▲ 3 r/perfectionism
how perfectionism and narcissism are related?
We often unnecessarily at times put so much of pressure on ourselves to achieve everything at such a young age
Fueled by early childhood experiences, where we were rewarded for academic excellence, led us to believe that we are capable of continuing the same
That if we were to continue to succeed academically, we would be rewarded for the same that lead us to strive for perfectionism
When you see yourself outperforming your peers, narcissism naturally occurs. You start thinking of yourself as superior and others inferior to you
When actually narcissism serves as a tool to hide one's insecurities they contain about themselves
