I'm flat amazed at how common the disease of perfectionism is. And how much misery it inflicts.

And people suffering from it don't realize! They actually think this makes them "better" than others, because they have such "high standards." What a trap. Yeah, if we'd ever get something done, we might be able to feel good about it.

But we don't.
