You learned early: get it right = stay safe.
So now perfection feels like the only way to belong.
You obsess.
You over-prepare.
You shrink your realness to earn approval.
But here’s the truth:
You weren’t loved for being you.
You were rewarded for getting it “right.”
So your brain wired perfection as safety—
even when it’s exhausting you.
🎯 It’s like walking a tightrope…
when the ground was safe the whole time.
💡 Ask yourself:
“Am I showing up for connection… or for approval?”
👇 Comment ENOUGH if this landed.
✨ Follow for grounded coaching on perfectionism, healing, and self-worth.
