“How we behave is influenced by how others behave. We like to think we’re as free as birds, that we’re completely unique individuals, and certainly very different from most people around us. But in actual fact, we’re not unique in the slightest.”

“That’s the thing about high standards: they don’t have to come with insecurity. Only perfectionism grafts the two together. As Paul understands it, perfectionism isn’t about perfecting things or tasks, nor is it about striving for especially high standards in, say, your assignments, appearances, parenting, or relationships. It’s far, far deeper than that. It’s about perfecting ourselves, or to be more exact, perfecting our imperfect selves; going through life in defensive mode, concealing every last blemish, flaw, and shortcoming from those around us.”
