She’s very hard on herself and never feels like she’s doing enough; she walks around with a deep sense of shame for not being the perfect person she expects herself to be. She’s scared to try new things and stays within her comfort zone because she’s terrified of being a beginner. She often feels like she’s putting up a front so people won’t see the messiness underneath. As a result, she feels like people don’t know the “real” her. She learned: I need to be perfect to be loved.
