if I can be comfortable all the time, then I can finally be free of social anxiety.

Powerful. So true for me. Perfectionism has been such a difficult obstacle, yet I know the distinct bitter taste in leaves in my mouth, know what I mean? In the past not only was a trying to do everything perfectly but I wanted to do those things which I thought others would validate and approve of. Double whammy. I still deal with perfectionism, but moving to the point of pursuing passions that resonate with me has helped.Also, not only is it not possible to be flawless, but everyone has a different idea of what should be pursued, different interests. This adds another layer of impossibility, if you will, more insanity to perfectionism. I probably already mentioned this, but it’s one of my most difficult challenges.
