You got a 95%.
Instead of feeling proud, you're thinking:
"Why didn't I get 100?"
That's perfectionism.
For students, the pressure to always perform can slowly turn achievement into anxiety.
You may:
• Spend hours worrying about small mistakes.
• Feel like anything less than perfect is failure.
• Compare your performance with everyone else's.
• Avoid trying because you might not succeed.
• Tie your self-worth to your grades.
Wanting to do well isn't the problem.
The problem is believing that your best is never good enough.
Your grades measure your performance.
They don't measure your worth.
You are allowed to make mistakes, learn, improve, and still be proud of yourself.
Progress matters more than perfection.
👉 Start with yourself - healing begins there.
