Hmm...

well, that kind of thing is how task-avoidant perfectionism can manifest. If it's severe and well-entrenched, I mean.

I'm not sure that there IS a way of addressing it externally, however. All you can do is offer little nuggets of counteractive wisdom and hope that something seeps through the mental barricade well enough to make an impact.

I wonder what would happen if you just gave it your all?

It's better to not have regrets about not doing your best.


If you do your best, you don't have anything TO regret, you know.
