Somewhere it helps them to overcome inadequacies that are hidden deep inside them, Perfectionism helps them project a perfect image about themselves. Relationships do get impacted as a Perfectionist sits in judgement over everything you do / say, it is he/ she who is the best and you are constantly under scrutiny. Personally feel they need help as sooner or later they isolate themselves fromfamily and friends. Very true, having lived with many a ‘perfectionist’ it is amazing how they strive for it.

It is indeed very unfortunate that the fear of failure restricts us from attempting. The pressure from peer, parents, teachers and society all to perform better takes its toll. The ever increasing competition is further pressurising the erring mortals towards procrastination, panic and frustration. I hope we prevent this so that it doesn't steal the child's childhood away.
