Psychology of perfectionism and fear of failure

Dr. Cristina Selvi examines the psychological impact of perfectionism and the fear of making mistakes. For some individuals, an error is not merely a behavior to be corrected but is perceived as a global judgment on their personal identity and self-esteem.

This fear can lead to significant anxiety regarding how others perceive one's competence and ability. Such psychological pressure can ultimately influence personal choices, relationships, and the overall capacity to take action in daily life.
