What does perfectionism feel like day to day?

From the outside perfectionism looks like high standards. On the inside it is delay and fear: not starting something because it will not be good enough anyway, three hours polishing an email, and being unable to enjoy something finished because you only see the flaws. Compliments slide off. Criticism stays for weeks.

Is perfectionism not just ambition?
Ambition moves you forward; perfectionism holds you still. The difference shows in what happens after a mistake. With ambition you learn and continue. With perfectionism the mistake confirms something about you as a person. When that slows your work or costs you sleep, it is no longer a character trait but something that responds well to help.
