Perfectionsyndromme is a newly diagnosed illness most common among teenage girls. Some cases are very mild and can most certainly be overcome, however in some cases it can be fatal. The pyschological disease's cause is unknown. Some blame upbringing, others blame the media, but the truth be told... Nobody really knows.
Common symptoms:
Constantly reminding yourself you're physical looks aren't good enough.
Finding yourself not wanting to wear certain things until you've lost/gained weight.
Desperate desire to have a boyfriend/girlfriend who treats you like a
goddess.
Obsessing over an imperfection you have (could be acne, unwanted fat ect).
Developing other disorders such as anorexia in order to meet your own requirements.
Wanting to achieve perfect grades.
Being unhealthily jealous of someone who you think is better than you at something.
If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, please make sure you analyze why you are like this. Finding the root of a problem is where you can begin to heal and overcome the illness. Also I ask that you take this seriously, and remember that by changing everything about yourself will not make you any happier, any prettier, or even any better. But accepting yourself for who you are and accepting that we all have flaws and talents, and maybe discovering your own talent - will. The pressure on young girls is increasing and whilst this is the case, the number of insecure girls is increasing also. If it's any help please get a councellor.
Remember that there will ALWAYS be a girl who is prettier, there will ALWAYS be a girl thinner, or if your thin, there will ALWAYS be a girl more curvaceous, but even the prettiest girl in the room - still doesn't feel like she is.
