Anxious perfectionists go through perpetual guilt, shame, and self-punishment. No matter how hard you try, you're always falling short. It's exhausting, but you don't really know how to relax and probably don't sleep so well. Maybe you're first-generation, or the sibling who had to keep it together, or a grown-up "gifted and talented" kid. Anxious perfectionism may also show up as body tension, severe procrastination and indecision, and difficulty with boundaries and people-pleasing. Perfectionists don't do things perfectly—they feel like they ALWAYS have to do better. You may not even be sure if you can call yourself a good person.

I provide neurodiversity affirming autism assessments and therapy for adults in Ohio. Has anyone ever called you "too sensitive?" Maybe you've been told you're "picky," "rigid," or "overly emotional."

There isn't anything "wrong." Perhaps you're just wired differently. As a neurodivergent person myself, I understand how this can impact you, your daily life, and relationships.
