Hello :-) I just stumbled upon this channel. How do you not have more views?? I think you seem like a very sweet, insightful person. Struggling with perfectionism myself, I immediately felt seen and understood. I've also been wanting to write a book for...forever :-D But everytime I started writing something, it didn't feel good enough. I can see scenes of the story in my head, but to write them down - and be entertaining - just seems so difficult. Anyway, I think you are doing great and I'll make sure to take a look at your other videos!
I know EXACTLY what you mean, the ideas are so clear and it just never comes out that way on paper. I'm trying to rewire my brain to accept that, so this video is as much a peptalk for myself as anything 😅 I'm glad it resonated! Thank you for your sweet comment, I hope you like it here ✨😊
It's like the divine destiny had recommended this video to me (jk it's just the yt algorithm😄)! I knew I had to watch it the moment I saw its title. I even made notes during the video for later journal prompts or just food for thought. And yes, I also struggle with perfectionism and what you said "I freeze because the weight of perfectionism is too heavy." really resonated with me. Lately, I discovered I'd really like to write something, but I can't just start. I write a verse or two here and there, but to seriously commit to it seems scary because everything I produce HAS TO be perfect. I don't know how I will deal with that, but this video may help me a little 😊❤ And also, it's really nice to know that others feel like this too and that I'm not alone, as I often think. I'm looking forward to your new videos! 😇 P.S. I love your energy 😊💜
Thank you for your incredibly kind comment! Sometimes the YT algorithm works in mysterious way, haha!... And I so so relate to what you're writing... For one thing, know that most things we see have been iterated, edited and revised several times, so nothing is perfect on the first go. and second, find one person who you know "gets you" and try to write for them as opposed to a faceless crowd. These are things that have helped me when I get stuck... and also you know, just not forcing it if I get overwhelmed 🤗 Thank you so much again for commenting, it kinda blew me away, and I welcome, I hope you'll like it here! 💜🌻
thank you for posting this. i’ve been feeling very down on myself and it is very helpful to hear other perfectionists speak on this issue of needing things to be EXACTLY right for you to move forward. it’s a sick way of thinking and i’m glad we are all doing our best to heal that part of our minds.
Thank you for your comment! I totally understand what you're saying, and for me the best thing has been to just try to enjoy what I'm doing. If it's not fun, what's the point? 💜 I agree, I feel like more people are talking about this, and that's good!
Wow! I am so glad that your video got recommended to me. Your words really inspired me and got me to wanting to change my mindset. I always feel like I have to completely change, be perfect and accomplish things that will impress the people around me, just to not hate myself not because I really enjoy doing those things.. I think many people feel this way. :c greetings from germany!
Oh wow, I so relate to this on like a cellular level! 😅 It can be so difficult but I'm realising more and more that art (and I think life in general, haha) has to leave room for the unexpected and unplanned. I'm so glad you like the video and thank you for commenting! I hope you'll allow yourself to enjoy the things you enjoy!🌻
I'm sorry you feel that way. I definitely used to feel this even more a few years ago! I think comparing myself to others made it worse. Finding things that make me happy and gives me confidence has changed that, but it takes time🌻
