Performance Addiction

Perfomance Addiction is the belief that perfecting appearance and achieving status will secure love, respect and happiness. It is an irrational belief system, hardwired in childhood, and reinforced by American culuture. I believe, this new addiction is causing misery in how we work, how we love and how we parent. Does anyone identify with this difficulty?
Hello, yes , I do. We are raised to be perfect, as if we are not good enough. Then as adults, we in turn push are children to do better. Its a thin line between doing your best....and not being able to ever be happy with what you acomplish. I understand, I dont know if I can help you, but I do understand. take care, love Kris
