just not good enough

things that make me a perfectionist (a by the book technically I really am I'm not just making this up but probably need to fix some of this perfectionist):

- list of "should's" and "have to's"
- don't want to do things because I'm afraid of failure
- pressure to earn others' approval
- must be the best or 'perfect' in tasks
- leads to procrastination until I have time to do it 'perfectly'
- I measure myself against my own standards

- there is no in between - I am all good or all bad

well, here's the deal.
how is this affecting my life? -- BADLY
how is this affecting the way I feel about myself? -- BADLY

what can I do about this?
well, yes, that is the question, isn't it?

you tell me.
