Many people are perfectionist and want to be perfect. Those with Atelophobia have disproportionately strong responses to the thought of imperfection. I cannot even begin to understand this. Perfection has never been a goal for me. It is hard for me to understand there are people who are terrified to try things they are very good at just because they might not be perfect at it.
It’s a serious phobia and can ruin peoples lives. Still is not something that I can wrap my head around. Imagine the anxiety you would have if one little thing on a whole project was a little off and that made you toss the whole project.
I can’t even begin to imagine it, but others live with the disorder.
oh! I learned a new word today. I am not about perfection.
I was at a lost about the title of your post at first. I had never heard the term atelophobia before today. Now after reading, I realize even more that I am not a perfectionist also. But my ex was one and was driving me nuts with it.
