Abstract
In this almost 30 half-page zine, you'll find a basic overview of what perfectionism is and how it impacts people.
About a year ago, I attended a conference for guidance counselors and I learned that perfectionism isn't a personality trait, it's actually a part of OCD. After hearing the presenter talk about what perfectionism IS, I was wowed to learn how it impacts relationships and the ways it can influence even the smallest aspects of a person's life.
This zine was created in part to actively resist my perfectionist tendencies. I spent months working on it (I didn't finish it as quickly as possible and leave it), I revised it many times (facing mistakes & feedback), and I am sharing it with an audience that isn't just ME.
As a queer person of color, resources that are about mental health are often hard to trust. I'm not saying you can inherently trust my work because of my identities, but I created this piece for me and folks like me! (from author's website)
