Best Of: Beau — Vanity: Perfectionism, Ego & Pride

Secret Life - En podcast af Brianne Davis - Mandage

Society conditions us to strive to be perfect — be thin, toned, ripped, trimmed, waxed, peeled, tan, liked, followed, friended, and then... we will be loved. There's a misconception that only women put themselves under a microscope when it comes to their bodies and their looks, but men do too. Continuing our Best Of series, we share some of our listener favorites. The episode originally aired on November 2, 2020, as Ep #22. A new study points to a surprising connection between rising perfectionism in our culture and rising mental health issues, including depression and anxiety. The study, published in the American Psychological Association's Psychological Bulletin, suggests that young people are more obsessed with perfection than previous generations. Between 1989 and 2016, perfectionism has continued to rapidly increase in the US, with rates that parallel increased cases of depression and anxiety. Perfectionism is a combination of excessively high personal standards and overly critical self-evaluations.
