When I thanked them, they all said they knew about my illness and had been keeping an eye on me.

Perfectionism doesn't believe in practice shots. It doesn't believe in improvement. Perfectionism has never heard that anything worth doing is worth doing badly--and that if we allow ourselves to do something badly we might in time become quite good at it.

" The critic does not believe in creative glee--or any glee at all, for that matter. No, perfectionism is a serious matter.
