146. The Perfection - Procrastination Paradox (And What Really Prevents You from Making Progress)

The relationship between perfectionism and procrastination is complex.  One reason why people procrastinate is perfectionism. For example, socially reluctant perfectionists might be so critical of themselves for making perceived mistakes in the presence of others that they will decline to contribute to conversations to avoid dealing with the associated negative emotions.
