Opinion: Toxic perfectionism — take that break
After taking a statistics exam freshman year at BYU, my friend looked at me and said she was upset that she had only gotten a 94%. I was baffled. I had gotten a 78% but was glad I hadn't received a worse grade. I asked her why she was upset when she had received an A. She told me she was upset because she could've done better — a 94% wasn't a perfect grade.
