On the one hand, the straight-A student syndrome helps to achieve goals, forms willpower and self-esteem. Such people rarely give up and know how to see things through to the end.
On the other hand, the desire to be perfect in everything can become a source of stress, anxiety and chronic guilt. When expectations are too high, any small deviation is perceived as a failure. As a result, the straight-A student finds herself trapped by her own standards, forgetting about herself and her needs.
It is important to remember: being good is wonderful, but being happy is even more important. Sometimes it is worth allowing yourself a mistake, weakness or rest. And perhaps these are the moments that make us real and alive.
