Perfectionists often equate their judgmental nature with being discerning, operating under the belief that these judgments protect them from harm. However, this mindset promotes chronic anxiety as it fosters a sense of distrust in others. This self-justified critic views the world through a cynical lens, assuming negligence or malice in others. While such judgments may provide superficial comfort and a feeling of superiority, they ultimately isolate individuals, hindering real connections and fostering loneliness.
Judgments keep the perfectionist safe but for reasons unbeknownst to them.
Being judgmental is akin to being discerning and analytical, but perfectionists rarely examine the evidence for danger.
