Eh I think I have perfectionist tendencies but I think of them trying to self improve. I also have considered myself a people pleaser and at least not currently at all selfish idk

Edit: also I blame OCD I got from my dad xD

It’s a difference in focus. A perfectionist fears the power of failure while those striving for excellence work through their mistakes.
