  Here are some interesting thoughts about perfectionism and self-betrayal:
  
  "Perfectionism seems obsessed with the task itself, whether or not people can see it being done. Perfectionists seem more obsessed with convincing themselves, rather than other people, of their worth.
  
  Their conduct seems to pose the question: What more can possibly be expected of a human being?
  
  Perfectionists are interested not in being conscientious but in proving their conscientiousness, and this requires demanding more and more of themselves, unendingly." (Bonds That Make Us Free)
