There are several ways perfectionism can be defined.
One definition is “refusal to accept any standard short of perfection”
Another more extended one is –
Perfectionism is often defined as the need to be or appear to be perfect, …….. It is typically viewed as a positive trait rather than a flaw.
Then, of course, there are the more colloquial ones like
“I used to be conceited but now I’m just perfect”
