In which situation is a student recognising unhealthy perfectionism?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Keep preparing endlessly before starting work
Unhealthy perfectionism can appear when fear of an imperfect result leads to endless preparation, avoidance, repeated checking, or failure to begin. Good work does not require waiting for ideal conditions; starting with a manageable part and improving through feedback is healthier. Submitting good work on time and correcting mistakes show balanced standards. Therefore, A identifies the unhealthy pattern.
