They were discouraged from showing their intense feelings and were severely chastened\u00a0for expressing anger or frustration. Their parents were emotionally cold and distant and uncomfortable with physical expressions of\u00a0affection or intimacy. Perfectionists value logic and order. For them, feelings and relationships are like ants at a picnic, unwanted. Perfectionists are prone to depression, especially after losing control of some aspect of their lives. They are also vulnerable to anxiety problems and worry.\u00a0 When they worry it only intensifies their compulsive perfectionism leading to irritable and cantankerous behavior.\u00a0If you are in need of counseling or know someone who does, please contact Lamar Hunt Jr. or see his website at <a href=\"http:\/\/lamarhuntjrcounseling.com\/\">http:\/\/lamarhuntjrcounseling.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Compulsive Perfectionist is someone who, as a child, achieved attention only for significant successes and were ignored or sternly criticized for anything less.
