Other-Oriented Perfectionism

Other-Oriented Perfectionism involves setting extremely high standards for other people, expecting them to perform flawlessly and become easily disappointed when they don't meet these expectations. Individuals with this trait often hold others to a strict standard, which can lead to criticism, frustration, or strained relationships. It reflects a desire for perfection not only in oneself but also in others, based on the belief that perfection is achievable and necessary for things to be right or acceptable. This type of perfectionism can create interpersonal tension and may contribute to dissatisfaction when others fall short of these often unreasonable standards.
