Mange unge har i dag en oplevelse af utilstrækkelighed. “Hvis det kan gøres bedre, så er det jeg gør ikke godt nok”. Perfekthedskulturen kræver, at vi skal få det optimale ud af alt, og at vi tilmed skal have det rigtig fedt på samme tid. 

Skyld siges at kalde på handling til at gøre det godt igen, men hvad betyder det ham eller hende, der konstant kæmper med ikke at have gjort nok og skammer sig over det?

INADEQUATE

Many young people feel inadequate. “If it is possible to do better, then what I do is not enough.” The culture of perfection requires that we optimize everything and we are furthermore supposed to enjoy ourselves at the same time.

Guilt is said to call one to make up for the wrong that has been done, but is guilt a helpful feeling when one already struggles with the feeling of never measuring up?
