Below are the best quotes we could find on Self-Pressure.
Perfectionism and other forms of self-pressure arise when we internalize judgments or beliefs about ourselves, how we are perceived, and the impact our actions have on ourselves and others. Unlike normal performance pressure (which occurs when the approval or successful execution of our actions carry disproportionate, high-stakes, or very public consequences), self-pressure can occur in the absence of—or even contrary to—external consequences or judgment from others. Self-pressure can be a valuable tool for dedication to routine, practice, and self-improvement, but it can also trap us in self-judgment, burnout, and self-limiting beliefs.
