Perfectionism: believing that anything less than perfect is unacceptable.
-
Past Negative Experiences: previous failures or harsh criticism create a fear of repeating them.
-
High External Pressure: expectations from parents, teachers, or society to perform well.

Fear of Judgment: worrying about embarrassment or ridicule from peers.
