When we use the word “should”, we make one choice seem like the option that makes us a good person and one option seem like negative infinity.
I really like this sentence. I think it applies in many other scenarios beyond using “should.” I have experienced plenty of unproductive perfectionism arising from a mistaken belief that the perfect option is good and everything else is terrible.
