Perfectionism

A perfectionist will not release their work until they deem it up to their standards. But I wonder if this reluctance to share their work has more to do with fear than academics. Fear of failing to live up to one's own standards, fear of admitting that you are not what you think you are, fear of...not being perfect. It doesn't matter which one it is or if it's something different altogether, in the end it is an insecurity.
