Why does my archivements, successes and noticiable improvements barely get a single dopamine drop from my mind, but the slightest, smallest mistake feels 10 times worse than what it is?

it's a perfectionists point of view, everything SHOULD transpire as you plan them out to be, but the slightest mistake haunts you for awhile
I'm the same way, you just need to accomplish bigger and better things to wipe away the mistakes (that's what I do anyway)

examples:
>take an accounting exam
>get 3 questions wrong, get a 94
>feel shitty about the mistakes
>next exam rolls around
>studied for 5 days straight
>memorize every formula to the T
>get 100
>94 feels less like a disappointment

Mine would be something like that.
>do exam
>get 100
>meh, might get a subway to comemorate or something
>study hard for next one
>get 96
>feel like a Goddammed dissapointment, feel all my effort was wasted
>completely forget the 100, the 96 feels much bigger influence-wise than the 100
Hell, even not realizing it was ''Perfectionism'' my problem first hand is already bothering me.
Bumping for more advice.
Because you're too focused on the potential loss instead of the potential gain.
