How do you guys cope with perfectionism? My perfectionist tendencies

>perfectionist tendencies have stopped me from pursuing new things

Wrong

You're just an idiot looking for excuses for being an idiot

Realizing that showing up every day and failing at something leads to one day being ok at it, leads to one day being great at it.

It's the people who can put aside instant gratification that end up being most successful. The ones that go to the gym and work out a little each day, or go to med school for years before seeing a dime back. It's the people who wake up each day and say "today I will do better than yesterday" that ultimately succeed. One day you will look around and all the competition will have dropped out.

The people that seem perfect as young adults will all crash and burn in their midlife.

Perfectionism implies that you want to make something perfect. If you never pursue said things then it is not perfectionism holding you back but maybe rather the desire to do the choose/do the right thing in the first go.
Accept that some things will remain unknown until you uncover them and accept that every choice has risks. Pursue whatever you want to pursue OP. If you fail then so what, you tried and you learned from it. Trying is 100 times more valuable in terms of gaining precious experiences than never even bothering to try.
