teljesítménykényszer

Teljesítménykényszer, which translates to performance pressure or pressure to perform, is a psychological concept describing the feeling of being compelled to achieve a high level of success or to constantly prove one's worth through accomplishments. This pressure can stem from internal expectations, such as a perfectionistic personality, or external sources, like societal norms, family expectations, or workplace demands.

Individuals experiencing extreme teljesítménykényszer may struggle with anxiety, stress, and burnout. They might define their self-esteem solely based on their achievements, leading to a fear of failure and a constant need for validation. This can manifest as overworking, difficulty relaxing, and a persistent sense of inadequacy even when successful. The pressure can also hinder creativity and genuine enjoyment of activities, as the focus shifts from the process to the outcome.

Managing teljesítménykényszer often involves developing a healthier perspective on success and self-worth. This can include setting realistic goals, practicing self-compassion, and recognizing that value is not solely determined by performance. Mindfulness techniques and seeking support from therapists or counselors can also be beneficial in addressing the underlying causes and developing coping mechanisms. Ultimately, fostering a balanced approach that values effort and personal growth alongside achievements is key to mitigating its negative effects.
