New research suggests millennials are way harder on themselves when it comes to perfectionism compared to previous generations.
The study also linked the increase in "perfectionism" with record-setting cases of rising mental illnesses in the age group, including anxiety, depression and eating disorders.
Researchers believe social media may play a factor in the change.
