Perfectionism, is it an ADHD thing?

My psychologist told me, on our last session ever, that I need to try not to be such a perfectionist about myself and others. That I demand extremely high standards for myself.

All I can think of is all the reasons why I’m not even close to being perfect, and I guess that’s what he means. That I’m never satisfied with myself and what I do.

Lately I’ve seen a lot of posts about ADHD and the need of being perfect is correlated. It makes me wonder, is this an adhd trait? Never to feel good enough, to not being able to get started with something due to fear of failure?

I do have adhd, but I’m still learning exactly what that means to me.
