How can i stop being a perfectionist?

[tectak]

Hi there I need some help, i always want things to be perfect and make my assignments perfect. I stress way too much about school and getting good marks to get into a good university. I spend at least 6 hours on homework or more a day and maybe it takes me 2 hours to write a simple paragraph cause i want it to be perfect?

Sometimes i write too much for my essays how can i cut down?

Most importantly when I get constructive criticism, I try to fix my assignment as best as I can but it takes me forever!!!

My parents and friends tell me to not care as much how perfect my assignments are and just hand them in. I need help! If i feel like i did a poor job on my assignment, should i just hand it in? cause ill waste my time trying to make it perfect?

Have no fears...you are far from perfect. Oh, and who is judging you?
Best,
