Serious Question: Do you actually have standards for yourself?

Okay, I'm posting this because a lot of people, on GAG and real life, don't understand me when I say certain things. It'd be complicated to explain, but the easiest way I just came up with to explain is, that I have standards for myself. In EVERYTHING I do. Every single thing. Even when I type a GAG post on here.

Most people with simple mindsets do not understand this, at all. They're lazy, contribute nothing to society, and then judge me when they see me actually put in effort and try in life. This is why I DETEST the idea of the "average" human. Uselessness. Valuelessness. Being insignificant, worthless, and very replaceable. The idea of even being seen as "average," sickens me! I know what I do daily in life, regardless who witnesses it or not.

Some people don't understand why I can sometimes be negative. Both towards society and myself, especially in my own shortcomings and failures. It's because I have standards. That's the simplest way to explain it. I WANT a better society than this... This Dystopian sh*t of woke culture and Participation Trophy losers. I WANT an educated society of free-thinking adults who actually contribute to the greater good of humanity and whose existence actually means something. I WANT to live in a better world, with better people, than... This.

And yes, change starts from within. I literally work on myself daily. Every single day.

"Should I be less negative and critical? Or more passionate about wanting a better society and leading by example?"

"Should I work more on my mental stability and having more fun? Or work more on my physical health at the cost of enjoyment and happiness?"

These thoughts go through my head daily.

It's the reason why I can sometimes come off "negative" on GAG. Because I often don't see the results of a better world that I want. And some failures, like my height or looks, I can never correct or fix. And that drives me crazy!

I am the way I am due to my standards. Do you have standards for yourself as well?

Yes, I have high standards for myself and actually work on them.
"Yes, I have high standards for myself." But this is actually a lie just to avoid facing reality.
I have minimalist standards, like "be a good person," "contribute to society," etc.
I'm average. (No, I don't.)

Having standards only for those around you, in your own social circle, can matter too. You're still changing the world; just on a smaller scale.
