What is valuable about having high standards?

[Vneila21]

You were born into a society that tells you who to be, and how to act. The same society that is vague about dealing with people, feelings, and how prioritize expenses. With that, the question (that probably won't have a strictly direct answer) is: can't we just be human? We try to live up to endless expectations every day. Every person paints a mental picture of the other, and the person getting painted is self-conscious because they can't see the portrait. Not to encourage losing respect for yourself by standing people up. If an expectation is not audibly said, why the anxiety? Putting expectations on others might be easier than having expectations for yourself. How do you define high and low standards? If expectations and standards differ tell me how they do in the comments.

At first I thought your question was related to having a high standard of partner, now I see you’re talking about the standards we hold ourselves to as individuals. You’re right, placing impossible expectations on someone, even yourself, is an incredibly frustrating process. As much as we may have ambitions revolving around our interests and idea of who we want to be, it’s also just as important to learn true humility, learning your limits and being confident in your imperfections, as well as your ability to change. None of this is an easy process to do, and it’s one that requires constant maintenance, but I’m not sure there’s anything humans can “be” without constantly maintaining ourselves either. It’s all about patience and determination to keep it going, as well as adapting to what we may or may not need as we change as individuals.

Yes so very much so i just wrote a 2 page answer.
Actually, I copied it and I pasted it around going to paste it the first I have to find another question so the whole thing comes together and makes sense.
So after I find this other question. I will copy and paste them together. And you'll see what i'm talking about

Nothing.
You automatically rule people out for no reason other than social status.

[Vneila21]

Yeah, that makes sense. People get accustomed to what they are used to. Fear of the unknown kind of thing.
