When your high standards leave you resenting everyone's work

I hold my work to a bar that most people around me just don't seem to reach. And instead of feeling proud, I walk around with this low simmer of resentment, quietly annoyed at the sloppy corners and good-enough efforts everywhere I look. It's an ugly feeling to carry, and it colors how I see people I actually like.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Your standards run so far above everyone else's that you carry constant quiet resentment.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
