I'm so sick of people telling me that I take myself too seriously. In my mind, I'm never pushing myself enough, never doing well enough to meet my own expectations, and then there are people telling me that it's okay, it's good enough, and I just want to scream at them.

It's not okay. I'm not good enough. Taking myself seriously is one of my biggest strengths and also one of my greatest flaws and it frustrates me so much. I expect so much from myself and when I can't meet those expectations (which is a lot) I come crashing down. I know that I am so much better than this but for some reason I never really feel like I'm ever at my full potential. It makes me so mad.
