My standards don't cripple me and I am not a perfectionist, but I think I know what you are refering to, generally, in that sense.
Some people have had wonderful lives and done things i find worthy, but they were luckier than me, too, and didn't have the crippling background of abuse and neglect that I have had to crawl out from. (NOT that I am generalizing that anyone abused would feel as I do.) For me, it would have been better not to be born. Sometimes I think the best thing I could do would be to write a satire, not that I am a creative writer, per se. In other words, laugh or I'll cry.
