Thank you so much for the replies, sinking and hvert! I really appreciate it.

I don't really know how much of a problem this is posing to be in my life. I mean, I know it's not exactly healthy to idealize people so much and to get worked up about pleasing them, but this seems to kind of motivate me to do well. But at the same time, it can dominate my thoughts and it kind of makes me lose perspective of what my priorities should be.

I think I do generally try to please everyone, but I won't go to the lengths that I do for these people. Sure I'll feel ashamed if I let someone down or don't do what I said I would, but I won't panic like I would if it happened with one of my mentors.
