So much.

In my case it simply feels rational - even when it's blatantly hypocritical. I'll condemn myself to death for something I wouldn't bat an eye at if it were anyone else. It feels right to make impossible demands and punish myself, but almost evil and insane to do it to others.

Plus, if I held myself to the same standards as others, I'd be completely miserable: I'd never do anything, have anything, be anything. I'd barely exist. I want things out of life (I think), but who am I to make those demands on others?
