I think this is one of my issues. I do have now and have had people in my life who expect perfection of me. I can never live up to their standards and am "punished" because of this. I am working to break out of this pattern, to believe I deserve more, I deserve some compassion, and I deserve the right to be imperfect. It's hard going against so many years of "training."
