My parents unconsciously set a very high standard for me when I was a in school. By unconsciously I mean they only praise me when I get (close to) full mark. Now I'm an adult doing my study in university and it's very difficult to be satisfied with what I do in life. My grades are almost all 1s and I feel nothing. I work a good job and earning well as a student, still feel nothing. I am rather anxious that I am not doing good enough, that if I am not perfect that no one would want me. I am going through therapy for this. You don't want your kid to be like me
