Expecting more from yourself can also mean working to be more kind to yourself, loving yourself more, and working on achieving better mental health. Or looking for greater self satisfaction rather than external validation.

That's something I struggle with as well, but I'm trying really hard to hold myself to a higher standard of self-empathy and self-respect.
