Judging yourself particularly harshly (because you hold yourself to a high standard) and thus forcing misery upon yourself when failing to meet those standards is just as idiotic as complaining about external factors. Its a waste of time and energy that should rather be directed towards improvement or acceptance. High standards dont necessarily imply some form of self-flagellation. Trivial insight, but this had been a fundamental error of the last decade of my life.
