In today's episode, we dive into one of the most confusing aspects of dating: the difference between unrealistic expectations and high standards. If you're a high-achieving woman who's been told youāre too picky or have unrealistic expectations, this episode is for you.
Key Topics:
- How unrealistic expectations can act as emotional walls in relationships
- Why we sometimes expect our partner to fill parental emotional gapsāand why thatās not fair
- The crucial difference between having high standards and controlling expectations
- How to set healthy boundaries while maintaining space for both partners to grow
- Why lowering your standards will never lead to the fulfilling partnership you want
Highlights:
- Unrealistic expectations are about control, while high standards are about respect and shared values.
- You should be the center of your own universe, and your partner should be a part of it, not the entire focus.
- Many high-performing women set unrealistic expectations for themselves, which translates into unrealistic expectations in their relationships.
- At the end of the day, your standards reflect how much you respect yourself. Lowering them means youāre doubting your worth.
