Is it normal to expect more of myself than i am capable of?

89% Normal

In my head, I know fairly well what I can and can't do. However realistic this part of my brain is, it feels like another part of my brain doesn't communicate with the first part at all. I know there are people smarter than me, but I'm always disappointed if I don't score the best on a test (BTW, I'm smart enough that no one's surprised if I do). I know there are people better than me at my sport, (Not team sport) and I know who they are, but when I lose to them I still feel disappointed, even though I know that they're better than me. Does anyone else feel this way sometimes?

Is It Normal?

    It is very normal. Setting yourself targets and goals will help you get further in life. If you expect more of yourself, you are most likely to reach your expectation, and you keep setting yourself goals, you will keep winning. Good strategy!

    High expectations urge you to excel in whatever it is your doing. Keep setting high standards and you'll always get better at what your doing. Especially if its sex. Im great at that.
