Who Said You Had to Do That?

Who told you that you had to do all of that?

In this episode of The Reality Lab, we’re continuing our "Unnecessary" series by talking about the expectations, pressure, and imaginary standards we sometimes place on ourselves without anyone ever actually asking us to.

We get into why we replay conversations that already ended, prepare arguments that may never happen, worry about what people might think, and hold ourselves to standards we would never expect from someone else.

Because sometimes the pressure is real.

And sometimes we created it.

We also talk about the difference between accountability and self-punishment, and why feeling worse about a mistake doesn’t automatically make us more responsible.

Our Reality Check: Not every expectation deserves to come with you!
