High achievers receive high praise from society. They keep the world running smoothly doing the jobs others aren’t willing to do, pushing themselves to do ‘all the things’. This comes from setting impossibly high expectations of themselves, and a natural inclination for high-stress situations.

- My theory on a dysfunctional upbringing and high stress job choices
