So I've been watching so many TikToks about dating stories and honestly they have gotten really bad lately. And one thing in common that every single person has been saying, especially when meeting people on dating apps, is that they know what their worth is. They're setting these boundaries. So this is a sign to know your worth and then add tax because you deserve the best of the best. And even though I don't know you, please know that someone out there will treat you the you want to be treated and never ever ever settle, okay? All right.

Thank you for mentioning that you deserve the best because I had this conversation with a friend and she took it as if I meant I wanted someone perfect, which is not the case at all. Don't we all want...

I totally agree with what you said and sometimes people start being demanding and they don't want to give anything positive to the relationship they just tend to be demanding and not giving anything back

But there is a difference between being demanding and just wanting the best for yourself, right? not like picking up on every tidbit and nuance that you find an issue with.

Oh my gosh, yes, that's exactly what I was saying to my sister a few weeks ago I was like, I'm so hard on myself But I would never say those words to like my friends or my family. Like it's just so wild how we can be our own worst enemy.

Yeah, but I think my point was some friends are like, you're just being picky. Like your standards are too high or there are these coaches that are like, oh, That's not a low bar. You know, like he's doing the best he can.

And never let people make you feel bad for wanting better for yourself. the end.

Oh, absolutely. Yes. That is something I keep stressing about with my friends just because I have my standards to a certain level. I'm not going to lower them to dim my light, you know like dimming my light doesn't make someone else's brighter.

Yes, definitely it's just a new trend or something that everyone is just putting their expectations higher and higher but I think it's just a matter of self-love.

And as I responded on another post, on another comment, I said sometimes people like to be demanding but they don't even put any effort. I think it has to be equal.

Yeah, I totally see where you're coming from. I definitely feel like if you're wanting someone to do something for you or be a certain way, you gotta be that way for them too. Otherwise, you know, it's not gonna work, whether it's friendships or relationships.
