Having standards is healthy and important for your wellbeing and happiness. This tool is designed to help you explore whether your expectations are serving you well or might need adjustment.
Remember: You deserve respect, love, and healthy relationships. Never lower your standards for basic human decency, safety, or core values. However, flexibility in preferences and realistic expectations can open doors to meaningful connections.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please seek immediate medical attention or call 911.

π Remember: You Deserve Healthy Standards
Healthy standards are about self-respect, not perfection.
Consider these principles when evaluating your standards:
β’ Non-negotiables: Safety, respect, honesty, and core value alignment should never be compromised
β’ Preferences vs. Requirements: Distinguish between what you'd like and what you truly need
β’ Growth mindset: Allow room for people to grow and change over time
β’ Self-reflection: Regularly examine whether your standards are based on fear, past trauma, or unrealistic expectations
β’ Balance: Maintain high standards while staying open to unexpected connections
Professional guidance can help you find the right balance for your unique situation.
