Enhanced Standards with Personal Growth

As individuals grow and invest in self-improvement, their standards for relationships and interactions tend to increase. One's evolving relationship with oneself often leads to higher expectations of how they should be treated, which consequently affects the kind of energy they seek in others. Improved self-awareness and self-compassion contribute to a heightened sense of empathy and understanding, not just towards oneself but also towards fellow individuals. This growth may result in distancing from those who do not align with one's values and simultaneously, a deeper connection with imperfect individuals through compassion and tolerance.
