Thank you, Moritz, for your answer! I’d agree that I don’t really see this as anyone setting hard expectations—for this reason I think that at least part of an effective solution for me here is to do some personal work; why do I feel some sense of external pressure even though when I ask most EAs, they’re supportive of healthy working habits? It’s possible some part of me (maybe the part responsible for impostor syndrome) has over updated on the opinions of very few people about how much I should be doing and ignored the vast majority of EAs who encourage a healthier approach.
P.S.: thank you for offering this, if I can figure out the whole anonymity thing, I may well reach out!
