The question that can come up here is "How far are you willing to go for the things you want?" People can be more inclined to set definitive values on items determining worth. We're also more likely to have benchmarks for acceptable progress in our personal relationships or when we're doing activities. It's very much a mindset that if "I don't get to X point, this is insufficient", and anything insufficient right now might as well be worthless.

The real challenge is that most things aren't going to meet our parameters for success or worth. We're always going to be aiming a little higher than what's possible. Those who can break free of these "make or break" points (most of which will be arbitrary and self-defined) are going to be much better off. This is one of those charts where any progress in the right direction is still progress. So don't talk yourself out of a good thing. Be reasonable and things will tend to work out for you. Best of luck.

Small details can tend to stick out to you like a sore thumb. Being perceptive and noticing them is great, as is pointing them out to others. But pointing them out to others over and over again can wear really thin on people and you're quite prone to restating the obvious. You can get caught up in the things you're doing, so you might not pay too much attention to what you're saying to others. But they're listening much more intently, and will notice if you become a broken record.
