My parents' expectations of me were in many ways reflections of their expectations of themselves, I think. Overall, it's worked out, but there were a few rough bits.
The main downside has been that I reflexively tense up when I don't live up to my expectations of myself. I'm working on getting rid of that reflex, but it's a long process.
