Dr. Samantha Joel highlights research showing how these expectations ranging from better performance to handling more responsibilities can burden self-controlled people and strain their relationships. The article urges both highly disciplined individuals and those around them to balance expectations with fairness and empathy.

Quotes to ponder:
"People with high self-control might be left feeling overburdened by their friends, family, and coworkers."
"Completing difficult tasks is just as effortful for those with high self-control as it is for those with low self-control."
"Although high self-control individuals are happier in their relationships overall, they would be more satisfied still if their partners did not expect so much of them."
