Most women think having high standards means expecting someone else to meet them.
But the real test of your standards isn’t how someone treats you —
it’s whether you abandon yourself to keep the connection.
In Episode 10 of the Living By Your Standards series, host Chris Oh breaks down the psychology of unconscious self-abandonment, emotional safety, and what high standards actually look like in real relationships.
This episode goes deeper than dating tips.
You’ll learn how early conditioning, nervous system responses, and invisible emotional habits shape the ways women shrink, silence themselves, or override their intuition — all while believing they’re being “easy,” “understanding,” or “low-maintenance.”
In this episode, you’ll learn:
➡️ Expectations vs. standards — why “they should…” beliefs create emotional instability and what standards look like in action.
➡️ The subtle ways women self-abandon
➡️ The psychology behind self-abandonment
➡️ Why your nervous system resists self-loyalty
➡️ How to shift from self-sacrificing to self-loyal
➡️ Practical relational standards — using intuition, clarity, and values-based decisions to stay grounded in who you are.
