[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound like you need a therapist.  This is a you issue, not a friend issue.[/quote]

Of course it's a me issue. There's something about me that makes people think I should be happy with a mediocre life. The question is - what is it?[/quote]

That isn't the question at all.  It's not your friend's job to hold you to high standards, or even to the standards that they hold themselves at.  They like you for you.  If you want to be a better person, that's on you.  They do not care either way (and they are probably tired of hearing about your "mediocre life").  They are not your parents, they are not life coaches or accountability coaches.  Either change something or accept your life as is. [/quote]

I've actually already pulled way back from them. I try and try and I can't better myself, and I'm tired of being told that's ok. Settling for mediocrity is...bad.[/quote]

You have a very odd definition of friendship.

In all seriousness you sound like maybe you'd benefit from some therapy, and I mean that nicely. It's very strange, and sounds unhealthy, that you are pulling away from friendships because they aren't pushing you professionally enough. [/quote]
