Lol yess feel this!! 
something I've definitely had to put a lot of effort intoadjust/redefining!!
What they said: "Just try your best!" What they meant: "Put in concentrated effort but not at the cost of your wellbeing/other responsibilities." What I heard: "You must sacrifice everything to do your literal best. If you fail, it's because you weren't trying hard enough."

Right! Turns out if I put in 100% into something, I have no percentage left over to do anything else.

I wish "the cost of your well-being" wasn't tied to neurotypical standards
What we sacrifice is often more yet they don't see it. -
Omg, that's absolutely a huge part of this!!!! So much of what lead to me burning out was doing things neurotypical people find easy, and hating myself for finding it hard (without knowing I was neurodivergent).

This is greatly exacerbated when our best doesn’t meet people’s standards. If our best isn’t ‘good enough’ we’re told to try harder, forcing us to sacrifice our wellbeing just to keep up (and avoid scorn). The cost of our wellbeing is expected, even if unknowingly so.

but when you try to back off from giving 100% in order to prioritize your well-being, folks will insist that you put just a little bit of your heart and soul back on the chopping block. because you were doing so well before!
-
you really weren't "doing so well" of course - but so many people seem to judge others purely and exclusively on their ability to complete tasks and fulfill arbitrary expectations, regardless of the expense to your mental and physical well-being

We take it so literally. And because we feel we gotta work twice as hard as our non neurotypical peers. If we tried our best without burning out or stressing our bodies we would probably be perceived as under performing
