I have an allergic reaction to aspirationalism, no matter the context or source. If someone tells me to "do better" or "become good", ironically or sincerely, my instant reaction is to start thinking of ways to do worse by the standards the person has in mind. Not a beast to feed

Do you actively have people telling you this now, or is this a reflection of younger years?

Fortunately not happened to me directly+personally especially often nor or ever. Par for the course I suppose, or even slightly less than average. But there's a lot of it around now, and quite often an admonition/exhortation applies to me even if I'm not the direct target.
