Is it possible to put too much pressure on yourself?

[Edax]

Having gotten involved in some discussions lately, I have to ask, is there such a thing as putting too much pressure on yourself? This started in another thread, but I didn't want to take away from current discussions, so here I am. Under my pen standards for myself, I'm averaging about 5.3k in damage as NIN on O9S with my static. I regard myself as a garbage player because of those numbers. My question is two fold.

Is it possible that I'm being too harsh on myself? (I have reason to believe that my numbers are bad made on other discussions I've been involved in on the forums)

The other question is, is it possible to put too much pressure on yourself, whether it's in casual or raiding content?

Yes. If your just doing normal content, there's no reason to stress over damage numbers or rotations. As long as your staying alive and dealing the damage, your helping your team out. Always remember that FFXIV is an entertainment product.
