My parents always said that whatever you do, however hard you try, there is always room for improvement. The most they ever scored me was 9/10.
I don't like to blame my parents for my possibly-in-need-of-therapy psychosis, and I am well aware that there are plenty of people who grew up being scored much, much lower than a 9. I had and continue to have, two of the best parents anyone could ask for. I also think there's a time in everyone's life when you have to reponsibility for yourself, claim your mistakes as your own and lay to rest the hang ups that were passed on to you by those in charge of your up bringing.
Sometimes I feel like I am being suffocated by a crushing weight of inadequacy and every so often, I do wish I could feel what it might be like to be a perfect 10.
