There is no such thing as standards that are too high.

A standard is a standard.

The question is does that standard lead to happiness or dissapointment.

Even then, the question is are you complaining that your standards cannot be met?

If you ARE complaining, then yeah its easier to lower your standards than to change other people.

If your presenting your standards not being met as a problem, what other solution is there? That YOU can enforce?

Just a tiny tweak: These questions are highly context dependent. Like what exactly is the "standard" that is being criticized, here, and why? Not how high or low it is, which are practically meaningless terms, but the specific expectation and what is problematic or not about it. Then you might get somewhere.
