Studies indicate that being extraordinary competent can place a person under an unusual amount of stress because it raises other people's expectation of them.

Other people do not comprehend how difficult it is for a high performer to complete multifaceted tasks. They also tend to underestimate how much effort an enterprising person exerts who maintains a positive and pleasant attitude while completing difficult assignments."
