Sometimes in life you come across "Hoops to Jump Through" and you have to decide whether or not to jump through said hoops.
For whatever reason some in leadership including those who should be encouraging you and believe in you (Leaders and even "friends") have expectations of others that they themselves couldn't even meet if they faced the same expectations.
None-the-less sometimes they will expect you to jump through hoop after hoop until they'll recognize your abilities, skills and efforts.
Yes, it would be much simpler if they'd see and pay attention to your efforts first so the hoops can be avoided but it comes to a point again, where you have to decide if you're willing to continue to jump through the hoops, which hoops to jump through and when enough is enough.
