Not entirely right. Recognizing - a gerund. => No, it is a present participle starting the participle phrase "Recognizing ... is exhausting". It modifies the main clause "it's unfair ... myself". 'm holding - a continuous form of a verb. Correct. considering - an adverb. => No. It is a present participle starting a participle phrase (which is a type of adverbial phrase). "considering ... is exhausting" modifies "I'm holding myself ...". It is like saying "I'm holding myself to an unrealistic standard [if you consider ... exhausting]". dating - a gerund. Correct. "dating as a Millennial" is a gerund phrase. exhausting - an adjective

. Correct.
