DON'T BE PRESSURED! ALL FINGERS ARE NOT EQUAL!

I don't know why I find it difficult to believe that people go through societal pressure, when the society demands something from you and you are not in a good position to render that which is demanded of you but you still have to get it done one way or the other wether you enjoy it or not! This is what I understand about the word "societal pressure".
Well as for me, I do not feel this pressure at all no matter what it is and where its coming from, because i strongly believe that everyone has the right to make their own opinions which ever way they desire and not being pressured over what they never wanted or even had plans for, as this might cause a huge collapse in the future.
Imagine being in a situation where your parents pressure you to get married? Or to have kids and build your home?
This might sound like a good approach but if you are insightful, you will understand the challenges and disadvantages that could lay ahead of such a person because, they might end up with a wrong partner due to this pressure or even have kids for and from the wrong people, and i think this are the most causes of an unfortunate wedlock!
And by this, I believe there is a great danger that lies beneath a societal pressure or any form of pressure at all including peer pressure!.
Gone are the days right?, yeah, gone are the days when our parents would always put their children through this pressure of either getting married, having kids, finding a job or even going to school! We now Gone are the days right?, yeah, gone are the days when our parents would always put their children through this pressure of either getting married, having kids, finding a job or even going to school! Everyone is now given the free will to act and respond to life in a way that suits them because life is all about choice and everyone has the right to make his or her own unique choice as long as it doesn't cause havock to the society.
Speaking about myself like I already said, I don't get pressurized, I refuse that state of being pressured no matter what it is because all fingers are not equal and I believe one of the main causes that lead to societal pressure is comparison and competing.
We really don't have to compare ourselves to others because everyone is unique and different.
The fact that your best friend got married early doesn't warrant you to be pressured towards getting married immediately as well, so here is the tip to avoid being under this circumstances.
OVERCOMING THE PRESSURE SAGA!

First, you really need to be matured, matured enough to know what's right and what's wrong, being able to distinguish and the good from the bad, knowing the right time to act and act appropriately with accordance to being civilized.
When you exhibit this characteristic, people would believe that you know what you're doing and every action or decision you make is absolute and by this, you cant be pressured in any way.
Always grab opportunities. Don't just act reluctant, look for opportunities out there and build yourself, be well established and this automatically gives you a good reputation and stands you out of your peers.
Know your circle of friends!. In life you definitely need people but you do not need everyone, know the kinds of people you keep around you as friends because they will influence your lifestyle and determine how you think, react and picture life ahead.
Keeping a circle of genuine trusted friends who always look forward to seeing themselves succeed by helping each other one way or the other and always chasing opportunities in life is the best kind of friends you should keep and not those who get envy or jealous about another's progress or even run you into debts.
I would really like to wrap it up here with my final words saying, I am not pressured by the society nor peers and you shouldn't give yourself to that pressure as well because, all fingers are not equal and everyone is unique in their own ways! Cheers π₯ π
