Societal pressure is one of the pressures that people are facing. There are so many things we see online and we tend to maybe think about it. It may be something you you’re going through and someone else spoke out about that same thing, it has a way of making you depressed especially when you see what other people are saying about it.
It may be seeing posts of people on social media and they’re all looking fine and fresh. It may look like they’ve really made it big in life and you may be pressured that some people are doing better than you.
It may be seeing so many people getting married every Saturday and you’re yet to find a lover talkless of who to get married to. It happens and we all have got our problems in life but at the same time, it is always good to be less pressured so you can focus on how to get better in life.
Am I facing any societal pressure?
I would not say yes or no to this but I’d give an explanation. I used to face pressure before to the point me being depressed especially because of things I see on social media. Some of them may be real while some are not but notwithstanding, I was seeing them and it had a way of telling on me.
Then I realized that thinking about those things, the way people dress, the things they post online and all will just have a way of affecting my mental health so I began to reduce the way I used to think about those things.
Presently, I don’t really care about how well either fake or real that people are doing either online or in the society. I am trying to make sure that I’ve got a thick skin so that no matter what I see that people do, it won’t really get to me.
Well, there are times when I get carried away and makes me wanna feel bad again but trust me, I always make sure to snap out of it very fast so I can go back to working harder so I can make money to be able to buy the things I can afford.
One thing I’m doing to avoid myself from being pressured
One major thing I do is focus on my work and visit social media less. Anything that’s gonna make me feel inferior, I’m trying to make sure that I stay away from it. And when I see something that will make me pressured, I make sure that I check my earning applications. You know there is joy in seeing that some amount of money is entering your wallet every now and then and I don’t think there is anything better than that to me right now.
Societal pressure is real and causes depression for so many people. At the same time, some people have caused themselves harm based on what they see other people do so we should try to make sure that those things do not get to us. It isn’t easy but giving it a try will be a good idea.
