Peer pressure is a very funny concept abi funny kind of
pressure. This is because you don’t have to be forced into doing anything; it
starts in your head. You might be constantly teased about not having something
someone else has and it starts to register in your mind/head (choose one) that
you’re not up to the standard you should be. Who sets the standard really so
why bother?
It can also come in form of people around you having something
you don’t which you probably admire but have no means of getting – yet. Rather
than wait for your time, you feel you should join the clique so you hustle
anyhow you can to get it. Funny thing is, those who own it might have been
allowing you access to theirs (I don’t mean babe here, nobody wants you to
share their babe) to the extent that you won’t feel the need to get yours but
you just can’t (kent) keep calm.
Peer pressure isn’t always negative as it usually is made to
sound. Peer pressure can inspire you to do amazing stuff with your life as
well. Imagine having friends, who are very ambitious, it will rub off on you
somehow. Even if you’re very phlegmatic about achievements, they will push you to
do something. You might even feel pressure to step up to their level so this
will make you up your game.
In the end, it is all about what you do with your time, who
you spend time with bla bla. If evil communications can corrupt good manners,
imagine what good communication could do to your manners/ life?
Tips On
Reducing/Eliminating The Pressure
- - Watch your association, if
it doesn’t inspire you to do better mentally, spiritually and financially, I
don’t know why you’re there in the first place.
- - Feed your mind with good
stuffs.
- - Don’t feel intimidated (I
know it’s not easy) by what people own, you don’t know what they went through
to get it.
- - Be contented with who you
are. Strive to be better in positive and productive ways only.
- - Remember that you can’t be
who you want to be ‘sharply’. There are processes, stages you must pass
through. Pass through them in peace without jumping fence.
- - Go on social media to have
fun not to constantly remind yourself of how far you are from achieving your
goals.
- - Be yourself. Nobody
matters more than you so who would you rather be except you?
- - Dare to be different. How
about doing what no one else is doing rather than doing what everyone is doing?
