Sona is not well and today is the wedding of her friend Saumya's brother. Sona's husband Vinay refuses her to go to the wedding, but Sona is not listening to anything and is just saying, "He has called very lovingly, I have to go, otherwise he will feel bad." Vinay is telling Sona “Once you tell Soumya your situation, she will understand.” You too must have been stuck in such a situation at some point or the other. We should indeed take care of the feelings of the people around us, but your priorities are also important, ignoring which it is not always possible to please or keep others happy. So what should be done in such a situation?
Denial of love
Some people, under social pressure, accept everything said by others without thinking, but do not make such a mistake. If due to ill health, children's examination, or any other reason you are unable to attend your family or social function, then lovingly refuse the person who has invited you. Tell him your problem. This will not make him feel bad and your problem will also be solved.
Turmoil of mind
Some people have the habit of thinking too much. No one says anything to them, yet they remain worried thinking that if I did this then who knows, what would that person say about me? In such a situation, you always start blaming yourself, due to which you unnecessarily feel social pressure and remain stressed. Therefore, do not always consider yourself guilty and give up this habit.
A little companionship
Meeting people, talking, and going to parties is an important part of your social behavior. But sometimes a person wants to give some time to himself, instead of going on a picnic or outing with friends, he wants to spend some moments peacefully with his family. There is no harm in this, so take some time for yourself too.
Pressure range
Too much of anything is bad. Completely ignoring social norms or sacrificing one's happiness and living in fear of social pressure are both extreme and wrong. Therefore, follow a balanced path with patience. Now the question is who will determine the limits of social pressure? For this, a person should decide with his discretion what is important for him and what he should not care about.
The confidence of the mind should not diminish
Sociologist Dr. Ritu Saraswat says, we are all social creatures and cannot live completely cut off from society. In such a situation, it is impossible to completely reject social pressure. Often the mind of a person living under excessive social pressure becomes frustrated, due to which he starts having psychological problems like anxiety, stress, and depression. Additionally, their self-confidence is weak and they always feel the need for social acceptance. Such individuals often feel more social pressure. On the contrary, self-confident people identify right and wrong and make appropriate decisions for themselves. Keep in mind, that society is made up of individuals, so identify your priorities and make decisions without any pressure.
