Today everyone is struggling with social pressure. What will people say? And many times due to this 'fear' we are not able to do anything new.
Sona is not well and today is her friend Soumya's brother's wedding. Sona's husband Vinay is forbidding her to go to the wedding, but Sona is not listening to anything and is just saying that "She has invited me with great love, I have to go, otherwise she will feel bad." Vinay is telling Sona "You try telling Soumya your situation once, she will understand." You too must have been stuck in such a situation at some time or the other. We should indeed take care of the feelings of the people around us, but our priorities are also important, and cannot be ignored to always make or keep others happy. So what should be done in such a situation?
Refusal of love
Some people, under social pressure, accept everything said by others without thinking, but you should not make such a mistake. If you are unable to attend a family or social function due to poor health, children's exams, or any other reason, then refuse the invitation with love. Tell him your problem. He will not feel bad about it and your problem will also be solved.
Mind's worries
Some people have a habit of thinking too much. No one says anything to them, yet they are worried thinking that if I do this, then who knows what that person will say about me? In such a situation, you always start blaming yourself, due to which you feel unnecessary social pressure and remain stressed. So do not always blame yourself and leave this habit.
A little company of yourself
Meeting people, talking, and going to parties an important parts of your social behavior. But sometimes a person wants to give some time to himself too, 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 definitely take some time for yourself too.
Limits of pressure
Excess of anything is bad. Completely rejecting social rules or living in fear of social pressure by sacrificing your happiness, both are excess and wrong. Therefore, walk on a balanced path with restraint. Now the question is who will set the limits of social pressure? For this, a person should decide with his discretion what is important for him and what things he should not care about.
Confidence in the mind should not be less
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 extreme social pressure becomes frustrated, due to which he starts having psychological problems like anxiety, stress, and depression. Also, their self-confidence is weak and they always feel the need for social acceptance. Such persons 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 by individuals, so identify your priorities and make decisions without any pressure.
