The one thing I've personally found irritating about society i live in is they put pressure on me not directly but saying things to mom and all that.
This societal pressure isn't an easy thing to deal with, I've been through it a lot and I'm used to it now, knows how to deal.
Society Putting Pressure on You - Tactics
I've seen a lot of pressure that comes indirectly from other people like a neighborhood aunty visits your house and have conversations with mom.
After that when they leave, I get told about how this x person is doing this good, this x person did that and that.. oh, so better than me (that was her point).. like, creating a comparison between two different people who have no link at all just to satisfy own soul.
People here don't hesitate or think twice before saying things that can effect you seriously.
This one thing happened to me once about two years ago I was told from every single elderly person I had an interaction with that "why are you not doing a job" when their son is doing this one.
It's not even their business to ask me that but anyway everytime someone asked me that I just said "I'm studying".
Even though they knew all my struggles from the time I started working I was a child and at some point when it effected my progress, I had to leave.
At that time I didn't spend a day without getting the same question from people and it put me into a lot pressure that I started thinking about life, like I've failed it already and there's no way coming back from it.
In our society, people are kind of an artist who knows to put pressure on the other person even if it's a relative or a family person, they're the best init
I Found The best Solution of Societal pressure
Good thing about that pressure I was facing is one of the reason I got into crypto and started my side hustle three years ago.
Now when I'm doing my side hustle on internet, the joe living in the neighborhood don't know about that and still is concern about if I'm doing a job or not.

I don't feel that societal pressure anymore, everytime when someone asks me about stuff like that.. I just ignore and have faith on myself to prove everyone wrong, I've kept my life way too Private and whether it's new problem or pressure I just keep it to myself and deal with it.
Ignorance is the way, you don't have to think about what other people think or say all the time.
Wrapping Up...
In the end, it's just society doing their things as they find comfort making someone feel bad to prove themselves is something here to stay, maybe for another ten or twenty years.. I hope this gets better and people start to focus on things that matter in life.
Putting Pressure on someone else isn't the right thing and it happens unintentionally too, well.. there's always a solution to these and the one I told above works well.
