Peer pressure is a phenomenon that occurs when young people are influenced by their peers, classmates, and those of the same age group. It manifests deep in the subconscious, causing Gen Z to constantly compare themselves with their peers, leading to the emergence of pressure.
In addition to pressure from classmates and friends, social media also significantly contributes to amplifying peer pressure. Most young people nowadays spend a considerable amount of time online, providing them with continuous updates about others' lives through social networks. Seeing others have more exciting lives can unintentionally make individuals feel insecure, even envious, prompting them to strive to match those achievements.
More importantly, it is crucial to recognize that each person is unique. You are unique with your own beauty and strengths, and your individuality is complete and meaningful in this life. There's no need to try to become someone else or follow a path similar to theirs. Find your own purpose and remind yourself of your path whenever you are swayed by the success of others.
