Peer pressure isn't real. What people call peer pressure is actually self-imposed pressure to be liked and accepted. Your reaction to what Jesse or Aaron says comes from inside you, not from them.
There's no such thing as peer pressure. It does not exist. It never has. And here's how I'll prove it. Let's say those 2 people's names were Jesse and Aaron. Jesse was the one I don't like. Aaron was the one I like. They both said the same words to me, no difference in pressure. I didn't listen to the one at all because I didn't want to be like them. I didn't want them to like me. And I didn't care about being accepted by them. The second one, I wanted to either be like them, I wanted them to like me, or I wanted to be accepted by them, or all 3. I didn't want to be like them. Who was applying the pressure, them or me? You have never faced peer pressure. You have faced a ton of self-pressure to be liked, to be like, or to be accepted. How many agree if we're really honest right now, that is 99% of what you call peer pressure is me wanting to be liked or to be like them or to be accepted by? If you agree that is 99%, just say yes, it is. Yes, it is. Subscribe, follow, join us at centerforrespect.com.
