There's never been peer pressure. And I know that's controversial for me to say. Curriculum has it all over it. I understand, but I will prove it to be true. It was never peer pressure. It was me wanting to be like this person or to be liked by them. If that doesn't exist, there is zero pressure. Who was applying the pressure? I was. There is a ton of self-pressure. If you understand that, if you walk out of this room going, I've actually been the one doing it to myself, can you switch the situation? You've got control.
