i hate when people push you to do something so much in order to meet their expectations. why would anyone be arrogant enough to assume that they're expectations are what should be met?
this doesn't just refer to those usually unattainable expectations that parents have for their children that teenagers rebel against with all their might. it's those things that friends or significant others expect you to do, just because you are a friend or significant other. that peer pressure that's so annoying because it's not a random peer, but someone who should understand.
this is probably the worst kind of pressure because it's so hard to say no to these people. you don't want to offend them because they are such a big part of your life, but it's so hard to convince them that what they want is different from your wants. you become so close to these people that it's assumed you have the same desires, but when one realizes that this isn't the case, it can be incredibly awkward to initiate that split.
friends or couples should never be attached at the hip and shouldn't ever morph into one, never ending person. why don't people hold on to those initial characteristics that made that friend or loved one notice them in the first place?
