In a dialogue with a friend about life outside the country, he was talking that when he is outside his community, he does not think much about the type of car he rides or the clothes he wears, and does not concern himself with the shape of the house in which he lives, whether it is rent or ownership, nor the number of rooms and specifications, so that he does not He thinks a lot about the number of children or their gender, and although this friend was blessed by God only girls, he did not think about having a boy, as is the case in some societies, and after a long talk about these ideas and differences, he told me that after he returns home, whether on leave For long or short vacations, these thoughts return to him, so he begins to think about everything that is going on around him, as he begins to pay attention to those things that he usually neglects when he is outside his country. ?

Why does he only think of it when he returns to his surroundings and society?

In fact, the talk of this friend was not strange or surprising, as it is the case of all of us, we go on a travel and we unleash ourselves, wear what comforts us and ride cars that meet our purpose and need only, and in this way we deal with things in the same way and thinking the same, and the reason for all of this is pressure Social, our thinking about our society and the look of those around us and what they will say and think, and we calculate the bragging and arrogance or what we call “prestige” for everything around us, and this matter we may see negative most of the time, but if we think a little we will find that it is a human nature that cannot be evaded, we are in our nature As human beings, we love appearances and to paint a good image in front of others, and this is not a shame in our society or in us, but the shame in making this matter is the reason for our destruction and consumption.

We live today in our beloved country, the United Arab Emirates, and we encounter people of all nationalities, and if we compare the state of their living in our country and what they build, hoard and bring in their countries, we will find the difference is great. In our societies, these things appear clearly and clearly, but this does not mean that we are the only ones who think in this way, the only difference is that our societies are attached to each other, and each person tries to show his best blessings, efficiency and high ability to build himself, his family and his entity.

The problem with social pressure is that it often confuses our lives, delays our path, and disrupts our aspirations, and this only happens if we make society the standard and basis for determining the shape and level of our life without accounting for our ability and capabilities, whether material or social. We only think about our image and our appearance in front of people only, and it makes us make wrong decisions that may send us behind bars or burden us with burdens that we do not need. livelihood in terms of finances or having children.

On the bright side, social pressure, if used correctly, may make you a more successful and better person through your attempts to prove your being, your social standing, and your abilities to make achievements. Thousands of people who had talent or people of thought or opinion, and when they migrated from their homelands, they no longer have that passion for continuity, and they lived their lives in the shadows without any achievement;

We conclude from this that social pressure is a double-edged sword, you are the one who chooses how to use it and employ it for your benefit or it becomes a pest in your life that destroys yourself, so be the decision-maker so that you do not regret it too late.
