This episode explores how peer pressure shapes lives from childhood through old age — from classroom rankings and parental comparisons to the social expectations of adulthood. The host shares personal experiences of feeling pressured, how self-awareness developed around age 20, and why knowing what you truly want helps dissolve comparison-driven anxiety.

The episode encourages listeners to discover their genuine passions early, resist following the crowd, and make choices based on personal values rather than external expectations. Practical reflections include how family support (or lack thereof) affects exploration, and why internal pressure from one’s former self can be especially damaging.
