I Want To Fit In, Don’t You?
Sensible talk for men dealing with peer pressure. I use to think that peer pressure ended at high school.
Now, we knew for certain if we went on to college that it at least went into college with us. I will say that, for most of us, peer pressure lasts way after college.
Far into our adulthood, peer pressure goes. I think all of us, especially men want the feeling of security that comes from “fitting in."
The problem is I know so many men who want to fit in so badly that they will abandon all sense of value, and conviction to do so.
It isn’t only “religious” people who have convictions. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have some convictions about the way they want to live and the character they want to have.
Surprising to me and my guess is that maybe it will be just as surprising to you to know that men can be more susceptible to peer pressure than women can.
I have often wondered if it is the way we men tease each other sometimes.
What do you think? How far would you go to “fit in?“ How far have you gone to “fit in?“ Join the discussion and maybe we all will learn something here, hopefully, something valuable about ourselves.
