Have you experienced it? How did you handle it? Sometimes I do okay, but there have also been times when I caved into the pressure.

I do not know if its social pressure, more like societal pressure. At least when it comes to how women are supposed to be perfect wives, moms, career women etc. I am trying to break away from caring what the mainstream thinks.

@MickeyCheeky

Depending on the situation, avoiding certain people or situations (or running away) is fighting social pressure. In some instances giving in to social pressure means staying and thereby giving assent.

@sarahsweets
That is a good example of having to deal with social pressure. Keep the faith!
