Unrealistic society standards are fake rules that make people chase perfection instead of being their real and happy selves... And these rules have caused more harm than good because many people have ended up hurting themselves or walking the wrong path just to make sure they achieve those unrealistic standards.

Men are expected to have a successful career and be wealthy by a certain age, and those who don't meet that expectation are often looked down on by society.
Ladies are also expected to get married within a certain age range, and those who don't are often looked down on and talked badly about - As if they wasted their chances when they were younger. But the truth is, not all women misuse that opportunity.
People need to understand that everyone's timeline is different. The time Mr.A gets married may not be the same as Mr.B's, and the time Mr. K becomes rich might come later than Mr. D's. We need to respect these differences and stop rushing others.

Many societies expect everyone to get married, especially as they grow older, marriage is seen as a must do in life and this so unrealistic because not everyone find happiness in it, some people find their happiness in their career pursuit while some prefer to wait for the right person but because of society pressure, they tend to rush in with any man who shows sign of interest in them even if they are not attracted or love him... The same pressure that forced them into the marriage is also what made some stay in a toxic relationship because they don't want to be labelled as single mum or dad. Society is often unkind to single parents, especially single mothers. People tend to assume they were promiscuous or irresponsible, which is unfair and hurtful.
Not speaking for all single mums, but not all are promiscuous; some choose peace of mind over toxicity.
The best way to break free from unrealistic societal standards and pressure is not to care about it, prioritize self-love, do what makes you happy, grow at your own pace, and distance yourself from people who make you think you are not doing well for yourself. Every progress counts, every small achievement matters.
Most importantly, do not rush your timeline... I know a guy who is over 40 years but not doing well for himself, he was lucky to get a free 500k from someone and instead of him to invest it in his business, he said he is old enough to get married and be in a true relationship, but the position he is makes that difficult, he got advice from those close to him that he should not venture towards that line but he didn't listen, he got a girlfriend but after few months he exhausted the 500k and lost the lady too.
He would have a higher chance of doubling the money if he didn't decide to have a girlfriend, and for those wondering how having a gf made him lose the money, having a gf in Nigeria is like employing someone, lol.

Honestly, society pressure is too much. If we don't get married within a certain rang just as you mentioned it's a problem because they will think the lady especially have used her live to do nonsense that's why no man is willingly to marry her.
yea, things like this need to stop cos it only make people do things they don't want to do.
Sending you Ecency curation votes.😉
👍👍👍
Lol, employing someone, that's basically expensive, even beyond paying them their salary :D
Nowadays, almost everyone has an opinion on what you should do with your life and when, and people that end up rushing their timeline because of that end up regretting it bitterly. Manage the pressure and keep loving your life :)
no be small thing, men without money are facing a lot...
I think we should not care about those ridiculous rules. Society can't define us. We should do what we feel good for us. It's simple in my eyes but everyone can't deny the societal pressure.
yea some people were able to make it not affect them but we have more victims of society pressure.
Just imagine how he miss-used that money all because of pressure he was facing from the society
I.know a lady in her early 50 who chooses not to marry , but i.libe the way she didn't allow society define her happiness
She bodly lives her life like is no man bussiness ..obviously , she prioritize self love over what society has to say
We need people to have more confidence like her. The moment we stop caring much about what others think about us and prioritize ourselves, the happier we will be.
Societal Standard will just end up pressuring people and leading to self doubts.
People should live their life freely, there's no rule in life , we all have different directions.
Thanks for sharing.
