Pressure to be “Socially Perfect”:

Norm:

The expectation to constantly present a positive and flawless image, often through social media or other means.

Why break it:

This pressure can lead to feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and a disconnect from authentic self.

Example:

Sharing vulnerable or imperfect moments, rather than only showcasing a polished version of oneself.

Prioritizing External Validation:

Norm:

Seeking approval from others above all else.

Why break it:

This can lead to a dependence on external validation and a lack of self-confidence.

Example:

Making decisions based on your own values and beliefs, even if they differ from what others may expect.

That men should spend money to impress a date or an interest.

Like if some guy is prefect, except that he's poor, he's too often screwed... or if he doesn't want to wine and dine her, for nothing for a mutual date in a return that he's lesser.

I mean, I don't have that issue, but I've seen it too often... I don't have that issue because I sure as hell ain't prefect, and I got the cash, I'm just cheap as hell until I trust someone... I've been burned too much by people just wanting money.

Pressure to look and be similar, like so what if someone is a bit different...

Also not being willing to help someone, or taking offense to it when someone does offer help.

That men always want sex... I mean yeah, we always like the idea of it. But if some woman offers, and we just happen to not be in the mood, or have a serious interest elsewhere at the time, we should be able to politely decline without hurting someone feelings.

And women as well, some guys get butt hurt over it.

You know how somebody gets hurt and puts their arm around somebody else to help em walk...I don't think that's normal.

Smoking

Religion.

Being expected to be productive. Let me be lazy in peace. Geez.

Too much hugging these days.

UGH all of them tbh

Letting people guess the hidden meaning behind what you say instead of just saying what you mean.

People not looking where they are going because they are looking at their phone.

Monogamy. It's outdated and toxic af

[@sw-question] politically correctness

Pants.
I like a healthy breeze around my privates.

Incestphobia 🤷‍♀

People twisting what is said to fit their own narrative...

Hypocrisy in general
