Talk about your view about pressure and why there is so much pressure in our life?

[RedRose]

what kind of pressure? about job? or relationship? or sex?

[ilovenuggets]

every aspect except sex:)

[RedRose]

Sometimes I would feel some pressure of work. I am very competitive at work. I always try to do better than my colleagues. I mean, I bring pressure to bear on myself. if I am not so competitive, I guess I even could live more easily. but in subconsciousness, I actually like pressure. because pressure always keep me busy and alive. and that's why I bring pressure to bear on myself.

But in China, many people feel pressures from living. you see, China has a huge population. so it is hard to find a good job. therefore, everyone feel some pressure from living. so do parents. and now I can understand, when I was a kid, my parents always warned me:"if you don't study hard, you will starve and you won't survive from the cruel society!" and that's the earlier pressure I felt, from my parents. later, pressures gradually came to me, from society, colleagues, boss...

Presure is an invisible thing under which we live, and we can't totally get rid of it until the end of life.

why do you say except sex? when you're going to have sex with someone you don't know for very long it can easily happen that you're under great pressure!

yeah, redrose, i do exactly know what you mean even in school it's fact that everyone tries to be better than the best in class.. but then, when you are, it's such a great feeling..

hmmm, referring to sex pressure, I guess men always feel more pressures than women do.

As a woman, I never feel any pressure from sex , rather, more happiness than pressures

Usually pressure is necessary. It encourage us to work, to study and to deal with all the problems in our life. If our life is very easy we will never make any progress. But somebody is afraid of pressure. They feel life under pressure is very hard. I think we should take the pressure as a challenge. When we defeat it we are the winner.

Pressure is generally bad. The art is to see the good points in your bad marks.
