Dude, I understand exactly what you are talking about. Sadly, our society ONLY works that way. Way out would require a great deal of sacrifice on your part, you'll have to say ADIOS to everyone you love, not contact them till you find out what you want out of life. Else, you'll be constantly and consistently blackmailed into settling for "next best thing". My advice, don't settle. Don't make such a big deal out of this pressure, speak to your parents when they give you examples for Dave, Suzie & Joe from the neighborhood --- tell them that you want something else!
Life shouldn't be about settling, no matter what!
Khair...thanks ! I think I'll stop embarrassing myself further with these sorry-arsed pitiful posts & just bow out ! Take Care...everyone !
But in your case, it sounds more like internal happiness you require than "something to show".
That is the only kind worth having ! That 'something to show' bit is something that I despise with such intensity that I'm practically a pariah amongst both my friends & my family !
