Life has different ways and different path for everyone and as a result pressure arises when your peers succeed and you do not making you look like you did not try hard enough.
The issue of being pressured into getting married is a very wrong motive and as you said if you fail to meet the expectations of the marriage and others around you they will still be the first to criticise and look down on you
So I think being composed and allowing yourself not to be pressured into doing anything is the best decision one can ever make
