In life, there are always two sides to everything. No matter how good something is, there will always be a side effect, especially when it is abused. The same principle applies to bad things as well.
The subject of peer pressure is one that, when mentioned, immediately brings the negative effects to mind. This is because the negativity attached to it has overshadowed its positive effects. However, in this content, I will show you how aligning with peer pressure has helped me break through certain limitations I never thought I could overcome.
Taking my blogging journey as an example, I never imagined that I would ever be writing on this blockchain, let alone becoming a consistent member who writes daily. Before I joined this platform, I had friends who were making waves here but kept emphasizing the truth about this platform, which was that it was more difficult than the one we were previously blogging on. In the long run, the site we were using stopped paying, and 70% of the guys moved over to this platform.
I was the type of person who was afraid and skeptical about trying things I believed I couldn't do. I shut down and turned a blind eye to everything happening in the WhatsApp group we were in. However, despite my efforts to ignore it, I couldn’t completely shut it out because there was too much noise and hype about the platform. People were sharing their earnings. The pressure became unbearable. Even though I believed I couldn’t do it, I couldn’t resist the tempting discussions surrounding it.
When I couldn’t bear it any longer, I gave in and created my account. I remember struggling to set up my account due to IP issues (this issue is common with Ecency) and how I made my first Hive purchase from Binance, which I used to power up my account. I know I’m not big yet on this platform, but each time I reflect on where I started, I’m always grateful that I allowed myself to be pushed and pressured into taking that step. Now, writing here feels as simple as anything, and I often encourage those who want to give up on writing here to keep going.
My little story may not seem like a significant example of peer pressure compared to the way its negative side often manifests, but I know what I felt. I remember how many times I wrestled with my thoughts before taking a step to join this platform. I remember how many times I considered the possibility of being laughed at because of my poor grammar and how my articles might be muted. With all these fears, I initially decided never to come here. However, the more I kept hearing about the platform and seeing screenshots of people’s earnings, the more intense the pressure became.
This story is just one of the many positive sides of peer pressure that I have experienced in my life.
Thanks for reading.

Peer pressure can bring about negative effects as well as positive impacts into the reality of life. We know so many things while being with our mates. No one can hide this fact.
Yeah, this is a true fact ✌️
