When the friends of my friends look me after saying "we're done having kids, your our last hope for more"..... and this group of women I was socializing with at my nieces birthday party all stare at me. I made the mistake of standing next my friend near her mom friends, who noticed I was childless. all of my friends are married now and have kids. Or trying to have more lol.... I'm good. (Hears kid screaming for two hot wheels at the store because he wants more than one ).... Brandace is good. Brandace sees giant pregnant belly and cringes lol. I'm alright ....

This post is inspired by an article that I read in which a great number of young Chinese men confess that they experience great pressure trying to meet the social expectations of the characteristics of men : strength, assertiveness, leadership... In reality, every single person that I know has multidimensional characteristics. A man can have vulnerable moments as a women can be assertive in her choice. One can feel confident in the morning and suddenly have a breakdown at night. Why reduce them all to a few abstract words? (I’m also curious to know more about gender expectations in other cultures, feel free to leave a comment!) #genderexpectations #genderstereotypes #chinesemen #socialpressure #masculanity #vulnerabilityisstrength #男儿有泪不轻弹 #sliceoflife #tinyeyescomics https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0Iy07iWYS/?igshid=15iuk84lbgubt

How Much Does “Keeping Up” Really Cost You?

There’s the version of your social life you’d freely choose, and the version shaped by pressure.

The difference shows up in the birthday dinner you couldn’t afford, the hen‑weekend deposit you paid out of guilt, the outfit you bought so you wouldn’t feel underdressed, and the influencer‑driven purchases made for the aesthetic rather than the moment.

The Savzz Social Pressure Spending Calculator reveals the annual cost of that gap. It covers events, dating, group holidays, gifts, work socials, and social‑media‑influenced spending.

It also gives you a pressure score based on behavioural patterns, not clinical diagnosis.

We have this greedy nature that we think is just normal. We tend to want more than we actually need until it makes us unhappy.

When you want more than you need, you feel like it's a necessity and it messes with your head, ruins your own mental health. The more you have beyond what you need, the more extra energy you'll need to maintain it all.

Some people think "less is more" is good. But if "less is more" is good, how do you measure its moral value?

If that becomes the score for your social life and morality, doesn't your social level and hierarchy actually drop? Like you're downgrading your own life.

But why am I still thinking about what other people think of my life? Turns out I just moved from one kind of greed to another kind of greed.

Can't have it both ways, bro.

The Smile They Want

I copy their smile, fit it on like a mask too tight. They want happy? I’ll give them happy. It’s just that my happy is bruised beneath makeup, and shaped more like survival than joy.
