At a point in life, we have this feeling that we aren't up to standard at some certain things or been look down on by those around you especially your peers and you will feel bad or blame yourself or mostly your parent about it. There are times I blamed my parent back in the days when i was still in school especially primary school since I was still fragile and always wish to have lot of things but there is no money to afford them, this things most times are just toys, food and all, I happened to attend a private school then and how school life was then always bring in this pressure when you see your classmates from rich home bringing in lot of goodies from home or going to get lunch during break time while you just have to sit in class pretending to be reading just because you don't have any money on you, omo the pressure was real then.

As I grow older, it pressure keep rising and all I had to do was to withdraw myself from certain things, at least if I don't move with them, I won't be pressurized to be like them thereby doing more than myself, all I do is just admire from afar but don't let it get to me, I do my things my own way and I tried not to be visible or getting noticed, at some point I thought I had escaped been looking down on but it was a just a lie, it get really worse when I entered the university, I was literally doing 70% of things myself and I was earning a little from the work I was doing but I saved most of my earnings so as to sort my school fees and the little things I will need in school so I didn't have funds to get things like latest cloths, shoes and all so I do wear what I have at home to school, to me, cloth is cloth as long as I'm not going to school naked and I had this black one nation rubber shoe, come rain come shine that shoe was always available but if the sun is too much I do feel the heat but I don't mind, my friends noticed this shoe since I do wear it everyday, some complained behind my back though but there is nothing I can do.

I had to find a way of overcoming this pressure from this so called inferiority complex by first accepting who I'm and also overcome the fear of rejection, in this life no matter what we do or who we become, we can't give humans that satisfaction so the best thing to do is accept who you are and your situation. Stop comparing yourself to others, getting pressured can lead you into doing things you don't want to do. I had to set some realistic goals for myself, I figured out the main issue why people do look down on me which is lack of money majorly, so I set some goals and decide to work towards it, I first of all find a legal way to make money on a daily basis while setting my path of financial freedom then from there I started getting some things I know is useful for myself, I change my cloths, shoes and also foodstuff, all just to look good and with time I have this courage and forget or neglect anyone looking down on me because I didn't care anymore.

In life, you shouldn't give people the chance to pressurise you no matter the background you came from, you should learn to appreciate yourself in all situation, be grateful because some people will love to be in your position even if it is little.
