Meeting social expectations is a huge pressure. Following the social norms and fulfilling what the society asks for is not always easy. And when we need to consider our own desires for it, it's harder. That's when the war begins with our self-esteem. We lose our confidence when we fail to meet social expectations. Thinking we are good for nothing is also not very uncommon. 
 
The need for Social acknowledgment makes us too worried about our actions. And when we fail to it or don't do well, we become insecure, less confident, frustrated and emotionally alone. It makes us leave our personal expectations and begins a clash with thyself. Most of our anxiety, depression, stress and other mental health issues comes from social expectation. 
 
But there are some ways to make ourselves confident about ourselves and improve our self-esteem. And the most proven thing is following our dream and not judging thyself as per the society thing. Also, putting our personal beliefs while taking opinions is helps a lot. 
 
Remember, there will be no one to help you if you leave yourself for society. I know it's hard to walk opposite to the society. But decide when you need to follow the social rules and when not. Decide wisely. Be with you and follow your desires, no what society pushes you to do!
