Why Society’s Standards Are Overrated and How to Escape Them

Society has a way of setting expectations that dictate how we should live—what to achieve, how to look, and even how to feel. From the perfect career to the ideal body image, these standards often leave us feeling inadequate or trapped. But here’s the truth: society’s standards are overrated. They’re not a blueprint for happiness but a recipe for frustration. It’s time to break free.

The Problem with Societal Standards

Unrealistic Expectations Society glorifies unattainable ideals, from airbrushed beauty to the relentless hustle for success. These standards are often unrealistic and ignore individuality. Not everyone wants the same career path, physique, or lifestyle.

Harm to Mental Health Trying to conform to societal norms can lead to stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. The pressure to meet these expectations fosters a cycle of comparison, making it harder to appreciate who you truly are.

The Illusion of Universality Societal standards assume a “one-size-fits-all” approach. They don’t account for cultural differences, personal values, or unique circumstances. What makes one person happy may be irrelevant—or even harmful—to another.

Consumerism and Exploitation Many societal standards are fueled by industries profiting from insecurities. The beauty, fitness, and even self-help industries thrive by convincing us we’re never enough.

How to Escape Society’s Standards

Escaping societal standards isn’t about rejecting society altogether—it’s about redefining your relationship with its expectations. Here’s how:

Identify Your Values

Take time to reflect on what truly matters to you. What brings you joy? What aligns with your beliefs and passions? Write these down and use them as a guide when making decisions.

Unplug from the Comparison Trap

Limit time on social media, where curated perfection reigns. Instead, seek out content that inspires authenticity and self-acceptance.

Redefine Success

Stop chasing society’s version of success (e.g., wealth, fame, or status). Create a personal definition of success that includes fulfillment, peace, and happiness.

Practice Self-Compassion

Give yourself permission to fail, to rest, and to grow at your own pace. Self-compassion is a powerful antidote to societal pressure.

Surround Yourself with Supportive People

Build a community of individuals who respect and encourage your choices, even if they differ from societal norms. Positive influences can help reinforce your path.

Set Boundaries

Learn to say “no” to expectations that don’t serve you. Whether it’s career advice, lifestyle choices, or family traditions, it’s okay to chart your own course.

Celebrate Your Authenticity

Embrace what makes you unique. Wear what you like, pursue what excites you, and let go of the fear of judgment.

The Rewards of Escaping Societal Standards

When you let go of societal expectations, you gain freedom—freedom to live authentically, to pursue what genuinely makes you happy, and to define your own worth. You’ll also find greater peace, as the constant comparison and pressure fade away.

Rejecting societal standards isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. Remember, life is too short to live by someone else’s rules. Dare to be yourself, choose happiness, and inspire others to do the same.

This poem is one I found hiding in my 2020 journal. I was 17 years old writing this. The world can be and is a scary place, especially more so if you are a woman. I had suffered with trying to fit into the unrealistic male gaze during my adolescence - not knowing these standards were ones inflicted upon me. It was only through education and reading that I could identify these stereotypes, standards, attempts of objectification and misogyny that I could safely move away from conforming to these ideals of not only what it means to be ‘beautiful’ but a ‘woman.’ Education is power and the fact that we have countries (like Afghanistan) where girls and women are losing the right to an education is heartbreaking, inhumane and a total loss of autonomy. It is the 21st century and we are still experiencing gender-based violence. It’s so important to speak-up and protect women: not only those you love but everyone.

I know this poem is quite short and only scratches the surface of a much deeper issue, but it’s definitely a starting point for having these types of conversations.

Thank you so much for reading and stay safe, everyone 🤍

A while ago, I came up with a new word that I'd like to share with you:

Affinitophile

Affinitophile (noun): A person who is only capable of falling in love with someone who already loves them deeply, extends unwavering devotion, and regards them with exceptional care. An affinitophile thrives on mutual affection and intense, meaningful bonding and cannot develop any romantic, amorous, or physical attraction for someone who does not already possess a profound love for them.

Etymology: Affinity: Derived from Latin "affinitas," meaning a natural liking, attraction, or inherent connection. -phile: From Greek "philos," meaning loving or having a strong affinity for.

With gratitude, acceptance, and appreciation , love yourself unconditionally. Be mindful of your tolerance levels, do not accept conditional love, and be brave to be vulnerable. Being mindful of your environments is paramount in any union as it enhances or degrades who we will become — who we decide to share our energy with will become a part of us. Attuning into your needs and respectfully the needs of others will enable you to see beyond with compassion and an authentic approach. Never adapt to societal pressures of the norm, relations that are forced will dissolve as they are not within the natural rhythm or flow. Only you know what is in alignment for your highest and greatest good. Be empathetic to all situations with the ability and fortitude to seek another perspective, seek to understand, and to embrace mindfulness. Choose your battles, never seek validation, seek inner peace and self regulation to heal deeper, to be aligned with your path. Keep evolving while you stand in your truth. Remember, divine sacred unions help us along our spiritual expansion to enable us to be open, vulnerable, compassionate, to anchor our light for not just ourselves but others as a beacon of unconditional love. True sovereignty and unity consciousness emerge as we stay grounded and centred in who we are. To stand in our power, to embrace clarity in our sight, and to be aligned with our true moral purpose is living fully in the present. When you embody who you truly are, you will receive love in abundance as the love you have for yourself will be mirrored by others. Encompass spiritual integrity, inner liberation, transformations, as you rise and evolve to new forms of love for yourself and others. All circumstances and experiences lead to inner awakenings, ascension, and inner growth which promotes a diverse mindset, rooting in your higher purpose, and the acceptance of interconnectivity as we are all one.

This might be a weird piece of advice, but instead of complimenting somebody (especially children) with an overarching, nonspecific compliment (like "smart" for example), it can be better to compliment somebody for their effort or for the work they have done.

I was always complimented as the "smart kid," and was always doted on for being "smart," but I found that it really stressed me out as a kid because being "smart" was a good thing, but I had no idea what they meant by it. I stressed out about it because it felt like, at any time, my status as The Smart Kid could - and would - be taken away at anybody's discretion. I wish my efforts in being a Smart Kid would have been highlighted, because maybe that would have made me feel less like my status mattered rather than my efforts.

Knowing My Worth

For a long time, I’ve known what I bring to the table in my relationships. I’ve always strived to be thoughtful, supportive, and consistent, whether it’s through small gestures of care or the grace I show during challenging moments. I know I’m the type of friend who listens deeply, communicates openly, and puts in the effort to nurture and grow connections.

Because of this, I hold myself to high standards, and I naturally expect the same from the people I let into my life. I don’t view these expectations as unreasonable, they’re a reflection of the value I place on healthy, balanced relationships. I’m not looking for perfection, but I am looking for reciprocity: mutual respect, effort, and a willingness to grow together.

Self-worth isn’t just about knowing what I deserve; it’s also about being able to identify when a relationship doesn’t align with my values. I’ve learned that it’s okay to ask for more when I’m bringing my best, and it’s okay to step away when I’m not getting what I need in return. It’s not about arrogance or being demanding; it’s about recognizing that my time, energy, and care are valuable, and they should be met with the same level of effort.

For me, self-worth is deeply tied to accountability. I’ve always believed that we’re responsible for the energy we bring to our relationships, and I hold myself accountable to be the kind of friends and people I’d want to have around me. That’s why I take time to reflect, choose my words thoughtfully, and prioritize fairness, even when it’s hard.

Ultimately, self-worth means knowing that I am enough as I am. It means standing firm in my values, even when it’s uncomfortable, and only welcoming relationships that respect those values into my life.
