How then do I mange the expectation of people on me such that i don't get into depression when I'm unable to meet up with it.?
It's almost like everyone knows you're going to succeed but don't even care about what you're passing through while you're striving to make them proud.
One thing that you must do is just don't mind them, I know that's easy for me to say this but believe me, I've been in that situation and it really kills me whenever I think that I didn't accomplish yet all the things that people expect me to do. I overcome that situation when I started to set aside all the negative comments and pressure because I want to do things on my own timeline, not just because of others expectation. The more you pressure yourself, The more you didn't accomplish everything that you want to have.
