Responsibility is about morals.
There is no need to put too much pressure. There are two fundamental situations of pressure, when it is positively related to one’s interest, and when it’s unrelated to the interest.
For the former, when the pressure is positively related to one’s interest, there are also two situations. For one, the pressure doesn’t align with one’s inner passion. In this aspect, for some people, pressure will be transferred into motivation. However, according to social observation, if the pressure comes from outside expectations and one does it not out of their own interest, but rather as a responsibility, such pressure will soonly be a powerful motivation just for one particular aim. When the aim is achieved, everything is gone; what is left is their methodology learnt in the process, which is how to be excellent when doing something without interest. It can also be regarded as a success in living. Such a process is extremely draining for a person over time; the horrible result is that they have no idea what they are truly interested in.
For the other, the pressure is from something that truly aligns with one’s passion. Then, it’s not called pressure, it’s called excitement.
Under such circumstances, pressure is more generally from the outside, when there is something in conflict with one’s belief. Acknowledge the situation, try to take more time on it, and explain honestly why you need more time to think about it. Generally, everything is negotiable. Please keep in mind, don’t keep going on and give up your belief, if it’s just out of fear. Claim the fear, accept the pressure, be honest. The right opportunity won’t be stopped just because of this. When everything is aligned with your belief, even though it’s wrong, it can be revised. However, when there is a compromise on belief, when something goes wrong, the whole system will be abrupt, which is horrible.
Then, for the latter, when the pressure is unrelated to your interest. For example, it comes from the universal morals. Acknowledge your limitations on how much you can take. Don't take the responsibility that is out of your limitations. Everyone is independent and respectful. Everyone has different situations based on their own experience. If one takes the pressure that's out of your limitation, it’s called sacrifice.
Also, even though it’s no problem to escape from the pressure if out of one's capacity, if one blames others to transfer the responsibility that one should take, it’s immoral. Take responsibility and acknowledge self-limitation. It will be much better for everyone who is related.
