How do you manage pressure from family members to marry?

I come from a society where family members have a enormous influence on a person's life. It is so much that your family members would be putting pressure on you at a certain age to get married. I am practically avoiding my mom because I can't stand her sermons on me getting married.

Have you ever been put under pressure to marry? If you have, how do you handle such pressure?

Are you a people-pleaser?

I used to always want to please others, especially when I was younger. I felt like I had to make everyone happy, but as I grew older, I realized that this method was unhealthy. Trying to please everyone can lead to burnout, damage to self-esteem, and inauthenticity. Now, I understand that it is totally okay if not everyone likes me, and it is essential to prioritize my own well-being over others' opinions or views.
