So, as far as I know, there are people in this community who are high-performing, high-achieving, and in general successful—people who deal with a lot of pressure and still push through and make things happen. That’s kind of who I’m trying to reach with this thread. I know most people here aren’t even employed, but I really wanna ask: how do you do it? What helps you cope?
For me, the second I feel even a little bit of pressure—like “niko you have to do this, or something bad is gonna happen”—I completely fall apart. If life isn’t just constant fun and partying, I can’t get anything done. But if the vibe is more like, “Hey, let’s try to do this. If we do it, cool; if not, no big deal. let's go out and drink anyway whatever we ball” that’s when I get the most done.
Is anyone else like that? I feel like when there’s no pressure and it’s chill, I perform at my best. I really wanna figure out how to handle pressure better and still get stuff done when life isn’t all fun, Because at some point i think that i should be able to handle more pressure

I think you are just too used to running away from situations and not having any sort of structure or discipline. There is no amount of confidence exuding from what you wrote so thats probably where it stems from, but the thing about handling pressure is that you can learn it by putting yourself through those situations, so you can build that trust within yourself and in turn having real confidence to deal with even more pressure. Its a bar you need to keep raising little by little.
