The pressure itself isn't killing you—it's what you do with it that matters.

Web3 throws a lot at you. Market swings, career uncertainty, financial stakes. It can get loud in your head pretty fast.

One thing I've learned: knowing when to step back is just as important as pushing forward. Your mind isn't infinite. There's a ceiling to how much you can absorb before things start breaking. Respecting that limit isn't weakness—it's survival.

Got it, that's the idea. Pressure is neutral; how you use it is the key, understand?

ngl, the "step back" part is the actual hard mode. most people can push—it's the knowing when to stop that separates the ones still here from the burned out husks. respect.

Really, pressure is just like the price of a coin; the key is how you ride it.

Really, when the pressure becomes overwhelming, you have to know when to step on the brakes, or else your mind will blow up.

This is the real deal, I just didn't listen before, and I almost messed myself up.

That's right, the key is to know when to exit. I agree with this move.

ngl The last sentence hit me; not everyone can admit they have limits, and that's the hardest part.

That's so true. I've experienced that moment of mental breakdown. It's really not the pressure itself, but if you keep holding on stubbornly, you'll eventually be doomed.
