You mentioned you're in India right? The expectations on Indian/Asian kids in general is pretty insane, I feel really bad. From my perspective, India seems to be in a stage of rapid modernization with things like feminism etc, and yet still holds onto the old style of things that are really negative, like the caste system and the pressure on men. Forgive me if my analysis is incorrect, I'm not Indian myself but I come from an ethnic background and believe me, the pressure is still there lmao. I just decided "Fuck it", fled home, and left it all the past. Though I know that's not an option for everyone.
Yes, this is not all limited to India and the subcontinent. Its all Tradition, my father has been treated by his father as per the general norm of his age and his father treated him as per the norm of his age and my father treats me as per today's norm.
