I don't let people control my life by being afraid of how they will react.
I find that hard to believe, what type of peer pressure are you referring to?
So you don't date people that your family and friends will approve of? You didn't feel ushered into any specific career or life path?
It's not normal, but it sure would be interesting to see if people quit acting like sheep.
It is normal for a well-adjusted person to feel this way, though as you probably realize, many are pressured to do things they don't want to do.
It is good you do not let peer-pressure have a grip on you, and you are to be commended.
I also like the feeling of being independant from others but sometimes people act a certain way because that's how everyone else does, not because the specifically want to bother you. You know how trends work, people put pressure on each other to fit in so they can be cool. It's fine if you don't wanna do that. Just don't go too far such as not breathing because everyone else is.
