Upvote for meetups!

1) Job searching. It forces you to really size yourself up and compare yourself to everyone around you.

2) I really like your example. My own: feeling pressured to hang out with certain friends (because they'll feel neglected). Rather than realize that friends that guilt you into seeing them need to be see LESS, my brain just makes me feel bad.
