The Pressure to Over Achieve in Life

I feel like i kind of fall in the middle where i've never been like a super, super, super highly achieving person. Yet i still feel this intense pressure to constantly be doing more, even when i mentally cannot do it. I was talking to my dad about whether or not there's more pressure on kids now, or if it's kind ofe always been the same. He said that as much as there was a pressure when he was a tenager to succeed, it wasn't remotely as intense as it is to day.
