Many forces are pushing you to go at a faster pace than might be wise for you right now. Instead of pushing back and fighting these forces, step aside and let them zoom right by you. There's no reason for you to join the rat race right now. Bow out of other people's high-pressure plans with a good explanation, and be forthright about what you are and aren't willing to do. Don't worry. Your reputation will remain untarnished no matter what happens.
