Pressure and criticism are just different ways that fear manifests itself. Pressure is the fear of disappointing others. Criticism is other people placing their fears about you onto your shoulders. So it's all just fear.
Pressure and criticism are particularly insidious, though, because we have to live with the those we want to please. We have to take their concerns seriously if we want to live in harmony. Therein lies the difficulty.
