You don't have to.

Anything really. No matter what your friends say, what your family says, you're not obligated to live your life in a way which is not comfortable for you. Or put yourself into situations you dislike just to please other's expectations.

Do it your way. Do your best to be a good person of course (according to whichever moral standard you hold). But do it your way.

Nice perspective man. It really gives you time to breath.
