The pressure of the air at sea level is not high enough for us to be crushed by it. I have put it In a scientific way so that if you have to write in full sentences and this pops up you already have the sentence.🥰🥰

There are a number of reasons we're not crushed by air pressure.
First, air pressure only begins to "crush" an object when pressure is higher on the outside of the object than on the inside (on the other hand, if air pressure is higher on the inside, you might say the object starts to push out and "explode", like you see with a balloon.) Our bodies maintain a pressure pretty close to that of the air outside.
Second, the amount of crushing force depends on the amount of pressure difference between the outside and inside, which we're built tough enough to handle. We actually breathe by alternating our body's air pressure to be higher and lower than that of the air outside by using our diaphragm, which causes air to rush in or out of our lungs to make up for the difference. If you want to feel how hard that difference actually "crushes" or "explodes" your body, try to breathe deeply while keeping your mouth and nose tightly shut (but don't hurt yourself).
Because our bodies exert counter pressure and prevents it from bursting.
Because the pressure inside your body is the same and cancels it out.
The entire human body, including all the bones, tubes, sacks, and fluids in it,
is constructed to develop an outward pressure that compensates for the
inward atmospheric pressure.
Which is one of the main reasons why you don't want to take off your space suit during
a space walk ... your body could possibly inflate to the point where it would be tough
for your buddies to squeeze you back inside through the port. (In addition to other
space discomforts, of course.)
because air pressure on earth is suitable to support life, while on a planet like venus the air pressure is high enough to crush you
Our bodies are accustomed to the air pressure at sea level, so we don't feel crushed by it. Additionally, the air pressure inside our bodies matches the external pressure, keeping us in equilibrium.
You are accomodated to it. Also, gas in your body cavities is at the same pressure as the atmoshpere.
air from the atmosphere exerts a force on us but we also have air inside our body that maintains a balance and prevents us from crushing.the air pressure in the body and outside it is equal
The air pressure does not crush the body because our body exerts a counter pressure which is equal to the air pressure.
We are not crushed by the weight of air because our bodies are designed to withstand the atmospheric pressure that surrounds us. Our internal pressure matches the external pressure, preventing us from being crushed. Additionally, the air exerts pressure in all directions, which helps balance out the force.
Air pressure is greatest at ground level because the weight of the air above compresses the air molecules closer together, creating higher pressure. As altitude increases, there is less air above, resulting in lower air pressure.
The pressure drops with altitude. More quickly at first, but more gradually the higher you go. If plotted on a graph, you would get a curve.
The air pressure at sea level is typically around 1013 millibars or 29.92 inches of mercury.
When air pressure acts equally on an object from all directions, it results in balanced forces that cancel each other out. This balanced pressure is what allows objects to maintain their shape and not be crushed by the surrounding air pressure.
