Just thinking out loud! Are you easily influenced by friends, siblings, parents or do you have a mind of your own?
Well, as for me, I am not easily influenced especially by my friends. Yes, to my parents & siblings to an extent, but when it comes to others, I hardly bend my standards.
How about you? Are you easily influenced by others. If yes, why and how do you feel about it. And if no, why and how have they reacted to it?

@MashaVickina Yeah. Sometimes, it's okay to allow them have their way especially if it's not harmful. Just as a mother would bend few rules for her child, just to make him/her happy

@ammyluv No of course. Other people also influence me if it is in a good way, but not easily.

I think I was at one time but certainly not now. When I was in my late teens I was lead astray by a group of friends and even though I wasn't comfortable with some of the things I did I wanted to fit in. Now I'm my own person and would never be influenced by others unless it was for something good.

@ammyluv Well I think we can all be influenced by our friends when we are very young but most people realise at some point they shouldn't always follow the crowd.

Hi Amaka. Sometimes I am easily influenced by friends but this because they want to spend more time with us as we only get to see each other once in a while (or like once in 3-4 months). My parents do to as they get more impatient by the moment. But as long as I have the freedom and it coincides with their "good" influences, then no problem.

@ammyluv youre right about that but I have a few trusted and close friends. That is why when they make a request for bonding, I do not refuse them. Hihi

I'm a little bit stubborn and I don't think I'm easily influenced by others.I listen to other opinions but oftentimes I always follow my will.

@lnillerman Exactly. But that doesn't mean, there are no good ones. We can never stop trying at least

It depends on the type of relationship you have with someone.If the relationship is so strong,you allow them to influence you a little.Sometimes my principles does not favor my loved ones and that's when I bend them a little bit just to favor them because they are my loved ones.I care about them and I want them happy.Its not good to be hard on people just because you are principled.
