Sometimes you need to be secure enough to take feedback:

I'm probably not the only 1 who's noticed several questions where the Asker is actually hedging at their preferred conclusion or arguing against well-meaning/logical advice instead of looking for candid feedback. If you've come to G@G asking for another perspective then you already know that you might be too bias to make a rational judgment.

Accepting that you may not know best is a good thing, it means that you are willing and able to learn.

Why I think that some G@G users need to give themselves a bit more credit.

If you really love yourself then don't stress a stranger's 2 cents:

I've seen so many situations where a person will post a "how do I look" or a Question that is clearly a ploy for validation and then when they get feedback that doesn't line up w/ what they assume they deserve, they're all types of bitter.

If you think that you're flawless then why does it matter what anyone else thinks? You either love yourself or you want everyone else to love you, there is no mixture of the 2 and if you fall into the latter category then you need to look within and become a person that you yourself can respect.

Take some initiative and don't be afraid to pave your own path:

I've noticed that some people come to G@G asking for advice on things that are somewhat personal and that should not be decided by a group of strangers. A few examples include "vote which tattoo I should get" or "post a picture of a tattoo you think I should get" or "Should I end my several years long relationship because my S/O said 1 thing that hurt my feelings and he doesn't even realize because I haven't told him?" etc.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't try to get some perspective by asking for a 2nd,3rd or 4th opinion but there are just certain things in life that you need to take into your own hands. Don't let a horde of strangers decide what you carve into your flesh, don't let a hoard of strangers gas you up to the point where you're willing to throw away a good situation because YOU YOURSELF are unwilling to communicate with someone who truly loves you, and overall trust your own judgment. If you are unhappy then take strides to maintain a healthy emotional, mental, physical state.

Overall just treat yourself like a rational, respectable, individual. If you act sensitive, indecisive, and irrational then it gives people the grounds to treat you as such. Give yourself some credit and the people that matter will follow suit and treat you with the respect that you strive for.
