How much do people's opinions affect your actions?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Everyone is lying . We are literally conditioned to care what others think. That's why everyone is so similar. You know I'm right. Everyone all of a sudden has it all figured out? bs. It's like when you ask guys their penis size and suddenly everyone has a 7 or above penis...  Most people make big life decisions based on what others think lol.  Why are you even on this site if people's opinion don't affect what you do or don't do lol. Why would you even wanna know some strangers opinion... Either way a bunch of liars.

Ha! That's a good meme.

I personally see it a few ways:

take no criticism from someone you wouldn't take advice from.

If they don't pay taxes, I don't care.

If they can't call me personally, or say it to me in person, then it's not a motivator or even on my radar.

For me it depends. If it's some stranger, chances are, not really. If it's my boss, then maybe, more likely. If it's my husband or someone I care about (child, parents, etc.), then yeah, of course, I would care more. It's a matter of if it will affect my private life more.

A compliment doesn't creep me out. In fact, I get flattered! But yeah, ulitmately it's my decision on what I do really.

The example you gave, the chick is weird and immature!

it depends on the person but i frefer the truth to lies because if you dont tell people the truth and there wrongs how are they suppose to right and fix there wrongs and mistakes the truth hurts but i beileve it must be told little lies are ok with silly things but serious things should always be told the truth about or how can u fix them

Guy13 · Answer

I would have not done that for these reasons. That creep will notice and being encouraged because you reacted in fear to his comment. It does just the opposite than you think. For the most part, people like that will come and go in life. If you acknowledge by reacting in the way you did then you encourage their behavior.

YOu should speak to a parent about it though so people know you have someone doing this. Be safe and exercise good judgment.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

In fairness, that girl looks really cute with short hair, so she had probably been thinking about chopping it off for a while. To answer your question though; I only let other people's thoughts influence my behavior to the extent that I'll take their suggestions under advisement, if what they're saying makes sense to me.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

A lot, but not in the stupid way that woman did.

People's opinions effecting laws are what effects my actions. For example, people's opinions make it so I can't have certain animals as pets in certain states, because in those states, they are illegal to possess.

collie22 · Answer

Let the opinions of others roll off you or unless its your teacher and you need a good grade or your parents cause we need them on our side oh and my brother cause he has my back. Or and a sister if you have one. Maybe someone I missed but other than those the rest can piss off

strlb · Answer

I enjoy hearing opposing views, not that I will agree but being open minded is key to learning others perspectives. In college I distinctly remember one course that my view would not change on the particular topic however, soon after I changed course, not just from the course and dialogue which helped but over time I had an opportunity to grow from that experience.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

If it is some random person, I could give a rat's behind.

If it were a family member or close personal friend, then I would consider their opinion.

PS - love how you dissed the creep. by the way hair looks good either way.

WanderingLoveWizard · Answer

I used to be ok with my body, but after the 986th person told me I was to skinny, I started to think I might be too skinny.
Turns out they were right!

Sometimes it's not an opinion, it's an observation

RavenQuill · Answer

I always respect people’s opinions of me, but only take them into account if they seem acknowledgable. Otherwise I’d just be hating all over myself.

The next day another creep said he likes short hair….  I try not to. I’m just me. Either someone will like me or they won’t. My days of wanting everyone to like me are over.

CreatingWonders · Answer

I will ask my friend for her opinion on something and if I don’t like what she has to say I just do what I want, if I like her opinion then I’ll take it.

It all depends on the opinion and the answer I am seeking.
