Do you have the habit of believing something, if people say it over and over?

[Extraterrestrial1999]

I think a number of people will believe it, if it's negative, but not if it's positive. For example, if people kept saying unsolicited that they think you are cute, charismatic, cool, etc, people would overlook that, but if some people said they think you were soft, boring, annoying, etc people would go thinking, am I unlikable or something, when that's just their opinion.

Yeah, if enough people say it, I'll believe it

Yeah, I tend to believe it, if it's negative

No, I don't let others influence my opinions at all

It really depends on the people saying it

[strateguy632]

that is exactly why news companies do that, pushing the sheep-ple!

the third repeat alarms ring! it must be false or wouldn't need repeating. whether a compliment from same person. "nice haircut 3 times" to information.

similarly on internet results by the 4th agree to same side, i am forced to assume the opposite of whatever the search engine was programmed to make me think was concensus.

but if compliments repeated from different people, that isn't twice! that is real agreement

Everyone gets influenced by others opinions regardless of what they say. It is how things change in society over time. People these days are fooled into believing all sorts.

[DizzyDesii]

I’d believe it more depending on the person rather than how many times a person says it

[Extraterrestrial1999]

What about if different people are saying it?

[handsomelad70]

No, because in addition to my boyish good looks, I boast a 160+ IQ. As Ronnie Ray-Guns said in his dealings with the Soviet Union,"Trust but verify," so I try to responsibly source most things I see or hear.

[DizzyDesii]

Hmm not sure

[NathanDavis]

no...

critical thinking was a thing... when I was in school

[Dongie]

Nah, that's from the Nazi, and current democrat playbook.

[laly520]

nope

they can't influence my opinions
