Do You Give Too Much Importance To The Opinions Of Others?

If you give more importance to what other people think than your own opinion, you will leave your happiness in their hands and empower them to decide your well-being.

Do the opinions of others affect you? Until what point ? Always wanting to please others or making decisions to gain their approval can override you and even end your happiness.

You will enter a cycle of sadness and desolation, because others have very different opinions. Sometimes you will feel lost. Who should you listen to?

The good news is, you can make a difference. Sometimes certain things you do subconsciously betray your worrying about what others are thinking. It is thus necessary not to give too much importance to the opinions of others.

Stop looking at yourself in other people’s eyes

Letting yourself be judged through the eyes of others shows how much of a self-esteem problem you have.

If you are told today that you are charming, then you will feel that way; however, if tomorrow you are told otherwise, you will believe it and see yourself that way.

It prevents you from seeing yourself as you are. You will give too much importance to how others perceive you and you will worry about your appearance.

Start looking at yourself in the mirror and taking your own opinion into account, while leaving those of others in the background.

Your point of view should always be in the foreground, because it is the most important.

You don’t have to be a perfect person

When you worry about what other people think of you, you start to develop different habits to make you look perfect.

All of this, of course, is impossible and will harm you immensely.

You will start to apologize when you are not guilty of anything, because you will take on responsibilities for yourself that are not yours.

Your obsession with being the perfect person will lead you to feel guilty about almost anything because, of course, you won’t tolerate a single mistake.

You will change your intentions to please others only.

For example, if one day you are at home and you don’t feel like going out, but your friends ask you to, then you will force yourself to do it to please them and not have to make up an excuse.

Saying “I don’t want to” is not a solution, because remember, above all, you want to be a perfect person. Therefore, you will always put others first and do the things you don’t want to do.

Above all, you suffer from a lot of ongoing stress as you try to please everyone around you and whenever it seems like you don’t like someone it causes you a lot of anxiety.

You don’t have to be perfect, you can’t claim to please everyone. It is a big mistake not to do what you want under the pretext of pleasing others. Again, don’t always listen to the opinions of others.

Start thinking more about yourself, do what you really feel. You lose nothing by trying this new way of doing things.

Start making safe decisions without the opinions of others

All of the above makes you feel terrible insecure about all the decisions you have to make.

These decisions don’t have to be very important. You will have doubts about the smallest and simplest things.

Why is this happening to you? Because you’ve always given more importance to what other people think, you wait and see how they react to the decision you make.

You fear that they will not approve of what you have chosen and that you will have to change their opinion. However, you have to think that what you decide is for you and not for others.

So don’t hesitate to focus more on yourself. Many successful people did not have the support of those around them at the time and ultimately saw that the decision they had made was the best possible.

You will find that what other people think is not that important: your opinion is much more important than you think.

Conclusions on the importance of the opinions of others

Prioritize yourself, and stop putting others first, so your decisions don’t depend on the faces others throw at you.

You are responsible for your own life which is only yours, in the end the path you follow is only yours and your feet guide you. This is why we should not rely on the opinions of others.

Don’t give importance to what other people think. Do it the other way around, give yourself more importance.
