I am wondering if other people also struggle with being influenced by others. Is it trying to fit in? Is it easier to abdicate our decision to someone else? Do you get upset when you realize that someone has been influencing you in some area of your life (ie: work related decisions, doll choices, books to read etc...).
For example: After this terrible friendship ended with the person who actually got me into BJD's (ball jointed dolls). I found that one of my characters had been completely changed by her. That she had completely influenced:unsure: without me realizing it into someone I didn't like or know. So I find myself very upset, angry that I allowed someone else to make decisions, push me into making decisions about things that I really didn't want to. I am not struggling to get this character back into what she was originally.
Thoughts anyone?
