Is it normal refusing to do things just because you were told to do them?

So, what is it about all those people that do these things? What's the big deal about not wanting being told what to do? Even when it is something that the person would do without problem!

Even adults (even my parents!) do this thing where they don't want to do something, just because someone ask them to do it. And the more someone insists, the less they want to comply.

So... is that normal?

    Its normal but it shouldn't be. Some people need to swallow their pride. If I am at work or when I was young with my parents I didn't mind being told what to do as long as they talked to me respectfully. If I was already doing it or already did it I would get a little annoyed but I would just tell them and thats the end of it. The only time I really hated being told what to do is when it was from girls trying to bully me or when it was from very disrespectful adults who felt like becuz I was younger then them they could treat me any ol' way. If your going to tell me to do something at least be nice about it.

    I told my friend to stop doing weed... she did the opposite and went ham.

    Long story short, she's an idiot.

    But to answer your question, if someone tells me to do something that I know is harmful to me or someone, then I will rationalize and try make a decision.

    Doing something out of spite is thinking with emotions a little too much. :( Sometimes you don't have good outcomes. I know I used to hate being told what to do by my peers, but I've learned to take constructive criticism.

    I hate it when my parents yell at me to do something, when I was already going to do it, then I just don't do it at all.

    Totally normal, especially if the person trying to give the orders is nagging. No one likes a nag!
