Is it normal to be easily influenced

Is it normal that I am really easily influenced by other factors in life?

I come from a large family and If someone tells me something I tend to take it to heart and really think it over and over. But as of late everything has been impacting the way i live. It could be a minor comment from a friend, person on the bus, a documentary and/or film.

Is this because I have no moral core by which to live by yet cause I'm only a 20 yer old male? Or is this a personality type of issue? Or is it age ? HELP I don't want to listen to others anymore!!

Is It Normal?

  • Why are you here if you don't wanna listen to others influence? My suggestion though would be to go camping for a week by your self and two doses of shrooms and live by your new philosophy from them on.

  • Agreed. You are still figuring out where you 'fit'. I will say the best advice I can give you is to really listen to stories and advice from older people. Their wisdom and experiences can save you a lot of frustration in navigating the world. You won't have to make their same mistakes. I can't think of anything else that was more valuable to me at that age.

  • Sure it's normal. You should email me all your bank account info :) Kidding!

  • I think you're still trying to discover yourself. Once you find out who you are, you'll see things with such clarity; this question won't exist in your mind. ;)
