how do other people influence what we think is important?

Answer 1

cuz u care what others think...about You and what you do with your life. sometimes when others don't agree, they will shun you, or be "disappointed"... whether they are wrong or right it depends, but if u

1) put too much weight in what other people think, or
2) don't have a good head on ur shoulders

u can be in Deep trouble. u need to find a balance...between knowing what is inherently "good" and healthy for yourself and ur decision making, as well as trusting your friends' advice on things you may be blind to. once u have a good balance, u will be able to do ur best to succeed in a Positive way.

living in a society full of people and judgement is not "wrong"... it helps to keep us conscious of what we do, so we don't murder, kill, cheat, lie easily and never get caught. on the flip side, it stops us from doing things we may Want to do, etc etc. which is why that balance is so important: to be able to do what YOU think is right, and hopefully others also will think it is right. if not, trusted people can help you make better decisions. good luck to us all!
