Whose opinion matters most to you?
40 RESPONSES // asked by jackisadullboy - around 4 weeks ago
I was cleaning the tub today, and I just started to think about my personal work ethic. My dad was the one who stressed to me how I was suppose to properly clean, and he has taught me tons of other stuff. If I do anything wrong, I think of how he would react to my situation first. I know there are people whose parent's opinions they hold highly, but that's not the case for everyone. So what about you fellow Soul Pancakers?

the opinion of my friends is about other things like the faith,
my moms opinion is more on the material side of life .
but i always try to complement my opinions with theirs
and by the investigation of truth and looking from different opinions
i will find the right way.
hope this makes any sense .

My best friend's opinion is probably most important to me. She's my family and the one person that has always been there for me.

My parents opinion matters a lot to me. I don't want to disappoint anyone so I often try to do my best in everything I do.

I don't really care about others opinions of me, at least that what I want others to think of me. I use outside opinions and a well critique of myself as a balancing scale to determine my behavior and self presentation. Maybe not on a level I would personally be satisfied with, but over all just as a survey. I try not to let those things effect me, I mean, I do wear sweats to school, I hardly ever do my hair(unless its a bundle of hair resting in a messy bun) and I speak freely and passionately about anything and everything. True, some times it gets me in trouble, some times I get dirty looks, and some times I get a positive response from someone. I'm pretty neutral, I want to be and come off as respectful and neutral to others, but not in a way where I try to please them. It's complicated; we all care what others thing of us, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. There is one, although not to my chagrin, I especially care for. I want my best friend/husband/partner in crime to see me in a good light, always! So I love and respect him as much as I can, but that's usually how I show my love. So all in all, I care what people think of me but on different levels according to that person.

My opinion . I don't really care about other people's opinions ... much. It's really not a clear sight, though. It doesn't matter whose opinion we care, the important thing is how we interpret those opinions. It's like looking through a filter. What I'm actually trying to say is in the end it's your opinion that makes you act in a certain way it doesn't matter what influences it.

I know that my boyfriends opinion matters most to me. He is the only person that I care about and that his opinion is the only one that I care about!!! I don't listen to anyone else but him.

The opinions that have never mattered to me are those of small/close minded individuals :/
if they only knew what they were missing

My own. After all, any decisions I make in life, I'm the one that has to live with it! But it really does depend on the circumstance. I am a good listener and do trust and value the opinions of a few of my closest friends, my mom, step dad and brother, but I don't reach out to all of them necessarily. If I feel I need an opinion, I'll reach out to the person who I respect and believe has good insight on that specific matter. Most of the time, I know I need to trust myself and my own instincts. I was born to follow my heart!

My own opinion is what guides me. My mother's opinion on a lot of things impacts my decisions. Sometimes I think about what certain people in my life would think about a particular action, statement, outfit, purchase, but in the end I do what I do. Above all, if I knew that I had disappointed my father, that would be the most devastating as he is my true hero.

My sister. Though I think ultimately, my own.. but she has influence.

It's weird. When my parents like something, I always start to doubt it. o.O
