Are you easily influenced?

Well, are you? I'm extremely vulnerable to people's opinions, thus making me easily influenced. I hated it, it's one of my main weakness, along with my histrionic personality disorder. I tend to get paranoid over what people's judgement/opinions that I don't agree with, and I often believe in anything people said, the cycle continues..

I like to think i'm not :)

But others may disagree :D

Not At All, i'm stubborn as hell, if i stick to an opinion of something i stick to it, like one of my female friends wanted me to go see Twighlight. she tried batting her lashes at me and it didn't work:P

Sometimes. I constantly have to remind myself not to take everything people say as fact, because in reality it's probably mostly all bull****. But I lack confidence and suffer from low-self esteem, and also try to keep my mind open to other possibilities so I humor everything to a fault. I'm not educated past highschool either (aside from a few college courses, which I've forgotten), so I think that has something to do with it as well.

Seeing how the world's most popular brand is apple, yeah, most people are easily influenced, they just dont know it.

Nope-- quite the opposite. My family members wouldn't hesitate to tell you how stubborn I am. I like to hear all sides of a story and I like to see evidence before deciding to say/do something.

yes, everyone is, it is a human trait

No. I'm pretty stubborn.

NO..growing up and even through my adult life Ive been around people doing drugs,alcohol,sleeping around,ect..I have yet to follow their lead. Going to be 40 soon and have never done a single drug, Ive only been with one woman,my wife of almost 19 years and plan to keep it this way. I dance to the beat of my own drum.

The first step is realising that you may be easily influenced. The second step is to rethink everything that has a meaning to you. And the third is to listen/learn about different views on the matter.

I think I'm not easly influenced anyway.

No, but there are some people who can make me understand their stances better than others.

Not at all. I usually am the one doing the influencing.

I see a huge difference between being easily influenced and easily distracted, which I am...

On the other hand, almost everyone I know calls me gullible :( it's a curse

I don't get easily influenced by other people's opinions in the sense that if the majority of people around me disagree with something I feel strongly about, I'll change my opinion to please them. However, I do suffer from low confidence and low self-esteem and it's rather hard for me to disregard something as an opinion rather than a fact. If somebody tells me that a band sucks, for example, I listen to the band and I can see why the person thinks they suck, and they ruin that impression of the band for me.

That's just my two cents.

I am very easily influenced, in fact, just few words can influence me greatly both in a good way or a bad way. I can rarely take a stance and be stubborn.

You are the last person that i can think of who can get easily influenced.

I don't care what people think of me and I am not going to go and do something just because someone pushes it on me.

Was until I went to jail. Decided from that moment forward, I would be a leader, not a follower when it came to my friends.

Jail? What did you do?

Yeah. It's probably a bad trait of mine, but I don't really mind it.

Not really. I have the tendency to questions things even if they come from people I get along with quite well.

I wouldn't think myself to be easily influenced. What with my ever learning studying Psychology and all, it gets harder to convince me of Sh%t without good reasoning.

EggVillain

That's it, I'm gonna study psychology.

I wasn't born to follow, or swallow anyones s***.

About some things I am, others not so much.

Considering this is Gamespot OT section, the answers should be 99.999% yes.

I kind of have the opposite problem

Nope.Unless you are my older brother.

just make every argument trivial and with me, i tend to bend to the whims of women in inconsequential matters. maybe subconsciously i hope to be treated in kind. might be why my relationships always last so damn long.surrealnumber5

every argument i make is de facto trivial and inconsequential, so i have that covered

i'm sorry about the unfavourable state of your relationships, you will have no such troubles with me i assure you (unless you wanna /shyyy)

not at all. i don't give a damn for what other people think about me
