Do People’s Behaviors Really Affect Us?
In today’s world, people’s behavior does affect us in one way or another. Sometimes you just want to stay true to yourself from the beginning, but you can’t deny that others leave an influence, whether good or bad. It just happens. The important part is what you choose to take in and what you leave out, because staying true to yourself is always in your control.
Take an example of a corporate job or any other workplace. You spend most of your week with people around you:
-
Some are your close friends,
-
Some you don’t really like,
-
And some you just know exist but don’t interact much with.
But still, all of them influence you in some way their habits, the way they talk, their culture, or how they react to situations. And at the end of the day, you sometimes find yourself blaming them if something goes wrong. But when you do something good, you quickly take the credit. This is where we often make mistakes by not accepting our own flaws and always trying to prove we are the best. That attitude slowly turns into negativity.
In my own life, I’ve met many people who influenced me in different ways. What I’ve learned is that it’s up to me to decide what I want to adopt and what I don’t. This creates a boundary, a clear line where I don’t cross into someone else’s space, and I don’t let them cross mine.
At the end, people will always influence you, but the choice to stay true to yourself will always be yours.
