I have noticed that some people close to me, strive to be accepted and always want the opinion of the other person to be positive or agree with what they say or think. But no one could live off the approval of others, since it would be impossible to please everyone because each person thinks differently.
This need arises from a very early age, when we are young we need the approval of our parents to know what is right or wrong, and thus know how we should behave. The opinions of people close to us serve as a guide. However, as we grow we form our own beliefs, personality and self-esteem...
Many times when we have to make an important decision, asking the opinion of people close to us, it can show us more options that we could not see. In the end, the decision will be made based on your tastes or preferences, but taking other opinions into account is fine.
The truth is that when it becomes a recurring need it hurts you, it is when our behavior and decisions are changed by the opinions of others, and we would not be being ourselves for fear of not being approved.
Don't let the noise of other people's opinions drown out your inner voice - Steve Jobs
This phrase has a lot to do with the subject and it means that we should not silence our opinions and thoughts. I advise you to be yourself without seeking that approval and without worrying about external opinion, as everyone has strengths and weaknesses so do not try to please everyone as it would be impossible.
So so amazing this really made my day.
