someone else's opinion [Theme]



We are so dependent on the opinions of others that we allow the crowd to be the judge and arbiter of our behavior; we sacrifice anything to be considered “the same as everyone else.” We strive for universal recognition as a reward, we are afraid to be different from others, because this causes a reaction from society: distrust, rejection, suspicion. As a result, we inevitably become part of the homogeneous mass, and this gives us self-confidence and a feeling of acceptance and love, but at the same time we are oppressed by a feeling of loneliness, internal anxiety and lack of personal identity.

Don't try to artificially cheer yourself up when you're sad. Will not help. You will only begin to blame yourself for not getting as good as it should be. Try something else instead. Accept your feelings. Bitterness. Fear. Sadness. Just acknowledge your right to feel that way. And stop worrying about other people's opinions. Stop caring about whether someone approves of you or not. People, even those closest to you, will not live your life for you. And they can't feel for you either.

It is always difficult to question their own desires and beliefs, especially at the right time, but good someone else's opinion may be useful. We involuntarily expect from friends and colleagues evaluation of our decisions and therefore the quality and content of the expected estimations is important. The need reasonably to gossip is a powerful stimulus for serious self-criticism, even more powerful than this for your New year promises to make more informed decisions at work and at home.

Sad were our meetings:
His smile, wonderful view,
His stinging speech
They poured into the soul frigid poison.
Inexhaustible slander
He tempted Providence;
He called a beautiful dream;
He despised the inspiration;
Neither did he believe love and freedom;
To life mockingly looked -
And nothing in all of nature
Bless he didn't want.
