Do other peoples opinions matter?
We allow other people’s opinions to not only hurt us, but oftentimes, to define us. But it doesn’t matter what other people think of you. It doesn’t matter what other people say about you behind closed doors or even right in front of your face. Their opinions have no basis in defining what you’re all about.
Should we trust the opinion of others?
We definitely need to listen to opinions of people we trust. That’s what keeps us grounded and it, ultimately, a good indicator of whether we need to change something about ourselves. But too many opinions swirling around can be a lot, and just because one person thinks badly of you, doesn’t mean you’re a bad person.
How do you respond to an opinion?
We use these words and phrases to agree with someone else’s point of view:
- Of course.
- You’re absolutely right.
- Yes, I agree.
- I think so too.
- That’s a good point.
- Exactly.
- I don’t think so either.
- So do I.
Are other people’s opinions more important than your own?
Because when other people’s opinions are more important than your own you live life on their terms. Not yours. And yet, you’re the one who will be left with regret on your deathbed for not having lived a life truly authentic to who you are. They (and their opinions of you) will be long gone.
Do you let other people’s opinions affect you?
Like the herd of lions swooping in for the kill, they prey on the weak, looking for those they can taunt and torment. And it gets to us. We allow other people’s opinions to not only hurt us, but oftentimes, to define us. But it doesn’t matter what other people think of you.
How do you deal with other people’s negative opinions?
Other people’s negative opinions are likely reflecting their own limiting beliefs about life. Develop the skill to recognize and ignore these. You don’t have to disagree with them on the spot if it doesn’t feel comfortable just yet. But put the mental blinkers on, and try visualizing how you’d go about creating a different outcome next time.
Why shouldn’t you listen to other people’s opinion?
One reason why you absolutely shouldn’t listen to the opinion of other people is because you should trust your intuition. You should trust who you are and why you’re doing the things that you’re doing. The most successful people in the world were ridiculed and shamed the most times for their dreams.
