When I make big decisions in life I tell NO ONE until the decision is made and actions take place. If I first shared with others they might influence me, which might prevent me from doing what I need to do. So I do first and share the results later. When decisions are already made, others can't influence me.

I think getting influenced by others might come from certain type of upbringing. But regardless of where it comes from, my coping strategy is making decisions without consulting with others ( I don't mean not consulting professionals like doctors or my accountant, I mean friends and family)
