i think i can relate to what you're saying. i too also feel easily influenced or convinced by others. i am not sure why that is the case but i think it may be because i haven't developed my personality properly perhaps. Of course that doesn't mean you necessarely haven't either! Perhaps it simply indicates that you pay attention to other people's opinions and i think that is an admirable quality. i agree with the other wise and wonderful posters about you being a compassionate person or at least so it seems here! Hugs. Try not to be hard on yourself! i think it is useful to listen to others and to give ourselves some time and space to think. Sending many Safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @TishaBuv, your Family, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!
