How to stop being easily influenced by others to do things you wouldn’t normally do?

[NightHawkBuzz]

I would like to know how I can stop being easily influenced by others to act and do things that I wouldn’t normally do. I am a person that becomes easily influenced by others and they affect me into doing things that I otherwise wouldn’t do.

I have gotten around people who have influenced me into doing things that I wouldn’t have done myself. I have gotten myself in environments that were extremely toxic and they negatively influenced me into doing things I wouldn’t do.

I would like to know how I can stick to my morals and beliefs and not be influenced to do things that go against them.

Do you feel like they're forcing you?

Contemplate aloneness and really being okay with aloneness. Prioritize your growth. Those two things combined should make it alot easier to say no to things against your values or wasting your time.

Get a new crowd! Its tough. Something I'm currently working on and it feels great to have a good group of people. 

Something I've heard before: "If you hang out in the barber shop long enough you will eventually get a haircut."

If you want to stop certain behaviors you have to stay away from those behaving that same way. Friends can get you stuck for sure.
