You want other to explain theirs for clarity.
You are ok with other thinking differently.

Everyone stuck on the same page.
How to reduce the influence of others
Know your own thoughts and feelings. … (Be A Man or Woman) Open your damn mouth for yourself
Say NO
It stops so much bs
Don't excuse or justify. …(They are old, They earned the right, They raised me, They are in Charge)
Choose your peers wisely…
People can unconsciously influence you just by being associated or around them all the time.
Call them out
Sometimes you just have to make some people aware that their opinion is theirs, and you don’t have to go along with it just because they feel that way.

Be fine with who you are. Learn to embrace your individuality and thinking.
