    There’s a balance that most struggle to achieve.

    You can’t let every person’s opinion sway you.

    Equally you can’t shut yourself off from all feedback from others.

      i remember that one quote from aritstotle or whoever it was that went along the lines of

      “Confidence in yourself is good ONLY in balance. Disregarding all ofnyour own opinions means youll live life without a backbome an according to what others tell you all the time. BUT overconfidence will lead you yo being destroyed early in life in a fist fight with a bigger person.”

      Humans are social creatures ya so regarding the opinions, works, and feelings of others sometimes isnt a bad thing …but you dont have to regard the opinions of all other people at all times cause some people are closeted nazis and others are Dunning-Kruegered stupid and others are BOTH. And yet others are a healthy balance of confidence-and-humbleness, mixed in with intelligence-and-inquistivity
