    I noticed that I'm easily adapting to other people's behaviors, I mean sayings, activities, etc. Like I have no personality traits on my own, so I'm copying others'. I had no father figure in the past so it may have had an effect on me.
    People say that who keeps company with wolves will learn to howl. But with me, it works like extraordinarily stronger.
    I'm wise enough that I recognize bad traits in people and tend to avoid contact with those. I'm trying to flock to "better quality people" but it's hard to find those for me.
    So, how can I have some stronger stance so I won't be vulnerable to other people's behaviors/suggestions?

    At first I guess you need to understand what axectly person you want to be. You can even wright it down on paper, think about characters from movies and films, what you like in them, what your goals. Without exect target you can't get stronger. Inner strench is very philosophical, my advice to follow exect patterns that you want to have. That's how I have done it. I was having similiar situation, no father since 6 years. If you will have this patterns to follow, that u are believe in, it's will be easier to not to follow other people.

    Hi there,
    I think a lot of people do this, I know I certainly used to and I think its linked to low self confidence. When you are nervous about 'being yourself' you tend to imitate people and things you feel are 'acceptable' or popular because you may feel your own version of 'you' isn't good enough. What you say about not having a father figure would make sense as you may not have had a male role model who you felt comfortable being yourself around. My advice would be to not worry too much about it but work at your self confidence (quitting porn really helps with this as I discovered on my longest streak) and you'll probably find your own personality comes through a good deal more.
    All the best brother and keep fighting

  4. Read the book No More Mr. Nice Guy. It will blow your mind and provide a plan to change your thinking process and behavior to break free.

    Thanks for replies.
    It is probably that I indeed have low self-confidence. Being "not good enough" is a bad feeling to have.
    Guess I have to focus on my goals and do something about myself. @Optimum Fortitude thanks for the recommendation, will check it out.

    Start doing shit that is hard. Lift heavy weights, run, learn a difficult skill, take cold showers, build something. Doing hard things will build your character.
