 I was listening to a relationship expert on a podcast the other day, and he was asked the question, if all your family and friends tell you that this person isn't right for you, should you listen to them? And he said 100% you should. That if those close to you don't think this person is right for you, then they are right. You should listen to them. And I'm like, what the hell? Are you serious? What if these people close to you have no understanding about relationships? What if they themselves are stuck? What if they themselves are advising you from their own stuckness, from their own flawed belief systems, from their own flawed attachment styles? What if these voices around you are not a good sounding board or mirror for you? What if these people around you who we are supposed to listen to about important things are not growing humans and have no clue who you are now, they're parked upon an old version of you, and they're an old version of them? Seriously? Because they're close to us? Does that mean they're right about what kind of job we should have or friends we should have or romantic partners we should have? Or how we handle money or whatever? A better answer would have been from this guy, where it depends who these people are that are close to you. It depends how conscious they are. It depends how much work they have done. It depends whether or not their counsel to you has proven in the past to be wise and timely and trustworthy and uncontaminated with their own agendas. Then listen to those voices. But he didn't say that. It's a few more seconds to say that. But instead it was like, yes, definitely, you know, if those close to you think you're wrong, you're wrong. No, that's bullshit. Oh, Lord. And again, I want to say these people who want our time and attention by being on podcasts and writing books and so on, please, please give all this stuff some more thought and don't answer lazily. Yes, if they're saying that they must be right, no, stop and think about that answer and give us a few more lines that make us all feel yeah, you understand it's not as simple as that and we kind of feel seen and feel you in our shoes and that you've thought it through a lot more than others have. Hope that helps.
