It's basically come of it's own accord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targarien21 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 As I noticed from my own experience, there will be always people who will be against your decisions It's just because you're not an ideal for everyone, and every person has his own tastes and opinions so the misunderstandings appear so often If you really feel that it was a right decision for you and your life became better after it, them don't mind about what others think and say. I remember one simple situation from life in this case... I wanted to change my hair colour into smth unusual like here and almost all my friends recommended me not to do this But I did and the result was amazing, besides I was very satisfied with my appearance Anyway it's your life and you don't need to live how others think Of course it's important to hear the others opinions and recommendations but the final word is always yours And nobody can understand yourself as you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhangel Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Have you considered looking at it from the other perspective - that maybe your friend feels like your instant rejection of the work which he does is you passing judgement on him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theda Baratheon Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I really REALLY REALLY need to break out of the habit of living my life for my parents and not for myself because they're never going to like a lot of my decisions but fuck it I'm grown ass woman now and I should start acting like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I'm a big fan of receiving and giving feedback (even unsolicited), at least from people I know. If people don't like my decisions, I'm interested to know why, as it could be persuasive or informative. But I don't necessarily need them to approve.

Angalin Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Seems that I have family members who don't like my choice of location for job hunting, to the point where they have talked about having my children stay with them unless I look for work somewhere they approve of.* They haven't said that to me directly, perhaps because some deep sense of self-preservation prevents them from doing so. *apparently war zones are okay but western Europe is not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elder Sister Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 If I had personally vouched for a friend and helped them get a job where I work, only to have them quit after a day, I would be ticked. Regarding the OP's question about people and their disapproval of my life decisions, I tend to look at the individual who is offering the opinion- family usually comes from a place of being concerned about my well being. My parents worry about me because they're my parents. I appreciate them, but I don't want to make decisions based on fear. And I'm long past the point of needing their permission or approval. My daughter falls into the same category. The rest of the world, I don't really pay much attention to, honestly. As long as I'm not hurting anyone and I have a clean conscience, I don't really think what I do is anyone's business but mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Anti-Targ Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 If the decision doesn't negatively affect someone else then I don't see why you should explain yourself any more than you already have. Your friend who works at the call centre may be feeling negatively affected, since he put in a good word for you, and you quit within a few days. This will probably mean he's not up for employee of the month. If you value him as a friend you might want to acknowledge that possible impact on him. But it's no reason to stay in the job or to offer a greater explanation of your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
