But if someone tries to get me to do something and impose what they want me to do that will specifically affect my future (since that's usually when people like to share their highly intelligent insight and advice with me), I'm going to go against that, even if it's something that harms me because I get into the mindset that I'm doing it to make them happy above what I want.
THIS. Exactly this. I have my mother constantly in my ear telling me that I need to pick a college degree or get a full-time job (even though the job I have is basically full-time, it's just not good enough for her). And whenever she does, my thought process is the same:
"I'm choosing the life for myself that I want, and while this will not fulfill me forever, I'm not going to make a change based on anyone else's pressure. I'm not even going to start thinking about my future while I still have to fight you just to be left alone, and every time you bring it up, it resets the clock."
However, when it comes to the little things, like making plans with my friends, I try to get them to make the decisions because I don't like being the one deciding and having the thought that I'd be the only one happy while everyone else is bored lol
