In childhood we listened to our parents, in adolescence we listen to friends, then to the first love and so on. It's okay to know the opinions of others, but you always need to think with your own head and do what you think is right! We live for ourselves and for our pleasure. We don't have to please anyone.
Why are we doing this? The answer is simple. We are afraid of being alone. Having said something unnecessary, we are afraid to lose authority among people, we are afraid to be left alone.
I'm also afraid of loneliness, but I've learned to be a person. I'm not afraid to say stupid things and sound funny. I love self-irony and am always ready to support it if it is appropriate.
Be a person! Always show that you mean something! You will never be alone in this world!
