Influence " is the power or capacity of causing an effect in an indirect or intangible way; sway"
`
I've been told that I can be influenced very easily. Maybe I am a chameleon and blend in wherever I go in Switzerland. (Come to think of it, a lot of disabled people tend to {try} to blend in with others.)
I don't think of it as blending in as much as it is that I want to make others happy.
Unless you do or say something that totally goes against my core beliefs and values, I'm probably going to agree with you.
Some people say that I'm a doormat.
I MOST CERTAINLY AM NOT!!!
I do have loyalties to people that I will not break.
There are decisions that I have made, good and bad, that have put me in this position at this stage in my life.
We have all made these choices.
The thing about doormats is most of them say "WELCOME"*.
I want to welcome people into my life. I want them to feel welcomed and loved Too many people don't feel loved and wanted. People have been told that they don't deserved to be loved.
Even the viliest of criminals deserved to be loved!
We don't stop and think of how people who influence us have been influenced.
I think if we could understand this, we might be a litte more understanding and patient with others.
So yes, I may be easily influnced, but`maybe I can easily influence others, too.
