Why Should You
Depend on Other People?
Humans are so
dependant
on other people’s op
in
ions. Hav
ing been assessed pos
it
ively we feel powerful, successful,
intell
igent and beaut
iful. We judge ourselves accord
ing
to others’ comments
on our act
ions. When be
ing cr
it
ic
ized or laughed at, we feel bad, depressed and noth
ing seems
to make us happy anymore. Th
is happens
only because our ways are not accepted
in the soc
iety. “Ego” cr
ies for pos
it
iv
ism, but n
one appears for you base your facts
on the op
in
ions of others. The truth
is that you w
ill never be
in favor of every
one surround
ing you. There w
ill always be a group of people that w
ill not pos
it
ively assess everyth
ing you do.
One th
ing that w
ill help aga
inst cr
it
ic
ism
is self-c
onf
idence that
one should grow w
ith
in h
im/herself.
A student may be a perfect example. S
ince ch
ildhood people are l
ikely
to overest
imate own poss
ib
il
it
ies and pa
int the p
icture of the future
in p
ink colours. When work
ing out a plan for future, we do not c
ons
ider the major
ity of poss
ible fa
ilures that m
ight occur
on the way
to success. Perfect
ionism
is a bad feature that
is worth gett
ing r
id of. Nevertheless
it
is present
in the back corner of a young student’s “ego”. Can you
imag
ine a devastat
ive c
onsequence of a fa
ilure? The tu
tor pra
ises the sk
ills and
intell
igence. He feels l
ike he
is
on top of the world and can do anyth
ing. You get used
to good th
ings eas
ily.
