How easily are you swayed by other people's opinions? Does it matter who that person is? i.e. Your father or mother as opposed to random person.

I'm not swayed by the opinions of others in the slightest. If they can present me with credible facts to back up the opinion, I might be swayed a little, but I don't question my own views in the slightest because of an mere "Opinion". It doesn't matter much who they are, either.

I can be swayed by a thoughtful, rational arugment at times. Facts are good, but other intelligent and honest opinions can lend a different perspective to things, aspects which I haven't yet considered. Having been born with the devil's advocate gene, however, it has to be a truly compelling argument or opinion.

Well I try to stand my ground but it does appear that especially in the past my family had a lot of say over what I did. I am a pleaser but resent the heck out of it!

I used to be really bad about that -- Now they have to prove their point if it is a important situation

I have to say that I can e easily swayed, as long as what you have to say makes a compelling argument, and I know that your facts are correct. If you are making stuff up and I know it, I'm just going to think you are an idiot. It doesn't depend on who is saying it, but if it's a matter of a person I do or don't like, a close friend or family memember might change it, if my opinion wasn't that strong to begin with.

the only person besides me that i will listen to long enough to change my mind is my Fiancé. and even he has a hard time changing my mind.

Too easily, unfortunately. It makes no difference who is putting forward an alternative opinion, if it is covering facts that I hadn't previously considered I am open to changing my mind. However, if what they're saying is obviously garbage I will stand my ground.
