How can I become a truly independent person? Like, how do I not get affected by every idea or opinion? I wanna be someone who really knows themselves — their habits, culture, beliefs, and values. How do I stay grounded and not get shaken or swayed by just anything?

Man, IMHO it’s all ’bout trustin’ urself and being comf with who u r. It ain’t gonna happen overnight, bro. Start by prioritizing ur own thoughts n feelins over what others think. Use past experiences as learnin’, not as regret. Finally, have the guts to stand by what u believe in, no matter how much heat u get. Try not to get 2 wrapped up in all that external noise, u know? Just do u, fam. 💪🏼👊🏼
This was merely a concept to me until i was 56. You are a and everyone around, are divined, and searching. See the love, eternal, in you, and by doing o seeee the halo surrounding others.
Honestly mate, IMO the best way is to take some time for self-reflection. Start journaling, meditating, whatever works for you. It’s all about tuning in and really getting to know yourself. There’ll always be new ideas pullin’ you this way or that, but if u truly understand urself, u won’t be easily swayed. Stay true to you. Some might agree or disagree, but hey, that’s my 2 cents! Keep it real, bro.
Hi! I’m one of the most self assured people I know, but it wasn’t always that way. One of the biggest pieces of advice (that sounds a little corny) is starting with your physical state first. Start a workout routine (doesn’t have to be intense), stop snacking throughout the day, read more, get a hobby!
It may seem trivial but once you start caring for your body it’s easier to care for your mind. Soon you’ll be able to ask yourself these big questions.
To help with your actual question, do research on who you want to be then truly fake it till you make it. You want to be a person that believes in sustainability? Start donating to organizations that plant trees. Invest in zero waste products. Turn off the lights around your home. You want to be Buddhist? Research. Meet people who share those beliefs.
Do things towards your goal until it comes true.
Xoxo,
A total self assured hippie
Just do it
