A very mild influence. I don't change my mind or follow others without thinking for myself but would say I take other peoples thoughts into account.

With all the places I've moved to, I appreciate the diversity of every person I've met, but at the end of the day no one knows me, my body, or my mind as much as I do. I tend to try my hardest to stick to who I am, and what I wish to do for the world.
While currently I am not heavily influenced by my peers, I do feel as though my late grandmother has inspired my better judgement, and those influences on my superego help to keep me in check and motivates me toward doing better in spite of what I tell MYSELF during moments of doubt or depression.

For a long time I was told how short to cut my hair, to only wear overalls, what and how little to eat, and was too scared to ask for basic hygiene products or materials for school. Now that I've grown into myself, I've realized that my own journey of finding out who I am took place in response to not having my own individuality.
So now I dress how I feel most happy, I wear my hair as I wish, I buy my own food and products, and focus harder in school than i ever have. I work out and eat well not because I'm too fat or too skinny, or too nitpicky or not, I do it so I can be healthy, happy, and have enough energy to stay balanced.
I may not always be in a good place with myself, but at least I am forever confronting MYself.

I rarely do anything without finding some way of involving Riku

Honestly, it really depends. I don't believe that I can answer this question with a simple yes or no. I can relate to everyone above me. I'm always thinking for myself and carefully examine the situation before I make a decision but I can take other people's thoughts and feelings into account too. Especially, if that choice of mine happens to be affecting them as well. Also, I could say that I had various influences when it comes to shaping my Character as a whole. During my Life, I have adopted certain values, viewpoints, ways of thinking and doing things, which consist of outer influences that have truly inspired me into improving, I believe. So, in way, both works for me, I guess !!!!

I like to inspire from others, but I will never make my decisions based on other people opinions. If I need to get reviews about something, then I`ll listen to others, but if I already know all the details I must know, then nobody will convince me to change my mind. ^_^

It depends on who and what relation the person who is giving advice. There's time I won't do anything at all without advice and other times I will 100% reject the advice depending on who and how reputable said advice came from.
