A year ago? Anyone & everyone. Now that I’m more sure of myself, only my partner and very close loved ones. Even still, I have control over how long my mood stays altered, especially if it’s a negative change.
Well, I lost my mom last year after being her caregiver for a decade. Her death put a lot of things into perspective for me, and also helped me to realize how short life really is. She was only 47, and I’m now 23. Allowing people to control how I feel, what I think, or how I act isn’t how I want to live my life. So, I focus on what makes ME happy, as long as I’m not harming anyone else, especially the people I hold dear.

I’m very sorry for your loss. In the same time, I’m happy you found a way to see things in perspective, a thing that will help you from now on to truly appreciate what’s really important in life, starting with you.

Anybody can influence a change in my mood. I learnt last year tho that at the end of the day the one person who has the most influence over my mood is myself.
If I let other things people say or do annoy me or cause me to overthink I can easily become dark and twisty, of course, it works the other way too, I can let them bring me happiness, laughter and joy. If people are negative I can only let that truly alter me if I get them that power. Family and extremely close friends can change my mood whether I let them or not, because I care for them, but I can deal with that. That’s part of my choice, it’s also part of my choice how long I let my mood stayed altered for, example if I’m angry or being stubborn and I take a huff.
But why be angry or upset over somebody you don’t share your life with? It’s like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die, nothing will happen to them, but you feel the pain.
I’ve heard this quote multiple times and each time it makes me go wow -> “It’s like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die”. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
My cat has health issues and if he is sick it really affects my mood

I’m very sorry for this. I hope his health will improve.

Thank you! He’ll be on the meds for the rest of his life, but I’ll get him as far as I can 🙂

My kid’s Tourettes, my dirty house, my overwhelming pile of bills/dishes/cleaning and also the positive side of these things: my amazing son, my beautiful home, my bank account to pay the bills and a supportive spouse who is in it with me, a job, etc.
I can reject if it is negative change.
But I need them to change my mood positively
So, not necessary to diminish influence of those people

Pretty much anyone and everyone can influence my mood depending on my sensitivity in that particular moment. But of course, most of the times it’s a constant battle to not let anyone have such an effect over my mood.
I think everything which interacts with me, could impact on my mood. I am very emotional and sensitive so always have a positive or negative impact on my mood. Not only surroundings but my own thoughts also influence my mood.
On a bad day, anyone acting in a negative way around/towards me can impact on me and further decrease my mood… On a neutral day, random acts of kindness or bitching/anger can spike my mood accordingly… On a good day just having maybe one or two GOOD friends to talk to about anything or nothing can make me feel truly invincible! Nothing can beat that feeling of being on top of the world.

Being an empath, damn near everyone. I’m getting better at avoiding the people who stress me out, I’m picky about where I go and when. At home my pets can influence how I see things – the beauty (although not the tastiness) of a bird, or the peace of being warm and loved.
In their simplicity, pets can show us what’s really important in life… maybe we are the most intelligent species on this Earth, but we need to learn a thing or two about love and importance from other species. Btw, would you like to make a guest post about empathy here on Pointless Overthinking? 😀
not many. as far as I know, only my brother has a drastic control over my mood. even my parents can do that to an extent…(and also the trailers of Marvel movies ;-))

That’s amazing! How did you manage to make this great change?

Reblogged this on Fiery K. Tarot.
Thank you very much for your reblog! I really appreciate it! <3
welcome!
My children ! for both evil and good lol
When I’m in a bad mood they all help me.
And when I’m in a good mood the 8 year old has the ability to stress me.
It makes sense that the most important people for us have the ability to influence our mood…
it does doesn’t it. I never thought of it that way.
my husband, cat, parents, siblings….
Cat? How come?

I’m very sorry for this. I hope his health will improve.

So mostly you’re influenced by the closest things to you. Do others have the power to influence your mood?
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure………. I <3 IT!!!!! Nice Question!!! 🙂
Thank you! 😀
Family and friends
Would you consider necessary to diminish the influence of those people?

How does that battle usually go?
I think everything which interacts with me, could impact on my mood. I am very emotional and sensitive so always have a positive or negative impact on my mood. Not only surroundings but my own thoughts also influence my mood.
I believe that our thoughts have priority one in this influencing thing! How often do you get into a negative mood because of your surroundings?
I will may be every 3-4 months.
On a bad day, anyone acting in a negative way around/towards me can impact on me and further decrease my mood… On a neutral day, random acts of kindness or bitching/anger can spike my mood accordingly… On a good day just having maybe one or two GOOD friends to talk to about anything or nothing can make me feel truly invincible! Nothing can beat that feeling of being on top of the world.
Very interesting! And how often do you manage to get in touch with those friends that can make you feel invincible?
No one… 🙂

That’s the best! 🙂
My wife, my son and singers of certain songs
Nice! Can you share a top 5 songs you use to lift your mood?

Mr Jameson, Mr Springsteen…ahh the list is long
I hope the long list bring you helpful influences.
