Hello, I agree that we can be influenced by those around us, there are some people who bring out the best in you and others who simply don't allow you to leave your comfort zone, I believe that the criteria you have and the conviction about what you want will always come into play.
Because if you don't have a clear criterion, surely the saying "tell me who you hang out with and I'll tell you who you are" will be fulfilled.
See you later, have a great week !
