You will not stop people trying to influence your choices, in particular family, schools, doctors ect….. you may find in comes to balance in the relationship, or how important they are. But at the end it comes down to what you want, and what you are prepared to compromise on. To be honest when I was young, I just tolerated people trying to change me, and then did what I wanted. However this cause some anxiety to say the least. I would try and hide my weight gains, or eating.
When I gained independence I was less worried, the issue was more clothing and practical stuff.
At 56 you learned to be yourself and have less concern about criticism. I just wore them down, till they accepted me.
Hope this helps, as it is a very complicated subject.
