I’m extremely affected by my environment. I get sucked in easily.
But I’m also flexible enough to change it at will. Which I’ve done many times now.
My conclusion is that I need to be somewhere neutral, some place towards which I don’t really feel much attachment or emotion. This way I operate freely and without judgement, my mind is free.
This is contrary to what most need and want: a place to belong, roots and such. I’m an outlier in this case and I embrace it.
