Nobody else can live with your choices for you. Not your friends, not your parents, not the comment section.

Advice is easy to give because the person giving it goes home afterward. Your group chat will have moved on by Thursday. You are the one who wakes up inside the result. That does not make other people wrong; it makes their opinion something to weigh rather than obey.

Before the next decision that actually matters, ask who carries the outcome. If the answer is only you, listen to everyone and then decide alone, on purpose, without pretending somebody talked you into it.
