When somebody you trust wants you not to do something, at what point should you start to listen?

Follow your gut and hope you have some survival instincts =)
Don’t listen, you eat those damn pancakes if you want to!
If you trust them, I’m sure they want the best for you. But at the same time, you have to trust yourself and your instincts. This question just proves you’re a good person
At this point, I’m so fucking confused, I’m just observing what happens until there’s more information.
Flip a coin. Don’t bother looking at the result. Just go ahead and do whatever the fuck you want without regard for others’ concern
Have they clearly explained why you should not do the thing? There’s a wide gulf between “don’t eat the pancakes,” “don’t eat the pancakes, they’ll make you fat,” and “don’t eat the pancakes, they’re poisoned.”
I think you must assess first:
Can you trust that person telling you not to do the thing?
I’d say question why they’re saying what they’re saying. We’ve all heard tales of things like breaking someone’s heart just to make them go away to protect them from something they may not even be aware of.
If it’s someone you really trust, then don’t do it, if they are asking you not to. I would only not listen, if they are putting themselves or someone else in danger.
Thanks everybody for your thoughts. I’ve been turning it over in my head since yesterday. Was it a “save yourself” thing; was Clint being coerced because somebody’s trying to stop us from uncovering something; is there something even more nefarious involved (potentially including him or DLB) and he’s trying to push the community away before we as a whole get hurt? (He did ask me to “sound the alarm”, after all.)
But every single time I think through following his recommendation, the answer is just always… NO.
We fought for Addison. And then we fought for Sabrina. And I, for one, will fight for Clint and Darren… no matter who stands in our way.
You mean him asking you to “walk away”? Yeah, I wouldn’t do it then, especially since he’s been acting so weird. Sometimes if someone in trouble is asking you to walk away, what they really mean is don’t walk away, imo.
There is only one voice to listen to: the one from within. It will tell you the right thing to do, always.
If you listened… the experience, for you, would end.
Trust no one!
Let your conscious be your guide
If I may step OOG For a minute, at the panel you moderated Clint said something to the effect of: “in stories with choices, both choices need to lead to something substantial.” If you want to walk away, you can, and the story will continue. I don’t ever think you should choose something just because the story is pushing you to make that choice. For example, when @russell did Ascension the second time and had the choice to go with Sabrina or do the senses again, he could have chosen the latter even though they were pushing for the former. In short, do whatever you’ll regret the least, and whatever happens, happens.
