When a child starts going to school it is often heard the child telling "my mother says so". After a few years in school the child is heard telling often "my teacher says so". When the child reaches teenage the child is often heard saying "my friend say so".
When he/she starts earning and running a family, it is often heard them asking "who says so?"
Have you ever noticed this graph of life?

Yeah, as the child mind is not yet fully mature her decision is greatly influences by the greater personality of people who obtain good status in the society. A child always refer to mother if she want to do things as it is the way she reminded by her mother to act like it. Then, as she goes to school the main authority which she likely agree is the teacher figures which she thin as a good role model. Then, when a child becomes teenagers she trust her friend thus acquire the habits of their friends and have influences too in the manner of their lifestyles. Then, when a child becomes adult she is fully independent and could stand on her own and commit to themselves a sense of responsibility being the boss of their own life.

Yes I even heard it from my son, "The teacher says so." Everyone has gone through this stage before. It is parts and parcels of growing up.It is called, "The growing-up Curve."

yes, I notice now that you mention this LOL…so I’m thinking, does this mean that when we are younger, we are at least clear about ourselves and trust our friends and family more, but as we step into adulthood and family life, the confusion is so all prevailing that we don’t even know if we are to trust ourselves or our partners or nobody in particular or everybody around us

I have never given this much thought until reading your discussion. I think alot of ti holds true in most cases also. I have noticed that some people go through life saying and thinking things liek this too.
