Do you easily take orders from others?

I personally don't like when people order me to do something. I like to do things in my own way..and time.

I also do not like to take orders from others but I have to listen to my parents because they are elders and I respect them and their advises a lot, however I am someone who can adjust in many situations and I will never mind to abide to an order if it is for a good cause. My boyfriend like to give orders sometimes in the house but I think this is not to be taken too seriously because some people are just very good in saying things as if it is an order, so the tone they use are simply a normal one. Listening to someone and doing what they say does not necessarily means you are small compared to the other and it is an order. I personally do not mind when either my parents or my boyfriend use the order's tone.

Of course. Your boyfriend loves you. So you don't have to worry about the tone of his voice. The most important part is that you don't feel too small when he ask you to do things in an ordering tone.

Yeah he also says more or less the same, and above all I am used to the tone of his voice nowadays so I do not mind when he talks in that specific tone now. The most important thing is that we are good together.

Well if i feel that the person telling me to do something or ordering me, is right then i go about doing what they asked me. But more often than not i listen only to myself.

I think it is good to listen to yourself first before listening to others, because your opinion matters before theirs.

I do agree with that.

Not usually. I also like to do things my own way. Micromanagement annoys the crap out of me. Plus, I always think that they are wrong and I am right.

I totally agree with you that sometimes what they think is right might be wrong. and I also think they are wrong and I'm right.

I don´t like people that order me to do something and I don´t do it. But if they ask nicely and I think it´s ok, I will do as much as I can.

If they do ask me nicely, there are chances I will do what they want me to, If it is for help, I am a very helpful person. But orders, are not for me ;-)

If your not a supervisor at work or a LEO and you order me to do something or try to intimidate me it not going to happen no way no how. Ask me nice and be straight with me and I will do any thing i can for you

I share the same opinion on this subject. I don't like people who try to intimidate me, I prefer to refuse an order from this person.

Sometimes you should have the courage to refuse your boss too, because what he thinks is good can not always be good.

Hi, reploid! I also take issue with someone "ordering" me to do something, whether it be at work or in my relationships with my family and friends. It is much more polite and respectful for someone to ask me "Would you mind.." or "Could you please..." instead of just gruffly demanding something of me, and just expecting me to do so.

Yes, when someone asks me something politely, I can be a very helpful person, but when it comes to orders, I won't listen to the person at all. Unless this person is trustworthy person in a given situation, for example a firefighter who is ordering me to leave a place that is getting burnt in flames.
