Y'all ever see that tweet that goes "She's in her group chat fighting for her life 'cause she sent a picture of you"? It's funny, but it may be a little too painfully true.

We've all probably typed out a frantic defense for someone we like in an attempt to stave off preemptive judgment from people who are important to us.

We've all probably thrown out lines like, "He (or she) looks different in person" after sending a picture of whoever you've just started talking to in the group chat, or "Yeah, they're usually more talkative once they get comfortable," after an introductory meeting between your new girlfriend and primary friend group.

It's natural that you'd want your friends and family to see all the good things in a person you're interested in and to want them to be just as enthusiastic about them as you are. But if a lukewarm response can influence your feelings about someone you were originally crazy about here's a bit of advice for you:

The way you feel about who you're with trumps everyone else's opinions.

If you feel right when you're with your significant other, then why let knit-picky observations make you question your own emotions?

This isn't a sign to completely disregard your mom and your girls' warnings about a bad vibe they get from someone — because more often than not they're right. But it is a reminder that just because your inner circle may not be totally sold on someone you like just yet, doesn't mean you should pump the brakes.

Ultimately, while the interactions between your S.O., friends, and family are definitely important in determining the longevity of a relationship, their initial reactions don't always have to be.

So the next time you want to bring a girl to Friendsgiving or a guy to meet your parents, If everyone else isn't immediately sold on someone you like... it's OK.
