The skill of acting without the approval of others (or in other words; you only need your own approval in order to act) is like a muscle that you need to exersize and allowing it to grow.
If you suddenly go 180 degree's in the opposite direction you are going to encounter a lot of resistance, without the proper strength training this will just push you have your path.
I don't know your specific situation so I can't give any real suggestions (that you don't have to follow, gut feeling for yourself) besides try something small of the beaten path.
For instance if you've always drank alcohol because everybody else does, quit for a few weeks and see how you feel about it.
