I'm currently trying to cultivate a more carefree/light-hearted/forager aesthetic to that end.

People like you more if you actually consider their opinions, and changing your mind is okay as long as it's toward their beliefs.

From the third person perspective, this can look high status if you seem to be more cosmopolitan as a result of it. I emphasize the fact that I'm having lots of fun.

That doesn't seem to have undermined people's confidence in my advice, but I'm not sure how it impacts perceptions of leadership that I might have in the future.
