People will say all sorts of things. Not all of them are meant to change your mind, some are giving an honest opinion or are playing devil's advocate. 26 is still a kid, and I bet they all will compliment you on your car once you buy it.
None of those things you listed are real or true. There are people who have pictures on here of 5 people in their cars, or of two child seats, or of an insane amount of stuff all packed in. I don't get people who buy a car because of something that might happen once a year or one month out of a year.
It also really depends on your profession and what your future looks like. I guess if you have to drive 3 or 4 people around every day and your company will pay you to have a 4 door sedan, then that is a different matter.
Small cars are one of the things Japan and Europe get so much better than the US does. You can make any car fun, but it is a heck of a lot more expensive to make a 5000 lb SUV entertaining than a 2700lb car.
Also being unique is always better.

I guess, if you really mean "tells," as in makes an ultimatum or DEMANDS, then you have a point. In the context of the original poster's situation, he/she has family and friends giving opinions about his/her car purchase. They may not be what he/she wants to hear, but a little listening never hurt anyone. I do agree that no one should be forced to do something they feel is wrong.

Seriously, that's idiotic. If you have family and friends because you want them to tell you what to do, they are slave owners, not family or friends. Are you really so sad you cannot make up your own mind on anything at all?
Just think what would be if Einstein would have listened to all those people's opinions of him, or Tesla, or George Washington or all those men and women whose names are on the Declaration of Independence?
There is a massive difference between listening to what people say and doing what people tell you to do.
