influenceable
This term describes a susceptibility to external pressure or suggestion, often carrying a subtle negative connotation of weakness, naivety, or a lack of firm conviction. It is frequently used in psychological or sociological contexts to describe individuals who lack a strong internal compass or critical filter.
While similar to "suggestible," "influenceable" typically refers to a broader range of impacts, including the adoption of habits, beliefs, or social behaviors over time, rather than just a momentary response to a specific prompt. It is more formal than saying someone is "easy to push around" but less clinical than "malleable."
