How much are you motivated by people telling you what you can or can't do?

How much are you motivated to do something (or stop doing something) because someone else told you “You can’t do that’ or “you will never stop doing it” be it a habit or a job you don’t care for or am event, sport, activity you want to do. Are you more incline to do it because someone tries to tell you that you can’t and you want to show no one tells you what to do or to prove them wrong?
