How does one distance themself from others’ worldviews and create their own?

I am a young (20) man, still in the process of developing my fundamental views on basically everything. I cant escape the feeling that things I believe in are not really my ideas, but copies of things I’ve read and heard throughout my life. In the spirit of Emerson, I try to analyse and question things I believe and take for granted, but am I not being impressioned by Emerson in that process? When I read works by great minds I cant help but feel their authority and therefore believe them more than doubt them. For example: I read Fromm at the age of 16 and until this day I feel his views on Love become my own, even though Ive found out many other perspectives since then, maybe even more sensible, but its expinentially harder to make soemthing out of them since Fromm is so engraved in me. 

I recently picked up Becker’s „Denial of Death” and I am trying hard to distance myself from those worldviews. Its all just theories in the end, what if I am not lead by fear of death but I will start to believe it because of Becker? I think my final question is: how do I read something neutrally, process it objectively, without it influencing me too much? Is it even possible?

There's your problem right there. Just read more and grow older, independence doesn't come from avoiding writings for fear of falling under an author's spell, but from reading widely and deeply enough so that the relative pull of one author on you won't be too large. Besides, there's nothing wrong with becoming a disciple for a while.
