The reason your above is subjective, is because C is only true for you, and follows from a subjective component like A, not P, that you just didn't include.
C wouldn't follow from P if you didn't care how people reacted to you, or found the risk of getting caught negligible to the point of being non-existent.
Yes, I said as much a page ago that the selection of reason bit is subjective. The argument applies to me, not necessarily to you. But I've given an example argument as to why I ought not to steal someone else's wallet, and it was based on facts, not opinion.
It’s based on your personal feelings, how getting getting caught by your friends would you feel bad. How much you care for their acceptance and approval.

Maybe, but I’m not a naturalist, and don’t believe in a purely physical objective/external reality. I believe in an external reality that possess qualities something like an intrinsic beauty. Elements like this that don’t exist purely as extrinsic attributes of our minds.
