How Do Social Dynamics Contribute to the Emergence of Groupthink?

Groupthink often happens because of a few key reasons:

Wanting to Get Along: Everyone wants to be friends, so they might not share their own ideas.
Feeling Pressured to Fit In: People often feel like they need to agree with what most people think to be liked.
Strong Leaders: If a leader has a big opinion, others might keep their own ideas to themselves.

From what I've seen, it's easy to just follow the group, even if you're not sure about it. This can lead to making bad choices.
