Isn’t it interesting how much we want to fit in with others? Let’s break it down into simpler parts:
Social Norms: We all want to be part of the group. Social norms are like hidden rules that tell us how we should act. When we see people doing something, we often start doing it too, just to blend in.
Fear of Rejection: Nobody enjoys feeling left out or judged. It can be really stressful to stand out in a crowd. Going along with others helps us feel safe and accepted.
Information Influence: Sometimes, we think others know more than we do. If everyone believes something, we might start to think, “They must be right, and I must be missing something!”
Group Pressure: Peer pressure can be really strong! It feels like the crowd is pushing you to do something, even if you don’t want to.
All these things push us to think and act like those around us.
