Sheep In Human Skin

In groups, we do the most stupid and frustrating things to ourselves. We try to behave like others and follow others. Popularly known as ' Herd Mentality ' or 'Mob Mentality', this mentality is seen in sheep which blindly follow the herd. This might make us feel comfortable and sociable at the moment but when the frustrations of missing these little things get stuck inside us for more time, we find ourselves in an outburst of anger.

Being a fan of The Kapil Sharma Show, watching the songs, trailer, I was really excited about the release of' Firangi ' movie. At the time I was with my family, and when they got to know about the movie, they started making fun about it. " No one's even watching his show after that fight, who will watch his movies? ", is their common statement. Though I wanted to watch it, I just stood there and joined the mockery and decided against watching the movie as they all will know if I go to watch.

Stupid, right? Well, we all are at some point in time.

We all have refused customary drinks or food offered to us in our relative's or friend's house just because of the group you came in with has refused and you don't want to be the only person shamelessly eating even if you are genuinely hungry.

This just results in a bad conversation with the hosts as a result of your hunger.

Watching certain TV series, movies just because everyone is watching even if you don't like the genre also comes under this category. Deciding food, clothes, anything online based on the reviews surely promises us good results but also results in wasting too much time. Sometimes, after all the research is done and the purchase is made, you can get a faulty piece or the entire reviewer community might be wrong(as in the case of Samsung Note 7 and iPhone buyers).

A boy holding his girlfriend's hand and the girl facing away from the camera from behind - every committed couple tries to pose like this just for the sake of following the trend. This herd mentality is affecting the human life way too much. The days are gone where people travel and enjoy the surroundings first and take a few pictures for memories. Nowadays people travel for pictures, stories on social media.

They must have gone to a place to enjoy nature but instead they just picture nature and start editing the pictures instead of actually enjoying it.

Performing a particular scene in TikTok, posing in pictures, everything these days is being followed blindly as if there is no creativity left in the world.

I can go on and on...

Think outside of the box and don't let the peer pressure let make decisions for you.
