Influences of the World.

I study Psychology at university and so learn a fair amount about social psychology and the way in which people interact. A greater understanding of how others shape our attitudes and behaviour is interesting, but also very scary.

It can be very easy to be brainwashed into acting and behaving a certain way, due to social pressures and influences. Our concept of who we are is shaped by not only who we feel we are but also how we compare ourselves to others.

It's quite easy to lose ourselves in trying to be accepted by the world. I love this quote as it sums up what this post is about...

"be who you are those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"
