We all like to consider ourselves someone who isn't swayed by popular thought. But it's hardwired into our brains. That's how we survived since the beginning. Banding together and forming solid groups that kept getting larger and larger.
We might do things fighting against this instinct, but it's an instinct nonetheless.
Do something without caring what other people think often means we want people to care that WE don't care.
Sometimes though, it stops us from doing the right thing, or makes us freeze in our tracks even if we think we should step in, speak out or stand out.
We should wrestle, bargain and compromise with this urge. Our brain controls us just as equally as we control our brains. The brain isn't one united, singular unit but many inner voices lobbying for their separate agendas.
The president we are of this cabinet of advisers and not taking heed is as detrimental as going with the flow with our noisy internal senate.
We're always thinking about what other people think. But do we stop and think what we think?
