For me, the barrier to critical thinking is groupthink.

Often, I have always been part of a large circle of friends since elementary school, and I tend to adapt
to their personality in order to fit in and build relationships with them.

according to their tastes and desires.

This idea continues in universities.

I think the word we know is "Yeah, man.

" I'm not good at saying no, especially when the majority of my friends agree with the same thing.

So, in order to avoid causing chaos and confusion within the group, I put aside my personal decisions
and remain a "yes man.

" My friends too please.

For example, during my lunch break, I often ignore my craving for pizza and eat what my friends are
eating.

But my friend wants to eat something else.

Lunch too.

Another example is if your friend wants to go home at 6 p.m.

Her mother told me to come home at 4pm, but I apologized to her mother so as not to disappoint her
friends.

Finally, to change this, I would like to work on saying no and sticking to my opinions and desires even
when I am part of a larger circle, as this usually leads to unhealthy decisions.

I want to say it.

There's a good chance you'll match your friend.

For me, it's still important to know my preferences and respect the ideas and actions I wholeheartedly
support.
