What kind of experience is it to follow the crowd?

Ritu77

Following the crowd is a behavior of going with the flow, commonly seen on social media, in consumer markets, and societal trends. Nowadays, this trend of following is ubiquitous in society. It's kind of like... occasionally following along is no big deal, but sometimes it can feel quite troublesome. Have you ever followed a trend? It seems like there are fewer people who don't follow trends now, and the entire social media is filled with various challenges and trends. If you don't participate, you feel like you're missing out on something.

Let's talk about the benefits of following first. Many people like to follow because of a sense of belonging. You see what others are doing, and you join in, feeling like you're playing along with everyone else, especially with those trendy challenges. It feels like the whole world is having fun together. Like that stacking cans challenge, seeing others stack them up beautifully, you also give it a try, feeling like you're making your presence felt.

But following isn't always a good thing. Sometimes it feels quite boring, especially when it comes to following trends in buying things. Someone says something is good, and you also buy it, only to find out you can't even use it, wasting money and ending up with a bunch of unused stuff. Like those trendy items, people say they're so good, and you buy a bunch, only to find out they don't suit you at all, and your original style was better.

Moreover, following trends can also make you easily fall into traps. You see, some irresponsible remarks on social media come out, and immediately people start following and sharing. But many times, it's all fake information, and in the end, no one knows who's right or wrong. Like those fake news that spread so quickly, you didn't even get a chance to confirm and you already shared, ending up embarrassing yourself and causing trouble.

So, following the crowd, you need to have a sense of moderation. It's good to follow along occasionally, participate in some fun challenges, and have a good time with everyone. But, you also need to be careful not to blindly follow, especially when it comes to spending money and spreading information. You need to be more vigilant and not let yourself be carried away by the trend. After all, everyone has their own style and thoughts, and you don't have to follow others. Just be yourself and follow your own instincts, that's what's most important.

People should still have their own opinions and insist on being themselves.

Blindly following the crowd is definitely not okay.
