i believe that everyone would have on several occasions been affected by peer/family pressure to do the things you would not think you’ll be doing. This effect would be elevated when one is emotionally tensed.
one simple example that happened to me yesterday… when i was playing dota… (to all who do not know what is “dota”, google “define: dota”)
i was using ‘earth shaker’ yesterday and when we 2 of my teammates were moving in for the kill. however there were 4 heroes on that particular lane, my mind was telling me to just run. my friend still insisted that we could still go in to own them…
it didn’t turn out that way in the end and he then pointed the blame at me for causing all of us to die… wth!?!
