People are social animals that form their groups. When you look at those groups of friends, you can observe that people look and behave alike. I believe that at the beginning everyone has their discreteness, but then they take something that they think is cool from others and this way they start to seem so similar to each other. It’s funny how those groups are so simple and obvious. Even when it’s a group of non ordinary people, each of them is pretty typical. We need other people to feel appreciated and safe, but it changes us and makes one of them and not separate individual. We alone can be somehow different from others but together we form unity.

    As you say, we are social animals. We actually ENJOY being similar to others and belonging to a community. It makes us feel safe, protected. So forming our individual identity is balancing between the need to belong and the need to be separate.

    Actually I see this mirroring thing among me and my friends. I see it the most when I talk to them and we tend to use similar phrases.

Man that conducts my extra english course is all crazy about health. He always checks composition of the food products and if there is something that is not healthy, he doesn’t buy it.  This made me think about how much time he wastes everyday thinking about what he’s going to eat. As a humans we live almost 100 years thanks to modern medicine and we are not ill that often. Paying so much attention to food seems to me not really necessary. I’m obviously aware how unhealthy food we are buying might be, but at the same time we are quite healthy despite chewing gum and drinking fuzzy drinks. I believe that it’s not about restraint but moderation.

You often see couples showing their affection in public. Not everyone would admit to that, but it's great satisfaction to show that you belong to someone and vice versa. People are afraid of loneliness and feel proud of achieving such relationship. Most of the people don't think only about love and desire that they have for another person. Social status that partner can give them and fact that they can show what a good catch they've got is also important. I'm aware that with time they often evolve into something deeper, but it's pretty shallow how it starts. In conclusion, people are more primary than they think they are.

I noticed that many people complain about young kids and teens being whole time on their phones. People recall their childhood when they were playing outdoors as this better way of spending free time. I remember when I went outside to play with other kids I didn’t spend my time in the most intellectual or even socializing way possible. We were just running around and irritating residential area’s security. Every generation has their own way of wasting time and none of them is better or worse. Times are changing and it doesn’t have to be necessarily bad. When they invented car people were complaining that people don’t talk so much with one another as before because no one stops on their way somewhere for gossiping with their neighbors.
