In a group setting we unconsciously imitate what others are saying and doing. We think differently and are more concerned with fitting in and believing what others believe. We feel different emotions, infected by the group mood. We are more prone to taking risks, to acting irrationally, because everyone else is. This social personality can come to dominate who we are. In a group setting, we slowly lose a sense of our uniqueness and the ability to think for ourselves. This group force affects and binds a group of people through shared sensations and creates an intense feeling of connection.
