Imitation of the immediate environment, What is it?

One day, not so long ago, I had a conversation with a lady I had known for a long time, a college professor in New York.
I argued that all children try to copy their parents, adults and their peers in their behavior if their behavior aroused their interest and desire to do the same or be the same.
So, the proximity effect has a powerful influence on behavior. We adopt habits from the people around us. We copy the way our parents argue, how peers flirt with each other, how colleagues achieve results. If our friends smoke cigarettes or even marijuana, we will try it too.
One of the most powerful things we can do to form better habits is to become part of an environment in which our desired behavior is normal. It's important to surround yourself with people who have the habits you'd like to develop.
Nothing keeps you motivated like belonging to a community. This turns a personal search into a collaborative one. The shared identity begins to reinforce the personal identity. This is why staying part of the group after achieving a goal is critical to maintaining habits.
The role of family and friends in forming habits is great.
Whenever we are unsure how to act, we look to the group to guide our behavior. This is usually a smart strategy.
But the other side is also possible. The normal behavior of society often overrides the desired behavior of the individual.
There is enormous internal pressure to conform to group norms.
Most of the time, we would rather be wrong in a crowd than be right alone.
When changing habits involves challenging society, change is unattractive. When changing habits involves adapting to society, change is very attractive.
Imitating authority is another important component in our lives.
People everywhere strive for power, prestige and status.
We are attracted to behavior that will earn respect, approval, admiration, and status. Once we adapt, we begin to look for ways to stand out.
This is one of the reasons why we care so much about the habits of highly effective people. We try to copy the behavior of successful people because we also want to succeed. Many of our daily habits are imitations of people we admire.
• Cook according to your favorite chef's recipe.
• Borrowing behavior
favorite artist.
• We imitate communication style
boss
• We often imitate people
whom we envy.
People with high status enjoy the approval, respect, and praise of others. And this means that if a behavior can bring us approval, respect and praise, we find it attractive.
We also tend to avoid behavior that would lower our status. We tidy up the hedges and mow the lawn because we don’t want to be a messy neighbor.
We constantly wonder what others will think of me and change our behavior depending on the answer.
I want to emphasize that the main thing is that the environment in which we live determines what behavior will be attractive to us.
If a behavior can bring approval, respect and praise, we find it attractive and follow it.
Here are a few of my thoughts, which I hope will convince my friend of the correctness of my settings.
I will listen with great interest to comments from people who have their own opinions on this issue.

Professional fortune telling and situational diagnosis

There are situations when simple conversations and advice don't help. Relationships are falling apart, a loved one leaves, money isn't holding up, and there's a constant sense of anxiety and a feeling that everything is going wrong.

I help people, both in person and remotely, navigate life's challenges, remove negative influences, and change the situation for the better. I work calmly, without pressure or unnecessary promises. I examine the situation deeply—through fortune-telling and diagnostics—and explain in simple terms what's happening and the best course of action. How I help in practice: - When relationships are falling apart: If a loved one has left, grown cold, or there are constant arguments or outside interference, I help you understand the cause, remove the negative influence, and restore warmth, trust, and feelings. - When life hits a rough patch: If everything seems to be falling apart, you're unlucky, your money isn't holding up, your plans are falling apart, I look for what's blocking your path and help remove the energetic barriers. - When you feel someone else's influence: I work with the evil eye, envy, curses, and heavy energy that has been lingering for years. I cleanse and protect you so the situation doesn't recur. - When you need an honest answer: Through fortune-telling, I reveal what's really going on, what events lie ahead, whether you should wait for a person, change jobs, or make an important decision. - When you're lacking strength and energy: I help with constant fatigue, anxiety, apathy, inner emptiness, when you "don't want anything" and have no inner support. - When your personal destiny isn't working out: I work with loneliness, repeated failures in love, fear of relationships, and help open the way to family happiness. - When protection is needed: I help you close yourself off from envious people, ill-wishers, gossip, and other people's negative interference.

A review of a clairvoyant who really helps – sharing my experience

I want to tell you how a clairvoyant and tarot reader helped me. I turned to her after breaking up with my boyfriend. My soul was aching, nothing worked, and I felt like something negative was affecting me. This woman immediately determined that there had indeed been energetic interference. She shared precise facts about my life, even though I hadn't told her anything. She performed a cleansing ritual and told me when to expect contact from him. Everything came true literally day by day! Now we're back together. She truly sees the future, reads very accurately, and helps with love, removes negativity, brings loved ones back, and heals the soul and body. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for real results, not fairy tales. Here's her number: +1 (646) 377-9379
 

Fortune Teller New York Review

I asked Natalia to tell me about my situation with a man — we had just started dating, and he was acting strangely: sometimes closer, sometimes colder. She said that he had energy tails from his ex, and he had not let go of the past. She advised me not to get attached, not to waste time. I listened — and literally a week later everything was confirmed: he returned to his ex. It’s good that Natalia warned me — I saved my nerves and time. Very accurate and honest, without “hopefulness”. Contact: +1 (929) 740-4563
 

I want to tell you about my life... about how I got to know Martha.

Good afternoon. I want to tell you about my life... about how I met Martha. My life has never been easy. Everywhere you look, there’s a lot of experimentation: either there’s no money coming out of everything I need, then people are happy, they’re checking how much more I can get. My heart sank at the selfishness and feeling that no one needed me. It seemed that the darkness would never come, but would end with each day. And one time, when it seemed that I could see nothing else, my mother introduced me to the woman who had changed my life. Vaughn stretched out her hand to me when I fell into the middle, supported me in everything, in my life, in everyday difficulties and in my inner doubts. For the first time in a long time, I experienced warmth and a turbo that I had never expected in the world. With her help, I learned to trust people again and believe in goodness. My heart gradually filled with light, and I realized: in the dark days there is hope, after the greatest disappointments you can rise. Now I am strong, confident in myself and ready to hear new shouts from this year. This woman gave me not just help - she gave me faith in herself. And I know for sure: no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, I can overcome them, because now I’m not on my own. I’ll leave her number +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
