Haveyou ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in anew classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchershave found out some interesting facts.
Perhapsunsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. Girls sit bygirls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose anotheryoung person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sitnear someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit nearother people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other peoplewith long hair.
We seemto believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similarattitude(态度) and we aremore likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may besafer with people who look like us. Sometimes that's true but it's a pity if we always stick to the samepeople, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区) is that we just recycle the same opinions,the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new,find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference.
When wealways stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers (屏障) which prevent us from getting to know peoplewith different ideas? Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someonedifferent. And don't just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question.Start a conversation. That's how we make friends. That'show we learn about people. That's how we open our minds to new ideas. That'show we live an exciting life.
