Psychological affection have been applied to many people in different situations. Majority of people could be affected by the attitudes of people around them and therefore behavior differently, even in opposite manner. Especially, for the people who are very sensitive to others' reaction, it is a big barrier for them to overcome. Take myself as an example, my sensitivity has caused me to lose confidence when I am keeping thinking people could look down on me. In the church fellowship where all the people come from the Chinese mainland, I tend to suppress myself psychologically and keep silent without much participation. The reason is that being in that manner could fit in the group because more active participation could cause negative reaction from others. The culture of high hierarchy has deterred me from being myself. That is one of the reasons I came to Canada. I am not used to that environment.
However, being new to others can gave me some encouraging message to behavior freely and actively. There is less monitor in my mind which can affect my confidence. That reminds me of the experience when I left the high school and started the university. The transition offered me the gold opportunity to refresh myself enabling me to come out the past shadow.
