For a dozen reasons. Or a hundred.
Chief among them is mental laziness. It's so much easier to 'get with the program' than to make a plan yourself. Then there's responsibility. How can anyone hold me to blame if I was just one of a herd? I was just following the herd. (The 'just keeping up with traffic' speeding defense.) Safety. I don't want to be the lead sled dog. The lead is the first one to run into trouble.
And, to some extent, biology. Humans are 'social organisms.' So are wolves and hyenas and lions. One lone animal is far less likely to survive against an organized unit.

@SW-User @SW-User Ladies, that isn't what I meant. Society in general wants a few people to tell everyone how to live, what to eat, what to wear, etc. You may be making your "own choices", but subconsciously, your decisions are affected by several factors and underlying causes that are because of propaganda

depends , some take advice from the ones they admire , some ask out of respect , just to make other feel good or special ...

Looking for validation. They usually know the answer...including myself.

Because a lot of people never truly grow up into functioning adults.

I'm not sure how to answer that - what do you think I should say?
