When I really began to observe people’s behavior in daily life, I found that many behaviors did occur unconsciously. For instance:
- When I walk on the street and see a grid-like ground like the one in the picture, I will subconsciously avoid stepping on the side of the grid. When I talked to my friends about this, I found that most people have had this behavior before. Similarly, there is also thoughtless act of stepping only on the same color when walking on zebra crossing. This kind of behavior happens frequently, but I can’t think of why.
- When I see the windows of buildings, shops, or other reflective surfaces, I will subconsciously take a look at my reflection on the surface. This time, when I realized that I was looking at myself in the windowpane, I deliberately slowed down and observed other people near me. I found that some people would look at the glass when they passed the window glass as well.
- I found that as long as the phone is around, people will often pick up the phone and light up the screen and lock it again and then put it back.
