That useless post didn't make any sense, let me try again
Leading a fairly solitary life, at least on a day-to-day sort of basis, and working a job that doesn't have that much supervision may render me ill-equipped to deal with surprise attacks of peer pressure. From the outsider's perspective I probably don't seem like the type to give into peer pressure, but lately I've felt very susceptible to forces not in my control. (Some might argue that's all the forces, but I'll deal with them later. in a dark alley.)

Today at work I was in a situation where a private document was out of my hands and being shared with coworkers before I was able to register what happened. I'm not exactly at fault because if the document wasn't for other eyes, I probably shouldn't have had it in my hands, but the speed at which things moved from my hands to action was dizzying. I don't recall jumping in to slow things down either.

Which leads me to two points that I cannot quite relate to this story or to each other. The first is that everybody has an agenda. Major companies, you, me, we all do things for a reason. Sometimes the reason is habit, sometimes it is underhanded and manipulative, and sometimes it is what we feel is in "everyones'" best interest. Why are some agendas so much easier to accept? Why is it easier to let a nosey coworker whisk you away on a journey you shouldn't have taken than it is to let the nosey government do the same? Is it purely a matter of size and scope? Is it the fear of vast number of agendas at work in a government or a corporation (as a whole) as opposed to an individual? Or is there something I'm missing?

The second point is about peer pressure. I think I pose as unsusceptible to peer pressure. (I think a lot of people do.) I'm starting to think that posing as such, is a reaction to a pretty high susceptibility to the power of suggestion. Yet, by posing as unsusceptible to the very thing that I'm afraid I'm susceptible to seems to make me unsusceptible to it, right? So do I win? Is this like dressing for success? Or have I lost? Instead of thinking things through, I react counter to the suggestion, once again rendering something (this post) useless?
