Our behaviour, as well as our thoughts and feelings are affected by our immediate environment. While our physical environments may be complex, our social ones are undoubtedly much more complex! It also has to do with how we think about other people! Know who we can trust and who we can"t. Learn to predict and explain other people"s behaviour.
