Social Gravity

The force that draws a person to their original social position, often binding a person and making them feel they cannot fight against it.

A force worth fighting against.

Social Gravity

The force or influence that a social group exerts on your own integrity, drawing you to fit in with the crowd, even when you might not want to.

“I wasn’t going to clap, but the whole room stood up. Social gravity got me.”
