沉默的螺旋：你陷入过其中吗？

Are You Caught in a Spiral of Silence?

“I didn’t speak up. I didn’t say anything. I thought maybe I was wrong.”
我没有大胆地说出来。我什么也没说。我想我也许是错的”

Some employees often say this, disgruntled and frustrated.
一些员工经常满腹牢骚、垂头丧气地这样说。

What they say next usually follows along these lines: “I was right all along but I didn’t have the courage to speak up.” Or “My voice never gets heard. I have great ideas but I just can’t get them on the table.” In short, they didn’t take the situation head on and speak up.
他们接下来说的通常是这样的:“我一直都是对的，我只是没有勇气说出来。或“我的声音从未被听到。”我有好主意，但就是摆不到桌面上来。简而言之，他们没有直面这种情况并大胆说出来。

因此为什么青少年们不愿意与群体行为相悖？他们可能是害怕负面的反馈，排斥，嘲笑或者是失去朋友。这也说明了互联网的永恒性。一个不小心的评论，甚至是一个不受欢迎的观点，将会永远的留在网络空间中，这可能会对一个人的公共形象或未来的发展产生影响。

有时候真的不想说话，只是喜欢一个人静静的。
