Situation

Case 1
- Child crying in train suddenly.
- Mother have to concern child to stop child from crying.
- Child wants his mom to carry him, so he continue crying.. louder & LOUDER!
- Reason why his mom didnt want to carry him is because it's too crowded. No space.
- At the end, his mom cant control him but to carry him up. [Actually is due to the child crying & screaming, almost all surrounded passengers are affected & started staring at them, some shake their heads, some started nagging with friends.]

* This actually causes people to be affected by their emotions/moods. It can just be a simple sudden change to human emotions/moods.

-Over doing body contacts.
-Causes surrounding passengers to feel uncomfortable & irritated by their actions & sound.

* Affected mostly on elder generation.
