With the use of group texts/ group messaging apps, social media, etc, is this possible to create? Would doxxing and the frenzy caused by it possibly be linked to either types of illnesses?
Hey , is there any good psychologist, i have so many questions i need answers !
Here is a personality trait: Ever since someone was a kid they liked sneaking into places. There is no intent to steal or anything. Empty old abandoned buidlings, construction sites when no one is around. They've also brought their two boys, now 10 and 14 to many different parties, weddings and events that they were not invited to. One night they went to a wedding at the local community center and literally gathered with the bridesmaids and bride before they did the ceremony. They have snuck backstage at concerts, etc.. It isn't quite an obsession but an enjoyable activity. Is there a scientific psychological explanation for this kind of thing?
I was just curious if those two things had any correlation or if intrusive thoughts are more random.
Title explains it all, but if it wasnt clear enough just ask for more explaination.
Idk why exactly, but it just struck me when contemplating how high burnout currently is and how little anyone seems to be doing about it REALLY that perhaps that's because the whole notion of where society has u-turned into is for people to care less about each other, so could the whole social media camping up narcissistic traits (not necessarily number of full diagnoses) be connected to attempting to create stronger internal drives in people to have unfillable voids that exacerbate themselves and push people further and further apart under a veneer that redefined being 'social'?
not sure which flair to use, but are there any psychological differences between creatives and non creatives? What are some reasons and traits of people who are more creative?
Hello,
I’m trying to understand a general psychological phenomenon and would appreciate an explanation from a scientific perspective.
What are the known psychological mechanisms that can lead to strong discomfort or anxiety when a person feels observed or evaluated by others in everyday situations (for example, eating in public or being the focus of attention in social settings)?
In particular, I’m interested in why some people may experience intrusive self-focused imagery or heightened self-awareness in situations where they feel visible to others, and why this can become persistent across different types of social contexts.
What does research in social psychology or cognitive psychology say about how and why this kind of heightened self-monitoring or fear of evaluation develops and persists?
Thank you.
There are multiple sense of selves that we have in us and that others have. They also seem to be different. For example, one person may have a sense of self that is more the ideal self while another person can have most of their self concept be formed in a relational way. Where does this difference in self concept come from?
Hopefully this is the right flair.
It seems that many psychologists think that romantic love & sex are the end-all-be-all of the human experience. Rationally, I find this to be bogus, but I'm questioning if I'm correct there, because on a more emotional level, it does sometimes feel that way.
Title. Just curious since people I’ve talked to irl don’t experience this
For example, being chained and shackled and held in captivity? What will likely happen to the victim if perpetually dehumanized?
Does it make some kind of exercises easier to do? It makes it harder overall?
What’s the difference between an introvert and an extrovert? Looking for a nuanced understanding. Thanks
I was recently at an inpatient program. During a class, the instructor posed a question, “If you received millions of dollars and didn’t have to worry anything, would you ever use again?”. Not one rose their hand. He posed a second question, “If you learned you had 1 month terminal cancer would you use or drink again?”, and almost all rose their hand.
Now regardless of whether they would ultimately use or wouldn’t truly doesn’t matter, I just wondered if there was a thought process there? Or why if they were clearly happier sober, they’d burn it down.
Thanks y’all.
Wondering if narcissistic personalities are inherently part of a person or a person can become a narcissist by life circumstances such as drug or alcohol addiction or abuse? If you have a theory for either, do you mind sharing?
Teen rebellions are natural. But it is still seen as deviant in many cultures today. In countries where honour is more paramount than children, teenagers are expected to respect everything the parents say and not to show any emotion. In places like Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Middle East, teens may result in lethal sanctions if they were caught rebelling or show any other moody attitudes, this is why teenagers in these regions are nice.
In the UK before the counter culture revolution, teens had this as well. And in places where locals are minority, immigrant second generations respect their parents, otherwise again, honour killings may happen, even if moody behaviour is natural.
So in these cultures, how do teens still manage to hold their naturally aggressive attitudes?
I’m working on a documentary about prostitution, specifically focusing on the demand side (men who pay for it)
There’s a lot of assumptions, but I’m interested in hearing real motivations.
Answers will be used for a university project.
Would a clinician normally use the DSM-4-TR for assessing conditions? What about for conditions like alcohol and cannabis use which have been heavily revised in DSM-5-TR?
What about tools like MAST and DAST. Are they still relevant today?
Update:
Wow. Thanks for the info everyone.
I am very new to psychology as a whole. I see many claim Jung is just a load of mystical bullshit. How much of his work holds truth? Also recommendations for what to read when starting down this path would be helpful. Thank you
