Woman Goes Viral For Sharing Interesting ‘Psychological Facts You Didn’t Know’

Why does it have to happen when I'm trying to fall asleep though? I remember everything cringe.

Always consider the source of praise and blame! People who don't know you from a bucket of paint don't deserve that much head space

Huh. I'd heard that it takes ten "attaboys" to make up for one "aw s**t." I guess it's five.

My therapist told me it takes ten positive to out weigh one negative.

Thought it was just me..

Finally.... it's not my fault anymore

So writing "1" instead of "one" falls into the category of energy saving? 😁

Your brain uses the most energy when thinking, so lying on the couch doing "nothing", could still use up a lot of energy.

My brain wants me to practice procrastination

Ora capisco tutto

I forget if I flushed the toilet, when I am still washing my hands somehow

This also seems to increase in frequency with age.

Not buying this.

because your lazy brain checks the box when you go b through the doorway, like okay, that's done.

I disagree, at least anecdotally. Everyone's memory works differently. I can forget what I got up for the instant I stand up from the chair; it doesn't take a doorway. Other times, I can remember a memorized list, even if I'm not completing the tasks in the list's order, and even if I've gone through several doorways.

This makes so much sense. I'm 33 and I always have such an overwhelming sense of nostalgia and "better times" feels when I listen to my 90s/00s playlists.

I haven't liked the mainstream pop/rock I listened to as a teenager for a long time

Yeah I’m not buying this one. My music likes and dislikes have changed so much since I was in high school and many of the songs that I love I was listening to wait before I got into year 12 of my life. Besides I hate to be super picky but I really don’t like it when people say I’m programmed for something.

Disagree

pfft I knew that

Omgosh! I do this too much, my accent changes. And sometimes people think I'm mocking them, but I'm not.

This one makes sense. It's probably also the reason why some people start looking kinda like their crushes or the person they're romantically involved with.

I find this creepy. When I catch myself doing it I immediately stop.

Again, nope. It does happen... sorta. The idea is the basis, so-to-speak, of a self-improvement concept referred to as NLP (neuro-linguistic programming)... the stuff Tony Robbins does.

omg same here

I absolutely do this, consciously- I am aware that distractions can be a danger and I WANT TO DRIVE SAFELY. Please don't be reckless with your life and that of others.

Majority of the music I listen to is relaxing like jazz or new age. The music keeps me calm and more focused with my surroundings.

this is why "hands free" fones while driving are a false security....

I do this also, but only sometimes. People can laugh and say it has nothing to do with listening to the radio while driving, but I think it has to do with the voices on the radio. If I'm listening to something that is 100% instrumental, I don't need to turn down the radio. So I'm good with piano sonatas, but when the announcer is on I have to turn it down.

"Your turn"?? English is not that hard.

There is no such dilemma when you eat the whole pizza by yourself!! :D

I have been taught to never just grab the the last of anything and always ask first. In my case the 'phenomenon' is called childhood education...

Nonsense. People consciously don't take the last slice. It's not a psychological "trick" of your mind. It's ex post facto rationalization.

Nope. I take it. And I say it out loud, it's because it feels lonely, poor piece of pizza etc.

Well my mother taught me that it was ill mannered because someone else may want it Even if it being offered one should refuse the first offer and only accept on the second offer if no one else has taken it.

How is me holding the door open for others trying to use less energy doing things.

So wait you kind of contradicted yourself here. If I’m trying to spend less energy doing things than why would I go hold the door open for somebody??? And how does our body spending less energy correlate with politeness? Is it just me because I am lost here.

There is a lot of nuance in who we hold doors for, and it is very culturally loaded. For instance, trans men have reported being surprised at how often people let the door go on them post-transition. They took the politeness for granted when they were women. There was some experiments done with people reacting to football shirts, where people only held the door for people in the same shirts, not that day's rivals.

Nope.
