“Gray Hair Isn’t Caused By Age”: 50 Psychology Facts That Might Surprise You

I did this for over 13 years of marriage to a cruel alcoholic. I stayed calm because I had to. I developed 3 autoimmune disorders and had a major heart attack. Single and safe now, but the damage remains.

It's true, except that suppressed anger builds up inside until it either blows up in violence or eats away at your health. As I discovered after 30 years of anger management.

I must have the calmest brain on the planet. So much to make a person angry these days, so much...

Serenity NOW!

I call BS.. Each time you tell your brain not to respond, you are building up a store of unexpressed anger and resentment issues. Far better to learn how to deal with your emotions.

Especially if you already saw a spider lurking around earlier.

But if you are really really tired you can end sleeping on the ground with pleasure. Source: Myself.

Which is why consultants have really strong 'bear' responses!

No shît, Sherlock.

When I see my dog I feel the same way.

My wee girl just about turns herself inside out when I come home.

Yes, but dogs cant talk. I know it is an unpopular opinion, dogs dont think as human with languaje, and when I see elders arguing with their dogs I dont know what to think.

I'm all about dark humor but I'm not emotionally stable. Hahahaha. I literally have BPD which is emotional instability disorder. But yeah.. love dark humor.

Quick! Tell me some dark jokes so I can get brainier!

Eductated by Monty Python I agree.

Said researchers who enjoy dark humour more than the other people they work with.

This seems to be more correlation than causation. Enjoying dark humor and having complex processing and mental flexibility don't cause or require each other. They both come from higher IQ levels.

Being assigned chores enhanced my problem solving abilities. I was always figuring out a way to get out of them.

I did many chores growing up. My mom had made an after school chore list. If what this research is saying is true, I guess I would still be trying to finish elementary school if I hadn't been made to help around the house every day. Seriously. I was getting by alright, but with much struggle.

sure fine, but can you actually GET your children to do the chores? That's a whole other story

This sounds like make your family act as workers, and I approve it!

Being in a forest when it is raining is amazing, listening to the rain drops hitting the leaves. Very relaxing.

If I can take my dog I'm in.

Treehuggers are everywhere! 😈

I don't think these are all necessarily true for all people, all of the time. My life has included some "failures" that were a hell of a lot worse than not having taken any action!

Is this merely because in the first case you have to spend time wondering what the outcome would be but in the second case you don't?

I can 100% confirm this. My mother had dementia for more than 15 years before she passed away recently aged 70. We used music for EVERYTHING. We had a morning playlist so she woke up to her favourite music and she woke up singing and dancing every day. We used music to keep her calm, engaged, involved in the family and connected. We danced and sang and played instruments together daily. Her last words to me were to tell me how happy she was. There is a lot less music now she's gone.
