Defensive Mechanism
I've convinced myself that I am completely undesirable. It helps me to avoid emotional investment in every act of kindness I receive. It aids in avoiding attachments wherein only I am attached. I flirt, but passively. However, I am now oblivious to any genuine flirtation efforts directed toward me. I merely assume any words or gestures which display favor of me are no more than common courtesy. I ignore implications, and am negligent of nuance, for fear of reading too far into something. I am the embodiment of the sentiment "do not flirt with me or I will catch feelings" where too many feelings have been caught. Am I the only one that does this? Is it healthy? (edited)

Is it healthy? No. Do I experience the same thing? Yes. It can be hard to differentiate between common courtesy and flirting sometimes. So I’d ask the person of their intention. But if they get offended because they expected you to see their flirtacious efforts or to not read too far into it, then that’s their problem. For me, the thought of forming healthy attachments scare me. So I understand how you feel.

One way to stop obsession and addiction to something is remove it as a plausable option in the mind, else the mind continues to recycle it over and over, sometimes to our detriment. Its something i discovered in my experience and then i foubd descartes also came across it, but its not fully understood yet, if it were we might be able to do it at will with anything and gain more conscious control over our lives, in such a case it could be healthy and revolutionary for mankind but at this time we only have a skeletal understanding of how it works or a gist of its existance as a phenomena and a tool that we dont know how to use properly can be trouble if we dont use it constructively

Poll time: in mathematics, it is said that Two of the same signs (+ and + or − and −) become a positive sign (+) , Two different signs (+ and − in either order) become a negative sign (−). Translating this into real life non-mathematical situations, are there times when no actually means yes to you?
#life #psychology #psicologia #question01
Yes, sometimes a no can mean a yes.
No, no is no, period
You lost me in mathematics 😵💫

Is this where single men come to complain about the ex that just dumped them?
You should deal with those emotions before installing this app & potentially trauma-dumping on your next partner. 👍

Why Loyalty in People Fades With Time? (A Psychological Truth)
Everyone talks about loyalty, but 99.9% people never understand its existence as psychological, but treat it as behavioral. Loyalty is not a permanent state. It’s a dynamic relationship between expectations, emotional fulfillment, needs, and external influences. Disloyalty arises when these... read more

Did you know that simply imagining yourself doing something kind can actually boost your happiness? There’s a fascinating concept in psychology called 'pro-social imagination,' where just thinking about helping others activates the same brain regions as actually doing it.

5 Steps to Forgiving Those Who Never Apologized to Us
1. Stay true to your truth. You and only you know what you've been through. You don't need their interpretation of events or their validation. 2. Don't say "it's okay" when it's not okay. Don't say "let's move on," "okay, forget about it," or other devaluing phrases. Allow yourself to feel the... read more

What's your opinion on holding grudges?
Forgiveness is an act of kindness, but what happens if someone—a friend, family member, or stranger—offends you? Do you try to talk it out, or do you hold grudges? ⬇️⬇️
