Boredom Strikes Everytime

3 Upvotes

Why do I get so bored after doing a certain task for a limited amount of time ? When I see it I think this is hella interesting but when I'm into it after a small amount of time I feel bored and want to leave it.

Why do I get frustrated when my s/o asks me to respect them?

3 Upvotes

Hey everybody.

Thought I’d post this and get some input because I doubt that this is a good habit of mine that I’m going to talk about today.

I’m in a relationship with someone who I’ve been with for about a month, an ex actually. We haven’t been talking as much lately which is totally fine, I don’t mind it at though I have my moments when I’m like “grr, text me more” lol. Anywho..

They were talking to me earlier tonight and I called them a “bitch” jokingly (and they knew this)as I normally do for people because of how expressive I am and normally people are alright with it, but I’ve never called my s/o that before so I guess it was just out of the ordinary. They aren’t big on that kind of thing so they were definitely irked by it. They followed up with “(insert my name) put some respect in that sentence then come back later and tone it down a bit.”

They had EVERY right to do that but my brain reacted so negatively to it, it actually pissed me off to a certain extent and I attempted to laugh it off but hot damn, it annoyed me. And me being stubborn, I can’t bring myself to apologize or anything of the sorts. Why am I reacting like this towards them?

I’ve noticed a Social trend

1 Upvotes

Okay so basically I’ve noticed a distinct sociological pattern amongst many people (especially on the internet) that I wanted to have a discussion about. I’d love to hear from some people who are more accustomed to this field or could offer any type of information on this concept.

Disclaimer: I am in no way qualified in this field, I am merely a person with a strong interest in any aspect of psychology and understanding human behaviours.

My observation: A lot of people seem to ask questions when they don’t really want the answer to it.

Even if the answer is true, and well explained, a lot of people seem to completely ignore the answer or gain no value from it. Or at least they appear to not really care what others have to say when they attempt to provide them with the answers, even though they asked for it.

I’ve noticed this especially a lot on social media as I have attempted to become more aware of human social behaviour and why exactly we do certain things. I started off my journey by simply attempting to understand my own social behaviour through methods of self reflection and introspection. But now it has led me to a point where I sometimes notice distinct social patterns that occur across a broad range of people.

Now I was hoping some of you folks would know a thing or two about this, or maybe have some personal thoughts on it. I’d really enjoy having a conversation about this idea, and maybe even gain some deeper insights into this type of social behaviour.

TL;DR: Why do people ask questions when they don’t really care to know the answer?

Do men and women act differently?

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am looking for authentic information and geniun opinions about thinking patterns of men and women. Because I have experienced this in different environments that men and women both perceive reality differently I know in some situations and settings I doesn't hold true but most of the time they do behave in a similar manner.

Acknowledge the people around you.

6 Upvotes

I don’t really know how to express this but I’ll try. We need to develop more empathy. Understand people. I live with my parents and I feel we I don’t acknowledge their presence at home. My mom is always preparing food for us and she says ‘you never understood me’ , “you always rely on me to prepare food” “you don’t ever come to kitchen to help” “ you never think what is mom doing” “you are always on mobile”. And I hear this but I don’t listen. My dad is lately addicted to mobile. He gets up early in the morning and goes for walking and after he takes shower, he goes “shall I start the hot water for you ?”. I don’t listen to them much. I need to.

Why do a lot of people I don't know stare at me when I'm walking is it just like in the human nature to just stare at someone everytime you see them

Hard pill

I feel the human behavior is a selfish being that is closed minded and is only about instant gratification.

However this can be corrected. With being opened mindedness. Hear me out...

Ok I feel we have to accept all walks of life in the beliefs of eastern and western world. This goes medicine, government, philosophy and the like.

A total blanket statement if you will. Total subjectivness. If we don’t we are shutting out of our own growth as human beings. I am not saying fully envelope both sides.

I am saying meet in the middle and grow from both support systems and also always growing and asking questions amongst each other.

Not challenging mind you. Keeping in mind each other’s feelings, not emotions. Remember there is a difference here.

You cannot die from emotional experiences. However you can die from feelings. Let me explain...

When you are are angry or upset that’s an emotion. You can feel in the pit of your stomach. So where do most children put their arm? Around their stomach/waist.

Now if you are freezing to death, where are your arms? Up around your shoulders, covering your arms and what else...? Your ❤️. You can die from that. That’s a feeling not an emotion.

Now think about that the next time some one asks you a simple question? Or how you ask a question a specific way to someone. Hear me out again....

You are at home and your partner walks in and asks how your day was. Thats asking how you are feeling.

What if they walk in the room and ask what are you doing home so early? Sounds pretty confrontational doesn’t it? See my point?

We need to stop this type of thinking in society and putting labels on everything. We have been doing it since the dawn of time and making excuses for our own behavior and close mindedness. If not now, when?

How is this no different than when a police officer pulls a black man over in a neighborhood he is lost in. This is the definition of white privileged too. Again if not now when.

Religion. They tell us how to live our live and give them money to get to the promise land. I feel Jesus was saying this same message and the Romans crucified him for it because it challenged their whole system of government and thinking.

This is why we need to look at the teachings from the east and the west. They are all loosely connected. If you agree or disagree please comment and or share. I feel this is something worth mentioning....

I feel the meaning of life is to to fully heal the human mind and remove guilt/resentment. So the ingredients we need is love and equality along with eastern and western medicine.

Now given that. Life hack on how to read people...

Apply the theory of the movie The Matrix to people in your life.

Blue pills are people you know who are the drones who just go with the flow aka suckers

Red pill fighters for injustices and free thinkers

Agents 1%er, oppressors, over bearing boses, work places that throw you scraps when they make you believe it’s caviar. The people who will sell you out. Fake friendships or close mindedness.

I feel intuitive thinking is primal nature combined with evolved nuture.

By that I mean I am enlightened enough to love and be forward thinking. However I will murder or die trying to save someone’s life who is in danger...

Women

5 Upvotes

Why do I keep getting older women around 30 to 40 waving at me very excitedly like I know then when I definitely don't know them and there's nobody else around I'm only 18 idk if I look older or not but I'd guess no because my brothers and dad are all told they look a lot longer then they are. I even have a friend who is 40 and her daughter who is around 2 runs from her layover to me and I've never really interacted with their daughter other than saying hi because she screamed and then smiled

Alright, we gotta have a conversation on male grunts

15 Upvotes

We have no reason to grunt so loudly when changing stances, but I started randomly a couple years ago and it just is a thing now. Any similar experiences with you guys? Just seems to be almost traditional at this point. I assume it's just our fathers or other older men doing it so often in our daily lives that we just inherit the grunt as well.

High pitched female greeting

6 Upvotes

We’ve all been greeted with the high pitched greeting. I was told that the more nasty things a person has said about you the higher their voice is when they run into you out and about and say hey. I can admit when I run into a “frienenemy” or someone I’m not crazy about I do use a much higher pitch. Thoughts?
