No because psychologists do not use the scientific method.

Awesome blog post.

>>10435777
in principle one might be able to do psychology objectively. in practice, the closest they've come is IQ tests, which are basically like "this anagram is only solvable by people with >105 IQ. and that will never change in your life:

I can tell you don't perform the scientific method yourself because you think you're a test subject when that's not at all what you are. molecular biology and surgery? premed shitter.
why would you want to even fuck with a psychology major, just drop her, not worth the time.

>>10435777
that is 1st year psychology student syndrome, they all get it. It's based on a need to feel superior and that you understand things more deeply than you did/ than those around you. A bit like the mindset of a cult, but not quite as extreme. It will pass in time. Those aren't subliminal messages she's sending, they're passive-aggressive. She should learn to take accountability for her own behavior and set boundaries on what she will not tolerate and learn to communicate that assertively, rather than trying to manipulate your behavior.
>>10435786 this guy fucks

>>10435828
You're misunderstanding, anon. I think she's using me as a test subject for her theories on psychological disorders. She constantly picks my brain as if I don't realize that's exactly what she's doing so she can match traits to her psychology book and classify me, and this irritates me. I don't think people can be put in a box like this. Brain scans and endocrine tests are another thing, those disorders caused by such imbalances actually has a foundation. I cold be wrong, maybe I am a narcissist and this isn't all about me. (X) Doubt

> why would you even want to fuck

Because I like to fuck, she's very sexy.

>>10435829
> 1st year psychology student syndrome
Right, I acknowledged this. I also had a similar superiority complex my first year in medicine.
> She should learn to take accountability for her own behavior and set boundaries on what she will not tolerate and learn to communicate that assertively, rather than trying to manipulate your behavior.
Yeah I've been telling her this for a while now. It's a vicious cycle...

Then just fuck her. You're not getting anywhere closer to that with your " I feel deeply offended never talk to me or my son again" bullshit

Psychology as a discipline is a meme, that's the point of this thread.

>>10435929
>I'm so lonely I'm arguing with this girl I've been casually fucking for three years
No, I really don't understand you. I don't think we are very similar. I don't think we came to 4chan for the same reasons. I don't think that if I knew you I'd want to talk to you a whole lot. Here, stop talking to this girl if she pisses you off and you think she's such an asshole. Just block her on your phone, you don't even have to break up with her because y'all are just fwb. But I think you will keep talking to her because you're some normalfag who wound up here through reddit or something. I also think it's funny that you're so quick to dismiss the intricacies of the brain with chemical imbalances. You are a navel-gazing pseudo-intellectual. You also use NPC memes. Actually, this girl is probably right, anyone who'd think that most people are soulless automatons probably does have some sort of mental disorder. You should get some blood work done to make sure your brain is chemically balanced.

>actual electro-chemical imbalances
>Brain scans and endocrine tests are another thing

Modern theory has actually pretty much abandoned all notions of imbalances, not that it's any better than anything that came before or what we will have in the future. It's all just big tool of social control. The big scientific basis has been just around the corner for the last two centuries. Neuropathology or imagining didn't bring it, nor will association analysis or epigenetics.

As for your issues, maybe just keep being indifferent when she calls you a narcissistic etc.

If you don't understand me why are you making claims with such certainty?

Oh right... Because these are blanket terms for actual normalfags to use. Nice bait retard, try being less contradictory next time.

Come on dude, stick with your guns.

>>10436029
Who's modern theory? Yours? You're only proving that shrinks and other psychologists are the true pseudo-intellectuals. Are you saying imaging and chemical imbalances aren't relevant? Because we can't have a real discussion if that's what you believe.

This was difficult to read by the way.

Yeah, everyone who gets offended by being misrepresented is a narcissist. Can I get my pills please?

actually it is; all health humans have narcissistic traits to some degree as it's a spectrum. you get called a narcissist once you reach a critical mass but some self-centeredness is healthy and needed to compete and thrive in the world. Especially for a med student, such as OP

the only mistake she's making is that psychologists don't consider the trait a "disorder" if it's not ruining your life or making you do bad things.

>>10436194
Hahahaha what the fuck the girl was right you are narcissist as fuck. I guess you also feel that you can achieve everything you think of and just don't get interested enough to do so...

Fuck man, if you needed /sci/ to back you up it's a red flag of your narcissism, you come here expecting us that you were right, and that's a really good sign of narcissism. Fuck off and take a pill, you can be a better person than this.

Underrated post, not because he's defending me but because the acknowledgment of a spectrum. The main reason I posted this thread wasn't for relationship advice, but rather to draw attention to the quackery inside Psychology practices. Like I said before, pills for common sadness (classifying someones relatively normal response to death in the family as depression and prescribing antidepressants). If anyone think I need to be medicated for how I post to 4chan, they need to lurk more.

>>10436304
I've literally referred to myself as an NPC via image, apologized for being new, said I'm a lonely fuck for chasing this chick, and asked to be medicated. I don't think you know what a narcissist is. A narcissist would never self-incriminate, or belittle themselves even as a joke.

When picking your psych professors look at their profile on the school website and read their publications. I'm sure you can find one. If not, watch Mind Hunter on Netflix :^)

Do you live alone by choice, or are you a homicidal maniac? I also live alone, with my geriatric dog. Super comfy, but I still need to visit my family every other week or partake in some romance to feel human again.

Thanks. Can't really keep it on topic but that's partly my fault.

>>10435889
lol imagine being this desperate for pussy. she's probably a fucked up person who has issues with you that she will never bring up directly. if you're sick of a toxic narcissist throwing passive-aggressive shade at you, then fucking cut her out of your life.

yeah I'm not sure if I'm willing to go as far as to call you a narcissist, because you sound too pathetic to be one, but you're definitely extremely sensitive to criticism and neurotic to the bone. maybe you have some degree of borderline personality disorder and aspergers. you don't have to justify yourself to this woman. you also don't need to come to /sci/ to get pity points while exaggerating the problem. psychology isn't the issue, this dumbass chick who is a living embodiment of the first year psychology student is the issue, and your reaction is only adding fuel to the fire. to be honest, maybe she just likes trolling you or getting negative attention, and you're an easy target because you want everybody to understand exactly where you're coming from.

is there a diagnosis for smug ass bitching?
because that is what she is doing
tell her whats the point of her diagnosis.
you did not want it and do not care about it (other than being a bitch about it on the internet)
it is like going to a fat man and telling him he is fat.
to your main question Id say that the waters of psychology and the models it proposes are even murkier than that of other sciences

The best part is how he replies to every single post and "lelel ur just mad i get laid xD"

>>10437508
For the last time I didn't come here for relationship advice. Everyone is making some very comprehensive analyses on very little context. Pic related is just what sparked my thought train on the subject that Psychology is a meme because like >>10436303 said it's a spectrum. I feel it could be easily replaced by neurologists/endocrinologists and not be missed in the clinical field.

>>10437529
I am very pathetic, thanks for noticing *makes worm noises*

Look boys, another one. /sci/cology degrees for everyone in this thread!

>>10437534
Thanks for addressing the question, I'll have to agree with you there. If STEM degrees were socialized to the point they're free, I don't think Psych Majors should fall under that category.

At least you're not susceptible to infection by her hypocrisy, so I wouldn't worry about it.

In general, there is something to the forensic side of personality disorder diagnostics, but the science of it has a long way to go before they are of remedial or preventative use--except insofar as predictors of recidivism. That the genetic lottery isn't fair when it comes to temperament is obvious enough. Less obvious is that the less fortunate one is in that respect, the more susceptible one is to delusions contradictory to that fact. Rather a lot of extremely nasty people come to this board, and they are not playing. Of course there is a point to morbid curiosity, as one studies poisonous varieties in botany to know what to avoid eating, touching, etc. The trick is keeping that shit on the other side of glass.

Psychology is Jewish studies
