I study psychology just because I'm interested in eventually opening a private practice, but also enjoy talking to people and helping them reach solutions to their personal problems. I realized this when I had to take counseling as part of probation once as a teenager, and the counselor I had was a pretty fucking cool dude and made me realize that helping people is refreshing and enlightening.

It's true.
Opioids, amphetamines, benxos, barbiturates. You might as well call them chemical courage.

In a way, there's nothing MORE awkward than an awkward kid fucked up. Because they STILL don't understand social graces, but they don't realize it and make a TOTAL ass of themselves, rather than just being quiet.

it's a shame there is little evidence based science that it does help

This is painfully true in my case. Those girls, coupled with the fact it was the only science I could do. It's a shame I was so beta to take advantage of this situation.

much simplified the evidence that cbt works is as follows

CBT practitioner: tell yourself you feel better and tell everyone else you do too

researcher: has CBT made you feel better

CBT patient: YES!!!!

My god, I'm a Year 12 student in Victoria who did Year 12 Bio in Year 11 and I can understand all the things you mentioned and scored in the top 7% of the state. The fact that people don't understand those concepts saddens me greatly.

Wait, really? I'm in my Bachelor's, and people here aren't that bad. And I go to class with one girl who told a professor that cucumbers are able to feel pain. But at least she knows what an action potential is.

this is true... new a few psychology majors over the course of my life... all of them are socially awkward as fuck....

I thought i was bad with anxiety or awkwardness but I'm Johnny Depp compared to Psych majors.

[Anonymous No.3123146]

I'm an actual Psychology scientist, not like my fellow undergrads who want to be clinical psychologists. For med school students, you have no choice but to go on to get your MD. I do more real science in my field than many "hard" science majors do. Most of hard science is math and theory. In psych, we do experiments and collect data.
