[Star Net]

Understanding Ourselves and Those around Us psychologically will add so much value to Our lives, will keerp Us a way from so Many mistakes, and will save so much time in Our lives ...etc

 

I am collecting Psychological theories, summaries and its applications, This topic is opened to discuss them too.

 

By the way, Why We dont have a seperate forum for psychology ? I think it is very important ...

"The Owners chase and work for what They dont Own "

 

Example : Most of Us can be hungry and chase to Buy a book and read it, but When We own that book the hunger to read it disappear in most of the times, and We start to chase other thing in life.

I also LOVE psychological theories and concepts and I def. think there should be a separate forum for this. 

Concept of Standards / Hedonic Adaption is the most common one.

Example: 

Something bad is going on in your life which is sort of bothering you. You're walking around thinking about the problem, and suddenly you drop your phone and it breaks. Now you get angry and suddenly the problem you had before isn't as bad anymore. You wish you could rewind time back to when at least you "still had your phone". And THEN you get run over by a car and it injures Now suddenly you want to rewind time to when at LEAST you had your leg left. And the problem you first had is not as "bad" as it was before...

BUT... here is where the interesting part comes. Let's say your leg heals pretty fast, you are now still mad because of the phone (which, remember didn't matter when your leg was injured). But then you fix your phone, and you're back to square one: the original problem you had, which is now bothering you once again. 

Your psychology adapts to the situation and this leaves very little room for gratitude.
