I find psychology fascinating and found an article on handwriting! linky

I thought it was pretty interesting. Anyone else here into psychology wishing to discuss it?

I find psychology interesting actually. I'm taking Psych II for my senior year in high school.

Cool! I took Psych last semester (it's a one semester long class, here) and taking AP Psych in exchange for not taking P.E. (I have a lot of health problems ??? )

It's alright. I exaggerated them a bit so I could get out of P.E. though. I have asthma, muscle spasms and chronic headaches, which most oftenly progress into migraines.

What did you talk about in your Psych class?

The basics of the brain and mental disorders and, of course, the study of psychology itself. Psych II will go into more detail.

Ah. We kind of jumped around from abnormal psychology to personality types. For a while, we learned about cognitive behavior and classical conditioning. Then my teacher had his man-period and then the class went downhill. It was weird.

Hey, I took Psych 101 last fall. However, it was the more chemical/physical component of psychology, whereas Psych 102 (which I didn't take) was more of the stuff like handwriting indicating personality traits, etc. We mostly focused on stuff like the history of psychology, the experiments done by those scientists, and other things like nerve stimulation, hormones, and conditioning.

Oh, yeah. We focused on the history of psychology just a little bit. Like the Stanford Prison experiment, the shock experiment (I don't remember if it's called that, but the test was focused on the shocker, not those receiving the shock) and whatnot. We didn't really go into the chemical part of it though. That's what the AP psych class focuses on.

I kind of dabble in psychology as a hobby, stemming mostly from a desire to understand various mental illnesses — especially my own bipolar disorder. I also find general behavioural studies fascinating.

Ah, psychology. It was actually my college major for a while (I decided that being a psychologist would not be a very good career for someone suffering with severe depression, among various other mental problems), but I still find it fascinating. The human mind is an amazing and complex thing! I love learning about how it will do certain things to protect the "sanity" of the rest of itself.

Aw, I'm sorry guys. I know depression hurts, Kira. And I've had several friends that struggle with bipolar, so I can understand. :'(

As well, I suffer from a more severe form of dsythima, yet not major depressive disorder. I also show a few symptoms of PTSD but not entire to be diagnosed with it. However, I am well medicated and in therapy, so I'm doing fairly well for the time being. I do plan on becoming a therapist. Ever since I started treatment and made some friends, I became the go-to person for all emotional/drama problems. Helping others comes very easy to me ^^

I love, well, analyzing my friends. I'm not evil, but I do tend to use this to my advantage to manipulate people for the better. I don't know if this is considered evil, either, but I did break up a couple (both of which were my friends) who had an off/on relationship that made both of them stressed. The male was the better of my friends and he was suffering from it pretty bad :/

Also, I tend to make it a priority to compliment any and everyone I see, hoping to make their day :3
