Hello,

This is Fun Psychology, I am Sister Meow Jun~

I recently saw a very interesting topic while browsing Zhihu: What is it like to make friends with people who study psychology?

After reading the answers from my friends, I feel the inner cry of psychology researchers and the dumbfounding of friends who study psychology.

As an undergraduate in applied psychology, I studied basic psychology at the master’s level, and I am still struggling with whether to continue to grow into the third category of female psychology doctorates.

I would like to briefly talk about this topic. After all, although psychology is developing in China, the mystery of psychology is still very tight.

At various gatherings every year, the most embarrassing moment for everyone studying psychology is being asked about their major, because it can It is expected that after hearing the term "psychology", what will follow is likely to be

and other weird and bizarre things. questions, but in fact these questions reflect popular misunderstandings and stereotypes about psychology.

In fact, in 1879, Wundt established the world’s first psychology experiment at the University of Leipzig in Germany. Since then, psychology has become a science and is no longer a vague and mysterious definition.

The psychological counseling and psychotherapy that everyone knows in daily life is only a branch of applied psychology, but its widespread use in literary, film and television works has increased His popularity has made him a representative of psychology.

As a psychology researcher, I can say objectively that psychology is not an interesting subject. It is not fortune-telling, nor fortune-telling. It's not mind-reading, it's just an ordinary person with the identity of a researcher, who also has seven emotions and six desires, and also experiences bitterness, sourness and sweetness.

There are some people who think even more extreme,

However, when I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, I just Understood some basic theories and learned basic psychological counseling points. Realize that hypnosis does not make people fall asleep but enters a subconscious state. It is not always victorious in life, work, and love. You will still get hurt, shed tears, and talk to others. Being able to guess what others are thinking or what they will do next is entirely the accumulation of experience based on careful observation.

Those who study computers should be able to repair computers, and those who study physics should be able to install circuits.

And if you think that those who study psychology are all psychopaths or have psychological problems, I'm sorry, the boat of friendship can capsize at any time.

Perhaps after studying psychology, personally You will be more peaceful and tolerant, able to control your emotions, and you will often think about some of your thoughts and behaviors, why they happened, and how to control them.

But it is not always possible to apply psychological knowledge. It is very tiring to always think too much. If your lover is studying psychology, you may understand this. Deeper.

Before dating, you may feel that someone can enlighten you, but you are worried that you will not be able to see through the other person, while the other person will see through you. There is no privacy at all;

After dating, you find that you are similar to others. Maybe you understand his thoughts very well, and he can only know why you can I understand, but I still can’t understand your thoughts.

People always get to know each other slowly through interactions. Only by treating each other sincerely can we get sincerity. There is no way to understand each other's thoughts overnight.

Friends who study psychology, friends who study physics, friends who study artificial intelligence, friends who study medicine, etc. actually behave the same in daily life, regardless of What is your friend's professional background? Sincerity is the key to making friends.

People often say that the older you grow, the lonelier you become. You have few close friends, so just do it and cherish it!
