“You’re in charge of the group”… and, deep down, you’re on high alert: a Spanish psychologist goes viral on TikTok with “3 traits” that mask anxiety… and the first one (being too hard on yourself) affects more people than you might imagine
Psychology suggests that people do not adopt an office habit, a way of greeting others, or a group norm simply because they have seen it once or because they have rationally decided to do so; they tend to explore different options until a pattern seems stable enough for them to stop hesitating and start following it
Psychology suggests that, for many teenagers, the real protective factor lies not so much in turning off the app as in having strong friendships outside of the screen, because the quality of those relationships seems to matter more for their well-being than the exact number of hours spent using it
Most people don’t realize that the apparent “disinterest” of many older adults isn’t always apathy or indifference; it’s often a more selective approach to life, in which time is valued more highly and pointless arguments no longer seem like a worthwhile investment
Psychology suggests that turning 60 doesn’t mean a person’s personality is set in stone; with the right practice, some older adults can become more composed under pressure and more open in social situations than they ever imagined
Psychology suggests that the anxiety many people feel about an uncertain future stems not only from what might go wrong, but also from a mind that has learned to treat the lack of answers as a threat that must be addressed immediately
Psychology suggests that adults who don’t have close friends aren’t necessarily cold, antisocial, or indifferent; in many cases, they have built such a sheltered emotional life that closeness begins to seem less like a comfort and more like a threat
Psychology tells us that the small acts of kindness that seem to go unnoticed in hallways, offices, homes, or supermarket checkout lines aren’t as insignificant as they appear; they may also be influencing how the person offering help perceives their own happiness
Psychology tells us that people who feel lonely even when surrounded by others aren’t exaggerating or being ungrateful; they often experience a more subtle form of disconnection in which no one seems to connect with their true self
Psychology suggests that most people do not fully grasp the true extent of the failure around them; they tend to underestimate how often things go wrong in society, and this blind spot can significantly dull our perception of crises such as pollution, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation
