RE: Psychology Addict # 45 | Discussing Day-to-Day Fear

in #psychology6 years ago
hat comparison applied in pre digital times. Now it's more like stone agers in hyper space travel..and hence the increase in anxiety

I SO agree with this 😅

I have never come across anything (e.g. studies, hypotheses) indicating that low levels of imagination in childhood correlates to anxiety in adulthood. Plus, don't forget that one of the characteristics of highly anxious people is that they overthink, ruminate etc... But, since we are in this discussion, recent research has demonstrated that children who have less toys are more imaginative than those who have loads. One suggestion for why this is so it's that children with less toys spend more time with a particular one elaborating more story lines around it and so forth. Unlike kids with 100 different toys, who are more likely to switch from one to another and than another.

Can you imagine this? I have friends whose child's room look like a toy store! Oh well ...

Have a wonderful week ahead!:)

More evidence that decadence leads to the destruction of a successful society - as seen throughout civilizations...

....I never fit into that category myself, so not really.
( my box of soldiers, an air rifle and fishing rod was about it!- a regular huckleberry finn, I was, growing up!)

You have friends?
😂 😂 😂😂 😂 😂
(Reg, Derek and me don't count in this census.)

Have a great week, yerself!
