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

in #psychology • 6 years ago (edited)

‘I am afraid of failing my exams’, ‘I am terrified of seeing her at the party’, ‘I am concerned the project will not succeed’. These are all (automatic) thoughts that pop into our head on a daily basis, we all have them.

I can be pretty sure in saying that I have never had any of those...mmmmm.
(is this a psychopath gene kicking in?..oops..)

I'm sure you can work out from my life style and choices, that I'm not the type to not face my fears. Mostly.
(I was always scared of sharks, so I went diving with 5 of them in OZ, for example! lol..)

Anything that held fear for me personally, and I faced it, and has never worked out badly. Far from it, it makes you grow - and know yourself.
(I think a wide range of real life experiences, is the best teacher in 'knowing thyself')

Or, how psychologists often like to echo ‘modern men are stone-agers in the fast lane’

That comparison applied in pre digital times.
Now it's more like stone agers in hyper space travel..and hence the increase in anxiety.
...I also wonder (I just thought of it because I just wrote a post about it..)... if children not having as much imagination today incites more potential anxiety as adults?
If they have never really thought about things, (use their imaginations) then more things will bring on the anxious feelings as adults, when they actually experience life...?

I'd love to tell you all about my fears - but I'm too scared..
😂 😂 😂😂 😂 😂

(I can't berate you for anything, this week - I've had 2 days off! lol)

    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!
