Out of my three favorite comedies (IASIP, Community, Psych), Psych probably is the only one I'd trust with my drink
10 Interesting Psychology Facts
1. Cognitive Dissonance - the idea that when we hold two conflicting thoughts or beliefs, we unconsciously adjust to make one fit with the other. My social psychology professor gave an example of a student who values studying all the time, but slacks off when it comes to their favorite television show. So the student tells herself that watching the television helps her study later when it really doesn’t. However, telling herself that helped her eased the anxiety.
2. Hallucinations are common - one third of people report experiencing hallucination at some point in time. Similarly, normal people often have paranoid thoughts. So when was the last time you hallucinated?
3. The Placebo effect - this is when you think that something like a drug has an effect on you when really it doesn’t. It’s your thoughts that actually resulted in you getting better.

Psychology & Handwriting Analysis: Size
Aristotle spoke of dividing man into three aspects: the mind, the body, and the spirit: “Speech is the expression of ideas or thoughts or desires. Handwriting is the visible form of speech. Just as speech can have inflections of emotions, somewhere in handwriting is an expression of the emotions underlying the writer’s thoughts, ideas, or desires.”
Meaning: The size of the writing reveals whether a person is feeling socially extroverted or introverted. It also reveals your capacity for concentration.
Note: Sometimes your size changes, look at the definitions that describe your mood.
1. Overly Large Handwriting:
This person demands to be seen & heard
This writer overdoes (exaggerates) the size in compensation for an inner feeling of smallness and/or unimportance
Obsession with attention & will go to great lengths to obtain it
Displays obsessive tendencies by writing huge letters (to call attention on himself)

joining a fandom late is both the worst and best thing because on one hand you get to skip all the crazy toxic hype and shit but on the other hand the fandom could completely die at any minute.
The great thing about Gus is that he perfectly oscillates from playing the annoyed straight man to Shawn’s general insanity to yes-anding to an insane degree. For every moment where he says no Shawn, you did not hear that both ways there’s a moment where he, with no prompting, claims that his fictitious grandmother with a broken hip was teaching a line dancing class. For every time he says Shawn, stop messing around at work, there is a time where after Shawn says he’s been “looking at the man in the mirror”, Gus, in a move that never ever fails to make me laugh, with a completely straight face and no impact on the conversation, does the Michael Jackson “he-he”. He’s insane. He thinks he’s normal. He does 11 point turns. He’s a sympathetic crier.
There's "committing to the bit" and then there's whatever the fuck Shawn Spencer and Burton Guster were doing on television every week from 2006-2014
PSYCH | Season 6 Episode 16 ‘Santabarbratown’
Shawn: gus, do you want to help me commit a felony?
Gus: What? Shawn? No!
Shawn: Oh, my apologies.
Shawn, leaning in and whispering: Do you want to help me commit a felony?
Gus, whispering: Of course! What do you need?

Hello again!
I’m doing my masters thesis and yesterday i blazed a post for a questionnaire for people with ADHD, and i got a massive response. way more than i was expecting! thank you!
i made a questionnaire for people <without adhd> so that i could compare the results but because of how massive the response was for the adhd results i need help getting more responses for the non-ADHD questionnaire so that its even.
so if you do NOT have ADHD, please fill out this questionnaire.
what is it for?
my thesis is about making web gui for online encyclopaedias or web articles more adhd friendly by increasing focus and decreasing distractions. i need responses from people without adhd this time to see where exactly the differences lie.
Thank you in advance! i’ll need like 160 respondants to match with its adhd counterpart!
