The worst thing that can happen to a person is mental insanity. Watch out for the early stage when everything can still be stopped. Signs of insanity.
“God forbid me to go crazy. No, the staff and the bag are lighter; no, work and smoothness are easier,”Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin was horrified. A light oddity gives a person charm, a heavy one is called differently and is accompanied by ostracism. Do not miss the early stage of your magical transformation, at which the process can still be stopped. Practicing psychologist Natalya Belousova invites readers to compare their behavior with signs of impending extinction of the mind.
1. You make fun of stupid people
Laughing at the poor and despising the poor is a normal phenomenon in a society built on a hierarchical principle, during the period of the cult of the intellect. But there is a limit to everything. A normal person has significantly more pleasant, informative and constructive things in his field of vision than examples of decay and decay. If your tape consists entirely of funny morons, think about it. The fact that you are happy to sneer at the new adventures of ovules and are subscribed to the entire pretentious inadequacy of the country reflects your own self-doubt and restlessness in life. Imagine Jobs sitting in a women's forum. Imagine Churchill stigmatizing the ignorance of the common people. Clear?
2. Everything used to be awesome, but now everything is dull
This is premature old age and a sign of a decline in intellectual level. At all times, everything is approximately the same, only our perception of certain phenomena is different. That is why things from childhood are so dear to us, that is why even routine events are fanned with romance in youth. Then a fresh look becomes blurry, hormones calm down, and the enthusiastic youth with their newfangled inventions gradually begins to annoy. Normal people struggle with this and try to rage exclusively for reasons. Artemy Lebedev, who provides a logical basis for the next object of his hatred, is normal. Vasya Pupkin, whining "all modern serials are shit, better than" Alpha "they have not filmed anything" - at risk.
3. You do not understand why everyone is so interested
Everyone rods from Lana Del Rey, or thinks that this is a transvestite without a voice. Everyone is annoyed by the harlem shake, and some have a dozen favorite videos. Everyone praised the new bill to ban the Thursday vodka trade near cemeteries as either necessary or unfair. You heard about all this only out of the corner of your ear, you do not even have the thought of finding out the subject of general discussion in more detail, you moanly brush aside such conversations. If this happens often, then this is a sign of detachment from society. You don't have to be aware of everything that interests your fellow citizens or your age group. But deliberately ignoring high-profile topics is unnatural.
4. You are obsessed with animals
When a person values animals more than people, this is always a bell for a psychologist. An adult's obsession with a particular beast smacks of escapism, identification with an evolutionarily alien element and schizophrenia. If your mail begins with "dyatel2001", you know thirty species of woodpeckers, collect pinboards with them and everyone you know knows that you need to give something with woodpeckers for your birthday, we obviously have a problem.
5. You denounce those you have recently been
The stuck alcoholic who speaks contemptuously of his friends who drink from time to time, and the ardent ex-feminist who strives to marry all her friends are classic examples. On the same list: slimmer fat hater, newly baptized agnostic, third month child free, formerly unemployed in principle, now a yuppie. Understand one thing - there are no right and wrong, and there is only one choice or another. The fierce attraction of the lost to his side only shows the desire of a person to more firmly establish himself in a new quality, cut off doubts and convince himself of the correctness of the decision.
6. You have a theory that no one supports
Conspiracy is a fun game of the mind, but if you take it seriously, it won't take long to go home. Do you think that the ideal explanation of the dynamics of oil prices has been met with perplexed glances for the hundredth time? Eagerly share your fresh discoveries about the role of the FBI and FSB in the Tsarnaevs case, and in response only yawns and assent? Do not rush to be offended, just leave behind normal people and hang out on forums for the same crazy people.
7. You always know where the root of evil is
“Jerk off, drink and unmarried? It's Putin's fault! " The only correct answer to the question of responsibility for your problems is you. Upbringing, genetics, chance, wife, Jews, oligarchs, deputies, bosses, neighbors, the mentality of the nation, this country, difficult times, economic crisis have some impact on your life, but it is scanty compared to yours. If you seriously believe that someone else is in control of your life, it won't take long to get into a soft room from impotence.
8. You look worse and feel worse
You are not 70 and you are not sick with cancer, but lie down all day, and your acquaintances refuse to go to people with you. Most likely, something went wrong and you missed this moment. You can go down not only because of the crisis of the worldview or difficulties with socialization, but also simply from laziness, a sedentary lifestyle and improper diet, multiplied by apathy. Put the cocaine aside and go to the mirror. Are all your teeth in place? How old is your jacket? Have you stopped getting into trousers for a long time? Do you have a blind hairdresser?
9. You listen to the same thing, watch movies, repeat jokes
Fixation on an object is characteristic of a number of mental disorders. And vice versa - a person's openness to new things, the ability to joyful cognition is a sign of mental health. It's okay to listen to a new album on repeat for a week. It is bad not to update the contents of the player for six months. A joke repeated more than twice for the same audience cries out for the loss of adequacy.
10. Deep down, you think you are underestimated
I hasten to upset you - you are worth exactly what they paid for you. Somewhere in fantasy, everything may be different, but here, in reality, this is how things are. Bread costs 30 rubles. Why? Because they pay 30 rubles for it. So are you. Resign yourself and live, or become better and you will be appreciated higher.
