Nine shocking human psychology

In 1995 a self-proclaimed genius went to rob a bank on the street after putting some lemon juice on his face. The lemon juice was used to make invisible ink, and he believed that doing so would make him invisible under a surveillance camera. How can anyone be so stupid? The Dunning Kruger effect shows that people with a lack of ability have an illusory sense of self-superiority. Smart people rarely think they are smart; the opposite is true for low IQs, who are incapable of recognizing their incompetence because they are incompetent.

Why is squeezing a pimple so enjoyable? Many people enjoy the thrill of squeezing out a clear with a little yellowish-white flesh strip, and will purposely collect videos of pimples watching others squeeze them, the more they watch the more they get on. This is because of the brain's reward mechanism, when you first squeeze the pimple, the white pulp rushes out, disgusted, worried also mixed with a small excitement, has been the face of the psychological implication of the dirty things clear, so that a burst of relief inside, prompting the brain to secrete a short time. More dopamine gives the brain a real sense of happiness.

Have you ever noticed that when you stay indoors all day, you feel depressed and once you go outside, your mood immediately turns cloudy? Not only is sunlight good for your bones, but it can also prevent mood disorders such as depression. The vitamin D you get from sunlight also stabilizes your mood and releases pleasant hormones, which is why people in countries with less sunlight are more likely to be depressed.

Do you ever feel like you always forget to close the door or forget your keys? Do you know why this is? What is the Mandela effect that makes people think so hard? Why does it cause hundreds of millions of internet users to have misplaced memories at the same time? Do you always feel like you forgot to close the door or forget your keys and rummage around in your bag? What is your earliest memory? You may remember playing with your parents in the park or your first birthday, but can you remember that far back? Studies show that roughly 60% of people have no memory of anything before the age of two, and another 40% think they remember. But those memories are really just a patchwork of narratives and memory fragments from elders. When you remember, your mind does not go back to the past, but to the last time, you remembered. In other words, memory is like a picture, whenever you remember something, he will draw a stroke and change a little, and eventually, all you remember is the memory that has been modified by yourself. So, closing the door, bringing the keys, these memories may be modified by your brain a minute later.

Staying awake

What do you do when a friend falls out of love? Play him an upbeat song, a specific music will generate a specific emotion. Music triggers the nucleus encumbers to build emotional networks and hippocampus responses, and the vibrations of the music will subtly resonate with your body. Blood and bodily fluids can soothe and regulate emotions with music just like massaging your body. An upbeat song will make you feel like you are standing between worlds.

What about anxiety and depression? What is the best way to stay awake? Turn on your favorite song, the louder the better, in the car or the shower. It sounds ridiculous, but singing will fill your brain with endorphins and Oxycontin, both of which relieve stress while keeping your heart rate and cortisol levels low. Singing can quickly bring you simple pleasure, and another way to be happy is to be shady and sarcastic, but being shady may require a high level of intelligence.

Quickly out of your side of the love of the yin and yang and love to let go of people, love the yin and yang instead of being more intelligent, do not get angry, they are very easy to lose their wits. Although sarcasm may be insulting, it is one of the most common signs of intelligence. It's hard to be successful at being sarcastic; you have to react quickly, immediately understand the tone and point of view of others, and then creatively process the words. This is why people who love sarcasm and irony are good at understanding abstract concepts and solving complex problems. That's why masters like Lu Sun are particularly good at disliking people, with a deep psychological logic. But a survey conducted by the University of Eastern Finland on the incidence of dementia among 1,449 elderly people averaging 71 years old, tracked for nearly eight years, found that people who like to use negative words sarcastically are surprisingly three times more likely to develop dementia because they overuse a specific part of their brain than those who speak gently to people. So it is recommended to say more nice things and not to be sarcastic all the time so as not to hurt your brain more than it is worth.

Have you ever wondered why newspapers use such narrow columns? Publishers used to find that with shorter lines, people were more likely to keep reading, so newspapers set their lines at 30 to 50 characters. Perhaps why is a short video so popular? The reasoning is here, too.

How much does rejection hurt? Imagine you make a few new friends, but when you invite them out in a few days with great anticipation, they stand you up. How does your brain feel when you're socially frustrated? Probably not as bad as just getting punched in the face, it hurts just as much anyway. This is because our brains process emotional and physical pain in the same way, and both types of pain release the same chemicals, activate the same areas, and produce a complex pain experience. When you see this, you should be kinder to your friends in the future.
