the fact that psychology majors don’t have a reputation as being particularly charismatic or good at relationships or even at managing people is a pretty damning indictment of either academic psychology or college or both
by the way you could substitute "psychology majors" for "therapists" or "meditators" here and i think it would still be true 😛
in all three cases there are substantial selection effects. people are drawn to these practices because they can tell they're really fucked up
source of all of this is that I was a psychology major, got a degree and all of that good stuff and my favorite class was:
abnormal psychology
where people would out themselves constantly
I thought it's a well-known fact that you get half-enlightened because your psychology is garbage.
I didn't get to stream entry because I was feeling amazing, I got there because I was trying out weird shit to get myself to feel better. twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/st…
Might be you. Psych major and meditator here Tough to relate to people when you see them confabulate their entire lives, you see lies constantly, you understand the world very differently. Being bold enough to bear the truth is a burden. We don't put on shows for people.
