83 Shocking Psychological Warning Signs You’re Ignoring Right Now—And What They Could Cost You
A little different of a response, but still important.
If anyone plays video games, browses social media, watches tv, or does any other form of electronic media for greater than 3 hours a day (days off work are exempt), then there is a high probability of an underlying issue causing the behavior.
A true a*******n to video games is estimated to only be 1% to 5% of people who are already playing 2-3+ hours daily. That means anyone else you think has an a*******n actually has a high chance of comorbid disorders and gaming is the outlet.
This can be a ton of things such as depression, anxiety, escapism, ptsd, extreme introversion, lack of ambition or motivation, work stress, relationship stress, and much more.
Reach out to people you know who may sit in bed watching Netflix for hours, always on social media, or playing lots of games. Chances are extremely likely they don’t do that because they are truly wanting to every day.
‘If you’re lazy, can’t keep a relationship, constantly worried about stuff, tired, have self destroying habits you most likely have anxiety and depression’
Oh well, nothing I didn’t know then! On another note, it’s crazy how many people in their twenties have this state of mind. Like, part of me wanna be out there, doing stuff, heating healthy, going to the gym, study or get an actual good job that doesn’t require behing exhausted 24/7 for minimum wage… But the other part of me loves so much staying at home smoking and playing games, eating cheap radioactive food and stay away from the outside people.
I feel mad when IRL friends do plans without me but when they ask me if I wanna go out, I don’t want to. And when I do, it’s fun for some time but then I want to go back to into my bubble. It’s a vicious circle, very hard to break out of.
Psychology student here – it’s crucial for people in relationships who feel their personality is being smothered or overshadowed by their partner to seek relationship counseling, this tends to happen with younger couples who spend every waking hour either together or communicating over the phone. That sense of losing your autonomy or identity can create huge cognitive dissonance once the feeling becomes more pronounced, and is a major roadblock for many couples to overcome.
Family based therapist here – it is normal for kids and to annoy, infuriate, disappoint, sadden, and test the sanity of their parents . It is not normal to get no enjoyment out of being a parent. It definitely isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, but if it is chronically miserable with no reprieve, ask for help.
Not being well rested every morning and/ or waking up more than once a night. Please see a sleep specialist if you do this.
I’m curious how much procrastinating and/or lack of motivation to do stuff is normal, and how much isn’t.
Thinking that 5 hours of sleep per night is okay.
Rapid weight gain or loss with no obvious medical cause.
Relationship problems, don’t get me f*****g started.
The attitudes of their parents. No, really. There are a lot of bad things that current parents do that are just seen as normal, when they’re not. And they have long lasting psychological effects from emotional damage.
Inability to regulate your own emotions. Also, negative self-talk. we talk to ourselves way worse than any person could.
I’d like to point out that there are tonnes of things that are normal but are not healthy or ideal. Normal is just what the statistical majority are doing, not what would be best for them. I think the main question should be “what impact is _________ having on my life and relationships?” Rather than wondering how it compares to the average persons experience or behaviours.
Sorry for the messy mobile post! Forgive me, Reddit gods!
TL;DR – Extreme emotions, lack or struggle with impulse control, blackouts, extreme irritability, disrupted sleep, muted or bottled emotions, feeling like an alien, feeling like everyone has an ulterior motive, self-isolation, preoccupation with pleasing others or avoiding conflict, feeling of emptiness, feeling like a part of your identity is missing or you don’t have an identity of your own, subtle tendencies to latch on to others (especially romantic partners or crushes — maybe sometimes you feel like you’re just a tad “too much” or maybe you’ve heard that from some exes).
Went to school for forensic psych before I had to drop out due to my own unchecked mental illness. Turns out my world view has been wrong my whole life and I thought everyone was like this because my family members were like this. Even though I was in and out of therapy my whole life for depression and anxiety, nobody spotted the BPD because I didn’t know these feelings needed talked about. Never caught the Borderline until my head became such a dangerous place I wasn’t sure I’d ever function again or be able to have the relationships I craved with my loved ones.
