    The world is a much more understandable place when you realize most people are like 9 years old but in a 30+ year old body.

    Because we were all traumatised as children. Psychiatrists talk about this

      Yeah, I’ve always thought if we could break the cycle for a whole generation in one clean cut, it would only take on generation to enlighten the whole world.

      People thought I was crazy.

      They also say you can’t not be traumatized. Trauma is how we learn to do and be better.

        No, that’s a garbage take. Trauma doesn’t make anyone better. People who learn to overcome their trauma become better by virtue of the challenge they overcame, but that’s like saying becoming a paraplegic made Steven Hawking smarter.

        Some people thrive despite their disabilities and hardships. That doesn’t mean the disabilities and hardships are what made then thrive in the first place.

        Tbh I don’t know about read because I~~ can’t read~~ don’t study psychology, but I heard it first from Daniel Meckler, an ex-psychiatrist. He explains it well and it comes up in every video, so in his eyes it’s the most important thing to grasp about human psychology for your own sake or for the sake of practicing it.

        You could scroll through his page and see what topic seems most interesting because you’re almost bound to hear it in one of them
