Topic > Psychology: Psychology and Everyday Life - 840

Psychology in Everyday Life I never noticed how much psychology could be incorporated into everyday life. But in reality, any decision or action you take is related to it. I personally have been extremely interested in social psychology: why people do things because of social norms, what they do to appear socially acceptable, etc. Other topics I also find interesting are sensation and perception; how past experiences can influence how you perceive things around you, states of consciousness; how things that happened in your day can be transferred into a mix of events in your dreams, motivations, and emotions; what drives a person to do something or what drives a person to start or stop procrastination and finally: personality; what characteristics and traits stand out most in a person, what makes a person who they are. I believe everyone sees the world differently. What one person calls the color “red” may be completely different from what another person sees. And because everyone sees the world differently, my worst day couldn't be seen as the “worst day” by others. They could see that I'm having a hard time but not realize what I'm really going through. Personally, I get annoyed by little things because they mess up my “daily routine”. One day I lost my pencil, the only pencil I use for daily work. I felt like everything was over. I didn't like the thought of having to change pencils and get used to them. It's strange of me, I know, but that's how I work. My friends noticed that I started writing more slowly and constantly stopping to think and question the convenience of using another pencil. They obviously thought it was strange but didn't say anything about it. I keep a dream diary. I wake up in the morning... middle of paper... rait. I want to know how other people see me, though. It's simply curiosity and I want to know how different I see myself compared to how they see me. The choices a person makes: whether or not to follow the status quo, follow what is "socially acceptable", etc. they can determine a person's entire life. future. I find it interesting to see how social standards change a person and how they feel. Popular trends can lead to exclusion if a person chooses not to follow them, putting pressure on them. I have always been interested in social psychology because it can be applied in everyday life and lead a person to success. Knowing psychology can help you in everyday life. I believe you are able to apply it to many situations and make it the best you can. I'm really looking forward to delving deeper into many of these topics in psychology, especially social psychology.
