Do you like to bite people? Or did you notice the habit of choosing an outfit for a meeting for two hours? Or maybe you always get in the longest line at the store?
If you noticed at least one of the oddities behind you, then in our top 10 you will find a bunch more of these. And besides, with scientific explanations why we are doing such incomprehensible things.
10. The desire to bite
Have their pets observed sudden desires to bite the object of love? Cats lie to themselves, lick their lips, and suddenly one of them rushes at the second with bites. Dogs also like to bite the owner’s hands during the game. These bites are in no way connected with the desire to harm or hurt. Indeed, for example, dogs fully control the force of compression of the jaws and their “bites” are perceived as light slivers.
People also have a sudden desire to bite a loved one. Moms often bite the fingers of their children, and adults use bites in games from an overabundance of feelings. This uncontrolled desire to bite an object of love is associated with the hormone dopamine, which is produced by people during meals. The brain confuses emotions and perceives a loved one as something tasty, so we want to “eat” our partner.
9. Abulomania
Abulomania is compulsive indecision, and, more simply, complexity of choice. A girl can think of an outfit for an upcoming party a couple of months before the event, but literally two hours before going to the event she will change her entire wardrobe and come to the conclusion that she has absolutely nothing to wear.
There are people suffering from this disease, they are not able to make a decision, because they want to be 100% sure that their decision will be correct. If you have a suspicion of abulomania, then psychologists advise tossing a coin, indicating the options for choice by the sides of the eagle or tails.
Let the coin decide for you.
8. Queues in the store
Have you noticed that the line you are moving to is the slowest? This is because often people, seeing a long queue, cannot rationally guess which one will move faster: a long one, but people have two or three goods on a tape in it, or a short queue, but with trolleys loaded to the top.
So, a tip: choose a queue for fewer goods in the hands of buyers.
Another scientific fact: some people really don’t like being the last, including the line in the store. Therefore, such people often rush from one line to another, thinking that the next line will move faster.
7. The relationship of physical activity with talkativeness
Have you noticed that many people in gyms or dance studios come as if just to talk with other people? This is all due to the fact that during or after playing sports all your organs and breathing work to the maximum, and the brain thinks that you are in danger. Therefore, each of your actions works with double impact, even your tongue moves much faster than in a calm state of the body.
And in principle, when a dangerous situation arises, you start talking faster, because the brain thinks that you need to warn others about the danger or call for help.
6. Belief in the object
Never underestimate the enemy and be one hundred percent confident in their own victory. This is because our unwavering faith in anything can calmly collapse from our perseverance and stubbornness.
For example, many car accidents happen to drivers who consider themselves excellent in this matter. Frivolity and the belief that he will never get into an accident lead to blindness on the road.
5. The dissonance of our feelings in the field of nutrition
In restaurants, cafes or fast foods, the practice of hanging plazas on walls is widespread, on which there is an image of cafe goods, trailers from a local movie theater or just any television channel, but without music from a visual source. We get other music and sounds that do not correspond to the image on the television screens.
The brain does not understand why we receive different information from different sources at the same time. The brain is disoriented and thinks that we are in danger, and therefore we need a lot of energy and we have a strong feeling of hunger.
So we overeat.
4. A nod and a smile for situations where we do not understand the meaning of the conversation
Do you often have situations where you have not heard your interlocutor? In such cases, many people modestly admit that they did not hear and ask to repeat. It would seem that the problem is solved. But what if you didn’t hear the second time? Ask again? Whatever the case, it’s easier to just smile and nod, as if telling the other person that “yes, I understand everything.”
(And mentally, of course, hope that the interlocutor did not ask you a question, waiting for a detailed answer).
Scientists explain this desire to show that you understand the interlocutor, just the modern pressure of society on the fact that a person must be aware of all issues and he should not seem stupid.
3. “There are devils in a calm pool”
Remember: suppressing your true emotions is dangerous for your physical and psychological state. Sooner or later you will fall. And at best, just yell at the object of annoyance, saying a lot of extra words. At worst, start jamming your secret tricks or drinking them with alcohol.
Everything must be done in moderation and not to the detriment of oneself and others. People who look perfect and perfect in the eyes of others often dream of something forbidden and completely inappropriate to their image. And this effect is called - the effect of moral trust.
2. Teenagers are earlier than adults
Many adults in vain do not attach importance to the so-called transitional age of adolescents. They do not take seriously their problems and thoughts at the expense of the environment. Adults believe that this comes from idleness or stupidity, and even more “bad” adults discount the problems of a teenager, saying that he has not even seen real problems.
In no case can this be done, since the brain of a teenager does not work exactly the same as the brain of an adult. The areas of the brain that are responsible for thinking about themselves in adolescents are more developed and larger. That is why they are fixated on self-esteem and think that everyone around them appreciates them.
1. Depression changes color perception
Have you heard the expression that the world has lost all its colors? Do not think that it is hyperbolized and unreasonable. In fact, a person in a state of depression or severe emotional decline really sees the surroundings in muted shades.
This is scientifically explained by the fact that the retina with an increase in depressive symptoms responds less to bright colors.
