Strange and ridiculous actions are periodically committed by each person. At such moments, he asks himself the question: “Is everything all right with me? Or is it a sign of mental illness? ”
The fact is that in society it is not customary to talk about one's little eccentricities. People carefully hide that sometimes they doubt their adequacy.
In fact, such situations occur with every person. This article will focus on them. You can understand that there is nothing to be ashamed of. Moreover, you will find out why this happens and answer your question: “Why do I constantly do this?”
Below are 10 ridiculous things we regularly do.
10. Talk to yourself
Young children are happy to talk to themselves. First, it touches the adults, and then they begin to stop the "bad" habit. The child is scolded and even punished.
There is nothing shameful here. In the course of the study, scientists were able to prove that speaking the tasks improves control over their execution. Talking to yourself helps you focus.
An experiment was conducted. Two groups of people were asked to find items in the room. Participants who pronounced the name of the desired item found it faster than everyone else.
If you tend to talk to yourself, don't be alarmed, so you are trying to concentrate. Of course, if hallucinations arose, and it seems to you that you are talking with an invisible interlocutor, then it's time to sound the alarm. These are already signs of a mental disorder.
9. You are lying that you read "this" book
Surely, you have often been in a situation where you had to say: “Yes, I also read this book / watched this film,” although you didn’t even have a similar thought.
It looks rather strange, why lie in such trifles? Nobody cares what you read and what doesn’t. It is easy to answer these questions.
It's just that people want to make a good impression on the interlocutor, and also do not want to be a black sheep. Nobody wants to hear: “You have not watched this film, it is so popular!”
This is especially true of classical literature and legendary films.
8. A little cheat
If you also love to embellish, now you can understand why this happens.
Petty lies do not affect anything, but people cannot refuse it and embellish their stories again.
For example, they say that they reached the meeting place for an hour, although in reality they arrived in 40 minutes. And when people tell stories, the talent of a science fiction writer awakens from many.
Scientists were able to explain why storytellers do this. All visionaries, as a rule, have problems with self-esteem and want to seem more significant than they really are.
Also, a small deception indicates that a person does not trust his interlocutor and thus wants to protect himself.
7. Dancing funny at home
If you like to arrange "wild dances" at home, then you can cope with any psychological problems.
Ridiculous and ridiculous movements are very useful, they contribute to the restoration of the psyche. To understand how this works, one should turn to physiology. When a person experiences stress, his body is completely indifferent to what caused this condition.
The body cannot distinguish between a real and a mental threat. That is, stressful situations at work your body perceives as a threat to life.
To relax, you need to convey to your body that you were able to "escape" from the enemies. To do this, just move a little to the music. This is a great way to relieve stress, the body relaxes, you feel safe.
6. Constantly telling the same story
Surely you have a win-win story in stock that enthralls people. You really like to tell her and sometimes you get into awkward situations. The interlocutor says that he has already heard this, moreover from you.
The listener may think that you have memory problems or you simply do not respect him and do not remember what you were talking about.
Do not panic. This happens periodically with everyone. A person concentrates on his own feelings. He likes the emotional state he experiences when he tells his story. Everything else fades into the background, except for the narrator and his narrative.
5. Misunderstand the lyrics
For many people it becomes a discovery that for many years in a row they misunderstood the words of songs. A man is so surprised that he thinks for a long time why this happened.
When listening to popular songs, people do not analyze the text. At this moment, many channels of perception are connected. The situation is complicated by the fact that a person does not see the articulation of the singer and does not have the opportunity to "watch" what he has heard.
For example, Nikulin's famous song about hares. Many people were surprised to find that he sang: "We will become brave and more courageous than a lion," and not "We will become brave and like two and two."
And the legendary “Violin-fox” by Igor Sarukhanov caused such controversy that now no one even knows how it should really be: “violin-fox” or “wheel creak”.
4. Push the door with a sign on you
There is nothing strange at all. When a person plunges into his thoughts, it is difficult for him to switch. The tablets “for oneself” and “for oneself” do not have cardinal differences, therefore it is difficult for the brain to react with lightning speed.
To understand what is written on the tablet, you need to adapt to spatial thinking, understand the meaning of the inscription and respond to it. This does not happen in an instant.
3. Pick your nose
Another shameful habit that your parents tried to wean you from. In fact, this is not a habit, it is a natural need of the body. A person wants to keep his sinuses clean, so he picks his nose.
According to statistics, 90% of people allow themselves this small weakness. But only many then scolded themselves and promised not to do this anymore. It was not in vain that the parents taught that it was ugly.
If you want to pick your nose, poke around. Just do it without unnecessary witnesses.
2. Pretending to be busy when you are taken by surprise
A man is busy with his own business, he is sure that no one sees him. Suddenly he discovers that someone is looking at him with interest. What does he feel in such cases? Anxiety, annoyance, resentment, confusion.
He was unprepared for the appearance of witnesses of his activities. He does not know how to behave further, so he pretends to be terribly busy. Surely something similar has happened to you.
If a man noticed that a girl admires him, she will start looking for something in her bag.
Again, picking your nose. If witnesses of such actions appear, a person will intensely pretend that his nose is very itchy.
1. Reevaluate yourself
Each person considers himself smart, kind, beautiful, even if in fact it is not.
According to statistics, 90% of people consider themselves better than others. Although people think that they appreciate the diversity of opinions and respect other people's points of view, in reality this is not so.
All of them are divided into groups and consider the opinion of their group as the only true one. People can adequately evaluate other people, but not themselves.
That is why, they often overestimate their talents and merits. No need to be ashamed of this, it is a common occurrence, the same as hundreds of others.
