Big Bucks Psychology

Money is the center of most if not all people's worlds whether you don't have enough or have an abundance. Everyone always wants more money and are usually willing to do crazy things to get it. Have you ever watched some of those 24-hour video challenges for money? It's those exact videos that make me wonder why people act the way they do when they think of money. We will fight tooth and nail for a paper credited by stores and businesses. In all honesty the power of money just blows my mind and frankly scares me a little.

Psychology of love

Today I had a conversation with one of the guys from one of my classes and when we got done talking and I sat back down one of my friends told me she thinks he likes me. This stirred up my brain a little as I had always thought of him as just a friend. I asked her what made her think he liked me. She said he smiled at me a lot and kept moving closer to me. So naturally this brought a lot of questions to me, and I wondered how to truly tell if someone likes you or not.

Stress; When is it too much?

I feel like I am constantly stressed about something whether it is work, school, money or something else. I have had multiple people this week tell me I need to destress and take some time for myself. This made me wonder where the line between healthy stress and bad stress is.

I wondered if I have experienced any negative consequences of stress before as well and how I could help myself in the future?

The Psychology in Lying

Like most people I'm sure you've wondered if someone has lied to you before, and most likely you have been lied to at one point. I've personally wondered if I was being lied to during a conversation on multiple different occasions. Today was no exception for me, I was having a conversation with a couple of friends during class and after we got done chatting one pulled me aside. She told me that the story that we just got told she heard yesterday but in a completely different way. This made me wonder which one of us got lied to. Yes, I understand that stories can change a little because the person telling them could have left out a detail or something, but the story should not have changed completely overnight.
