A Little Bit of Moi

You Can Sound The Alarm But I Won’t Back Down

Listening to Eminem and Pink-Won’t back down, hence the title, its not that random (I lack creativity) 

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a tad bit stubborn, which you know, can be a bit of a bad thing, it tends to  lead to me holding grudges some of the time, which is stupid enough. But combine this with my really bad memory meaning whenever I do hold grudges (which to be fair to me isn’t very often) I normally end up forgetting why I don’t like that person, which is even more pathetic. Its bad in my own head but when someone asks me why I don’t like someone and I’m all “erm I’m not sure really, he/she is an idiot I just cant remember why.. Its definitely for a good, not-pathetic-at-all reason though!”

So I have two options, forget that the person did act like a douche [my new American word I’m adding to my vocab. Don’t judge.] because I cant remember the exact actions or continue being mad, because I’m pretty sure I’m still in the right, even if I cant remember. I usually take a combination of both; kinda forgetting about it, but in the back of my mind less confident in the person.

It’s pathetic. I know. Thank God I don’t hold grudges often.

In other random thoughts, while doing some psychology revision, I came to the conclusion that I really dislike Sigmund Freud. Despite the fact that he’s seen as the founding father of psychology, his theories are so unbelievably..weird that I can’t take him seriously (look up psychosexual development, he believes every single personality trait is the result of sexual development before 6 years old). This teamed with the fact that he done the majority of his research on himself and about 5 other people gives me serious doubts about him. He basically concluded “I had a pretty fucked up childhood, so must have everyone else” I repeat he’s the founding father of psychology. I personally think he suffered from delusions of grandeur, a symptom of, among other things, schizophrenia.

Oh the irony of an A2 Psychology student assessing the mental health of Sigmund Freud.
