I used to be an anxiety neurotic, or at least that’s what Freud, Jung, Horney, Adler and all those Psycho babbling geezers seems to be suggesting. I am also a bit obsessive-compulsive with bouts of mania and melancholia, although the latter happens more often -- likely because I am too much of a drama queen.
I used to unconsciously “spell-out” the words I hear or am thinking using my finger, that is, as if I have an imaginary paper and my finger has ink. Then I’d promptly stop once I realize that I’m doing it again.
I binge then I go on a yoyo diet.
I am seldom average. My theory is that I am too passionate and idealistic -- either that or I’m too lazy and egotistical. There’s a tinge of both I reckon.
My biggest problem I think is that I “think” too much. I have the habit of analyzing everything hence I often overlook “the good stuffs.”
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and I used to dream of getting a Ph.D. Now that I’m a single parent and have been working too long in Human Resources however, I think it’s a load of rubbish. Out of all the things that I have memorized and studied back in College, I probably applied only about 20 to 40% of the things I’ve learned. It would be cool to have the title still, but then I think that’s just my ego wanting to be bloated again.
I initially just wanted to work in the theater. Theater Arts was actually my first choice but since it’s not offered in our University, I took up Mass Communication instead. Except that again, something seems to be amiss. So I shifted to Liberal Arts and Commerce, which I think is just too much mind-numbing (I am of course, speaking only for myself!) Then one day, my Psych Professor told me that I am exempted from taking the exam because my report was excellent… The following semester, I shifted again. That was how I discovered that there was in fact a course where you just study people... Little did I know that the day I shifted course, was actually the beginning of my journey towards self-discovery.
I am still “traveling” and studying more stuffs than I’ve ever studied in the past. The world is my classroom now and my teachers are everyone who has made an impact in my life, whether directly, indirectly, consciously or unconsciously.
I’ve created this blog initially as a sounding board. Now I’m thinking, “A class participation would be nice.”
