Nowadays, with the advent of the internet online learning has become more and more popular. People don’t necessarily need to go to college to get a good job or be successful. Many high school dropouts have become successful entrepreneurs because they knew what they needed to do. They saw how they could add value to society. They saw how people would pay for their services. And they decided to do it. And they became successful because they had a goal. Going to college does not automatically make someone successful. If anything it offers a tool that people can leverage  to become successful . So this psychological effect that our parents and the generations before have held is still applicable, but it will change in the future. Here are 7 psychological effects that determine your behavior along with several pieces of advice on how to deal with them. 1. People overestimate the amount of attention they get. The  spotlight  ...

Sometimes the way we behave or the things we say can push people away. It might be some of your traits you’re not proud of and want to change. Or, on the contrary, it might be something you see as positive, and the reason it puts certain people off is the way they perceive you. 1. You stick to your word. With honesty, comes the ability to keep your word. When you make promises, you keep them. However, not everyone can do that. So when everyone sees that your word is your bond, compares themselves to you, and sees the contrast, they might feel humiliated and powerless. 2. You’re open-minded. Trying and learning new things doesn’t make you uncomfortable, unlike certain people. You’re open to hearing both sides of the story, and your decisions and opinions take them into account. You get inspired by the unfamiliar, which can cause you to start doing things differently than others. But new and strange things usually put people out of their comfort zone. So when you ch...

Human psychology is something we still don’t know a lot about. Scientists have barely even scratched the surface of it. But at this point, we already know of ways to improve our self-esteem by simply watching a soccer match, sparking our creativity, or increasing our chances of building a successful relationship. 1. It only takes 3 hours to convince a person they’ve committed a murder. And violence is not even necessary to accomplish this, it all can happen in a friendly atmosphere of conversation that looks a lot like an interview. Many people know that when remembering some events, we rewrite the memory of them every time. Research shows that if an interviewer knows some details of a person’s life, then during a conversation, by adding several fake ideas and using special techniques for rewriting memories, it is possible to convince someone that they are a murderer. Most people who took part in this experiment were convinced that they had memories of stealing something, assaulting...

Like some others have said, attraction is not exactly the same as relationship choices. Attraction is more about getting someone’s attention and making the guy want the woman on a biological level. However, functionally, living in a society, pure physiological attraction is not the be all end all of relationships, nor is it purely physiological, nor is even physiological attraction wholly and exclusively based on sexual things. It’s just not. Not even for men. © Envy/reddit   1. Modesty No one likes the person who is always blowing their own trumpet. The same goes for guys when they are talking with a woman they are potentially considering asking out. Leaving something to mystery is very intriguing and will cause a guy to want to find out more about you if he is interested. It’s great if a guy is still finding out fresh and interesting things about you, even after you’ve known each other for a few months. This helps to keep things interesting, and he will al...

The way a person walks can tell a lot about them, not just a person's personality. You can tell in general their level of smartness, personality, and a few other things.  We are sharing some interesting information about various walking styles and their parallel personality traits or signs.  1. The Short Strider If you're a short strider, you usually take short strides and are more likely to be a self-centered and undemanding individual. However, for women, short strides might be due to aches in the calves and hamstrings or it could even be a sign of an emerging hip problem. 2. The Chillers Chillers are the easy-going type of walkers. They usually walk at a slow to medium pace with their body loose and their posture relaxed. Their gestures tend to be small and sometimes they can get caught up in an internal dialogue. If you're a chiller, you tend to focus on others more than your own tasks and might seem lost while walking. You're very ...

We found some Reddit users who shared some psychological hacks or tricks that will below your mind. 1. While talking to someone, stare at their forehead, just between and slightly above their eye-line. It throws them off their game and they have a harder time lying to you or trying to influence you. There is a term for this tactic, but I am too lazy to look it up.  © King_Kongs_Left_Nut 2. I do the opposite of this. My boyfriend may refuse to share his cookie with me, but if he gets into a heated conversation with someone else, I can take that cookie right out of his hand, eat it right in front of him, and when his conversation is over he has no idea where his cookie went. Works with everyone if they’re seriously distracted by a conversation.    © sincerelystan 3. Our psych class repeated an experiment where half the class held a pencil in between their teeth, and the other half balanced on their top lips. We then rated how funny we thought a comi...

Being in a coma can be a life-changing experience — people usually talk about strange or scary visions they’ve had out there, some of them met their dead relatives and others just felt nothing except emptiness and darkness. But the toughest thing is usually getting out of this state because you never know what you’ll see around you and how much time has actually passed. To find out what it was like entering the world again after being in a coma, a curious Reddit user who calls themselves _bread-boi_ created a thread on Reddit, and we at Bright Side went through it to choose 20 of the most incredible stories for you. ●  I was in a coma for a week shortly after Christmas time. Went home afterward and found a bunch of turtleneck sweaters in my closet I had never seen. Yelled to my mom about why there were a bunch of ugly turtleneck sweaters in my closet. She informed me I had purchased them myself with gift card money from Christmas. Turns out comas make you hate turtleneck ...
