Have you ever been interested in something that you don't really like?

That would be psychology for me. Something just seems really off about it. It's annoying but still quite interesting.

I [i]think[/i] I understand what you are saying. I am highly interested in Psychology, but yet it is too text book, too structured or boxed in and mostly humans trying to label other (multi faceted) humans as if they are this or that or this. I think some arrogantly/wrongly try to diagnose others based on limited short term knowledge.

@Ryannnnnn Oh nice, good for you. :-)
Guidelines are good as long as they aren't labels stuck in cement, lol. Personally I don't think any human can "solve" another humans life. Trying to understand, relate and help is the best psychologist, me thinks.

@HannibalAteMeOut [quote]many of them just project their own complexes on others too and think everybody thinks like they think.[/quote] Exactly! Quite biased too I would think.

@Magenta From being someone who has been in therapy and who has solved their own problems over many years that was what solved it, getting the main building blocks of a life in place. Purpose and something to move towards, healthy habits, exercise, lack of bad habits, living honestly, following your passions and being diciplined and accountable. I didn't listen to a couple of therapists who told me those things because I wasn't ready to listen but I figured that out through people like Jordon Peterson/my own experience.

Imo labels and diagnosis are only relevant when its a very specific problem that requires specific methods. Medication is a last resort and used to ease suffering or maintain something that is needed if the problem can't be solved or if it will take time to solve.

For me it would definitely be poetry. I understand the value and the meaning it has to society and people. Im interested in structure and how exactly they are composed and the meaning behind them. I think its genius.

But at the same time make me read a poem and dissect it for a grade and i hate it. Especially when im forced to compose a poem of my own it makes me vomit lol.I want to be able to enjoy it since i find it so interesting but more often than not i dont even want to talk about it.

@SW-User I wonder if they really are correct about all these interpretations or if the poets were just like whatever about writing those poems 😂

@HannibalAteMeOut Honestly, im pretty sure some writers and poets were like "I doubt anybody is going to think too hard about this so im going to be as abstract as possible and have litle no meaning or relevance to my life." Theres no way all of these interpertations can be right😂
