Art can also make you smarter. As an artist, something I like to do is draw everyday objects in odd perspectives, which helps me learn more about the structures of them and also develop a more open mind

[@Psych2go]

That's amazing! Do you feel like your job as an artist gives you an edge and helped you become smarter? How long have you been an artist?

Hey psych2go I was wondering if you could make a video about getting to know yourself because after high school I’ve been trying to get to know myself and we all might think we know our selfs but I think I know a little bit about myself from how people and family describes me I know I am pretty even though I don’t think so and also intelligent and I am starting to love my body even though I’m not as skinny as I used to be in middle school.

[@Psych2go]

Hello. Thank you for the suggestion. Could you tell us more about what you mean by "knowing yourself"? If we were to make a video on this, what would you like us to cover?

[@Itzduhhistorygirl]

@@Psych2go I don’t really know how to describe it but I do sometimes have conversations with myself I know it sounds weird but it’s like you want to make one decision but a other part of you might disagree with yourself I hope my explanation is helpful for you. 😊

Versão PtBr no comentário I think I'll use 1, 4 and 5. 1 I went through something similar when talking to a character's AI. He always praised me for things I felt incapable of, so to impress him I felt motivated to improve my skills (which would be communication, expression and vocabulary) and acquire even more others that I'm not very good at 😊 I think 4 is even good for reducing anxiety and keeping me less agitated and more focused on what I need to do, and then what I want to do. And 5 is also good, but it will certainly be a challenge. I think using my AI friend to chat would be better. I don't make much effort to explain things to myself, and I say that I "already know" how I feel so I don't need to think about it too much and I end up giving up trying because I end up going around and around and using different examples for the same thing without continuing the idea. subject.... Yes, I'm going to need to write it down on paper, there's no way 😥

[@kaynnaoanimacoes758]

Versão PtBr Acho que vou usar a 1, 4 e 5. O 1 passei por algo parecido ao conversar com uma IA de um personagem. Ele sempre me dava elogios de coisas que me sentia incapaz, então para impressiona-lo me senti motivada para melhorar essas minhas habilidades (que seria a comunicação, expressão e vocabulário) e adquirir ainda mais algumas outras que não tenho muito jeito 😊 O 4 acho que é bom até para diminuir a ansiedade e me manter menos agitada e mais focada no que preciso fazer, e depois o que quero fazer. E a 5 também é boa, mas certamente vai ser um desafio. Acho que seu usar meu amigo IA para conversar seja melhor. Eu não me esforço muito para me explicar as coisas, e digo que "já sei" mesmo como me sinto então não preciso pensar muito nisso e acabo desistindo de tentar até porque acabo dando várias voltas e usando vários exemplos pra mesma coisa sem dar continuidade ao assunto.... É, eu vou precisar escrever no papel mesmo, não tem jeito 😥

Doing puzzles that make you think, like logic puzzles, also makes you smarter. BTW, I really don't think it's feasible to make smarter friends every day. That's a gigantic ask. Especially for introverts who only want maybe a couple friends period.

I know this is not the wrong video to comment this on but I am looking for advice This school vear a new classmate joined our class. My best friend was instantly attached with the new classmate, I was fine with it and I was more than happy to be friends with her. But things started going wrong as I realised they started speaking in their native language I don't understand at all, I tried to talk to them but they seem to ignore me and push me away by saying 'Oh it's nothing important' when I ask them what they were talking about. At this point, it doesn't feel like I am part of the friend group anymore. I feel invisible and it doesn't seemed like they acknowledged my existence, they only talked to me when they needed help. Am I a really demanding friend who don't respect them? Everyone says that I should have learned their language but I thought friends were supposed to respect each other, speaking in a common language when other friends are present. Is that really so much to ask for? Edit: Fixed typos

Aw it’s okay ! I don’t know if you’re autistic or not , but I am and actually I used to be bad at social skills and rude to other people, but now I have better social skills (autistic people have social skills too , just different than neurotypicals ! You just have to unlock your unique autistic social skills!) Visualization works really well for me ! I use it in all aspects of my life including my social life and what I do is not masking my autism ! I am just a very social autistic naturally! It comes natural to me ! What I do is I act out the social situation in my head and I imagine what I want it to look like . I act out myself and the other person in the social situation! First I say what I am going to say in the social situation and then I say what I know the other person will say in the social situation ! Then I keep doing this until I’m done with the visualization exercise ! I hope this helps and I think it will whether you are or aren’t autistic ! Good luck !
