Thanks for the knowledge in bite-sized bits. That being said, I see a lot of people complaining about the audio quality, (which is legitimate complaint but I've heard much worse). At any rate, you could republish the video after increasing the audio gain and then you don't have to reshoot the video... Not really a big deal and it would suck to lose all the comments. Especially for me but do as you feel is best.

"Passive-aggressive behavior is the indirect expression of hostility, such as through procrastination, stubbornness, sullen behavior, or deliberate or repeated failure to accomplish requested tasks for which one is (often explicitly) responsible." Your definition of this was scant. You omitted sullen behaviour which isn't as unconscious as the other factors because hostility is more or less on display therein. Also you forgot negativism and hypochondria and the fantasist and sheer acting out of impulses without reflection. You also omitted flight into drug/alcohol euphoria.

[@cutwir3317]

I like the categories it’s called Vaillant's categorization. I just found out its Psychiatrist George Eman Vaillant introduced a four-level classification of defence mechanisms.

[@TwoBlackRings]

Which books would you recommend to read deeper on the subject of defense mechanisms?

[@vishva8kumara]

You said suppression is a mature defense mechanism - but I have had great deal of pain as a result. In the end it is not much different from repression, you ends up with a lot of unprocessed emotions, and when discussing anything in a session, everything spills out all over the place - and your therapist thinks you are a too difficult case.

[@Keesidia]

All of these are only really bad if you go overboard with them. Sublimation by throwing yourself into your work is great. Working so hard that your physical health fails is terrible. Same with sublimation. Stuffing your emotions to get through a difficult time is fine, but you're going to let those feelings out eventually.

Can it be a requirement for people that submit videos to have a proper microphone. I have to turn my volume up to understand this person.

[@silentguy5875]

+AlphaVirus2g Your'e really going to bitch about the mic?

[@AlphaVirus2g]

+dare colbert Instead of becoming critical, read that I had a difficult time hearing the person. So, instead of glazing over the problem, I offered feedback to the Khan Academy video.

[@silentguy5875]

Guess you do have a point if you couldn't hear them, but I could just fine.

[@oshunlenzs8042]

It's a form of passive aggression not to have the fucking volume adequate... lol

[@AnoNym-zp2mp]

@Gordon Martin I agree! Feedback should always be seen as something positive.

[@jenniferh.7219]

At the very end reaction formation was mentioned, i will have to research works for this concept more because I thought it was just 'forming a reaction'. But it sounds like in psychology reaction formation is more like the example he gave

[@aimeebreneman3524]

Thank You!

[@UpwardsOnly89]

ok what about people who are passive-aggressively humourous about others thereby belittling them because of anger or resentment ? You make it seem as that is a mature reaction, where actually, I think, people like that should talk it out, go to therapy or change their lense of how they see the world, no?

[@DrBrainTickler]

I completely agree with you. I don't think we should be making a joke of serious matters. I don't think that it's mature at all. We should be able to State what the problem is with the proportionate level of negativity. Negative feedback stops corrupted positive feedback loops.

[@DrBrainTickler]

It's childish of the entire world to consider humor as a "mature" defense mechanism.

[@DrBrainTickler]

The entire world is infantile for putting those of us who are real with others and give the necessary negative feedback to expect us to approach them with Sesame Street gloves, make everything all sunshine and roses, be fake. Pull punches. I don't think the effective negative feedback either. It's too easily brushed aside as just a joke. It enables people to trivialize it which is one of the "immature" defense mechanisms.

[@wait_what_name7173]

I think what they meant was that it is a more positive reaction so that makes it more mature. Maturity is normally based off of how positively you see things so humour would be identified as a mature reaction. Normally when a group of people are dealing with a problem together and someone in the group makes a joke not belittling the problem but making light of it, the group will normally laugh and deal with the situation in a better way because of that one joke. If the joke was offensive, it shouldn't be identified as mature at all. What I'm trying to say is that you can put lighthearted humour into a situation and still identify that mechanism as mature.

[@mohamedbadawy522]

what is the difference between sublimation and reaction formation

[@maryclaireperdiguez6076]

Sublimation is directing all negative emotions into doing a productive work (ex. you really sadness and frustration, you express it through composing songs or writing poems or painting. Reaction formation is when your action is opposite of what you truly feel. (ex. you have hostility against your boss. instead of showing hostility to your boss, you are friendly and very accommodating and obedient when you interact with your boss) Correct me if i'm wrong.hehe

[@vishva8kumara]

Like the difference between suppression and repression, conscious process is one being aware of what they are doing.

I totally agree with you. All of its immature because we should just be able to State what is angering Us and other people should be able to handle exposure to it... But the world is infantile so they can't. We are forced to manipulate everyone through omission in order to survive socially... I guess autistic people that don't have a filter or just fucked because we're too real for the world. We are too mature. Fucking Divergence LOL.

@@DogeDELUX hero worship logical fallacy... Additionally, many professionals do not consider Freud to be an expert these days.

[@DogeDELUX]

​@@DrBrainTickler > "Additionally, many professionals do not consider Freud to be an expert these days." Well, you don't say? The college curriculum even acknowledges that, and yet his psychoanalytic theory is the main reason why psychotherapy exists. For the "immature" part, I don't think you understand it in the way that Freud would understand it. I think it's not about "immature" in the sociological sense, but rather in the biological sense (e.g. fully matured flower buds, fully matured tomatoes, etc). Moreover it might just be a way for Freud to tell the difference between negative (immature) and positive (mature) coping strategies. Maybe these words meant something different back then.

[@DrBrainTickler]

I think it's funny that humor is considered to be a "mature" defense mechanism. Think about that for a second. We have to paint something up as a joke, approach it with Sesame Street gloves and make light of something that's serious because everyone's too immature to talk about it in a real tone and yet the field of psychology labels humor as a mature defense mechanism. Laughable. Humorous indeed. 😋😆🤔🖕🌎

[@embryonic7692]

"Talking about it in a real tone" wouldn't be a defence mechanism would it? That's what the video is about..! (Not on how to communicate.) And it's only to put them in to two categories. I think Freud was the one who named them. And doing so by measuring, - you know there's a difference between a child/someone childish and an adult right?.. Whining as a defence mechanism compared to making a sarcastic joke about a real ordeal, see the picture? Have you ever heard a child being sarcastic and joking about something real?? None of these are good or the right way to go about it, if you use a defence mechanism everytime your wife wants to talk to you you probably never had a wife 😅
