The psychology of people explained by a 13 year old.

Psychology is simple.

All you got to do to understand it is look at everyone's behaviour and turn into Sherlock Holmes.

Alright, pardon me, but the truth is, it really isn't that simple.

For example, my friend (Shoutout to Jeshan for like... the 5th time ig???) was the most innocent soul in 7th grade. Short story: Some guy in my class called him a bad word or something like that and he cried all day over it. 

Now, in 9th grade, he is definitely not the most innocent soul out there, to say the least.

Now it's time for...

MY FINDINGS ABOUT PEOPLE AS A 13 YEAR OLD:

Finding 1: "First impression is the best impression" and "Don't judge a book by its cover" completely contradict each other. Almost everyone runs by the former and absolutely no one that I know run by the latter.

Finding 2: People love to judge others (including me). It's normal human behaviour, and I guess it gives you some kind of survival instincts. But this judging goes out of hand like 99% of the time. You don't talk much? People gossip about you. You talk too much? People judge you. You ain't good at learning whatsoever? People judge you. You're too good at learning? People USE YOU to judge others. (this one isn't nearly as bad as the others)

Finding 3: You can never impress everyone that you know. Good at studies? Classmates disregard you as only a nerd. Not good at studies? Teachers disregard you as a useless student. Teacher's pet? Classmates disregard you as an automatic snitch.

And this reminds me of something:

BONUS ROUND (1): Whenever some of my classmates talk in their vernacular language around me (which is a 5 star level crime in our school), they immediately look at me and move to another place to talk like they think I'm gonna snitch on them (I was our teacher's pet at that time... kind of). Like bro, my day ain't that bad that I'm literally gonna snitch on some random kids just trying to talk in the language that they prefer.

Finding 4: Who you are really matters when you speak. And by that I mean that your position in society and how others perceive you really matters. If I was a guy who is more idiotic than a rock and is the laziest person ever, and I say something like "JEE just turns you into memorizing and multiple choice filling machines" 99% of the people who know me are immediately going to reject my statement without thinking twice.

At the same time, if someone like the CEO of some company says the same thing as me, 99% of the people who know him are at the minimum going to think about what he said for a few seconds or even completely accept his statement.

Finding 5: Some people don't care about what everyone else thinks about them. These guys are the people I respect the most. But sometimes, even people like these guys have to think about what others think about them.

Let's say that there's this guy called A and he doesn't care about anyone else's opinion. He has two friends called B and C and tells A that he won't be his friend anymore (they were friends for 5 years) unless A apologizes to C for a mistake that he did. A immediately apologizes. He is unconsciously forced to seek for B's approval since he was someone close to him. And the bigger reason is, he would rather give up on his philosophy of not listening to anyone's opinion rather than losing a close friend. 

I dare you to think about this for a moment and think of anyone that doesn't care about anyone else's opinion and then the one time they actually listened to someone.

Finding 6: Some people care about others' opinions TOO MUCH. Sometimes they even reach their own breaking point while they go chasing for the approval of everyone else.

Finding 7: "An eye for an eye" is a very popular philosophy and most of the people that I know follow this philosophy. We don't care about making the whole world blind, we just want the sweet taste of revenge.

Finding 8: People are VERY biased. For example, the Ronaldo vs Messi debate. Most of the guys saying "RoNaLdO iS tHe BeSt" probably just saw a few clips of his goals and his insane celebrations or the people around them liked Ronaldo. This also applies for most Messi fans and people refuse to check the statistics to see who's really the best.

And that's literally all of the findings that I could think of right now. I do know that I did miss a lot, and I'll create a part two when I feel like I could create a banger blog.

Till then, adios amigo.
