"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

howdy,

so have become hip recently to a lot of CORE HUMAN BEHAVIORS:

that people respond to weakness with contempt, they genuinely like the powerful.

that people who are POSITIVE find things in the world to back up their beliefs and likewise, people who are NEGATIVE can only see things as negative. seemingly an extension of the maxim, "if the only thing you have is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail."

-----------------------------------------------------

THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING SHYT!

what i'd like to ask you guys is WHAT SUBJECT is this?

if i just look up human psychology books, would it speak about human behavior such as this in ways that are relevant to daily life?

i want an exploration of HUMAN NATURE on this level... what we do and how our brains truly truly create the world that we live in.

what subject am i looking for? psych? neurology?

any good books on this subject? seems like a must read for EVERYONE who is human!

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

This would fall under Personality and Human Behavior. Most people interested in this area would start out reading about Frued's writings about the ID, Ego, superego, subconscious and conscious.

Social Psychology would be the APA recognized branch that deals with stuff like that. Though, I can't say if studies have been specifically done on the statements in your post.

'Attachment Styles' 'Locus of Control', or 'Self fufiling prophecy' might be good terms to kick off a search with.

Actually, Social Psychology is more about interactions between people, not so much a person's interactions with himself or herself.
