My Introduction to Psychology 9: Aattle against boredom and nothingness…

My Introduction to Psychology 9: A battle against boredom and nothingness…

Creativity comes from my battle against boredom and nothingness…

This is a bummer; makes me feels down by just thinking about the fact that I have just been sitting around for the all summer…

A guy with a little bit of career and trainings…Thanks to the sucker immigration office!

I still thank my current school that gave me a legal job- tutoring…I am still lucky as an international student. I am not asking Uncle Sam to feed me. I am just asking him to let me use my skill and training without feeling like a criminal who smuggled himself to this country…

So, my answer to the question “what the hell a psychology student do?” is ongoing…

My Introduction to Psychology 8: I repeat the theme

My Introduction to Psychology 8: I repeat the theme of my writing...


What else do I say? What is the point of doing something if I miss the core of the issue?

I write due to my hunger...Hunger for articulating my thoughts....scratching on something...
divine...something...I can only pinpoint when I break the rules of English grammar and usage...

"Articulating my thought" does not sit right in me...not entirely missing the point, but a ways to go...
to go to where?

Good grief...a good soul...

My Introduction to Psychology 7: Found another writer…(Re: English w...)

My Introduction to Psychology 7: Found another writer…(Re: English writing)

Most of the time, I scratch surfaces of what people are saying (partially) because of my language thingies. But…sometimes I cannot help myself to shake (you know that I try not to overuse the term quiver…oops, used it one more time…) as I read some writings…obviously in English, this sticky, seemingly flat/colorless/odorless combination of the alphabet (compared to Asian writings, full of pictographs…)

When I find a new writer, my heart grows…my neural network clumsily copies the new style, like adopting new molecular shapes of protein…

Good luck for my soul…

My Introduction to Psychology 6: Creativity in a nutshell

My Introduction to Psychology 6: Creativity in a nutshell

When creative (mercury-like) liquid bursts, quietly, like a beginning of micro-universe, I sigh with an owe…

What a person you are…you just captured the core…did you noticed that?

Yes you did…and the very core quivers you…shakes your very ground…

You are standing on the same ground of, or at least saw the glimpse of a sphere where Taro Okamoto and S. Dari belong…

My Introduction to Psychology 5:Boyfriend, girlfriend things…

My Introduction to Psychology 5: Boyfriend, girlfriend things…

A relationship freezes a moment, cuts a piece out of it, dangles it in front of our noses to see.

Eternity...

We were friends for over six years before we entered into our six-and-one-half year relationship. And thus, when the relationship ended, not only did I lose a boyfriend, but I also lost a friend. Even though we murmured something about “staying friends”.

Thanks for the link- "Mental Nurse"

"...being a caring person probably is not enough. Mental health nursing is difficult and emotionally trying, an ability to distance oneself from another’s misery is essential." -Mental Nurse-

My Introduction to Psychology 4: "Why don't you do something else productive?"

My Introduction to Psychology 4: "Why don't you do something else productive?"

You may ask me that"Rather than doing talking therapy and not doing anything, why don't you do something more productive?" Another proper question.

Since you have been reading my writings for a while, you know that I won't give you the answers that textbooks would have given to you.

No, I changed my mind; I will give you a bit practical answer. Psychotherapy done properly helps to decrease the symptoms of clients significantly. Actually, some people would be more seriously impaired or even die without proper psychological intervention...
Let's say that psychotherapy is one of the critical ingredients of successful treatments...I don’t believe in a specific psychological theories; but every mainstream therapy school works.

My Introduction to Psychology3: Do I read your mind?

My Introduction to Psychology3: Do I read your mind?

I know that you will ask this question to me, sooner or later. And you know that I won't answer you...You didn't forget that you are talking to a shrink...

Good luck for your soul...

My Introduction to Psychology2

My Introduction to Psychology2

I write to exist…I write to tweak my tune, so it would sound genuine to me…

I write to bridge the gap between me and the others…me and the well-defined, proper, and normal…

The gap ultimately belongs to myself…inside…my façade and true self…my fake alter ego and something quivering…

My Introduction to Psychology 1

My Introduction to Psychology1

I view psychology…as a personal and intimate matter. I ask you to hold onto saying that “that is such and such approach”. As soon as you define my theoretical orientation or simply label my concepts, you might interfere my imagination…


This writing, an online textbook of introduction to psychology, is an authentic one…I will not follow the standard organization of writing in this book. Writing in fragments…you may take it as lack of cohesion while others may take this writing style as a genuine attempt to dig into the wealth of…what would I say…my core?

An inspiration/A story

I would like to limit my journal writing, for now, until I get an inspiration.
(Inspiration in this case means that a story shows itself and urges me to write about it, no the other way around.) I haven’t gotten inspiration in the last few months. I know it is coming soon…
