Psych Time

I never expected a yellow bathtub duck to become one of my favorite psychological concepts. I was having an intense discussion on this topic with my friend over a phone call. I was familiar with the terminology of this rubber duck but what it actually was, I was unable to put forth in a psychological way. As a person, who spends 95% of his time alone inside the room, I decided to think on this topic and share my opinions or insights. So lets buckle up.

Has it ever happened with you? You go to bed after a long tiring day and these countless thoughts come back to haunt you. You start talking to yourself all of a sudden in the bed itself, giving justifications and imagining the mistakes that could have been corrected. I have read somewhere that whenever a thought haunts you, you write it down on a piece of paper, and then you burn it down. Well I don't play with fire. I decided to write down my thoughts in a blog post. Right here. Hopefully I will sleep peacefully today... Because instead of talking this stuff to myself, I am trying to experiment it by talking, I mean writing it here...

  As per Shakespeare's quote in one of his plays (If I Am Not Wrong) "To be or not to be - That is the question", I have kept the blog topic.  Hello, fellow readers to this new blog post. Today we are speaking about a topic to which a typical introvert personality will relate more than other people. People who don't want to mix up with others and prefer to take matters into their own hands. Yes, that is what Lone Wolf means. I am sure you must seen this image every where on the web, be it in the form of memes or whatsoever. To clear doubts, being Lone Wolf is not like being an animal (Just Kidding). Let us have a look at the formal definition from Google on this topic. The fact that being incorporating this kind of personality is not an easy task. It has its own disadvantages. But what makes it a good trait in a person, is how you cope with the challenges encountered while being a lone wolf. Let us have a look at the potential challenges people with these personalitie...

 Being visible doesn’t just mean posting on social media or being loud in meetings. Visibility is about showing up with intention , making your values, ideas, and contributions known. This thought has been constantly crossing my mind over the past few weeks. It further amplified when I spotted someone's WhatsApp status like this: Let’s get straight to it. In this world, it’s not enough to be good . You have to be seen as being good . People don’t reward effort. They reward exposure . People don’t remember the silent genius in the back. They remember the one who spoke up, showed up, and made an impression, even if that impression was just louder confidence with less competence . (Quite frustrating, isn't it?) If that pisses you off, good. It should. That anger? That’s your inner potential getting sick of your own silence.

"Ah!! There you are again." What do you make up of this tone, the user is annoyed to welcome you. But this is not the same case with me, as I am here to welcome fellow readers and let us talk (blog) on a very general topic. A topic which most of the people in the world face. It is none other than "What will others say??" A Harsh Reality Check: Let me emphasize a thing. I have been with multiple people, of course, each with a different personality. We have to live life with the person accordingly after analyzing or should I say "reading" his/her mind. Let me discuss a few examples of people. 1) A person who has strong opinions Some people I met had a very strong opinion about a particular thing. The fact that it is so strong that they never admit its shortcomings. We must have observed this kind of person everywhere; in fact in each of our friend circles. Such kinds of person never change their opinion. They don't tend to think about their group's o...
