I just read this in fb and people categorizing themselves- I'm like this/I'm like that. Maybe there is truth about in this list but for sure not in general. By the way, those in parenthesis are just my opinion. ¤ When A Person Laughs 2 Much Even On Stupid Things, Be Sure That Person Is Sad Deep Inside. (maybe just crazy) ¤ When A Person Sleeps Alot, Be Sure That Person Is Lonely.(or maybe he's just lazy, like my brother) ¤ When A Person Talks Less, And If He Talks, He Talks Fast Then It Means That Person Keeps Secrets.(or maybe he's the auctioner of storage wars) ¤ When Someone Can't Cry Then That Person Is Weak. (or just not soft hearted) ¤ When Someone Eats In Abnormal Way Then, That Person Is In Tension. (or maybe anorexic) ¤ When Someone Cry On Little Things Then It Means, He Is Innocent & Soft Hearted.(or could be an actress/actor) ¤ When Someone Gets Angry On Silly Or Small Things It Means He Is In Love. (or could be just short tempered)

None of these are accurate. Every person has his own agenda and reasons why he behaves in a certain way. We can't tell for sure unless we know the person personally. Although I can see that some of these are possible and applicable to some people.

Sometimes we classify people from first impression and maybe the author of the list didn't have the chance to examine closely the people he/she met and just jumped into these conclusions according to what he/she sees and feels.

Yep. I can tell these are based on opinions. Psychology is very complicated and it's hard to measure the accuracy. Though it is very interesting. One thing for sure is, we can never generalize. Everyone is different. Of course, anyone is welcome to share their opinions. it's up to the people who read it if they believe in it or not. I thank you for sharing these interesting tidbits of info. They may come in handy in the future. I think many people are easy to read.

Hello Mavic, as usual you never failed to make me laugh. I'm not great in psychology, only in copy-paste, I copied this from fb. I didn't knew you're also the person I'm putting in the parentheses, I was thinking about me and my brother while typing the words. Very well then, welcome to my box!

Hi VernaC, I have a keen interest in Psychology and I believe it as one of the toughest fields to be a master of. You need to understand others and sometimes not by what they want to show but by what they do not want to show. As a Psychologist you should have patience of listening to even the most frustrating ones on this globe. In your post, I loved the way you have quoted these examples. And I in a sense feel yours views worth listening to. In fact your understanding of the situation is what it usually occurs and therefore they do not deserve to be in parenthesis as they more often than not are the real reasons behind the situation. On the other hand the reasons what have been mentioned are actually meant only to make the viewer a broadminded person. Broad minded in sense that if he encounters someone with these features, he should wait for a moment before concluding the most obvious reason behind him acting in this manner. “They certainly may not be the obvious reasons but, they may ALSO be the reason at times”. I hope you agree with my words. Any review is welcomed.

I would say this kind of knowledge helps you to put a quick label on somebody, because there are more chances to be like the majority, than be an exception. This kind of shortcuts can help you when you have to take some decision assuming the other will behave in a certain way, but knowing a person means a lot much more than this. Still... this examples... I don't think they talk about a majority. I mean, from my personal experiences, lonely people have, in a lot of cases, a strong relationship with their work, so they sleep less. And crying is just a way to express some feelings and comes, for a lot of people, as unavoidable.

This shortcut could also help us how to interact to a stranger.

Your opinions are as valid as those you got from fb vernaC :)) In life there are always exceptions to everything, so generalization is sometimes not accurate.

That sounds crazy. Well i don't think that Teri our the words our sentences can completely define a person. People just experience some things only once or twice and starts thinking that they are like that. That's really disgusting. What you say...

Good morning Verna, I am a happy, outgoing person with a sense of humor. I am an optimist. This is the best way to categorize me. I hope you are well. Have a great day!
