Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

There is nothing more I hate than the type of person that thinks they know you because they noticed you like the color purple or some shit. I already have enough social anxiety without wondering if people are analysing my every move and judging me for it.

ohnoes

(To clarify I don't hate real qualified psychologists, I hate armchair psychologists that think reading a single internet article and noticing a pattern makes them psychology Sherlock Holmes)

Psychology as a field is already problematic because it only ever looks at things on an individual level and never a societal level. Pop psychology doesn't even bother to have a basic understanding of human behaviour before pretending to have "solved it"

Sorry, psychology in capitalist counties only looks at things on an individual level.
