Nice rhyme and excellent answers.
1. Did you know that Stevie is just an anagram for "eet svi?"
2. Has your education in psychology ever reflected difficulties you had in your own life?
3. What have you learned about psychology that helps make you own life better?
4. If Connor had a human job, what would it be?
5. Did you ever get in a fight at school?
6. Do you ever turn off your educated awareness of how people behave when they're around you, or is it always on? 6½. Do you wish you could turn it off sometimes?
1. Stevie an anagram for eet svi? Nope, I can say I surely wasn't aware of that Ryan! I don't know what I'd do with out you, I should be taking notes!
2. The difficulties I faced growing up help me to identify well with the field I've chosen, and I feel my experiences will strongly aid me in being a better psychologist, but they are not the reason I am doing this, but then again, I'm sure they contributed, as all our experiences in life add new dimensions to our decisions, choices, and paths that we set.
3. Knowing the kinds of traps that people let themselves fall into, like denial, regression, lying to one's self, etc. keeps me from doing those kinds of things. If I try to do any of those things, I am aware of what I am doing, so they don't really work anyways, lol. I've also learned what kinds of things I use as defense mechanisms and comfort clutches and such. And once you are aware of things and know this stuff, well, knowing is more than half the battle to me. You can't unlearn what you've learned ( or at least I can't) so it just makes me really self-aware and in tune with my own thoughts, actions, and reactions.
4. If my little Con-artist had a human job, he'd be a high-profile theif, lol, like the NightFox guy in Ocean's 12. He'd steal the unattainable things, and be all classy and artsy and arrogant I think.
5. Nope, not at school. A couple confrontations, but no real fights. With my razor edged tongue, there's no need for physical violence, lol.
6. It's not like I'm always text-book catogorizing people and things in my head, I don't do that. And I don't always try to find hidden agendas where there are none, I have just gotten more sensitive to reading people. I guess I don't really ever turn it off, but it's not that bad, really. I do tend to pick apart myself though, and I am constantly re-examining and challenging my thoughts, beliefs, and goals...over-analyzing everything, which can be a real nuissance sometimes. But I guess we all tend to have our own quirks!
As always Ryan my dear, keeping me on my toes!
