Emo: Good or Bad?

I have just attended my first creativity lecture yesterday and I realized that sometimes people tend to regress to increase their creativity temporarily. So, I am starting to see the link between why I find the Emo me more creative. It's probably because when I Emo, I regress and let lose my Id. So, in that sense, maybe being Emo is not that bad?

But, I think it's probably possible to control the regression, though the results might not be as good as genuinely letting lose of your Id.

I feel that life now is not eventful and can probably be deemed as stagnant. Of course, not being a fan of changes, naturally I avoid being happening by nature. But, I decided to just throw myself at adventure itself by going to KL alone next week. I can come up with tons of reasons for the decision, but I think the bottom line is I needed sometime alone, to think.

What about? I don't know. Maybe during or after my trip, I would have an answer. I guess this may be what some call finding oneself? Maybe I felt that there was a need to re-look at myself and get things straight.

It hurts when it is around, but you miss it when its gone.
It's a game of contradiction, but never know who's playing.
All you want to know is how to get started, but the rule book was never included.

Social Comparison - Continued

As promised, I will talk about the Social Comparison question that I posted. In any case, you are probably more normal choosing A under the Social Comparison theory. Because, people tend to compare upwards and it makes them unhappy. So, since you were given a chance to be happy, you would be more likely to choose it. For those who picked B, you are probably just very logical in seeing that B has a higher value, or maybe you are just more practical. Haha...

In any case, this was carried before and majority of the respondents picked A. So, I didn't decide on my own to say people who picked A are normal.

Hope you like this little piece of Psy fact. Till next time ~

Social Comparison




I just finished my assignment and submitted it awhile ago. Now, I am waiting for my iPhone to finishing sync-ing. So, here's a little 'test' I came across while doing the assignment.

Choose 1:
World A - You earn $50k while others earn $25k
World B - You earn $100k while others earn $200k

I will talk about this on the next post.
