Everything paletti with you and your loved ones? Then these behaviors are certainly not familiar to you …
As humans, we practically get used to everything. Once we have got used to something again, we consider it to be totally “normal” and we don’t even notice it. Are we z. B. alive and well for a while, with time we forget what kind of happiness it actually is. If we are allergic to nuts, after a few weeks we no longer notice that we always check the list of ingredients first when we go shopping and inform the service staff in the restaurant when we order. In a similar way, unhealthy behaviors and habits can creep into our lives, which we may not even notice at the beginning, but after a while. Spooky, right ?!
But luckily we live in the 21st century and there are “Reddit“where therapists and psychologists also write their burdens off their minds – and let us know which behaviors many people consider to be no longer questionable, although they are definitely from a psychological point of view …
Psychologists reveal: 7 warning signs that many consider “normal”
1. All for one
“If everyone in a family feels responsible for keeping a certain family member happy or building them up, that’s not healthy. Everyone is responsible for their own feelings. It is nobody’s job to make others happy.”
2. Problem avoidance
“Unhealthy problem-coping strategies. For example, drinking frequently to relax, or smoking heavily. Something like promiscuity can also be a warning sign that someone is distracting themselves so they don’t have to deal with something that is stressing them out.”
3. Child fights
“When children run away or often fight each other, it is often dismissed as ‘normal’ – but it is not!”
4. Silence
“When someone withdraws and no longer communicates with others, something is usually wrong (not always, some are quieter than others). If a person speaks little and is very calm even in the presence of their closest confidants, they should be best Talk to an expert to be on the safe side. I’ve met people who literally fell silent because they were mistreated, and silence has always been one of the clearest symptoms. I also know people who are in an impeccable environment live but simply cannot communicate due to extreme fears. “
5. Mood swings
“If a person’s mood changes frequently or regularly from one extreme to the other, that is at least worrying. Sometimes such people are simply recorded as eccentric or their moods as hormone-related, but in fact mood swings can indicate many different problems, from bipolar disorder to towards post-traumatic stress disorder. “
6. Self-sabotage
“Self-destructive behavior can make life very difficult very quickly. Anyone who has experienced something that has put a lot of strain on them and realizes that they often behave unreasonably and act illogically should seek advice from an expert. You don’t have to have a specific disorder or diagnosis to ask for help.“
7. Procrastination
“The inability to act, i.e. the inability to do something that needs to be done, is one of the main symptoms of attention disorder. If other symptoms occur (impulsiveness, impatience, mood swings), a doctor should be consulted.”
