Forget Feminism...Psychology it is...............
I know i'd talked about feminism, but i know that post will come eventually but until then, here's some thoughts i had today.
A woman asked me today generally about school, she was a nice woman and as usual i was willing to answer any questions she may have had. She asked me what subjects i do...and i always answer in the same order "ICT, Media and Psychology" i guess my interest in each subject has ranked them that way even though that 'ranking' should have changed, i've said them so much in this order that i've got used to it. On that last note...psychology, this is the one that seems to take people back a bit when i tell them...they almost look twice and seem a little confused and i can tell they're about to ask 'what?!' ...i've had various responses to it, some ask what it's like, some almost think that someone who looks as silly as me can't honestly be studying such a 'complex' subject (it's not as complex as people let on for it to be) and then there's the people who look scared. Right at the very moment when i say psychology, i look them right in the eye and i see fear.....i guess it only makes sense, I'M looking them right in the eye and it's amazing how strange a combination that is...the word 'Psychology' with eye contact...it amused me at first, but after seeing it happen more than once i began to realise that maybe people have a reason for this.
I've always made a lot of eye contact, a lot more than i see people usually making with me...i don't know if my eyes are scary or if people just don't like making eye contact these days at all. Back to my intial point...i think people have this fear of being judged or 'analysed' as it would be better put...and when i naturally make eye contact with people and say i study psychology, they have this fear that i'm analysing them and they start looking away and making shifty movements etc.......................and you know what, they're right haha i have been analysing them :D and so they have every reason to look away.....but what i don't understand is the reason to look away, why are they so scared of being analysed? do most people hide what they have? do i just make more eye contact than i should? ....... i'm gonna give this some more thought.
