Being a Gerontology major I have learned so many different social behaviors. I hope to share my insight with you, so maybe you can help change the negative thought patterns that we have.
A scientifically based test to judge your cognitive age. Don’t worry it’s only fifteen quick questions.
Adult Baby and Baby Adult
“Age is just a number”, we coined that term but what does it mean? I always thought it was a way for older people to justify being with younger people.
When using the phrase in an appropriate form, it mostly is just a number. The couple are not chronologically the same age but mental energy and maturity are on the same frequency. We all learn different things and have different lives.
Chronological age is simply the number of years you’ve existed on this planet. In some countries, it’s the day you are an embryo and in others, it’s after labor. Nonetheless, it’s still the same digit. It’s summed up by subtracting the current year from the year that you were born.
A persons cognitive age can signify your level of maturity and intellectual behaviors and knowledge. The concept of mental age was first introduced by Alfred Binet who developed the first mental age test in 1905. Binet’s theory laid the foundation for the intelligence quotient (IQ) tests that are widely used today.
It’s not unusual for somebody to have a different cognitive age versus their chronological age. It was initially thought that the average mental age of adults was sixteen!— but was later found to be about thirteen and a half years old.
Here’s an example; a person who’s forty years old may have a cognitive age of fewer than that of a thirty year old. Reversely, someone who’s thirty may have a mental age of sixty years old.
We’re all unique. Maybe now you’re a 25-year-old who likes to go to bed at 8:00 pm and rise with the dawn. It doesn’t mean you won’t ever change up your style. Or a 56-year-old who likes the nightlife, partying until dawn and sleeping until noon. It’s not to say people can’t learn. We can all learn. We can make ourselves younger and older whenever we please.
No matter your age — chronological or mental — embrace it, manipulate it, experience it, and love who you are.
Now a few Q&A and the link to the the quiz we’ve all been waiting for. Thank you psychcentral.com Gina Ryder January 2022 article
Anyone, this quiz is a time-saving questionnaire designed for anyone looking to find out their cognitive age. This will help you determine whether you may have a more young attitude towards life or a more grown-up one.
This online screening is not a diagnosis or an official evaluation of your cognitive age.
It’s a fun tool to help you discover whether or not your mental age is the same as your documented age.
Your score doesn’t necessarily reflect your mood, intelligence, or behavior.
Maintaining a younger cognitive age doesn’t mean that you’re childish or immature. Likewise, if you have an old mental age, it doesn’t mean that you’re too uptight or aged.
In general, most people young adults- mature adults will have a a score of fewer than thirty years old. If you’re concerned or have questions, consider talking more tests or speaking to your doctor.
I bet if you could challenge yourself to read this every morning and soak it in, you might find your priorities need a tune-up. Maybe even your friendslist
My goal is to help you get clarity with the clutter and focus on your life’s mission which will free up all of your time to be who you are meant to be, live with more energy, vitality, and passion, and feel less like a hamstring injury.
There is no way to “cheat” the system when it comes to adult education
God
Make sure you strategically plan the lessons you need to be done for the week on
the right day. If the laundry room is packed on Monday nights, then do Laundry
on Wednesday. Plan your outfits if you can. Don’t stress. Get yourself a watch with
a timer, and make sure you know your three jobs before starting.
-Grocery shopping: 35-45mn 1. Get pop 2. Get dairy 3. Get paper towels. Tackle
those aisles first. Use the remaining time to shop for the rest. Shopping can cause anxiety for a lot of people. I am not good with math or deals, so it’s easier for me to
use Amazon Fresh or Walmart.Com to get my groceries where I can boldly see the
values on the app right in front of me. Getting things for sale, discount, or on
clearance is the best way to go. Everything ends up cheap at some point.
-Working: split-shift 5 hours: tasks for that day. Human beings are most effective
within the first 6 hours of the waking day /work shift. It’s entirely possible to have
a four-day workweek or a 5-hour workday. It’s about making sure the time spent
at work is just ON work. We wouldn’t need to be at work for 8 hours if everyone
did their jobs adequately and promptly. Studies show that we perform better with
fewer hours and more vigilant work, and shorter workweeks. You don’t need to sit
at your desk and doodle; that’s unproductive.
-If you work from home, SET A SCHEDULE. Change it up however you like.
Sometimes I work 9 pm-3 am. It’s about making sure you get Quality sleep, at least
5 hours of daily work, and enough days off.
-Every week, you should significantly improve your career journey and your
mental one if you adhere to reading and improving emotional intelligence tasks.
-Nothing is a more notable waste oflife than misusing your time. Days are limited,
life is changeable, “if you’re bored, then you’re boring.” If you avoid all your tasks,
then perhaps you aren’t on the correct career path, aren’t taking advantage of your
work time, or are not organizing your priorities. If you’re at work, you should do
something anyway instead of staring at a screen; it might as well be helpful.
-Zero to do. You can always read. Except, of course, you understand absolutely
everything about everything, then you’re fine. I don’t know anyone who knows
everything about everything but never say never. I don’t know everything; I don’t
think you do, either. Teach yourself something. Be your educator. If you aren’t
thinking critically, it’s because you don’t feel like you’re performing essential
obligations. At the end of each day, if all duties are finished, measure how you
think. If you see negative consistencies in emotions, you need to change
something in your life.
IMPORTANT
If you are sad every day and can’t figure out why, look at who and what you did
that day and what made you upset. If you have no real reason, it could very well be
that you aren’t satisfied with your career. To be happy, one must feel like we are
achieving something, going forward, and helping others. If you don’t think or feel
these three things, you’re likely growing close-minded and have already
considered a more worthy career path. I can’t tell you enough that you need to quit
your job if you hate it. 365 days (about 12 months) = 1 year. Do you have how many
good years are left? One second shouldn’t be wasted doing things that don’t help
ANYONE, including you.
Stop blaming other people for your problems. Even if someone is wrong, it doesn’t
matter. Blaming people is saying you have no intention of fixing this problem. You
want to vent and have someone else take care of it. This causes drama. No one is
ever going to agree with you completely, and everyone has different opinions. If
You want to go far in life; sometimes, your best-confined friend is yourself.
Don’t let others step on your goals before you’re done creating them. If you’re
positive you want to try a new career path, and you know deep down you can do it,
then do it without the approval of others. The result and your success will show for
themselves. Keep your ideas to yourself. It sounds counterintuitive to what we’ve
been told, but too many opinions weighing in often results in nothing getting
accomplished. By you, at least. Someone else might take your idea in the
meantime.
A Different Way to View Your Conversations;
Become Trustworthy to Someone
If a co-worker or friend is speaking to you or telling you a story about their life. Sit dora, shut up. and do
the following
Third-party perspectives: if you were a bystander seeing yourself, what do you
think? This lines up with empathy. To communicate effectively, you genuinely
need to take yourself out of your shoes and put them in a stranger’s. The third-
party perspective is usually used when interacting with others. What three things
should you do in every interaction?
Listen, like. Don’t think about what you’re going to say until that person has said
their piece. We can understand information and process it over TWICE as fast as
we can speak. It’s easy to interrupt people, but you can’t. You don’t understand
their end goal, so don’t race with them to win the conversation. They have their
intentions and their reasons for even telling you everything they’re telling you.
Don’t volunteer advice except if asked. Don’t advise if you don’t know the answer.
Google is at the palm of your hands for every conversation.
Take a couple of seconds to register whatever message was given. Can you
sympathize with this character? How would you feel if you were them? That
doesn’t mean apologizing for everything. It means equaling a human and sensing
what others may be undergoing (only enough to be effective) over sympathizing
is not productive. (Remember, you are NOT that person, and it is ISNT happening
to you, but be considerate, as if it could and were happening to you. It makes you
a better listener and conversationalist. We can all identify with certain emotions.
Most people at any given time feel Happy, Sad, Worried, Anxious, Angry,
Depleted, Thrilled, or Emotional. Think of times when you have felt that way; it doesn’t even have to be the same situation, just the same feeling. -Note in your
mind that they are experiencing that exact feeling right now. Everyone in this
world has feelings unless noted by a psychiatric professional. You might not want
to talk to those people at all.
Now you’ve listened and you’ve decided how they feel, you have recognized how
that feeling might be sitting with them by remembering a time you felt that way.
You have been assessed as a third-party stranger; now you can think of your
response. Try to keep conversations under 3 minutes; if you don’t know what to
say- admit that, or don’t say anything. If it’s concerning work, make sure you are
correct with your answer. Don’t act, just do.
Do just that in 3 minutes. Spending too much time on everyone is as bad as
spending no time with someone. If you have one hour to talk to 2 people. Be fair;
get to the point without being brash.
IF YOU DON’T KNOW SOMETHING, DON’T
PRETEND YOU DO.
Reading a sentence in a book about a subject does not make you an expert. It makes
you dangerous. Most often, there are more to issues than we just want to read
about. You can’t stop Kujo before the ending, or you will see the movie differently
than it is.
Pretending to be an expert on something or acting like something you think is a
fact when you aren’t sure if it has one name: Lying.
When someone seeks advice and gives them advice that’s not proper, you could be
leaving them in a dire situation or causing harm to them.
It drags out the issue and confuses everyone.
How to tell a client you don’t know something without seeming unintelligent or
ignorant.
Phrases that I find helpful:
“I apologize. I don’t want to give you a Non-answer I truly don’t know the answer
and need to do x, y, and z to get you the answer you need.
“I can see how frustrating this is to you, and I empathize. I want to make sure Im
guiding you in the right direction, so I need to consult with x, y, z to be helpful.”
Would it be okay if I call you back or if I contact you a little bit later? I want to
investigate this more so I can make sure your situation is handled properly.
IN A DISPUTE
Do not raise your voice or swear, and don’t allow others to yell at you or swear. It’s
not acceptable or right whether at work or home. Swearing is a sign of stupidity
and a lack of proper education.
Would you please not swear at someone or tell them they are unreasonable? Ask,
“how can I help this situation? How can I help you.
Tell the person as calmly as possible that you do not tolerate or help people if they
are swearing at you. To avoid saying that if it’s terrible, do a quick brb and get your
manager because you cannot fix this at that point.
With, if you try every method, you’ll end up back at the beginning. There is no way to
“cheat” the system when it comes to being productive and developing good. The only way
to cheat is to do it the right way; most people don’t consider this. Practices are EASILY
built if they are correctly structured and have achievable milestones and an achievable
completion date. Everything else is just an idea or a thought. Turn that thought into action
by taking the first step. The very first small step.
The Taco Talks; Alternative View- Ditch War. It Kills.
“War is fighting to die.”
I thought on that one for a minute…
Why would anyone need to kill someone else furthermore get a star for it? Such shit would fuck me up(too)
Honestly, imagine It’s like, “here’s your badge of honor, sorry we made you kill a man who in a different country is someone to people as well as you are. Is it that far off from watching the second hunger games? Some of them weren’t even born when 9/11 happened. Is it OUR fault for trusting the government blindly?
Yes, 100% yes. If you had thought about it as the 20-year-old kid about to go to Iraq or Afghanistan because he dropped out of college and had no career options left, you might not really want to go murder someone.
Now, imagine being a mother or father to a sweet one-year-old. Now fast forward eighteen years, and “the military,” which was just an option, has become a mandatory round of Call of Duty for your child, your baby. Is this your fault? Yes. It bothers me that you didn’t think about what would happen if things didn’t work out. Guess what? It turns out that literally, NOTHING we ever knew was right, but we still make kids murder kids and then report it all over media. Like, start a fund- go to Haiti, stop posting about shit you don’t even know about, and get the fuck off your phone.
Now, imagine being the Taliban family or isis-k, and you’re 20 years old. You literally have never had a choice. You might have had great friends at school before military camp, but really, you weren’t even given a fair chance to experience life before some dumb American comes and blows your head off.
American Soldiers Prepare To Leave After 20 Years

Adios Kabul…
Like really? REALLY?
And everyone’s like, “yeah. it makes sense. Let’s vote for Kanye next.” also! Defund the police and make guns available to babies. I love the NRA (Not Right Americans).
So there is your daily dose of empathy. When you think about war, no matter the cause of the war, there really should NEVER be a feel-good to MURDERING someone. Way to go, traumatize yourself and your kids. Put the guns away and pick up a fucking book.
P.S if you wouldn’t jump off a cliff when johnny did, why would you murder another human because some old man told you it was right?
The point of this article is to explain an alternative perspective to war in general. It doesn’t matter which country is fighting, what war is what started it or what wants revenge. It’s about the fact that we treat our lives SO seriously that we end up killing each other. Meanwhile, half of the world is on fire, and the other half is underwater. We are basically stardust, a bunch of gross rock minerals, and water, so yeah- we shouldn’t just feel “safe” when the weather acts like this.
For those who genuinely have “transcended” or got woke- whatever, you know what you know, and all you can do is explain it. Good luck, might as well just watch the news and shut your mouth–you will never win an argument about politics unless it’s getting graded.
Most people don’t understand the psychological trauma and damage that being in or evening witnessing or knowing someone in a war is like. I don’t know what it’s like. I don’t have a kid. I have a nephew, and he doesn’t believe in guns, “It was not for him,” smart kid.
YOU HAVE ONE JOB,
YOU HAVE TO SURVIVE. DON’T MAKE IT SO FUCKING HARD.
If you’ve ever lost anyone, you know what every mother country, culture, and father is thinking in every part of the world. The same thing you are, “What the fuck.”
NO DISRESPECT TO THE ARMY, NAVY, MILITARY, ETC. I have MAD respect for soldiers because they choose to put themselves in front of the bullet to get up and Instagram our food all day. I appreciate that they are so utterly noble to their country that they WOULD put their lives on hold and go to war, so we don’t all have to.
I don’t know any of you, I don’t know the president, and I sure as shit am not going to go to war ever, even if I’m drafted. You’d have to kill me standing there. I also refuse to go to jail, so good luck carrying my fatass to prison when I don’t go murder some other person my age. Busy, thanks, though.
The scary thing about all of this and these empathy posts is that I truly believe Americans are the kindest people ever as a nation. Honestly, a lot nicer than most of my Canadian friends and fam. The problem is not enough Americans have been taught to think for themselves and do the things in life that we learned in school, but for PLEASURE, not for a passing grade.
If knowledge is power, and nobody is actually fact-checking things or hearing both sides of the story, they contribute to a nation of morons glued to the blue light screen on their blood money iPhones. That’s a post for another day. It’s called Empathize with a child who makes your cocaine or gets killed.
This post was entirely factual for me; it’s my blog and my position. If you don’t like me, shoot me.
Just kidding. I’m proud of you for
READING!!!! THANKS!

noxious PERSONALITIES AND ATTITUDES THAT ARE SELF-HARMING
The Toxic World of Self-Help: Hustle Culture, Toxic–
Definition of noxious
1a: physically harmful or destructive to living beingsnoxious wastenoxious fumesb: constituting a harmful influence on mind or behaviorespecially: morally corruptingnoxious doctrines2: DISAGREEABLE, OBNOXIOUSthis noxious political scandal— H. L. Ickes
Noxious positivity assumes that one should protect a definite mindset no matter how terrible or challenging a circumstance is. It’s a “genuine vibes” show to grow. Furthermore, while there are gains to living an academic and interlocking positive and concrete and reasonable life, infectious positivity sooner recants complex emotions in favor of a happy, naturally lousy period.
It’s not brand-new that positive thought; excellent mental health, indeed binds hand and hand. The significant predicament breathes that growth isn’t forever definite. We all bargain with distressing sensations and experiences many times during our lifetime.
While often bothersome and challenging to barter with, certain troubles mean acquiring proper treatment also well-being skills. To “not handle” your problems competently presents to others a “cluttered-minded person: a cynic.”
The attitude stated earlier doesn’t only accentuate the importance of virtue; it also rejects all traces of individual perceptions that aren’t stringently fit or positive.
Classes of Noxious Positivity
Noxious positivity can convey itself in a deep assortment of models. Some cases yourself may have confronted in your private living:
If something terrible befalls, such as losing your employment, personages inform you to “just stay positive” or “look on the sunny side.” While before-mentioned judgments usually mean to be compassionate, they can too exist as a method of shutting down anything you might need to say regarding everything you are feeling.
After undergoing any disaster, people say that “everything happens for a purpose.” While people usually get such comments because people think they act supportive, it is likewise a method of evading someone else’s hurt.
If you show frustration or melancholy, someone says to you that “happiness is a choice.” This hints that if you feel cold emotions, then it’s your individual decision also your liability for not “wanting” to be content.
The before-mentioned accounts are frequently well-intentioned but dangerous. By their most salutary, so comments appear off being hackneyed truisms that allowed you off the hook, so you don’t have to allot with separate people’s emotions.
At their worst, these remarks end up disgracing and condemning somebody that is continually dealing with difficult circumstances.
Noxious positivity denies people this genuine aid that all require to cope with what they are fronting.
How? It’s Dangerous
Noxious positivity can hurt somebody that is going through challenging times. Rather than sharing actual individual sentiments and growing positive support, people see their emotions discarded, overlooked, or downright invalidated.
It’s dishonoring: While someone is hurting, people need to understand that their sensations are real, just that everybody can find comfort also love toward their companions and people. However, noxious positivity shows that the sentiments all are believing equal wrong.
It creates offense: It sends a note that if you aren’t obtaining a way to feel positive, even within the presentation of disaster, you are doing something incorrectly.
It bypasses genuine individual sensation: Noxious positivity practices as an escape tool. While different personalities mesh in that sort of style, it empowers them to shun sensitive circumstances that might cause them to feel awkward. But sometimes, we utilize those same ideas individually, internalizing these toxic ideas. When we feel difficult emotions, we then discount, dismiss, and deny them.
It hinders fullness: It enables us to withdraw from feeling anything that might signify depressing, yet it additionally disallows us this capability to withstand challenging feelings that can eventually begin to grow and more in-depth insight.
The “positive vibes only” mantra has become particularly grating to many in light of the COVID-19 global pandemic. During the pandemic, people have faced illness, lockdowns, shelter in place orders, business shutdowns, working from home, homeschooling challenges, job loss, and financial struggles.
People are faced with massive disruptions in their lives and pressure to stay productive and be positive during a traumatic and challenging time on many levels.
According to the 2020 Stress in America report by the American Psychological Association, 46% of American adults with kids under 18 report high-stress levels during the pandemic.1
It is possible to be optimistic in the face of difficult experiences and challenges. But people going through trauma don’t need to be told to stay positive or feel that they are being judged for not maintaining a sunny outlook.
Signs
Toxic positivity can often be subtle, but learning to recognize the signs can help you better identify this behavior type. Some signs include:
She was brushing off problems rather than facing them.
She was feeling guilty about being sad, angry, or disappointed.
You were hiding your true feelings behind feel-good quotes that seem more socially acceptable.
Hiding or disguising how you feel.
They are minimizing other people’s feelings because they make you uncomfortable.
They are shaming other people when they don’t have a positive attitude.
Trying to be stoic or “get over” painful emotions.
How to Avoid Toxic Positivity
If you’ve been affected by toxic positivity—or if you recognize this kind of behavior in yourself— there are things that you can do to develop a healthier, more supportive approach. Some ideas include:
Manage your negative emotions, but don’t deny them. Negative emotions can cause stress when unchecked two, but they can also provide important information that can lead to beneficial life changes.
Be realistic about what you should feel. When you face a stressful situation, it’s normal to feel stressed, worried, or even fearful. Don’t expect too much from yourself. Focus on self-care and taking steps that can help improve your situation.
It’s okay to feel more than one thing. If you face a challenge, it’s possible to feel nervous about the future but hopeful that you will succeed. Your emotions are as complex as the situation itself.
Focus on listening to others and showing support. When someone expresses a problematic emotion, don’t shut them down with toxic platitudes. Instead, let them know that what they are feeling is regular and that you are there to listen.
Notice how you feel. Following “positive” social media accounts can sometimes serve as a source of inspiration but pay attention to how you feel after viewing and interacting with such content. If you are left with a sense of shame or guilt after seeing “uplifting” posts, it might be due to toxic positivity. In such cases, consider limiting your social media consumption.
Permit yourself to feel your feelings. Instead of trying to avoid difficult emotions, permit yourself to handle them. These feelings are real, valid, and meaningful. They can provide information and help you see things about a situation you need to change.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that you should act on every emotion that you feel. Sometimes it is essential to sit with them and give yourself the time and space to process the situation before you take action.
So when you are going through something hard, think about ways to give your emotions the voice in a productive way. Write in a journal. Talk to a friend. Research suggests that just putting what you are feeling into words can lower the intensity of those negative feelings.3
“Toxic positivity is often subtle, and we’ve all engaged in this thinking at one point or another. By learning to recognize it, however, you’ll be better able to rid yourself of this type of thinking and provide (and receive) more authentic support when you are going through something that isn’t easy.
Start noticing toxic statements, strive to let yourself and others feel your emotions, both the positive and the negative. “
When deciding you’ve had enough, quitting Adderall or its equivalent will involve you and everyone around you to show and establish the most helpful thing, a support system, to begin with, is to educatemyfamilyand me on withdrawal, Adderall’s chemical compounds, and what this stimulant medication does to my brain and body.
The first thing I learned was my brain has to learn how to produce dopamine and serotonin on its own, and during this process, I will behave upset, on edge, and anxious. I also knew that I had likely destroyed my output for my adrenals, which contributes to sleep/wake processes, so fatigue in the beginning and bouts of insomnia about six days into drying out would be expected.
Last but not least, I had a fear that my metabolism may slow down without Adderall speeding things up, so I wanted to make sure I was on top of my weight management. When I read further into it, Adderall contributes to slower metabolism if used as an adult, long term.
