10 Mind-Blowing Psychology Tricks That You Won’t Believe!
Let us begin. 1. Fewer Choices Are you unsure? Do you struggle with making difficult choices? Consider the following scenario: you’re in the market for a new mattress for your bed. You visit a mattress store and try on a dozen different mattresses before deciding which one is right for you. You may be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of available options. Fortunately, there is a simple trick you can use to make more informed, intelligent, and timely decisions. The majority of people are incapable of making a choice because they provide themselves with an excessive number of options.

10 Things I Won’t Forget After Listening to People’s Problems for 7 Years. Top Story - December 2021.
“When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.” — Ernest Hemingway I will never forget the lessons other people taught me by confiding to me their problems. For the past seven years, I’ve had a section at my blog titled “Dear Joyce” where I offered to listen to people who needed someone to talk to. While I have not officially been a life coach, I had that precious opportunity to know people better, deeper. By entrusting me with their concerns, I have gained much more than I have ever thought I would.

Some of My “Inappropriate Accidents While Living”
I was aware there was a likely reason for doing and saying so many of the things I did and said relatively early on. My parents told me I was an early talker. I now know that what my 6th grade teacher called my inappropriateness was a characteristic many of us on the Autism spectrum are blessed/cursed with. In almost every instance, I was blissfully unaware that I had said or done something “wrong.” (If you can practically feel me using air quotes, it’s because I still don’t understand why most of the things I said or did were considered wrong.) I also don’t believe that these that these inappropriate accidents while living are characteristic only to those of us with autism. I’ve encountered many neurotypical people who say and do pretty much the same kind of things that I’ve said and done, but with none of the shaming of inappropriateness. (This discrepancy has been explained to me as those people just “being honest” or “telling it like it is,” to which I always find myself asking “why isn’t that what I’m doing?”) I guess the question of appropriateness depends on which kind of person says or does the thing. I know which kind of person I am. If you’re sitting there, reading this and asking yourself which kind you are, then I’m sorry but you’re a Natalie…you’re a me…you’re an us…you’re not just being honest or telling it like it is…congratulations…you’re inappropriate.
