So, I'm majoring in psychology.  That should be evident from the title.  Yet, I feel like people confuse me more than when I was still in high school and had only taken psych 101.  Originally I liked reading things about abnormal psych and personality psych.  I liked sociology and social psych, but now I'd rather just study concepts, and I find working with people and working with rats equally undesirable.  DX  It's like figuring out that there are possibly 3 variations in behavior, only later to figure out that each has 36 conditionals attached

Because not everyone fits into the same generalizations and categories. Plus, often times the more you learn, the less you feel like you know.

I majored in psych and realized I didn't give a shit about human behavior my sophomore year.


Linguistics ftw

I'm studying psych too. It's alright. You just learn to see things from a different, more indepth perspective

People are complex. To answer your question in the title.
