Human psychology - internal features that distinguish one person from another.
Each of us has our own characteristics: a different amount of memory and a different reaction rate, since childhood, boys love to play with cars and fight, girls play with dolls and slander, with age, we all change values and interests.
Human psychology includes his abilities, skills, including managing his emotions, his worldview, attitudes and beliefs, his self-image, his goals and values, character and temperament , needs and such different feelings ...
"From below" human psychology is determined by the genetics of a person, the structure and pattern of his body, "from above" - by the social environment in which a person socializes, from where he takes patterns of behavior that somehow builds and educates him.
Human psychology is also the internal causes of human behavior, making it go beyond logic, expediency or reasonable social expectations. When a person's behavior is rational and expedient, fits into the social framework and logic, the question of psychology is not raised. It is not lifted by people with a business approach. For people who love to talk about psychology, there is always a reason for this.
And when something does not fit into the rational, when states, feelings and other unpredictable internal features begin to influence a person's behavior, a conversation begins about psychology - human psychology.
Human psychology can be studied scientifically (this is what psychology as a science does), or it can be described mystical, esoteric, or simply worldly: then we get a mystical, religious, worldly psychology.
For a large number of people "psychology" is a favorite pastime. Such people who are keen on psychology are looking for psychological content and psychological background where there is no “psychology” at the level of common sense.

Summing up the year, you must understand that there are things that you simply need to let go, because they are too difficult for you. So let them go. Get rid of this overwhelming burden together with Bemorepanda!
And since the New Year is already on the doorstep, it means that the perfect time has come to refocus energy and attention on the right things. I believe that now is the most favorable time to get rid of all the negative, wrong moments that are present in our life. Don't you agree with this?
So, today we challenge you to this!
Here's what to do before the New Year:
1. Let go of the negative. Never do something stupid just because you are upset.
2. Let go of petty grievances. Life is too short to waste on heartache and constant delusions. If there is someone in your life that deserves a second chance, give them one. If you have to apologize, do so. Start a new happy page in your life.
3. Let go of the thought that someone is better than you. If the grass looks greener on the other side of you, stop staring at it. Stop comparing. Stop complaining and start watering the grass you are standing on.
4. Let go of all false thinking. From time to time we stop and ask ourselves, "Is this really true?" It's funny how we can wrap our thinking around things to accommodate our version of reality. Moreover, it does not always correspond to reality; moreover, desire does not always materialize. Control your thinking. Be wise. When you do not adequately perceive things and situations, it can lead to the fact that you start looking for approval in the wrong things.
5. Let go of old ideals. Growth and change are painful. But nothing is as painful as prolonged stagnation.
6. Let go of yesterday's tragedies. You are not what happened to you before. You are who you are going to become. Let go of the unnecessary burden, take a deep breath, and start again. You will know that you are on the right path in life only when you learn not to look back and begin to strive to confidently take the next step.
7. Let go of your quest to avoid problems. You cannot change what you refuse to resist.
8. Let go of minor irritants. Don't let the little things break your happiness. Frustration and stress are not caused by things, but by how you react to them. Adapt your attitude and you will get rid of them forever.
9. Let go of the perception of others as more “normal” than you. Only those people are normal that you don't know well enough.
10. Let go of restraint and inaccessibility. We must all learn to be more human. Don't avoid eye contact. Don't hide behind things. Smile often. Become more open. Learn other people's stories.
11. Let go of the thought that some people are inferior to you. Even if you have achieved your position through hard work, you must remember that a person cannot succeed solely on his own. Someone believed in you, someone encouraged, maybe sponsored you. Be grateful for this, do the same for others. What you give is what you ultimately receive. No one has yet achieved success and respect against the background of the weaker and those who are lower in status and position. Do not be lazy, try to draw conclusions about people from their life history. Be humble. Be open and human. Be good neighbors.
12. Let go of the thought that you are physically dependent. You are an incredible person, completely separate from what has been physically acquired in this world. Remember to stay humble. Ultimately, there are only two things that define who you are: your patience in times of excess, and your attitude in times of self-sufficiency.
13. Stop wanting what you don't really need. Don't get hung up on cost, pay attention to content. And remember, it’s always easier to find wealth in need of less than to do more and more for your material support.
14. Let go of the search for happiness outside of yourself. In life, you need to create your own light, from which happiness will begin. To do this, start every morning by reading something positive, spend the whole day positively. Keep your attention only on positive things and opportunities, only in this way will you feel sublime due to the fact that you are doing great and good deeds.
15. Let go of the urge to receive gratitude for every action you take. Don't worry about what you get from each action. If you do something good for others, there will certainly remain a lot of usefulness for yourself. You were born with the ability to change someone's life. Don't waste this opportunity. Please. Be someone who matters.
16. Let go of all lies for the benefit of salvation. How do you gain trust? It's worth starting with honesty and diligence. Keep your promises. Ask for forgiveness if you are wrong. Become the one with whom you yourself would like to communicate and spend time.
17. Let go of all hypocrisy. If you don't pray when all is well, there is no need to pray when you feel bad.
18. Stop putting other people's needs ahead of your own. Give as much as you can afford; don't let yourself be used. Learn to hear other people's troubles, but do not be completely absorbed in them, denying yourself something.
19. Stop distrusting your intuition. Fear kills more dreams than a failed attempt. Don't let fear shut you out of opportunities. Do something every day that you previously feared. The more you fearlessly trust your intuition, the more it will live up to your expectations. Pay attention to all your feelings, listen to your inner voice.
20. Stop hoping for a lucky star to change your life. Remember, you don't always need a perfect action plan. Sometimes you just need to try, let go of all doubts and watch what happens. Just do the best you can until you know how to get something perfect. Once you start trying, you will have great success.
21. Let go of the need to do everything at once. Continue forward. The true goal has no time limit. Don't beat yourself up. Just do what you can now.
22. Stop thinking that success is all or nothing. Appreciate the space between the two extremes of success and failure. Appreciate everything that happens in your life: what you learn, how you help others to learn, how you grow, participating in all sorts of processes. Most importantly, don't let success cloud your mind so that failure doesn't creep into your heart.
23. Stop criticizing yourself. No one is inspired by your suffering and self-critical comments. If you want to inspire yourself and those around you, radiate joy. Have fun. Love, forgive and accept yourself. Get rid of the apologetic tone forever.
24. Let go of those who think you are not attractive enough. Note that there are many more women with anorexia and bulimia than those with breast cancer. The same statistics are present among men. Love yourself as you are, because only in this way can you become even more beautiful.
25. Stop changing just to please others. Change just to get better and live a better life. Change only for your own benefit.
26. Let go of the thought that everyone has a responsibility to love you. One way or another, some people won't like you no matter what you do. Try not to pay attention to this. What they think and say is purely a reflection of them, not yours.
27. Get rid of all negative influences. You will not feel good until you get rid of negative external influences. Be with those you feel comfortable with, not the other way around.
28. Stop thinking that giving up unpleasant things and relationships is your failure. Giving up and moving on are two completely different things.
29. Let go of the thought that it is too late to start and figure things out. Remember, it's always better to get on the first rung of the ladder you want to climb than just wanting to the top without doing anything.
30. Stop procrastinating. Stop just planning, start taking action. Do what is necessary today and tomorrow you will be where you dreamed.

Instead, we will share with you 40 psychological facts that will convince you that love is an amazing feeling.
About love from the point of view of psychology
1. Most people fall in love through eye contact. And this happens within the first 30 seconds. Love at first sight in action!
2. Heart and truth can be broken. Research has shown that major traumatic events—breakup, divorce, physical distance, or the loss of a loved one—can cause real physical pain in a person’s heart. This condition is known as broken heart syndrome. It occurs when deep emotional triggers upset the brain and weaken a person's heart, causing symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath. Generally, the syndrome is more common in women than in men and can be mistaken for a heart attack.
3. When we look at a person we like, our pupils dilate by 45%. It makes us more attractive.
4. A person gradually falls in love with someone with whom he spends a lot of time - for example, a classmate or colleague. This psychological phenomenon is known as the exposure effect. Thanks to it, people tend to be attracted to each other depending on the time spent together.
5. People are more attracted to those who are as attractive as they are. This is called the matching hypothesis. Many social researchers point out that people choose their partners or romantic relationships according to a certain pattern.
