    im currently 17 and from India. i wish to be a psychologist and help people live a little easier too, but im also sorta introverted so those first assessments sometimes sound a bit daunting to me, having to make someone feel comfortable with you when you know nothing about them. but this video cleared up a lot of my doubts and i feel much better about doing this in the future. its inspiring and informative. you were so articulate and empathetic, i really feel at ease now and cant wait to learn more and be able to help people one day. thank you so much.

    I am binge-watching your videos, really interesting and helpful!!! I'm an undergraduate psychology student myself and thinking to take this path as well. However, I have a question: what topics you would suggest to focus on, and what did you find unnecessary? Sometimes I feel that some material is not so useful and question myself whether it is worth to spend hours studying. Thank you a lot in advance!!

    • @thepsychdiaries
      @thepsychdiaries  3 года назад +11

      Totally! To be honest the ones they make you do as the core subjects are probably the important ones, but in terms of clinical skills you learn all of that in masters. In undergrad I would strongly recommend choosing electives (e.g. cognitive psych, social psych, personality psych) based on what interests you!

    I reckon that more and more people see psychologists nowadays because real friendships and relationships are becoming ever more rare! There is an increasing trend of 'friends' who just want to hear good stuff and have fun and for you to listen to their problems not the other way around (utilitarian materialistic relationships- capitalist mindset?). Once you start sharing your thoughts and feelings something always comes up, an excuse, that cuts the conversation short! The most silly thing is that they think this is not noticeable. Why not tell your friend how you feel and what you think on certain issues? Cliché but sharing is indeed caring!
