Have you ever psychoanalysed yourself... ?

Do you actually know WHY you dislike people doing certain things?

I dislike people swearing at me because my dad did. I also find that people showing signs of frustration drains my energy for 2-3 days. My mom always displayed signs of frustration before she became physically abusive.

These two things may seem very minor but I just wondered if there are other trivial things that annoy people because of their own personal history.

Is is normal to even have these hang-ups?

  • Sometimes; every time I do it I come to the conclusion that it's a damn miracle I've only seen a therapist twice in my entire life.

    I psychoanalyze everyone, myself included. I think it's normal and very healthy trying to understand why you are the way you are and act the way you do. However, our own understanding of ourselves is likely to be limited and potentially flawed as well. Even professional therapists see other therapists because it's impossible to get around their own blind spots.

  • I'm always analyzing myself just to see what I appear to a common person. Thing is that people usually view you differently than you view yourself.

    Oded here, like I have stated in another comment previously, we are all controlled by our inner consciences to like what it likes (and that includes dislikes), to live by how it lives in a virtual setting we all call life. So yea, totally normal

    Oded....out

    Absolutely all the time. And I wonder about others, too.

    You definitely should try to overcome your childhood trauma. Think of all the adult life trauma you'll have in the years to come -- gotta be ready.

      I'm sure they'll take advice from... ah, 'pussyeater'.

  • I'm always in touch with why I feel the way I do. It's a good way to be. It helps you take charge of your fears and emotions.

    All the time, in a sort of subconcious way. A lot of the time it is hard to tell if I am just making connections where there are none, as humans so often do, or correctly analysing my situation.

    I always want to know why I do what I do. I wonder if I'm actually nice or if I'm just seeking people's approval. Working out that I don't actually give a stuff what people think of me has been a really positive thing. It told me I'm nice to people because I want to be.

    This is the positive side, and there are many negatives, but yes - to answer your question - I do it all the time.

  • Once in the 1790s but I did not enjoy it.

    It's good though you can recognize the origins of your quirks. Many people look but never see.

  • I dislike liars because I've been lied to many times. I dislike nasty food because I hate that horrible taste of disgust in your mouth. I dislike Rap because I'm too much of a Pink Floyd fan. I dislike physical pain because I had surgery when I was 9 and I've also been in several physical fights. I dislike bikes because I don't know how to ride one. And I was going to say something else, but I'll keep it to myself.
