http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2009/10/06/one-thing-i-still-dont-understand/ Dr. John Grohol's daily update on all things in psychology and mental health. Since 1999. Sat, 26 May 2012 02:27:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2009/10/06/one-thing-i-still-dont-understand/comment-page-1/#comment-634717 Gabby Mon, 12 Oct 2009 20:53:35 +0000 http://psychcentral.com/blog/?p=6157#comment-634717 I always thought that great–healthy-confident minds are not afraid to show their own humanly “nagging” problems. Reading everything on that link I had the opportunity to tell to myself that I am not loosing my minds if it happened to answer with what was on my mind and not “on subject” or I hardly express myself! I am using English as a second language and mostly in the last 8 years. Therefore I am still puzzled of NAGGING about …“remain optimistic about being optimistic” (wonder how you can deal with such a LOGIC!) and “positive-thinking” when nagging “about being well on track” with weight problems! (“Some theorists, like my friend Roy Baumeister, believe that self-control is a general trait. (…)I am well on track to my goal. So self-control is for me highly domain specific. For you?) Maybe he is nagging about me! We all write sometimes without thinking and I understand that it’s better not to get over anxious about; I really appreciate when someone at least is talking, writing something,telling "his mind" I have to force myself! Meanwhile I will not consider myself crazy getting lost in thinking funny things (richard-wiseman-wit) like matching that “optimistic” with “positive thinking”!  Thanks to John M Grohol for another valuable insight and encouragement!
