Been married. And divorced. May 30

As a divorced person, what was the first thing your spouse said or did that made you
realize it wasn't going to last?

Probably the most singular sign was the fact that she quite suddenly became totally
repulsed by sleeping with me.
We had stopped living together during weekdays as per her request (she needed to think),
but we still saw each other on weekends.

Although she tried to find more and more excuses to avoid physical contact, she gave in to
my self-degrading requests on a couple of occasions. But the last time she was obviously
repulsed, essentially playing dead, and hating me for it. (Now that I think about it, I think
she also said “Never again.” Hmmm.)

In hindsight she must have thought that she was cheating her lover, which is pretty twisted
if you think about it.

She also forced me to wear protection that very last time — with chocolate flavor, if I
remember correctly — on the one hand to further degrade me to the mere object I had
become to her, and on the other hand to minimize physical contact, I guess.

Symbolically, this was a deep stab in the guts, and it really showed how big the distance
between us had become, and how she was increasing that distance by the day.

Not much later, it would cease to be finite.

And there was no going back.

What are some interesting facts which are not commonly known?

What are some psychological facts that people don't know?

The Ben Franklin Effect.

Remember this dude? Princely, diplomatic gentleman with those lush steely locks? The
smoothest social badass of his time? Ringing any bells?

Ben Franklin unlocked the secret to getting other people to like you. Most of us have been
conditioned to think that the way to get someone to like us is by doing nice little favors for
them, thereby demonstrating that we are a thoughtful and dependable person. Old Benji
thought differently.

Franklin once had a very powerful political rival who was hellbent on making his life
miserable. Franklin knew that it would be beneficial to have this man on his side, but instead
of groveling for his approval, he took a counter-intuitive approach. He knew his rival was in
possession of a very rare and valuable book, and simply asked him to borrow it. After a few
days, he returned it with a thank you note and, surprisingly, his rival became his friend.

What Franklin tapped into is a well-known psychological principle known as cognitive

dissonance. Basically, cognitive dissonance is the tension that results from having two
contradictory beliefs in our mind at the same time. This stress is uncomfortable, so we
automatically alter one of our beliefs to conform with the other to resolve this conflict.

In the case of Franklin, his rival held the belief: “I do not like Benjamin Franklin.” Upon doing
him the favor, however, he was forced to come to terms with another belief: “It’s a pain in
the ass to do favors for other people, so I only do favors for people I like.” These two beliefs
are in conflict, and since he cannot un-loan the book, he was forced to soften and
eventually reverse his ill-will towards Franklin.

The secret of the Benjamin Franklin effect is this: If you want people to like you, ask them
to do favors for you.

When about to touch down, the pilot lowers a steel hook from the plane, which snags onto one of
four steel arresting cables on the aircraft carrier. These cables are incredibly strong and arrest the

that they have enough of a buffer to not smash into the back of the carrier. The craziest part is

You must have heard of the new cellphones having quad core or even octa core chips. So Octa
core processors have double the number of cores than a quad core processor. So basically it
should be twice as powerful as a quad core.

No. Not even close to it. What your cell phone company dosent tell you is the configuration. And
thats where the basic idea about the difference between a quad core and an octa core is required.

In the case of quad-core chips, each core can be put to work simultaneously on a given task,
enabling fast and smooth multitasking, 3D gameplay, and super-speedy camera performanc

I counted my years and found that I have less time to live from here on than I have lived up
to now.

I feel like that child who won a packet of sweets: he ate the first with pleasure, but when he
realized that there were few left, he began to enjoy them intensely.

I no longer have time for endless meetings where statutes, rules, procedures and internal
regulations are discussed, knowing that nothing will be achieved.

I no longer have time to support the absurd people who, despite their chronological age,
haven't grown up.

My time is too short:

I want the essence,

my soul is in a hurry.

I don't have many sweets

in the package anymore.

I want to live next to human people,

very human,

who know how to laugh at their mistakes,

and who are not inflated by their triumphs,

and who take on their responsibilities.

Thus human dignity is defended and we move towards truth and honesty.

It is the essential that makes life worth living.

I want to surround myself with people who know how to touch hearts, people who have
been taught by the hard blows of life to grow with gentle touches of the soul.

Yes, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry to live with the intensity that only maturity can give.
I don't intend to waste any of the leftover sweets.

I am sure they will be delicious, much more than what I have eaten so far.

My goal is to reach the end satisfied

and at peace with my loved ones

and my conscience.

We have two lives.

And the second begins when you realize you only have one...

Answered by

Psychology Tricks and Tips

What are interesting psychological facts about human behaviour?

1. Wanna get some attention? Stop chasing that person and start ignoring him. He'll
shower you with attention.
2. Want someone to confess something? Stop talking and stare at them and they'll do the
needful.
3. Validate the words of someone by just looking into their eyes. Mostly while telling a lie,
they tend to look away from you and smile more often than needed.

4. Intelligent people tend to have fewer friends.

5. Look at their feet while talking. If they’re not facing you, they aren't probably interested in
what you are telling them.
6. Are you sad? You can trick your mind by pretending to smile and in no time, you would
be smiling for real.
7. Your body language changes with the person you are talking to. Your body language
tends to be relaxed and flowy when you are talking to someone you like whereas it tends to
be stiff if it's someone you are not much fond of.
8. You can sustain that high level of concentration for not more than just 10 minutes.
9. Speak a line to yourself daily about what you wish to do or become. You would see it
turning into reality.

10. Your brain has more potential than you realise. Never give up on your dreams.

What are some unknown psychological tricks?

Here are a few psychological tricks that you may find interesting:

1. The Power of Mirroring: Mirroring someone's body language, gestures, and tone of
voice can create a sense of rapport and connection. It can make the other person feel more
comfortable and receptive towards you.

2. The Contrast Principle: When presenting options, strategically place a less desirable
option before the one you want the person to choose. By comparison, the preferred choice
will appear more attractive.
3. The Zeigarnik Effect: This effect states that people remember uncompleted or
interrupted tasks better than completed ones. If you want someone to remember
something, provide incomplete information or leave a task unfinished.

4. The Foot-in-the-Door Technique: Start with a small request and once the person
agrees, follow up with a larger request. People tend to be more likely to comply with the
second request if they have already agreed to the first one.

5. The Anchoring Effect: When making a negotiation or presenting a price, start with a
higher number to anchor the person's perception. Subsequently, any lower numbers will
appear more reasonable and favorable.
6. The Halo Effect: People tend to associate positive qualities with someone who possesses
one admirable trait. For example, if a person is physically attractive, others may assume they
are also intelligent or kind.

7. The Primacy and Recency Effect: People tend to remember the first and last items in a
list more accurately than those in the middle. When giving a presentation or conveying
important information, place key points at the beginning and end for better retention.

8. The Ben Franklin Effect: Ask someone for a small favor or advice. This can create a sense
of investment and liking, as people tend to rationalize their actions by thinking they must
like the person they helped.
9. The Scarcity Principle: Highlighting limited availability or scarcity of a product or
opportunity can increase its perceived value and desirability. People tend to place higher
importance on items that are rare or in short supply.

10. The Power of Framing: The way information is presented or framed can significantly
influence perception and decision-making. Presenting the same information in a positive or
negative light can elicit different responses.

Use these psychological tricks responsibly and ethically, focusing on building positive
relationships and improving communication.

Today I was in a shoe store that sells only shoes, nothing else. A young girl with a tattoo and
green hair walked over to me and asked, "What brings you in today, I looked at her and
said, "I'm interested in buying a refrigerator." She didn't quite know how to respond, had
that deer in the headlights look.

I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is when you still have something on
the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.

When people see a cat's litter box they always say, "Oh, have you got a cat" I just say, "No,
it's for company!"

Employment application blanks always ask who is to be called in case of an emergency. I

think you should write, "An ambulance."

The older you get the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat
have gotten to be really good friends.

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

Have you ever noticed: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL.

The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he knows when he's really in trouble.

Did you ever notice that when you put the 2 words "The" and "IRS" together it spells
"Theirs"

Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start
bragging about it.

Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me.

I want people to know why I look this way.

I've traveled a long way and a lot of the roads were not paved.
Ah! Being young is beautiful but being old is comfortable.

Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth.

May you always have:

Love to share,

Cash to spare,

Tires with air,

And friends who care.🤣🤣
