Questions on human behavior
Hi, I’m currently doing a study on human behavior. If you could take the time to answer these questions - honestly - it would be much appreciate. 1. What is the most human response to stress? In general, how do people deal with stress? How do you deal with stress? 2. If you’re in a relationship and your significant other cheats on you how do you react? Do you just become bitter and angry or do you just feel incredibly sad? Do you feel a combination of both: you feel resentful towards that person and then later on become depressed because your relationship with them did not work out? 3. When you feel alone and isolated how do you respond? How would others respond to the feeling? Do you hide that you feel lonely or do you make it apparent that you are? Do you feel sad at the same time or empty? Is sadness and emptiness the same thing? 4. In your opinion, which is more difficult: understanding yourself or understanding others? 5. Is it hard for you to be confrontational? Is it hard to ask for help from others? Is it difficult to even talk to people for you?
1. I can't say what is the most human persay, but I can tell how I deal with it. I completely shut down. I honestly can't deal with it and just procrastinate. 2. If someone cheated on me that just says that I'm not good enough to satisfy their needs. It's completely my fault and I should better myself. If I ever am in a relationship I don't try to hold it against another person if I'm boring. 3. If I feel isolated my mind races to try and get attention. But I usually try and hide it to prevent being a bother to others. I sometimes feel empty, it's a weird feeling, but sadness and emptiness are very different. Emptiness is akin to nothing. While sadness is sad. 4. Understanding yourself. You have nobody to guide you. 5. Yes, I don't want to annoy others so I keep issues and problems to myself so that I don't alienate people by seeming needy.
1. From what I've seen, the most human way a person who would react to stress is by just, relaxing, doing their hobbies and being chill. 2. No answer, no experience with that. 3. When I'm alone or isolated, I actually take it as its good, sometimes I talk a lot, and sometimes I like being alone, its quite relaxing because you don't need to respond to everything. 4. Understanding others, people have a lot of different preferences, understanding yourself should be quite easy in my opinion. 5. It is definitely hard for me to ask for help, I always attempt to push through and do it myself, I found out that for me, I hate asking help from teachers, it feels like they're guiding my hand around. I don't find it hard to talk to people, I'm very sociable.
1. Pretty sure anyone would just stop what they're doing and just go do something else. Personally, I play video games or just lay down. Heck I even draw to take my mind off of things for a bit. 2. I have yet to be in a relationship, but I would definitely be sad if that were to happen. I'd then proceed to loathe myself and think about what I could have done better. 3. When I feel alone I just start thinking to myself about other things or people. I do my best to not make it apparent because I'd hate for someone to go up to me to ask me if I was okay. They probably have good intentions, but I would be super embarrassed either way. Sadness is different from emptiness as at least with sadness you have something. Emptiness is more like when nothing special is going on, I think. 4. Both are equally difficult. Sometimes I do things that really don't make sense even to me. Understanding others is just as hard since you don't know what they are thinking. 5. I do not really confront people about things since I would like to avoid fighting. Heck, when I saw a girl get mocked by her classmates I just walked by trying to ignore it. I'm still PISSED about those guys and myself for not punching them or something at least. I do not think it's hard to ask for help, but I avoid doing it unless it is work-related. Talking to guys is not so hard. Talking to girls makes me feel nervous since I'm probably gonna sound like a dumbass to them.
1. Stress usually comes from tasks that require a lot of effort, so maybe relaxing or taking breaks is a good response to stress. I handle stress that way by doing things I like while doing homework, like playing games at the same time. 2. I haven't been in a relationship yet, but I'd probably feel mad about how they betrayed me. It takes a lot for me to get close to someone, so all my effort that results in my partner cheating on me would destroy me. 3. It really sucks feeling isolated when my usual state is being alone. I enjoy having time to myself without having others interrupt me, but knowing that people are deliberately ignoring you is gut wrenching. It even applies to when they don't realize it, so if you bring it up they respond with guilt and apologies that are eventually forgotten and the cycle continues. I think sadness is different from emptiness, as sadness is a feeling after something bad happens. Emptiness is the result of prolonged periods of loneliness that can't be fixed quickly. 4. Other people. You never know if someone is lying directly at your face. 5. Yeah, it's hard to be confrontational. I never confront something that doesn't concern me in the long run. Asking for help, however, is slightly easier because I know that it will benefit me in some way. I think it's difficult for others to talk to me because if they surprise me, I have no idea how to say and I can't think at all. Interesting questions, they really bring out the negative aspects of myself (not that I'm saying that's a bad thing).
