POPSWe're Unable to Read Our Own Body Language "When applied to the question of how people may gain knowledge about their unconscious self, the present set of studies demonstrates that self-perceivers do not appear to pay as much attention to and make as much use of available behavioural information as neutral observers"

POPS" "one is never really angry, about what they think they are" I have found in my life's experience that when I am angry, #1. it is always a bi-product of some deeper emotion, usually sadness, hurt feelings, or some other feeling in which touches our egos, in such a way that it almost hurts to acknowledge them. I have also found that the things that really inflame me/enrage me, always have history, if I just take the time to reflect, the outcome is so much more self-empowering. The reason that these small moments can be so powerful for me, is because I have chosen the path of least resistence, and self-knowledge, as well as acceptance of the smashing of my ego, it can be a hard pill to swallow, but it is the only path for me, I don't know may be it comes from having a self-perpetuated hard life, and getting older, THANK GODDESS for getting OLDER !

POPSExperiencing and expressing emotions (a self-help brochure) I believe by my experience that expressing emotion is a fundamental fact for staying good; the matter is how to! I like this article because is complete and clear, it points all around the subject including you and your nearest people; but the same time it's written with high and deep human sensitiveness, not in cold scientific way.

POPSA perspective on perspective In 1988, psychologists Shelly Taylor and Jonathon Brown published an article making the somewhat disturbing claim that positive self-deception is a normal and beneficial part of most people’s everyday outlook. They suggested that average people hold cognitive biases in three key areas: a) viewing themselves in unrealistically positive terms; b) believing they have more control over their environment than they actually do; and c) holding views about the future that are more positive than the evidence can justify. The typical person, it seems, depends on these happy delusions for the self-esteem needed to function through a normal day. It’s when the fantasies start to unravel that problems arise.
