Why are young people more prone to psychological problems now?

Because of the prevalence of the Internet and the explosion of information in this era, in addition to making people's life, entertainment and social interaction more convenient, everyone is forced to receive a lot of junk information that has nothing to do with themselves and is difficult to distinguish between true and false. The human heart is an emotional response machine, and as long as it receives information, it will produce corresponding emotions.

However, people's nature is actually full of insecurity, and they don't care too much about what makes them happy, but they will always remember the information that makes them angry and unhappy, and they can't get out. Just like some fake fortune tellers want you to spend money, they have to sue you for mass annihilation. Tell you that you won the lottery tomorrow, you may not believe it or ignore it, but tell you that there is a disaster this year, whether you believe it or not, you will probably pay him to eliminate it.

In fact, on the material basis, young people in this era rarely starve to death because of poverty, and generally can reach the level of eating and wearing warm clothes. But the environment, especially the network environment, has publicized too many things that have nothing to do with him now. It is often hypothetical things that cause people's psychological problems. Things of others thousands of miles away, things that will happen in the future, or denial and attacks from others make people sit at home, but feel sad, angry and anxious because of what is happening all over the world.

Obviously, many young people have never really experienced anything, just because they have received a lot of negative information from others and have a psychological breakdown prematurely. The psychological collapse leads to the fear and hatred of the world, which makes him even more afraid to contact the real outside world, but endures the crazy growth and silent fermentation of those distorted parts in his heart. This is the so-called dead end.

To make matters worse, you will receive a lot of news every day. Anything that catches your attention and annoys you is actually a dead end waiting for you to drill. Our life is actually full of traps, and there are emotional eddies everywhere. Algorithm deduction under the network environment, personal attention concentration, self-suggestion, etc. , all decide that once people fall into the pit, it is difficult to get out by themselves and eventually get deeper and deeper.

If you want to avoid those traps, you can try the following idea, which I personally call "overlooking the scenery":

When you encounter any information that makes you have negative impulses, don't rush to take action (such as swearing, arguing, or getting angry), and don't let yourself follow your emotions. But for the time being, separate yourself from this energy field and analyze it from the following aspects:

1. Who released this information? How credible is it?

2. What makes the publisher say this? What kind of purpose does ta want to achieve?

3. What kind of influence will this message bring to you? What kind of impact will it bring to the environment?

4. What if it doesn't matter? If so, how much and how?

5. Understand that "human resources sometimes run out", you can't do everything yourself, and you can't let the world develop according to your own wishes.

6. Carry out the "sense of personal significance" and do what you think you should do, but don't be determined to win.

7. Carry out "self-management thinking" and know that your life and energy are limited. If you want to do something, you must take the most utilitarian and convenient way, instead of wasting time in a way that has little effect; If you are not going to do something, don't do it from beginning to end, and try to put an end to meaningless attempts.

8. Give up the naive idea that "people will understand each other". Don't feel ups and downs because of "why". And "How could this happen?" Think of things you don't like as "objects" and "phenomena". Don't be angry because the object appears in your world, but think about how to treat, treat and use this object to ensure that your life will not be affected.

9. Learn the list, organize and think about the answers regularly.

The list can follow the thinking mode of "phenomenon-the authenticity of the phenomenon-the reasons for this phenomenon-the influence on oneself-how to treat it-how to treat it", and even think and do things with conspiracy theories, with less linear thinking.

10. Know what you can do even if everything is the worst possible.

At least, it's okay to eat and wear warm clothes, play games, sleep and have time to do what you want. If even this is a problem, you should think more about "how to achieve a problem-free life".

Psychological problems are not entirely based on personal reality, but more factors are influenced by self-suggestion and others, which is a major feature of young people's psychological problems in this era and the reason why more and more young people have psychological problems in this era. If you want to jump out, you have to look down from the sky all the time, summon more thinking, doubt and rationality, and then put your sensibility into your own absolutely safe field to entertain yourself, use your instinct as little as possible, and avoid stepping into the ubiquitous emotional gloves.

The sound of the blade is scattered, and the water is broken. This is the best time and the worst time. If you want to live well, you have to be a saint.
