2 What Is A Psychologist?

What is a psychologist? In simple terms, a psychologist is someone that studies the human mind...but that is like saying that an inventor creates things, it is true but it is way more complex than that simple string of words.

Being a psychologist has never been a very desired profession for obvious reasons but the main one would be that people usually think that psychologists don't get paid the big bucks which is true, it is not as if they get paid as much as a surgeon but at the same time they get paid a very good salary as long as you look enough, as good as programmers and that is a very sought out profession because we have entered the technological age.

But the main two jobs that psychologists are known to do is obviously giving their therapeutical services to help people get out of various things but the most common is depression... at a price of course.

The other more known profession would be working at a law enforcement establishment to try to predict what move a criminal would make based on how he did his crimes or other services that they use their knowledge of the human psyche to do.

While all this is true psychology is one of the least touched upon topics in the world that has near-infinite potential but has never been chosen on the "Evolve" wheel mainly because the interest in the subject by the masses is minimal at best even though it is a subject that's potential even catches up to the likes of science because of what someone could do if they know everything about psychology.

But the same as science, psychology is a very complex field no matter how interesting it is which is sad but true.

But moving on I am a pretty normal psychologist that works in a rehabilitation hospital as someone that you know...help people with their problems which involve suicidal thoughts or other increasingly negative thoughts but you get used to it when you go to this job for a long time, kind of like how a police officer would get used to cruel sights which are done by criminals.

A common misconception that normal people think is that psychologists' only job is to analyze people which is totally not true because their jobs include if are not limited to conducting scientific studies of behavior and brain function, observing, conducting interviews, and surveying individuals, identifying psychological, emotional, behavioral, or organizational issues and diagnose disorders.

That's a pretty long explanation but it is true. Well, it's not like I have the perfect job but I get paid a decent amount especially for someone who lives alone so I am fine with it.

I don't even know why I explained that but sometimes I talk to myself in my head and it's not like I had a traumatic childhood although my relationship with my parents isn't the best it isn't that bad though I'm pretty sure its because I didn't really have any true friends that stuck with me my whole life any way I practically lived in my room so there's that but I'm fine mentally.

I snap myself back to reality and stop my inner monologue when I see a fairly normal site maybe some people walking their dog and some elderly people enjoying some of the last moments of their life but now that I think about it that sounded extremely dark but whatever. I've lived a fairly normal life not really great and I stress that my life is normal...not average which may sound the same but to me, normal is what the outside world thinks and you having the same overall life as other people like living conditions, etc. but an average life would be you have absolutely no qualities that would make you different from a cannon fodder that gets wowed by the main characters overpowered powers where the main character would face slap the young master...

Cliche but it is a very common trope nowadays especially in China but I don't get involved in China especially because it is a communist country and you have no idea what those types of people would do and I'm not invested enough in the psychological landscape to risk my life.

But unlike the main character of a Japanese manga, I'm not some otaku or an orphan or have some secret power which would make me desirable to the dark side of the world where powers are common... those are a few of the chuunibyo like fantasies I would have when I was in high school which unlike in anime and manga I did not display openly for obvious reasons.

While I was walking towards my house I saw a very beautiful rainbow-colored tinted glass which has some sort of art on it which was very beautiful, well at least to me and it's not like some adult with a life would care about missing glass enough to look for it and it's beautiful enough to display in my house but when I go and pick it up it rolls a little bit down the sidewalk and thinking about it, why is it not broken but I still chased after it because it is my impulse so when I caught up to it because I'm not that slow when I slowly picked it up at around arm's length I felt what I would describe as a vortex-like sensation...well if vortexes were real I'm pretty sure this is how it would feel like but in a more plausible explanation of how I feel it would be like my whole body is getting distorted even though I'm not feeling pain.

When I wake up I'm in this dark place I could only describe as some sort of void and I'm extremely confused right now as I should be but I suppress the panic in my heart because I know no matter the situation panic will get you nowhere but when I look around all I see is nothing but I suddenly and with no warning was unloaded with a load of memories while still being in this dark place of a boy named Ryan Coltis and see his whole life flash before my life and my personality being slowly changed into that of Ryan Coltis.

Thinking about the sensation I'm feeling I know I'm wrong about that because my personality is the same but what I assume is what happened is that all the feeling I felt towards different people in my life is the same as my family..

When I feel all my senses returning like my sense of touch and sense I see a horrific sight to the current feelings of my current body Ryan Colt and I unknowingly tear up...
