25 human-psychology facts you must know:

1. When you feel like you're low on something (like money), you obsess over it.

2. Decades of research now show that talking to yourself in the third person—also called "distanced self-talk"
— can help in emotional stability, self-control, and even wisdom.

3. At home, men will also act instinctively, by taking the side of the bed closest to the bedroom door - the symbolic act of defending the cave entrance.

4. Humans tend to think more about their losses even if they won more.

5. We tend to believe others pay attention to our behaviour and appearance much more than they actually do. This is called the spotlight effect.

6. "Spending money to show people how much money you have is the fastest way to have less money." - Psychology of money by @morganhousel

7. If the first tear comes from the right eye, that means happiness,
If it comes from the left eye, that means sorrow.

8. Men just wanna go home and watch sports or something. They hate shopping.

9. Men value things, women value relationships.

- Will it kill me?”

Food, Sex, or Danger - From reptiles to people.

16. People who hide their feelings usually care the most

17. Creative people and imaginative people are good at picturing the worst that could happen.

18. Humans are bad at managing emotions, not time. That's what Procrastination is all about.

19. The human mind spends most of its time replaying memories over and over with the desire to relive them. Let go of the bad ones.

20. Tell someone that everything will be great and they’re likely to either shrug you off or offer a sceptical eye. Tell someone they’re in danger and you have their undivided attention” - Read this in “The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel”
