Do you believe me?

I'm trained in Psychology.

And because of this background, I'm able to see many things one may not be able to. And that frustrates me because I'm termed as 'sensitive' when at times I'm indeed correct.

I do admit I can be sensitive at times. But not all the time. Because of my sensitivity, I'm even more quick to pick up many things others are not able to. Body language, tone of voice, etc... But now, I slow things down, think and analyse and confirm my hypothesis only when the incident repeats again.

There are many things I can understand objectively and explain in plain emotionless manner to people's behaviour. But many who do not know my background do not seem to believe me. And I hate to repeat to everyone that I'm Psychology trained.

Those days in training were the best days of my Uni life (besides my Club activities, of course). I was exposed to many things and theories not many would have experienced. It may not appeal to some, but they were indeed good exposure to my personal development. Having been through training autistic children, understanding children psychology and development, going to the Institute of Mental Health to work in assessing the mentally ill patients, and understanding personalities, I think my life is more complete than just having the $. And I'd certainly want to use my training on my kid(s) in the future.

I'm happy that some now understand why I react to certain people in certain ways after they experienced it themselves. It doesn't matter that they only see it years later.

But fear me not. I do not have the ability of mind reading or hypnosis....Yet. Haha.
