I’m sure many of you caught the 2009 movie, He’s Just Not That Into You. The movie proved to be entertaining and down-right hilarious, not surprising at all, especially with such a star-studded cast including Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson, Ben Affleck, Drew Barrymore and Justin Long.
This film basically teaches us what signs to look out for to tell if a guy is a jerk is not interested in you. From a lady’s perspective, I’ll now tackle the signs that spell out: She’s not that into you.
10. She’s Always ‘Busy’. She tells you she has to baby-sit, walk the dogs, take care of her grandma, or whatever it may be. If she is interested in you, she will make time for you.
9. She Doesn’t Reply Your Text Messages Self-explanatory.
8. She Doesn’t Facebook you. Girls are generally very into Facebook-ing. They simply love it, and if they don’t Poke you, write on your wall, mention you in their status, or worse still add you as a friend, then you better give up.
7. She avoids any form of physical contact with you. She clearly draws the line between friends and more-than-just-friends.
6. She’s Not Easily Amused Girls have a tendency to giggle a lot when they are with a guy they like. They are enthusiastically interested in everything you say, they will laugh at all your jokes. But if you don’t get a response from her, it could only mean that she couldn’t care less.
5. She Talks About Her Crushes & Other Hot Guys She probably doesn’t care about how you feel. And after all, she’s probably more in love with these other guys than she is with you.
4. She Never Introduces You To Friends or Family If she sees you more than just a friend, she’ll be more than excited to show you off to her friends and let you meet her parents.
3. She Just Can’t Be Bothered. You forget her birthday, an she just laughs it off. You arrive one hour late, but unlike how a normal girlfriend would act, she simply tells you off and forgets about it.
2. She Talks About Her Ex-Boyfriends A girl who really likes you would know her limits. She wouldn’t want you to feel any sense of insecurity, and she’ll want to send the right signals to you to let you know she’s interested.
1. She Isn’t Very Lady-Like. She’s not embarrassed if she ‘accidentally’ burps in front of you, nor does she practice any discretion with her language. You may even find her talking with her mouth full of food. And one thing you’ll notice is that she doesn’t bother dressing up for you.
Here is a countdown list of 10 very unique mental disorders, which are not commonly discussed in society or in the media. Some of these may shock you.
All mental disorders are of course no joke at all for the sufferers and should be taken seriously. If you know of anyone with such symptoms, please do seek professional treatment immediately.
10. Synaesthesia
Synaesthesia is a neurologically phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway, in other words, numbers can be perceived as having color, or words (such as the days of the week) can be perceived as having personalities. Many people with synesthesia use their experiences to aid in their creative process, and many non-synesthetes have attempted to create works of art that may capture what it is like to experience synesthesia. Here is a description of the disorder by one synaesthete: “I realized that to make an R all I had to do was first write a P and draw a line down from its loop. And I was so surprised that I could turn a yellow letter into an orange letter just by adding a line.” In a more bizarre twist, sufferers might mix sound and taste so that different noises might have a taste. It may be wise for synaesthetes to avoid the brown sound.
9.Oniomania
Oniomania is commonly referred to as compulsive shopping, compulsive buying, shopping addiction or shopaholism. Victims often experience moods of satisfaction when they are in the process of purchasing, which seems to give their life meaning while letting them forget about their sorrows. Once leaving the environment where the purchasing occurred, the feeling of a personal reward has already gone. To compensate, the addicted person goes shopping again. Eventually a feeling of suppression will overcome the person. For example, cases have shown that the bought goods will be hidden or destroyed, because the person concerned feels ashamed of their addiction and tries to conceal it.
8. Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania or “trich” as it is commonly known, is an impulsive control disorder or form of self-injury characterized by the repeated urge to pull out scalp hair, eyelashes, facial hair, nose hair, pubic hair, eyebrows or other body hair, sometimes resulting in noticeable bald patches. It may seem, at times, to resemble a habit, an addiction, or an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Trichotillomania often begins during the individual’s teenage years. Depression or stress can trigger the trich. Some people with TTM wear hats, wigs, wear false eyelashes, eyebrow pencil, or style their hair in an effort to avoid such attention.
7. Piblokto
Piblokto, Pibloktoq or Arctic hysteria is a condition exclusively appearing in Eskimo societies living within the Arctic Circle. Appearing most prevalently in winter, it is considered to be a form of a culture-bound syndrome which is a disorder (usually both mental and physical) which occurs in a specific culture or community. Symptoms can include intense hysteria (screaming, uncontrolled wild behavior), depression, coprophagia (poo eating), insensitivity to extreme cold (such as running around in the snow naked), echolalia (senseless repetition of overheard words) and more. This condition is most often seen in Eskimo women. This syndrome is possibly linked to vitamin A toxicity because the native Eskimo diet provides rich sources of vitamin A. Similar symptoms have been seen in Westerners with vitamin A toxicity.
6. Dissociative Identity Disorder
Dissociative Identity Disorder is the disease formerly known as multiple personality Syndrome. It is a condition in which a single person displays multiple distinct identities or personalities (known as alter egos or alters), each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment. The diagnosis requires that at least two personalities routinely take control of the individual’s behavior with an associated memory loss that goes beyond normal forgetfulness. There is a great deal of controversy surrounding the topic, with some therapists considering it to not exist at all, despite the fact that 40,000 cases were diagnosed from 1985 to 1995.
5. Nymphomania
Nymphomania is an uncontrollable urge in women to have sex. Sex addicts are unable to control their sexual impulses, which can involve the entire spectrum of sexual fantasy or behavior. Eventually, the need for sexual activity increases, and the person’s behavior is motivated solely by the persistent desire to experience the sex act and the history usually reveals a long-standing pattern of such behavior, which the person repeatedly has tried to stop, but without success. Eventually, the sexual activity interferes with the person’s social, vocational, or marital life, which begins to deteriorate. When a man has an uncontrollable urge to have sex, it is called satyriasis.
4. Depersonalization
Depersonalization is a disorder in which the sufferer feels that they are living in a dream world; it is the feeling of watching oneself act, while having no control over a situation. It can be considered desirable, such as in the use of recreational drugs, but it usually refers to the severe form found in anxiety and, in the most intense cases, panic attacks. Often a person who has experienced depersonalization claims that life “feels like a movie” or things seem unreal or hazy. Also a recognition of self breaks down (hence the name). Depersonalization can result in very high anxiety levels, which further increases these perceptions – a snowball effect. One way to describe the physical manifestation of the feeling is to compare it to a film technique called the vertigo shot or dolly zoom. In this technique, the subject of the picture stays fixed within the shot while the surrounding background is pulled away, providing a sense of vertigo or detachment.
3. Jumping Frenchmen of Maine
An individual with this disorder has a genetic mutation that prevents “exciting” signals in the nervous system from being regulated, which causes a number of bizarre irregularities in their startle response. Most notably, an event which might startle a normal person will result in an extended, grossly exaggerated response from a “jumper,” including crying out, flailing limbs, twitching, and sometimes convulsions. Because a jumper is almost immediately susceptible to another jump soon after an episode ends, there have been reports that sufferers are sometimes teased mercilessly by people who find the reaction amusing, and trigger it repeatedly. Another curious abnormality caused by this disorder is a sufferer’s automatic reflex to obey any order that is delivered suddenly. For example, if one uses a sharp, quick voice to order a jumper to throw the object in their hands, they will throw it without hesitation; if they are similarly told to strike a person, they will strike that person, even if it is a loved one.
2. Coprolalia
Coprolalia is involuntary swearing or the involuntary utterance of obscene words or socially inappropriate and derogatory remarks (this should not be confused with Tourette Syndrome which is usually signified by physical and vocal tics – not just coprolalia). Involuntary outbursts, such as racial or ethnic slurs in the company of those most offended by such remarks, can be particularly embarrassing to the sufferer of coprolalia; the phrases do not necessarily reflect the thoughts or opinions of the person. Surprisingly, this disorder is often treated with botox near the vocal chords which helps to reduce the volume (but not the quantity) of outbursts. Related disorders are copropraxia, performing obscene or forbidden gestures, and coprographia, making obscene writings or drawings.
1.Wendigo Psychosis
Wendigo Psychosis is a mental disorder in which a person intensely craves human flesh and thinks they are turning into a cannibal (despite an abundance of healthy food available). The most common response amongst the aboriginal communities in which wendigo psychosis was most prevalent, was curing attempts by traditional native healers or Western doctors. In the unusual cases when these attempts failed, and the Wendigo sufferer began either to threaten those around them or to act violently or anti-socially, they were then generally executed. While some have denied the existence of this disorder, there are a number of credible eyewitness accounts, both by aboriginal communities and by Westerners, that prove that Wendigo psychosis is a factual historical phenomenon.
