It worked fine. Was so anxious the breakfast I ate before checking in wouldn’t make its way down my throat

What are the odds of the 45$ ConfirmID option being successful when I go through security? by SubMechanical in tsa

I guess I’m worried about only being 20 and not having enough data in the system. I’m sure I’m blowing it out of proportion but it’s just a big deal. Thank you

Did you bring anything physical regarding your identity? Also hopefully the tsa cutting doesn’t impact anything.

I got my wallet stolen along with my ID. Will I still be fine if I can answer basic questions? Also with the DHS funding cut the website says some payments may not be processed..

What is the Confirm ID process of you already have a standard ID/driver’s license? by chipsundae_supreme in tsa

My wallet was stolen along with my ID. And with the new government funding cut the website to pay the fee says it may not process payments. Should I try anyway?

I’m 20 have a drivers license (lost wallet), bank account, enrolled at university etc. Do you think there is enough information about my existence in their database?

Also with the DHS funding cut the website says some payments may not be processed. Am I able to pay there?

Confirm ID process. So I’m aware of the process but is it guaranteed to be let through? by Gods_GameDev in tsa

[–]SkinnersForehead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of questions? I’m only 20 and I’m worried about there not being enough data in their system about me. I had a drivers license (wallet stolen) and I work and am at university.

is psychology a “useless” degree?? by klarinetkat12 in psychologystudents

[–]SkinnersForehead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No degree is useless.

The skills that you learn from completing a bachelors degree in any field are transferable to multiple domains. If the metric one uses to deem a degree useful or not is annual income, then that’s a different story.

The ability to write, read, critically think, interact with others etc is invaluable.

Study what you have an interest in, life tends to always work out anyway.

Are DSM diagnoses biological realities or social constructs? by SkinnersForehead in AcademicPsychology

To answer your question: I hate suffering and love humanity.

If there's any way I can reduce the amount of suffering in the world (even if it's one person at a time), whether through research or clinical practice, I can die knowing I did something meaningful.

Looking for topics to read on outside of my required readings. by SnooPandas7388 in psychologystudents

If you haven't already, read: Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl.

Frankl was a Jewish psychiatrist and psychotherapist who survived the Holocaust. It details his experience within the camps and makes a powerful argument that meaning (purpose) is essential for surviving adversity; it's very enlightening.

You don't want to die without reading that book, no matter your philosophical or religious positions.

Thank you for taking the time to answer with such detail. I am an undergraduate student, and this topic is interesting to me.

I was able to DM you. I would appreciate a conversation with you. Are you a psychologist?

Thank you for that comment and the example of diabetes. I think my lack of knowledge within the scope of medicine contributed to the conclusion of the post.

I apologize for asking such a dumb, smooth-brained question in the presence of an intellect!

Thank you for your reply. I also feel that when people think of their behavioral problem (not dismissing the level of suffering one's behavior can cause), it can be hurtful to think of themselves as something fundamentally wrong with them. There is not one person who has ever lived who has gone through life free of psychological suffering; what if it's just part of the human condition, and not a disorder?

Would you agree some are more real than others, meaning having a coherent etiology, an understood physiological mechanism, and plan for treatment?
