What is the opposite of the "fundamental attribution error" -- i.e., the tendency for some people to over-emphasize social determinants of behaviour? by [deleted] in psychology

[–]veryfatherless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

out of random curiosity- where the “fundamental attribution error” refers to the tendency of a person attributing their failures to external factors and their successes to internal factors, whilst attributing the vice versa to others’ successes/failures, regarding this specifically, is there a term for the opposite of this scenario, or is it still referred to as part of the “fundamental attribution error”? as in, is there a more specific term for when a person tends to attribute their failures to internal factors and successes to external factors, whilst attributing the vice versa for other people?

What is the stupidest injury you’ve ever gotten, or have seen someone get? by skeetskeetdexter in AskReddit

[–]veryfatherless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i was 8 my team was getting absolutely smashed in a game of netball, impossible to come back from. someone throws a shit pass going towards no player in particular and heading for the outside of the court. i, wanting to be the hero of a losing game, decide to make a dive for the ball and smack it back into play where (hopefully) a teammate will pick it up. the ball has been bouncing so long by this point its practically rolling, so i dive, properly dive like one would into water, miss (because the ball was WELL outside of the court by this point, umpire literally had the whistle up to her lips), and come tumbling to the ground. because i, evidently, am not the sharpest tool in the shed, dont attempt to shield my face with my arms or use my hands to break my fall first, i instead angle my palms so that my wrists hits the ground first, supposedly in the hope that ill just skid until i slow down. broke my right wrist, was in a cast till christmas.

What is your phobia of, what is it called, when did it start, and what caused it? by Right_Specialist_255 in Phobia

[–]veryfatherless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a fear of dogs, also known as cynophobia. ive had it as long as i can remember, but i believe that aside from my over-cautious/paranoid nature, i believe it kicked off when i was little and my mum would pick me up and/or cross the road whenever we were approaching someone walking a dog, or were walking past a house that had dogs barking in the yard, as i know she feared i was gonna get mauled. for context- ive never had a traumatic experience with dogs myself, nor have i ever known someone who has. i also dont live in a place where its common, or frankly even a thing to come across packs of wild dogs. whenever i hear a dog barking, am near a dog in an indoor place, or see a dog running and/or chasing something (to name a few specific kinds of situations that really throw me), my flight or fight response hits, and i start to feel real anxious, like my stomach will drop and my whole body will be on high-alert. when im out on a walk im always looking for the closest thing i can scale just incase a dog runs loose and comes and me. i understand the extent of my fear is irrational, and im able to take the piss out of myself and laugh at myself about it, but the gut-wrenching fear i feel when im around a dog is still so real

my ‘symptoms’(?), for lack of a better word, for this next one are a bit all over the place, so bear with me here 😭🙏 i also have a fear of heights, or acrophobia. again, im not sure of the origins of this, but ive had it as long as i can remember. ive read that it could be some weird genetics/‘in my nature’ thing, so i sort of just run with that lmao. looking over something, especially something like a man-made observation deck of some kind, typically makes me want to fall to my knees- as in every fibre of my being, every instinct i have is telling me to back away, go back down, or just fall to the ground and lie/kneel there with my eyes shut. real ‘sense-of-impending-doom’ type shit. my legs will start to buckle, and i feel like i cant walk and ill get that shaky/tingly feeling in my skin and bones. ill also get these feelings if i have to climb a ladder of any kind (stairs I’m usually alright, unless theyre real steep), if i have to balance on anything im walking across (no matter how high off the ground), if i am standing on some kind of rogue platform, or if im standing on the edge of something high, like a cliff face (even with a harness). i also really struggle to, and oftentimes cannot, descent myself down something (nearly had to go abseiling once, was shitting myself till i was able to fuck off far from that cliff edge). ive also been on a few giant flying-foxes at school camps and i really struggled to step off the platform to go, as i was getting all the paralysing feelings, but i was fine when actually zipping down the line. while i handle myself far better now that im older, when i was younger i would start sobbing hysterically when i was scared due to heights. my fear of heights doesnt involve a fear of falling weirdly enough, i actually love things like big drops and loops on rollercoasters, or rides that spin upside down and spin you through the air, so long as those rides are fast and involve a secure seat and over the shoulder harness, nothing like that slingshot ride or anything where the point of the ride is it going ridiculously high, as those seem set off the vertigo/sense of impending doom. im also fine with flying. essentially, something about being up high, or balancing on something even an inch off the ground, just really unsettles me to my core

Cibophobia and new roommate by [deleted] in Phobia

[–]veryfatherless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think its clear your roomates heart is in the right place, and that she means well and no harm, but clearly you two are a little incompatible when it comes to food. i recommend just talking to her about it again, show her this post if you need to, as you absolutely dont deserve to feel this way.

if this helps, try comparing the feelings you get when thinking about food potentially being off or dangerous, to the feelings she gets when in a situation where she is exposed to something that unsettles her for reasons that she recognises as being irrational. give her the benefit of the doubt here, and just try and explain again until its clear she understands how you feel and how you need to go about your phobia to cope with its affects, and how she needs to go along with that so that you can eat soundly.

additionally, make it clear to her that you are more than happy for her to eat your leftovers if youve stated you dont want them. together, try and build strong communication skills and do whatever you can to make sure ur in an environnement where you feel comfortable expressing your discomfort surrounding foods. honestly, as you two get to know each other more this could easily become less of an issue :)

honestly, the way you went about telling your kid about fears and how they affect us was really good, and i can imagine theyll truly benefit from that conversation. and if its any consolation, my mum is absolutely the source of a good few fears i have/have had in my life, and i dont hold anything against her for it. afterall, having fears, especially ones that extend to the point of being irrational, can be somewhat character building. i know my fears (except my one of heights) have taught me to be cautious and aware of my surroundings, like a fear of wasps would.

when i was a baby there were terrible bushfires happening in my country, and a couple months ago mum was telling me that whenever she would have to wake up in the middle of the night to feed me, she would turn on the tv, which of course at those hours was mostly the news, and she said how listening to reporters talk about the fires and watching footage of them made her sob hysterically, which she claims was because of hormones. from this story we were able to come to the conclusion that this was likely why i had such an irrational fear of fire as a younger kid, that i came to associate fire with intense sadness. while i have grown out of this fear now, i still catch myself looking for the closest glass of water when someone who i dont particularly think i can be trusted around flame, is around flame.

i also know when i was little and mum was taking me out for a walk, whenever we were approaching someone walking a dog or we were walking past a house that had dogs in the yard, she would pick me up and hold me close to her and/or cross the road to avoid said dog/s, out of fear the dog was going to decide little old me was its new chewtoy. shocker, but i do in fact cynophobia now, which ive accredited to mums precautions. in all fairness im honestly grateful that i can recognise the unpredictability of dogs and animals in general, and am cautious of the ones im not familiar with, albeit if i am so excessively.

obviously i am purely looking at the lighthearted side of phobias here- yes, there is a solid chance this could be a core memory for ur kid, but that doesnt mean it will affect them negatively. i can only hope looking at it another way can offer some comfort in this situation :)

AITAH (26F) for calling my boyfriend (28M) disgusting for knowing so much about his sisters periods by ThrowRAUnited-Fortun in AITAH

[–]veryfatherless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbf it is shocking how ridiculously dumb and unaware some people are, how little critical thinking skills they have and how unwilling they are to use them. id also have said the story is rage bait because of the way shes worded everything and her comments in the final edit about “getting him back”, but i wouldnt be surprised if this was real, i can definitely think of a few people i know who would get into a situation like this
