Genius and madman, separated by a thin paper
Many in careers
People who make a difference
All have certain mental illnesses
Psychologists tell us
This makes perfect sense
Manic and depressed and versatile
When a man walks on the streets of London, he always has to force himself to touch every post box on the side of the road, and if he misses one, he must go back and touch it again; when he enters and exits the gate or any entrance or exit, he always crosses the threshold with his right or left foot according to the prescribed in his heart, and if he makes a mistake, he must walk again until he is satisfied. There was another guy who lived in a single dormitory when he was in college, but always thought he had a roommate, and he often "met" with him after graduation, and then there was even a little girl in the party... As a result, he was diagnosed with severe schizophrenia.
These are two of them
Make a great contribution to the progress of mankind
The former was british in the mid-to-late 18th century
Literary leader Samuel Johnson
The latter was the founder of game theory
Nobel Laureate in Economics
Professor John Nash
Numerous such examples have provoked psychologists
On "manic and depressive multi-talented"
Research interests in this topic
The results showed
Many great men in politics, science and art
All because of different degrees of mental illness
Paranoia, sensitivity, autism – it's the success
For this phenomenon
How do scientists explain that?
Not being sociable is also an advantage
Psychologists believe that people with social fear have such a detached, perfect, authoritative "me" in their hearts, which uses harsh "must" to control themselves, and when there is a slight imperfection in social, a strong self-denial, depreciation, and condemnation arise spontaneously. What makes people produce such a powerful superego culture inside.
Culture stimulates people's excessive pursuit of self-esteem, idealized self, and honor, which leads to a reverse consequence, so that the subject has a neurotic repression and denial of himself. In general, intelligent, sensitive, somewhat neurotic, and highly educated people are prone to such predicaments, and these people happen to be creative people.
Therefore, not good social perhaps
Not a bad thing either
If you think your social phobia is a disease
You will feel frustrated and fail
But if you interpret it as "I don't like to socialize"
Then you will gain inner peace
And feel at ease to spend a lot of time at your disposal
Many philosophical, artistic, literary, scientific
Accomplished people
It belongs to a group that does not like ordinary social activities
So they got it
Much more time and energy than ordinary people
Double-sided genes create talent
When you download a great game or a movie, you often accidentally get infected with a computer virus – and some genes do the same. A professor of psychiatry compared the characteristics of 1600 autistic people with the life stories of celebrities and found that many geniuses have characteristics similar to autism and Asperger's syndrome, Einstein, Mozart, Kant, Hans Christian Andersen... Nothing more.
Autism is a mental illness characterized by severe loneliness, lack of emotional response, language development disorders, stereotyped repetitive movements, and peculiar reactions to the environment. Asperger's syndrome is similar to autism, and children with Asperger's syndrome have difficulty understanding interpersonal relationships and the rules contained in social conventions. They appear naïve and clearly lack common sense. Stereotypes and difficulties in coping with changes make them stressful and emotionally vulnerable. Meanwhile, children with Asperger's syndrome (mostly boys) have normal or abnormal intelligence and have strong mechanical memory abilities. Their ability to concentrate on what interests them will enable them to achieve great things later in life.
It turned out that the introduction was autism
and those genes for Asperger's syndrome
He also manages creativity and talent
These genes are shaped
Poor social skills and at odds with the school system
Paranoid, skeptical individuals
They can be a topic for a topic
Spend most of your life
Not easily swayed by other people's opinions...
such
Or become mentally ill
Or become a genius
Regulating the "ecological balance"
Others argue that the phenomenon of great people suffering from different degrees of mental illness is essentially the same as some of the regulatory measures taken by social animals for the sake of the overall "ecological balance". Just as a colony only needs one queen, it is natural to exclude those bees that may become queens early, leaving only one in the end.
And in human society
Excellent people must be more qualified than ordinary people
It is easier to feel pain
Many "potential geniuses" have gone through such torture
Become mediocre and lose competitiveness
Even lost lives
And the big people who eventually became famous in history
At the same time, it left behind works that were admired by future generations
It also leaves some bizarre ones
Symptoms of neurological diseases
Regulate the ecological balance
So
Are you a genius? Or crazy?
Give you a look
Experience for yourself
