lawyer build Don't enter blindlyGan Wei, a national second-level psychological counselor, said that at present, such so-called "self-discipline challenges" cannot achieve the positive effect of self-discipline, and long-term closure may even cause negative emotions such as anxiety, depression, and mania, resulting in the rebound of adverse effects such as disorganized empathy, distorted personality characteristics, and reduced social integration, and cannot achieve the true sense of self-discipline effect.
According to Nanguo Jinbao, a man in Hechi, Guangxi Province signed up for a similar challenge in 2022, and on the seventh day of the challenge, the delivery staff knocked on the door as usual to remind him, and Mr. Wang instinctively responded to the other party with an "oh" word. On the evening of the eighth day, the organizer found that Mr. Wang's challenge had failed and confiscated the security deposit on the grounds that he had contact with the outside world.
