I can not do this. Psychology seems to me like a weapon. My boyfriend (who has a bachelor's degree in psych and is a salesman) just used all this horrible **** about my childhood that I told him, to explain, why he can not love me, and he feels I am being insincere, and is not attracted to me emotionally any more. Reading the other thread about emotional armor, I wonder if that armor really protects us from ANYTHING. It all hurts just the same. I wonder if these explanations just numb us to the fact that relationships often hurt and we are hardwired to be selfish and blind to our own faults.

I am planning to go back to school next semester and am applying for half psych programs (research), half something else. But it's a lie. Maybe it's nonsense and people who are just numb and think psychology is ******** have the right idea.
