Well there is always something to new to talk about in Depression Support Chat on Thursday at 9PM EST. I saw this article on self monitoring and thought it might open some eyes about how we monitor our behavior and words, or not.
Self-Monitoring | Encyclopedia of Psychology

Those who monitor themselves in a highly meticulous manner are considered high self-monitors. They tend to project a particular image of themselves in order to fit in or impress others. High self-monitors readily adjust their behavior to the situation at hand.

Low self-monitors, on the other hand, tend to regulate themselves according to their own internal beliefs and are typically less concerned with social context. They tend to project an image true to their inner selves rather than put on a facade. Low self-monitors tend to care little about adjusting their behavior to the social situation and keep the same beliefs and attitudes regardless of others’ opinions.

Those who do not self-monitor at all may come across as pushy, aggressive and uncompromising. This may cause others to be less receptive toward them and lead to feelings of anger, low self-worth, depression and isolation.

Whatever diagnoses you have, feel free to drop by and listen to a group of supportive people that will be happy to see you. Who knows you may even feel like adding your thoughts as well.

Here's a link to our Community Calendar below. I believe you will need five approved posts before you can get into chat.

Hi sorry I did not catch your post for this week.

Here is how to get in chat

1) have 5 posts even if you are just replying to others.

2) Click on Chat in the grey bar near the top of the page.

3) login with our Psych Central User Name and password

4) Click on the room you want to enter and you should be good. If it asks for a password it is a private chat. Please try another room.

hope to see you in chat soon.

CANDC

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
