Sssttt ... Afraid you laughed at?

Certainly no one wants to be a joke. However, if you're always afraid to be laughed at when people often avoid others were joking, you may suffer gelotophobia.

Excessive afraid to be laughed at someone else, including the disorder called gelotophobia. The word derives from the Greek, gelos, which means laughter, and Phobos, meaning fear.

Phobia was first discussed in Spain in the International Summer School and Symposium on Humor and Laughter: Theory, Research and Applicationss.

Recently, researchers sought to evaluate the fear of ridicule are the various cultures. Researchers from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, in collaboration with researchers from 73 countries to disseminate questionnaires to 22,620 people translated in 42 languages to find out what kind gelotophobia disorders.

According to experts, in the sense of fear of ridicule, there are two classes of reasons. First, they are afraid to be laughed at as a "reaction to feelings of insecurity" that tried to hide her lack of confident it from others or believes that there is nothing funny to laugh about.

Second, "avoidance reaction", which always avoid a similar situation where he had laughed at. Fear of people in this group could be the low-to high-scale. They also always haunted by the suspicion that others are laughing at him.

Although gelotophobia can be found in all cultures, there are some differences appear. For example, people from countries Turkmenistan and Cambodia signed the average in the first group or the "reaction of discomfort". Meanwhile, the people in Iraq, Egypt, and Jordan tend to avoid situations that make them will be laughed at.

Meanwhile, people in Finland believe, when others are laughing, they laugh at him. As many as 80 percent of people in Thailand also have the same suspicions.

"People laugh at others for various reasons. This can cause a fear response to someone that he always avoid situations that lead to the expense. This certainly will impact on social life," said Victor Rubio, a psychologist from the Autonomous University, Madrid, Spain.

Assertive is one of the elements contained in the nature of manhood, while we know that the "Adult" physical or psychological is ideal for audiences who can say to change their attitude in all things for the better. at this time I want to discuss about what is and how to be assertive in order to be mature.

Often we are criticized for being our immaturity was not deemed suitable to do, it often makes us a "down" or "desperate", it is natural especially if this happens to men, because according to research, real men is a child trapped in a grown man's body, eit! but for the men who read this do not jump in front of the woman's pessimism had been ... although described as a small boy trapped in a man's body also did the adult women often face the hassles that in fact the men as "the little boy trapped in a man's body" hahaha ...

The following therefore is the understanding and the characteristics of assertive nature that we can be adults (Don't worry. The following article for all, hehehe ...);
Assertive is the attitude that has an element such as honest, open, true, mature, pro-active, and responsible so that it can be said to be assertive, we must be able and willing to have these elements so do not expect assertiveness can be owned by people who feel self is not useful, depending on others, fail, reactive, and always one perceives that these attitudes are wrong self-image, why? because it can be seen that the attitudes are owned by people who always thought negativ when we know that adult men who can always think positively.

To be assertive, we must have a tips / how to change ourselves to become more assertive, the following tips / how;

1. Changing yourself first, then change the other person.
2. Maintaining relationships and immediate repair of damaged relationships.
3. Assertiveness pass.
4. Perception binoculars:
-if there are negative issues that look a little wear glasses so that our problems will seem small compared to the journey of our life long
-Positive things look great wearing glasses that will be great and will always be remembered.
5. Consistent but remain realistic.
6. Berkompromilah because sometimes necessary.


Whew was no way to become an adult? of course there are younger kids .. hahaha .. for me, we all have to be assertive because if we are being assertive we can directly handling conflict and criticism, Assessing the condition, Assessing the wrong strategy, systematic approach, assessing the work of personal and potential abilities.

In addition assertive nature can also make our self-esteem grow stronger, to realize our own responsibilities, accelerate the development of self and makes us rarely blame others.

Well, to become adults is not difficult, that is going to transform themselves into assertive. I hope this article can be a guideline to be for all (but if you do not agree to serve as guidelines also okay, not all have the right of each, right? hoho ..), saying the end I said, Lets Grow Up!

WHO REALLY ARE WE IN TREATING THE PARENTS, CHILDREN, WIFE OR FRIENDS? IF NOT THEN WHO HAVE all three?

Sometimes we are too relaxed in his youth in thinking about the future of our older
unless the clergy are required to live holy lives single or I think.
There is a proverb that says, "tomorrow is another day tomorrow is today so live for today."
But if the adage is always right? I think right or not should be adjusted
with our present situation, the point is proportional to put the alias and thinking yourself.
Let us think and ponder as to lyrics Jasmine Trias (hehehe. ..), how the fate of our parents the next day, whether to stand by the children, wives or relatives? Or just the opposite of our parents who take care of them all?
Or we do not care because there is no third person? Hahahaha ...

Beyond that all I wanted to share my thoughts on about who exactly will take care of us in old age. I think that caring for ourselves in old age is our own youth, lho koq so? Yupz! Let us go back to think and reflect on my thoughts below:

Just imagine if our youth sports avidly,
impact can be felt by us in our old age is not it?

Just imagine if our youth very diligent saving,
impact can be felt by us in our old age is not it?

Just imagine if our youth work and perseverance in seeking opportunities,
impact can be felt by us in our old age is not it?

Just imagine if our youth love to add insight,
impact can be felt by us in the old days right?

Hahaha .. yes .. that's only part of my thinking that the conclusion that our youth would be nice if we adopt a positive lifestyle for our youth if used with a positive lifestyle in old age then we will reap positive results as well.
Several points are just a small part of the pattern of positive life because there are many positive lifestyle others.

Hmm ... I think there is nothing wrong from now on we start the positive lifestyle of sin nor did he? hehehe ...
Well for this time many of my thoughts I hope can be an inspiration to us all, especially for us who try to leave a negative lifestyle like me, hahaha ..
Finally, I'll see you at the next post and bye ... bye ...
