Anxiety exists not only in most people's lives, but also in other psychological obstacles, such as depression and fear. As an emotional feeling, anxiety can be reflected by physical characteristics, such as muscle tension, sweating, chapped lips and dizziness. Anxiety is also accompanied by cognitive components. It is composed of various components, mainly thinking that unpleasant things will happen in the future. Because anxiety is related to fear, worry and panic, some people regard worry as the cognitive component of anxiety.
Anxiety is a common emotional state of college students. When they encounter setbacks in their study, work and life or worry about things that require great efforts, they will have this experience. The influence of anxiety on college students is complex, which can be both the internal driving force of college students' success and the factors that promote and hinder their success. Experiments show that moderate anxiety can make students keep moderate tension, pay high attention and promote learning. But excessive anxiety will have a bad influence on students. If some college students have insomnia the night before the exam, or "stage fright" during the exam, they can't play their normal level in the competition, which is mostly caused by high anxiety. College students who are troubled by excessive anxiety often feel extremely nervous, afraid, distracted, confused, inattentive and even have poor memory. At the same time, it is prone to adverse physiological reactions such as headache, insomnia, loss of appetite and gastrointestinal discomfort. Anxious college students have a psychological problem that they can't get rid of and don't want to face up to. Anxiety is only the expression of contradictions and conflicts, which can be used as a defense mechanism to avoid deeper troubles.
Common anxiety of college students includes self-image anxiety, study anxiety and emotional anxiety. Self-image anxiety is anxiety about not being beautiful, unattractive, too fat or too short, and some of them are caused by factors that affect self-image, such as acne and freckles. This anxiety is mainly related to self-cognition, so we need to re-accept ourselves and establish a new self-image by adjusting our self-cognition. Secondly, anxiety related to study, such as study anxiety and exam anxiety, is the strongest among students' emotional reactions. Let's talk specifically about the test anxiety in college students' learning psychology, which needs to be paid attention to. Emotional anxiety is mostly caused by self-denial caused by setbacks in love, thinking that they do not have the ability to love and be loved, so excessive worry causes anxiety.
The main ways to overcome anxiety are: first, to understand the deep-seated potential conflicts behind college students' anxiety, and then to give supportive professional psychological counseling.
(2) Depression
Depression symptoms not only refer to various feelings, but also include emotional, cognitive and behavioral characteristics. The most obvious symptom of depression is depression, which seems to fall into a bottomless pit or a black hole, be submerged or suffocate. Other feelings include getting angry easily, feeling angry or guilty. Depression is often accompanied by anxiety, loss of confidence in all activities and desire to live alone. Depression is also accompanied by changes in personal thinking. These cognitive changes can be general, such as inattention, memory loss or decision-making difficulties. There may be more emotional changes in thinking, negative views on the world, self and the future. Therefore, it is difficult for patients with depression to recall good memories, blame themselves inappropriately, think that others have a more negative view of themselves and feel pessimistic about the future. At the same time, it is accompanied by physical symptoms, such as frequent fatigue and difficulty getting up. In more serious cases, the way you sleep will change, and you will sleep too much or wake up too early in the morning and never fall asleep again. It may also be eating disorders, eating too much or too little, followed by a sharp increase or decrease in weight. Depression is a kind of lasting emotional experience, which is often intertwined with depression, dissatisfaction, trouble, confusion and other emotions.
Generally speaking, this kind of emotion mostly occurs in college students who are introverted, withdrawn, sensitive, suspicious, dependent, unsociable, frustrated in their lives and unable to get rewards for their long-term efforts. Those college students who don't like their major, or have problems such as improper interpersonal relationships and lovelorn love, will also have depression.
(3) Anger
Anger is a strong emotional reaction when objective things go against people's subjective wishes, or when wishes cannot be realized. Psychological research shows that when anger occurs, it may lead to physical diseases such as rapid heartbeat, arrhythmia and high blood pressure, and at the same time, it will weaken or even lose people's self-control, hinder their thinking, act impulsively, and even make some stupid things that they regret afterwards or cause irreparable losses.
The ubiquitous negative emotions of college students. College students who are full of energy and vitality in their youth are often easily excited and angry in the process of emotional development. For example, some college students are furious because of a harsh word or an unsatisfactory little thing; Some people are angry and hurt because of the obstruction of interpersonal coordination; Some people become angry from embarrassment because others' views or opinions are different from their own; Some were carried away by temporary success and pride; Some people are pessimistic, disappointed and miserable because of temporary setbacks or failures. This variety of negative emotional characteristics, such as lack of calm analysis and thinking, quick thinking, excitement, easy to get angry, etc., are sometimes reflected in some college students. This kind of emotion does great harm to college students, so some people say that "anger begins with stupidity and ends with regret".
(4) jealousy
Jealousy refers to the unpleasant and even painful emotional experience caused by others being better than themselves in some aspects. The Spanish writer Cervantes said, "Jealousy is the root of all evil and the thief of virtue".
Jealousy is an abnormal self-esteem expression, which is very common among college students. The specific performance is injustice, pain, anger and other emotions when seeing others' academic ability, moral honor and even dressing more than themselves; When others encounter misfortune or trouble, they gloat and slander others even when they are depressed. Jealousy is an emotional disorder, which distorts people's minds and hinders normal and sincere communication between people.
Jealousy is a negative emotional experience, which will cause resistance because others are better than themselves. Hegel once said that jealousy is "the aversion of mediocre sentiment to outstanding talents". Jealousy is very common in daily life. British scientist Bacon said: "Of all human passions, jealousy may be the most tenacious and lasting." When you see that others are better than yourself, you will feel sour, so you will have a complex mood including hatred and jealousy, anger and resentment, doubt and disappointment, humiliation and vanity, sadness and grief. This emotion is jealousy. Jealous people can't tolerate others to surpass themselves, and are afraid that others will get fame and status that they can't get. In his view, others should not do what they can't do, and others should not get what they can't get.
Jealousy is an essential defect of human beings, and people with strong jealousy are prone to psychosomatic diseases. Being in a bad mood for a long time will cause depression, easily lead to negative emotions such as sadness, depression, doubt, pain and inferiority, and seriously damage physical and mental health. Secondly, strong jealousy affects college students' self-development. Being in a bad mood will greatly reduce the efficiency of learning. Besides, jealousy may prevent us from making close friends. Jealous people tend to be competitive in everything, often trying to stop the development of others and always trying to overwhelm others. This may make students want to avoid you and not associate with you. So as to create a bad interpersonal atmosphere for yourself, you will feel lonely and lonely.
Jealousy is harmful to people's mental health. One is to destroy the harmony of interpersonal relationships. When a person is jealous of another person, he will not be friendly and enthusiastic to that person, and the relationship between the two people will inevitably be cold. The more jealous objects, the more indifferent objects, which brings great harm to interpersonal communication. What's more, it will destroy the collective unity and good psychological atmosphere. The second is to cause personal inner pain. Jealous people often fall into distress and cannot extricate themselves. After a long time, you will feel inferior, and even take improper measures to hurt others and get yourself into a worse situation. Balzac, a French writer, once said, "A jealous person is more miserable than any unfortunate person, because the happiness of others and his own misfortune will make him extremely miserable."
To overcome jealousy, we must first broaden our horizons, broaden our minds, and understand the objective law of "there are people outside" and "the strong will always be strong". It is not easy to be truly open-minded. If you are in anger, excitement or negative emotions, you can face the reality calmly and objectively, and you can achieve the goal of overcoming jealousy. Secondly, we must learn to divert our attention. We need to actively enrich our lives in order to achieve success, no less than our competitors. Bacon said: "Everyone who is immersed in his own career has no time to envy others." Therefore, actively participating in various activities beneficial to the body and mind will really enrich college life and prevent the poison of jealousy from breeding and spreading. In order to alleviate the psychological imbalance caused by your own failure, you can find some reasons to stop being jealous of others. The third is to learn and appreciate the strengths of others and turn jealousy into motivation. When a person is jealous of others, he always pays attention to the advantages of others and ignores his own advantages. Generally speaking, jealousy is more common among familiar people with the same age and life background. Therefore, only by adopting the correct comparison method, people's length is shorter than their own, not their own length is shorter than theirs. Consciously think about where your analogy is strong, and let your unbalanced psychological balance return to a balanced state. Fourth, establish a correct self-cognition, improve the level of self-cognition, and correctly evaluate yourself and others. Jealousy is a manifestation of self-prominence. Under this psychological control, people always take me as the center. No matter what happens, the first consideration is your own gains and losses, which leads to a series of adverse consequences. If there are signs of jealousy, you should exercise self-discipline, straighten your position and try to get rid of jealousy, and you will feel "selfless and broad-minded."
