Before I went to college, I heard that the university would offer a mental health course, so I always wondered what the psychology course was like, and whether the teacher would tell us about psychology, and whether it was an advanced course like social psychology and workplace psychology. With such questions, I took my first mental health class. The students of four classes have classes together in a large ladder classroom. The atmosphere is very different from that of high school. The classroom echoed with the sound of the teacher's loudspeaker, and I felt that the atmosphere in class was much more relaxed than that in high school. The students didn't understand this course, but under the vivid explanation of the teacher, the class became very active, and the students were very excited and actively discussed. The teacher told us a lot of interesting psychological knowledge, such as the influence of emotional intelligence and IQ on people's future development. At this time, I realized that the previous idea that the higher IQ, the greater achievements in the future is wrong, on the contrary. The higher the EQ, the higher the future achievement. IQ is determined by nature, but it can be cultivated. Therefore, if a person wants to succeed, there is no need to have a high IQ. In modern society, emotional intelligence is the main factor, so those losers don't have to complain that their IQ is lower than others.

In psychology class, we have done a lot of psychological tests, such as seeing whether a person's left hemisphere brain is more developed or right hemisphere brain is more developed, and whether people's stress tolerance is good enough. This is also a psychological test for the FBI to test whether a prisoner has committed a crime. If it is a normal person, the curtains covered with dots will not understand or rotate slowly. If the criminal sees the picture, he will see the points in the picture spinning rapidly. This is because criminals are guilty and have too much psychological pressure. We also watched many interesting videos, including one made by a foreign psychologist, to test the self-restraint ability of different people. The first tester is a child, who can be said to be the most irresistible person. When the staff tells the children not to eat the candy on the plate within the specified time, they will get another candy. After the staff left, the test began. The child didn't look at the tempting candy, but hesitated to eat it. It is very difficult to taste the delicious food on the plate and get another candy. But in the end, the desire to get more sugar finally overwhelmed the direct eating of sugar, so all the children began to wait. The waiting time is long, and there is a candy full of temptation in front of you. The children can't sit still, and self-restraint comes into play ... The children try their best to resist the temptation in their own way, some turn a blind eye, some divert their attention, but after a while, some children finally can't help eating the candy, while others insist on it until the end. After I ate another piece of candy, I couldn't wait to put both pieces of candy in my mouth ... and then I did an experiment on adults. Judging from the experimental video, the reaction of adults is strikingly similar to that of children, which surprised us. We can't imagine seeing adults who can't resist the temptation like children in the video. The teacher told us that people's self-restraint ability varies from person to person, including children and adults. People with strong self-restraint ability can often achieve greater success, because they can tolerate things that ordinary people can't, so they are often successful.

Mental health classes are also closely related to college life. For example, there are more and more problems related to the dormitory relationship of college students in the rapidly developing modern society. For example, the interpersonal relationship between students in university dormitories is a very serious problem for many people. For example, many college students are now only children, spoiled at home and have never done rough work. Everyone in the family revolves around him, just like the little emperor. When I arrived at the university, no one in the dormitory revolved around him, no one listened to his command, and no one helped him to do things. This major change will make him suddenly uncomfortable, and psychological adjustment is very important at this time. Some people have been good students at school in junior high school and high school. They are praised by teachers and envied by classmates every day. It is inevitable that you will be arrogant and feel that you are not at the same level as others. They just want to be superior and look down on others. However, after they went to college, they found that no one worshipped themselves and no group of people looked up to them. The gap between them is not a little, but they still feel superior. Another problem in the dormitory is the difference in living habits between people. Dormitory roommates gather in different places, and everyone's living habits are different. Some people don't take a bath for a month, some people make phone calls in the middle of the night every day, and some people are particularly selfish and don't let others touch anything ..... These will become the fuse of contradictions over time, but in fact, as long as they stand in the perspective of others and think about others, these problems can be solved. The university is actually a small society, and everyone's life in the university is simulating the future life in the society. Dealing with interpersonal relationships in college is the basis for entering the society in the future, and it is also an early exercise before entering the society, so good interpersonal relationships are very important to us.

The teacher also introduced us to modern "micro-expression" knowledge. Micro-expression refers to the expression that people make in a very short time. This expression reflects people's true emotions, but it is difficult for ordinary people to capture them. This kind of micro-expression is mostly used in criminal investigation and plays a great role. Through micro-expressions, we can also know each other's true emotions, which is conducive to communication and real communication between the two sides.

The mental health class taught me a lot. People will have all kinds of frustrations to experience in society. Some people are devastated, while others become stronger after the blow. Some people are always pessimistic, so he has accomplished nothing, while some people hint at themselves "I can do it" after every setback, so he will succeed in the end. Good psychological optimism will lead you to success.
