Why I Started This Blog: Psychology for Everyone

 

📍 Introduction

Hello and welcome to my blog!
My name is Poonam Kumari, and I’m currently a psychology student with a deep passion for understanding the human mind and raising awareness about mental health. I started this blog as a space to share what I learn, what I experience, and what I believe can help others lead healthier emotional lives.

🌱 Why Psychology?

Psychology is not just a subject for me—it’s a way of seeing the world. Every emotion, every habit, every decision we make is connected to how our mind works. I’ve always been curious about why people behave the way they do, and now, as a student of psychology, I’m finally getting the tools to understand it better.

✨ Why This Blog?

I noticed that many people—especially students and young people—don’t have access to simple, clear information about mental health. Many are still afraid to talk about things like stress, anxiety, or depression. So I decided to start this blog to:

  • Share psychology concepts in simple Hindi/English

  • Write about mental health in a friendly, non-judgmental way

  • Give helpful study tips and notes for psychology students

  • Talk about my own thoughts and experiences openly

📚 What You’ll Find Here

You can expect posts like:

  • Easy explanations of psychological theories

  • Real-life stories + what psychology says about them

  • Study notes and summaries (for college students)

  • Tips on managing stress, building habits, or improving focus

  • Reflections on mental health, friendships, and life

💌 Let’s Learn Together

Whether you’re a student, a curious reader, or someone going through a hard time, I hope you find something helpful here. Psychology is for everyone, and together we can break the stigma around mental health.

Thank you for reading!

“Dancing Alone vs. Dancing with the Girls — A Social Psychology Twist”

  Random Realization of the Day 💭✨ Aaj ka din thoda thoughtless sa lag raha tha — koi deep ya random soch dimaag mein aayi hi nahi. 😅 Maybe because I didn't intentionally sit down to reflect. But you know what? While studying Social Psychology today, I ended up noticing something interesting… about myself . 💡🧠 I realized how super confident I feel when I’m alone in my room, dancing like a total queen 👑🔥 — especially to item songs (yes, I said it 😜). I mean… the sass, the steps, the vibe — I be like “Main hi sabse hot hoon yahan!” 💃💅 But the moment I’m with my girls... poora scene change ho jaata hai. 😶😬 I get nervous, awkward even. Kabhi kabhi toh muh bhi ajeeb ban jaata hai jaise... “What the hell am I doing?” Suddenly I feel like the worst dancer in the room. 😭🫣 And then comes that dramatic inner voice: “Ewww Poonam, seriously?” 🤦‍♀️💀 Aur phir khud pe hi hansi aa jaati hai. "Pagal hai tu yaar!" 😂🫶 I don’t know... maybe I am a little ma...

Escapism from Emotion: A Silent Struggle 💭💔

Have you ever found yourself scrolling endlessly on Instagram 📱, binge-watching a series late into the night 🌙, or keeping yourself too busy — just so you don’t have to think about how you actually feel? If yes... then maybe you’ve tasted emotional escapism — that quiet habit of running away from your own feelings. In today’s fast-moving world, it’s become so easy to avoid emotions that make us uncomfortable. We often label sadness, fear, or anger as bad feelings — and then try to silence them with distractions. But the truth is: emotions don’t disappear. They just wait… until one day, they overflow. 🌊 Why Do We Escape Our Emotions? 🤔 We’ve grown up in a world where expressing emotions is often seen as “being weak.” From childhood, many of us are told things like: “Be strong.” “Stop crying.” “Move on.” And even though those words may come from love, they quietly teach us to hide instead of heal . 💬💔 So we start escaping because: We're scared to feel too deep...

💕 When Love Meets Jealousy: The Hidden Emotion in Friendship

  Love, in its purest form, is beautiful 🌸 — whether it’s friendship, affection, or care. But sometimes, when we see someone we deeply value being surrounded by others who also shower them with love 💖, a strange emotion quietly knocks at our heart: jealousy . 💭 It doesn’t mean we love them any less. It doesn’t even mean their bond with others takes away ours. Yet deep inside, questions arise: 🤔 “What if I’m not as important as I thought?” 💔 “Will I lose my place in their heart?” And often, we end up asking ourselves: “Am I overreacting?” The truth is — no, you’re not 🌱. Feeling jealous in such moments doesn’t make you selfish or weak. It only reflects how much you value the bond. It’s not about envy, but about the fear of losing your special place in someone’s life. 🌼 A Personal Moment I still remember one Friendship Day 🎀. I had forgotten to bring a friendship band for my close friend, but another person brought one and tied it to both of us. My friend looke...
