Confused
I'm sitting down here thinking about university. Truth be told I am shit scared. I love psychology, I love understanding human behavior but I feel like I don't think I could become a psychologist. I don't know what I want to do. The reason why I would choose psychology is because I want to help people make and compose resolutions towards improving their situation. At the same time I want to be the stable building block that will always be there for them, someone who they can confide into and in a way be their friend. I feel like having someone to talk to about things is extremely important and if situations become extreme and help is needed I want to be there for them. Although I know I have too much of an optimistic approach to life. I know very well that I just expect things to happen, as much as I work and as much as I do, I always have this tiny spark of false hope for everything and hope everything will just turn out okay not realizing that it affects someone else as well.
I feel like clinical psychology is something I would really love to do. But is the 6/7 years really worth it. I'm afraid that in this whole world of dealing with everyone else's problems I'll drown in them alongside my own.
I also get easily absorbed by others' feelings. So if something said was really emotional, important or resonated to me I'd feel like that for the rest of the day.
I'm not sure I just need to think again. Nutrition might not be for me..
