What's Bothering You?

Does that include marketing tactics like fear of missing out?

You would have to provide some context for me to say for sure, but from my current understanding of fear of missing out, no. Classical conditioning is concerned with involuntary, biological reflexes.
I think it could fall under operant conditioning though, since that focuses on voluntary actions specifically taken to gain positive or avoid negative consequences.

Learning about classical/operant conditioning/whatever in psychology
I will never understand any of this and I just want it to be over

I’d love to try explaining, but you’re probably sick of it at this point. My best advice is to read up on it online if you’re struggling with a textbook. Sometimes it helps me just to get a different perspective.

One example of fear of missing out might be Nintendo's handling of amiibo and other limited edition goodies, with stores getting one of the product. Plus having a budget that would further motivate you to avoid scalper prices.

Then yes, it can definitely be applied to operant conditioning.
 
The virus has officially reached my country. Blergh.
 
I'm seriously considering switching email address to something not hotmail because windows 10 keeps ****ing and saying someone changed my password when I only did it to shut the notices off like... uh the activity shows only my login so ???? **** you win10
 
Last week when I went to my piano lesson I was super tired and my prof felt bad about it so he let me go a bit early so I could rest before my next class....

A week later, I'm still just as tired :(
 
Every day is as boring and predictable as the last. Can I just sing kumbaya and live in the world of my dreams already?
 
Soooo did they just gloss over the damn fact that I got accepted into all seven colleges that I applied to

like they always find stuff to belittle or pick on me

I?m sorry, whoever they is, they sound really lame. Congratulations on being accepted to all your choices! That?s incredible, and I?ll keep my fingers crossed that you find the one that?s perfect for you :D
 
finally broke down and gave these crooks a few more cents for a month of premium Pokemon Home (with points it was only like a dollar so that?s ok... I guess) because you need it in order to transfer Pokemon from a 3DS and I wanted my shiny Celebi and normal Corsolas. So I go through the moving process and then it?s just like ?ok you won?t be able to use Home until the move is done bye? No loading screen, no estimated time remaining lol when you try to open it it literally just says come back after ?some time has passed?

That’s great that you got accepted into all seven of them. I’m happy for you, Dawn. :)

Also, @Fey, I’m pretty sure she was talking about her family.
 
Thank you very much for your support you all <3 I really do appreciate it you guys. :)
Things should get better once you have some distance from home. I put a whole ocean between myself and my family, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made ;3

Also, @Fey, I?m pretty sure she was talking about her family.

I mean I thought so, but didn?t want to assume.
