Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1726 The Secret Words of the Goddess (71)

In Western culture, some things that look normal may not necessarily look normal in the world, such as corsets.

Older women teach girls at a certain age to pay attention to their appearance.Even if a girl who dances ballet is in good shape, the teacher will say that if you can be a little thinner, maybe you can dance better.

Mothers and older women are often "messengers" that transmit social information and values. They will tell girls about men's preferences, and boys will also encounter the same problem. For example, when elders go fishing, they will tell him, what Such a man represents success.

There are many people whose ego strongly depends on the praise of others. In order to be recognized by the society and to ensure harmonious coexistence with people, even those they dislike, they will wear a personality mask, even if this mask is far from their own personality. .

The more praise the persona receives, the more they regard the mask as their true personality, so that they cannot recognize themselves, and even find that the real self is very different from the mask they imagined, and refuse to admit their real personality defects.

In mental illness, it is called a personality disorder, which is easy to occur in a certain group of people with long-term and rigid thoughts and behaviors. The proportion of the mental illness prevalence survey published in the United States is not high, but the impact of these people Big, they usually make themselves miserable and make others miserable when all they want is praise.

That is to say, for these people, it is easy to be what other people want, but it is difficult to be yourself. He is very impatient in practicing the piano, and he wants to play baseball more, but he will make his parents proud when he gets the reward for playing the piano. , Parents who like to show off can't feel the loneliness in their children, and ignore this "sense of separation".

Most people experience a slight sense of disengagement from time to time in consciousness or identity. This "dissociation" is perfectly normal, but for a few it can become so intense and extreme that they become detached from themselves and become another people, or lose their memory and sense of reality and make it difficult to live.If the symptoms are mild, it can be called a split personality tendency. If the symptoms are severe, you must seek medical treatment.

The true self cannot be suppressed, even if someone puts on a persona for social life and shows a pleasing side to everyone.But that part of the true self is just suppressed, not disappeared. In some movies, this kind of plot often appears. A young man who is outstanding in everyone's eyes is actually a serial killer. His memory sometimes has a small gap. It is after sleeping that the second personality appears, and night is his "working" time. This kind of multiple personality killer is the most difficult to catch, because he himself may not even know that he has a disease of split personality.

A truly crazy person who doesn't know she's crazy, like the lady Pope who threw the water heater at Martha, may have stress somatoform disorder, a disorder characterized by intense focus on physical symptoms, such as pain or fatigue , and given that the town of Salem was in the grip of a witch's curse and a "devil's hand" scare, Ms. Pope was worried about her health.

Anxiety and mental stress made her transition from emotional pain to physical discomfort. Many people would want to go to the toilet because of nervousness. If Salem had modern equipment for diagnosis and treatment at that time, Ms. Pope should be able to check There was no corresponding organic disease on the body, let alone the witch she mentioned was going to pull out her intestines.

The stomach also has the same sympathetic nerve as the bladder, and it is also easy to cause gastrointestinal disorder. Although Ms. Pope’s behavior of throwing things is too aggressive, it is still within the scope of understanding. The trouble is the few adult women who accuse her together with the little girl.

The word "hysteria" already existed in ancient Egypt and ancient Greece. People at that time thought that this disease was due to "wandering uterus", referring to the dramatic or hysterical behavior unique to women.

Are they "obsessed" by acting or by physical disabilities caused by conversion hysteria?

If it is the latter, then this is a self-defense mechanism caused by subconscious conflicts caused by anxiety. Whether it is screaming, twitching, crawling, blindness, loss of hearing and speaking ability are all normal, but if they are acting If so, the nature changes.

This is malicious slander, in other words a deliberate attempt to kill Martha Corey, and they would have shouted "Burn that witch" if it weren't for the way witches are executed in New England by hanging.

Histrionic personality disorder, also known as hysterical or attention-seeking personality disorder, is a personality disorder characterized by excessive emotion or exaggerated words and deeds to attract the attention of others.People with histrionic personality disorder often behave provocatively and are preoccupied with their appearance.This kind of person is emotionally exposed, expressive, full of joy, anger, sorrow and joy, delicate and artificial, prone to temper tantrums, likes sympathy and pity from others, has changeable emotions and is easily suggested.Self-centered, sociable and self-expressive.Asks a lot from others and doesn't care much about others' feelings.Superficial thinking, not used to logical thinking, appears naive.Females are about twice as likely as males.

There are many people who exaggerate this kind of exaggeration, but it is rare to become ill. It is mainly related to childhood experience.

Histrionic personality disorder is easily confused with dependent personality disorder. In the 17th century, women were completely dependent on their husbands. If the husband was a man with a strong desire for control, or rather indifferent, the wife would lack self-confidence in life and rely too much on others. And play her ideal role that she thought he would like.

For example, she jumped out to accuse Martha Corey of giving birth to a mixed-race child. Martha's behavior should be cast aside more than infidelity, and everyone can despise her and flog her.

Those little girls who were old enough to be her granddaughters also lost respect for the authority of their elders and spoke sarcasm. Now they are the "Queens" of Salem, and they say that everyone else should follow orders, and the court staff don't follow them Did you say check Martha's hand?
It would be great if he could run away at this time, but if he ran away, he might be wanted as an accomplice of a witch, and where would he go?Where are the Indians going?

In the evening, Pastor Rosen, accompanied by Ingersoll's wife Hannah, went to Paris's home. The Sabbath prayer had already begun in the living room on the first floor.

Upstairs, however, a pale little girl ran up and down the room, raising her arms high and yelling "hoo hoo hoo," as if she could fly.

If the witch is flying like her without both feet off the ground, then Rose should not raise her arms when she and Jack are on the bow of the Titanic in the future, so as not to be accused of being a witch.In fact, Abigail can jump off the stairs to see if it will rise into the air. Unfortunately, people are rational and know that jumping from upstairs will break their bones, but Hannah Ingersoll Tried to stop her but couldn't, Abigail was possessed after all.

When she had finished whining, Abigail stood in front of Rosen, pointed to an invisible figure and asked, "Didn't you see her?"

Rosen looked in the direction she pointed, but there was nothing there.

"Why is she standing there?"

"Who are you talking about?" Paris, exhausted, stopped praying and asked.

"Old Rebecca Nurse, there are two priests here and she dared to give me a book." Abigail said proudly "For all I know, it's a devil's book, and she told me not to sign it Just touch the scroll."

"How can I believe what you said is true?" Rosen asked.

Abigail ran to the fireplace where Tituba had seen the winged flying creature, and reached directly for the large burning log.

She got carried away and kept the logs still around the house and tried to climb the chimney, but she tried many times without success.

Even though she was holding charcoal with her bare hands, Abigail's hands were still white and clean, without any trace of burns, but it was not so much a "miracle" as an evil force, which perhaps Rosen had never seen before. It was a long time before he regained his composure and consulted with Paris about the next day's sermon.
