my attention span is so bad i cant watch something without being on my phone at the same time i always have to have 2 layers of activity when did this happen why is capitalism stealing my soul away the spectacle has me firmly in its grip

Psychology time!

This isn’t having a short attention span (or well maybe thats part of it), but probably something called “Optimal Arousal.”(This is psychology, not anatomy, please keep your mind out of the gutter Xp)

Optimal Arousal goes like this: When effort is low, more stimulus is better. When effort is high, less stimulus is better.

I’ll elaborate. Whenever you do something easy (like maybe some homework as an example), unless something else is happening (like music or a show) you tend to get drawn away or doze off. In this homework scenario, the effort is low, so in order to keep at it and do well on working on it, you need a higher amount of stimulus, like a movie.

If something is hard, like for instance a test, you probably will try to avoid noise, going so far as to hush others so you can concentrate. The effort is high so you want less stimulus.

Keep this in mind. It can help you focus, and make life a lot easier. Dont feel bad for doing lots of different things while you are just chillin. Enjoy the knowledge!

This is also the reason that when people get lost or are trying to find an unfamiliar destination, they turn their car stereo down.

Whoa wait turning down the music so you can “see better” is a real thing and not just something to poke fun at?

You ever not talk to people you love to protect them from your energy at the moment?

My boyfriend talks in his sleep and because he’s bilingual, he says some hilarious/weird/sometimes creepy shit. I ask him every morning if he remembers saying this stuff and he has no idea about any of it. 

Here are some of my favorites:

-”Babe, can you please turn down the brightness of your skin” -After stealing all of the blankets: “This is my right as a human” -After I take the blankets back: “I don’t want your freedom, America. Just blanket” -Sometimes he just says “Hello?” as if he’s answering a phone call -One night he just said “Cabbage” which is weird because he doesn’t know the english word for that when he’s awake.  -After spooning me: “You have a nice butt” -”Who is that in the corner?” (terrifying) -”Watch out for the red lady” (even more terrifying) -Sometimes he will say things in German and it sounds like he’s speaking Parseltongue -One time I actually think he said something in Parseltongue -One time he talked about buying a ticket to “everywhere” and then just said “hello?” after two minutes of silence -And my all time favorite: ”This is MY yogurt, Satan”

The amount of character development Steve went through in just two seasons is more than most characters get in an entire series

anyone else fucking LOVE BEING IN BED???

[juniorjewel]

bitch im in bed right now!! how did you know!!

[samuelandcandy-blog]

ok so this is something everyone on tumblr should know

imagine dragons was hired to write demo tracks for spiderman turn off the dark (aka the spiderman musical on broadway) in order to get people to invest in it and have enough money to hire someone more famous to write the musical

then the people who hired them thought, “hey, these are actually good songs we should make a cd of them and sell it”

so imagine dragons changed the words a little so they weren’t about spiderman and became famous

radioactive was originally about THE RADIOACTIVE SPIDER THAT BIT SPIDERMAN

you know I read this and thought “bullshit there’s no way that’s true” but apparently it is

Thoughts

Tumblr is amazing for just word vomiting all the nastiness in your mind at the time. Nobody judges you because nobody knows who you are and you can say whatever you like, for instance, a lot of the time I feel like I could rip my brain out of my eyeballs/nostrils/ear holes, and nobody would know the context behind it unless I told them. It’s my choice, I can be as open or closed off as I like without any social consequences other than other anonymous people thinking I'm odd. The down side is that whenever I post something I still want people to notice it and appreciate it just like any other social media site. I think this is why I tend not to post too often, I'm always stuck between do I post for myself to allow some of the poisonous worlds out from my mind and into the world, or am I posting because I'm seeking validation on yet another social media site. I guess only time will tell.
