Alright...so I'm a bit sad that the 16 Things is over and done with...but on the contrary, I'm quite happy that I finished it! Hurray!! So, I decided to I needed to blog about something.
Amygdala Hijack
Definition of Amygdala Hijack: it is when your emotions take over your actions. The amygdala is the part of the brain that controls that response. When it takes over, because of stress or anger or whatever, it can force a response that's inappropriate, that you might later regret. A few things to point out: I have tons of Amygdala Hijacks. I have a huge temper. I guess, I like to think it as “I don’t take shit” from anyone. Or at least I like to think. But sometimes I think I need some anger management. Well, actually, let us start over. I only get angry easily when it comes to my boyfriend. Does that sound a bit better? Probably not. The thing is my boyfriend has the tendency to be very negative. And honestly, I’m quite the positive person (ironic eh?). So when he makes crude comments, I start to straighten my spine and decide to put him in his place! Or at least, I like to think so. So, is it really Amygdala Hijack? Or is it just that my boyfriend tends to rub me the wrong way?
