psychological 

Pertaining to the functions of the mind, or brain.

From the Greek: psukhē(psyche) meaning soul... that which makes a person that specific person, rather than someone or everyone else.

It's not a real problem, you just made it up inside your head. It is all just psychological... though that pertains more to psychosomatosis, you get the drift.

Psychological 

A way for a pussy to convince himself/herself that nothing is real unless they describe it as real. A pretentious person's version of positive thoughts.

That didn't happen, it wasn't real, violence is all psychological, if the person doing the damage is the one pretending everything is psychological.

psychological nudity 

A state of mental and emotional honesty. When all pretense, prejudice, expectations, bravado, etc. are removed, and all that is left is the bare mind. Pure thought (not necessarily pure as in good) is more readily accomplished when one is psychologically nude. Note that psychological nudity has nothing to do with the amount of clothing one is (or is not) wearing; it is a mental state.

After half an hour of chipping away at my preconceived ideas, I could finally see what she was talking about. Fully clothed, I experienced psychological nudity.
