A multi million dollar exploitative industry that poses as a science despite having about as much scientific weight as voodoo.

The biggest joke of a University course ever. Generally consists of about 5 hours a week max with half of those being cancelled every other week. Nearly always taken by those keen to go out and get drunk rather than get a proper degree. Hence students of the course are often referred to as keenos. Highly recommended to those who want to go to University but not do any work, just go out, get smashed and usually sleep with anyone that is a 2/10 or above. Therefore become a stellato when drunk quite often too.
Flatmate: "Are you revising tonight?"
Psychology student: "fuck no!"
Flatmate: "Oh yeah, I forgot you were a psychology student"
Psychology student: "fuck no!"

Probably the most bullshit field of study besides liberal arts, pyschology is the field of study of the human mind and how it works(?) The whole study ignores a thing called logic. Since you cannot disect the human brain and study it, idiot scientists pull assumptions out of their asses without backing up their theories. They do this so they can diagnose "freaks" and "abnormal." 99% of assholes who take these class do it to be cool and not look like an idiot when infact it's the complete opposite. People who become pyschologist are assholes who like to diagnosed people who are 'abnormal' so they can pay off their Lexus payments and finish buying that gold yacht.
What really pisses me off about pyschology is that it implies on how everyone should act in some bullshit social set of standards otherwise you have some sort of disorder. Nevermind the fact that there is a thing called disagreements, emotions, and doing what you like. So the whole thing just spews of contradicting bullshit.
I like to be alone and have my own space therefore I have Asperger's Syndrome and Social Anxiety Disorder, what? Oh yea I also am Bi-Polar because when I get pissed off and I don't hold it back. I have ADHD because stuff that I don't like bores me so I don't care much for it.

A typical psychology case: A mother is bringing in her 8 year old daughter because she doesn't like school(who does?). The doctor is a Hindu fresh graduate who just graduated in an online course and can hardly speak English. God knows why he got a job at a health center.
*Doctor looks over new charts after mom writes some bullshit*
Quack: So you can't get along in school and you don't like being there?
Girl: No, school is boring and the other kids are mean to me because I'm the one of the three girls in my class.
Quack: Do you feel down and depressed, do you drink or smoke at all?
Girl: What?
*After a half-hour of nonsensicle questions, the doctor automatically she knows the girl like shes a father and prescribes the little girl with 2 different medicines, one is for seizures(yes for my 'bi-polar' I have been prescribed seizure medicines).*
I love how the doctor automatically assumes that she knows how the girl works and prescribes her useless medications.

An interesting discipline no doubt, but not without its share of problems. For more on those, see psychologist.

A science that used to be complete bullcrap with absolutely no evidence, but has gotten much more objective and quantitative since roughly the 2000's. Stigmatized by people thinking they can psychoanalyze random people after one class, and famous 'psychologists' that never discovered anything, psychology has received a poor reputation. People often erroneously assume it is a synonym for "therapy," even though not every psychologist is a therapist.
Speak positively about it at your own risk.

It's possible to devise experiments that work to get actual data, and formulate a legitimate theory in psychology. But instead, let's quote Freud's unfounded claims!

Something I really dislike. A bunch of people acting like they are superior to you. They think you have "problems" because your mind works differently. THey want to change and mold you into a mindless but happy zombie. I'd rather be realistic. Psychologists think they know you and want to "cure" you. Of things like personality disorders. What if I LIKE my personality disorders? Too bad, it isn't "normal." They automatically assume what your actions mean and judge you. What these xenophobic people fail to realize is that you are equal to them! They have NO sense of humour Their knowledge tends to be all doctrine and no experience. Often judgemental and hypocritical, these people are annoying and hated by most.
Me: I want to rule the world.
Psychologist: Hmm.
Me: I am SO much more intelligent than you.
Psychologist: Insecurity...
Me: It is NOT insecurity!
Psychologist: Denial...
Me: Whatever.
Psychologist: I got it! You have narcissistic personality disorder! For me telling you that, give me a thousand dollars and tons of praise and thanks. I really AM a psychology genius, aren't I?
Me: Ugh.

A major in which people, mostly women, study to "understand" better life, and human behavior; Psychology is also known as the most burned major, of all college majors, because it's everyone's major at one point of their life as college students. Psychologist believe to be intellectual-beings, which in 99% they are not, and don't even fucking understand their heroes meant to say in their written works and efforts to contribute to the science field of psychology, For Example, Freud, Rogers, etc. Also Psychologist give therapy to people with "life problems", economic, unresolved child development issues and marital and socioeconomic, psychosocial problems, and psychologist think they know everything about life, when don't realize how life really hard is, and they usually live in apartments and rented rooms, because most of them are mediocre; I don't mean to stereotype not all psychologist are ignorant, some of them are really intellectual and philosophical. Most pretty girls study psychology, just for the sake of completing a "professional career", but most of them just study in the mean time they find a suitable husband with a real career, with true commodities and real hard-worked-made money. Most Psychologist screw your head even-more in order to take more and more of your money within each visit you make to their forced therapy......
Mariana is studying psychology, she is a rich bitch, and thinks she knows everything about life, and thinks life is easy as making a sandwich. I've known her for almost 10 years, and talks to me on a disrespectful manner; when I finally raised my voice and told her, I wouldn't be taking her shit anymore, she got horny and offered me sex. She is a girl that enjoys Sadomasochism (pleasure on feeling pain or humiliated), and likes being treated like a garbage, even though she is on a psychology major and she is supposed to understand what is to be a normal human-being and not to enjoy irrational pain, on being treated like garbage like every other psychology student should......
