Welcome to the world of mystery. I hereby telling you to enjoy wasting your time here.

Reverse Psychology


Did you know that tsundere (an anime character that says totally opposite of what they want to say) often uses reverse psychology? Do you know reverse psychology? Reverse psychology means saying the opposite thing of what you actually want it to be. It usually can motivate for optimist people. For example a tsundere will say "It's okay if you don't want to pick me up! I will just walk by myself." It's called reverse psychology, she actually wants to be together with that person, but she said that, in order to make the person quickly decides and determinate to pick her up.

Humans minds are processor that process any kind of interaction and process it into algorithm to achieve a decision. Algorithm is something that received from previous experience and knowledge that someone already had. It's like a dandere (an anime character that is shy, plain, and silent) student is scolded to cry harder and harder. Soon that dandere will stop. That's called reverse psychology, usually it works.

For someone who isn't dandere or tsundere, and teenagers already have alter ego. Alter ego is our second self. It will surely denied our reverse psychology because they prove themselves, or they already knew from beginning it was a reverse psychology trap/bait.

Sometimes due to people's curiousness, reverse psychology could be used to gain people's attention. Such as "Don't look back." but in the end you look back. Or "Don't read this." but in the end you read it.
