The Theory

As I was reading a 'thing' that I don't want to disclose, I came across something interesting. A Theory that would help me explain a process that I knew but couldn't explain to someone, but now this would help me explain. Maybe. Hans Seyle, aka 'the father of stress research' proposed the General Adaptation Syndrome Theory. The theory states that There are 3 stages for the process of stress. 1. Alarm 2.Resistance  3.Exhaustion 1. Alarm is the process where you identify the stress. Where you are alert about the stress when it is introduced. 2. Resistance, is when after the stress the body tries to recover itself from the initial shock, but still is on alert from the stressor. where the body adapts and learns to live with that stressor. 3. Exhaustion is the stage where after a long period of struggle with the stressor the body is drained psychically, emotionally and mentally. This is the basic gist of the theory I read about. Being said this not everyone follows t...

A gesture

The incident I am going to share today happened to me years ago, I remembered it because someone said something to me. It is not that great and it might sound stupid to some as well but it was an experience. This was a few years back, I and a few friends went to a movie. It was a late-night show because that's what we preferred mostly. It was a good movie. We went in sat down, got comfortable. Next to me was another group of friends. It is always awkward when you have someone next to you who you don't know. The movie started and had these great dialogues and the girl who was sitting next to me was really into them I could make out her whispers "wow" and "That's beautiful" and so on. I knew she was the type who loved movies for movies and not the type who watches movies for statuses and peer pressure, like the ones, even when they don't understand and don't know the background they pretend to love it. After Break We came in and sat in our seats, I...

Just Listen

Today's experience was a bit different, most of us feel the same but it is not, time is the important factor, in how long and under what circumstances the events unfolded themselves.   I met this girl sitting by the sea writing something in her small book, I thought she might be a writer, taking down points for things, so I struck a conversation with her asking if she was a writer and what was she writing?   she told me she's not and she was just trying to jot down some points to figure out stuff. I asked her if she needed help with that, an outside perspective wouldn't hurt   So we spoke and she started opening-up about her recent incidences of how she was affected by recent events happening in her life   She continued “It is not that these recent events that have happened to me affect me so much, but the repetition of events” with a very emotionless face she told me   “History repeated itself with me, again and again” she continued “I know ...

Textual Tensions (Ep 2)

                                                                                                                                                                    (by Anif xec) His replies made the friend think about what they actually meant. Was that just a conversation or there was something behind that text? The friend felt guilty for not understanding him. "Are you thinking about the gun today as well?" The friend texted the next day early morning he didn't reply but the friend waited patiently. The r...

Textual Tensions (Ep 1)

                                                    (By Anif Xec) He didn't know a small incident in his life could change so much for him, a decision, a moment of pause could cause so many problems years after. As he was lost deep in thoughts of how messed up the situation for him was, his phone vibrated and a text popped up "Is there ever a time when your minds not lost in deep thoughts?" The text read it was from a close friend  The text caught him off guard " Yeah! don't I wish I had a gun that I can place on my head and just shoot" He replied in a very sarcastic way, but he knew that's what he wanted "Don't say that" the friend replied, concerned with the tone of the text "I didn't mean in a suicidal way" he replied in a calm manner, and added " It is very difficult at times when you are lost in deep thoughts"  "what do you mean?" the friend re...
