Criminal profiling: What makes them tick? in Psychology ·
Zachary Kelly said:I know I’m probably going to get roasted for saying this,
but when you look at cases like Paravinja, I honestly think the death penalty is the most humane option available—
both for the individual and for everyone else out there... because let’s be real, it’s highly unlikely someone like that would ever actually come "rehabilitated" from prison or some state facility, which means they'd just stay a threat to society... and even if they did have some sudden moment of clarity or enlightenment later on, I doubt they could even live with themselves after what they did (assuming they even became "normal"), so I guess I see it as the only real solution..

I'm generally in favor of bringing back the death penalty.👍

Criminal profiling: What makes them tick? in Psychology ·
Back in the 1940s, an American psychologist named William Herbert Sheldon developed constitutional psychology—this theory that essentially links our physical body types directly to our specific temperaments.

People tend to label those with an Ectomorphic Body Type as being brilliant but prone to anxiety—it’s a common stereotype, isn't it? I've always found that fascinating, though I'm not sure if there's any actual science behind it.

Sheldon couldn't quite nail a personality test that actually backed up his theories with solid statistics. That said, his data did suggest there might be a link between a criminal predisposition and a body type that leans heavily toward mesomorphy while staying somewhere in the middle for an Ectomorphic Body Type.

If you haven't stumbled upon this yet, you really should—it’s a fascinating deep dive into how physical structure was once thought to link directly to personality. Constitutional psychology is a theory, developed in the 1940s by American psychologist William Herbert Sheldon, and while it's definitely controversial today, the historical context is wild.

"..The Ectomorphic Body Type focuses heavily on the nervous system and the brain—essentially the ectoderm. This physical tendency toward a slight build actually aligns with the Cerebrotonia temperament: those who are naturally artistic, sensitive, somewhat apprehensive, and introverted...."

Ectomorphic Body Type—it’s a fascinating subject, really. I was reading about how this physical structure ties back to those older theories from the 1940s, and honestly, it makes you wonder how much our builds actually influence our personalities!
I’ve always been a bit fascinated by the whole concept of being thin—it’s funny how much people obsess over it!
I’ve always felt that having an Ectomorphic Body Type—you know, that lean, slender build—comes with its own set of unique challenges, especially when it comes to certain silhouettes. It can be a bit of a struggle to find clothes that actually flatter your shape!
I’ve always felt that having an Ectomorphic Body Type—you know, that naturally slender, delicate frame—comes with its own unique set of challenges, though I suppose it has its perks too!
It’s funny how much people obsess over looking younger—I was just chatting with a friend about it the other day! Truly, though, there is such a deep fascination with maintaining a youthful glow.
Tall—just one word, really, but it carries so much weight depending on how you look at it!
I’d say he’s just lightly muscled—nothing crazy, but definitely fit.
Stoop-shouldered—just one of those physical traits that seems to carry its own weight, doesn't it?
A massive intellect—truly a rare find these days!
Associated personality traits:
I've been feeling incredibly self-conscious lately—just one of those moods where you feel like everyone is staring at you under a microscope. It’s exhausting, honestly.
I’ve always been a firm believer in keeping things close to the vest—there’s just something about maintaining a bit of mystery that feels right. Honestly, I prefer my privacy above almost everything else.
I’ve always been more of an introvert—just one of those people who finds peace in the quiet moments rather than the crowd. It's nothing negative, just how I'm wired.
I’ve always felt that being inhibited—you know, that feeling of holding back when you really want to lean in—can be such a massive hurdle. It’s like having one foot on the brake while trying to hit the gas!
Social anxiety—it’s a real struggle, isn't it? Honestly, I've been there myself—just feeling that knot in my stomach before stepping into a room full of strangers.
I’ve always felt that true creativity requires a certain kind of soul—it's more than just technique, you know? It’s about that raw, unbridled expression that hits you right in the gut.
It’s just... mentally intense. Honestly, I’m feeling a bit drained from all this.
I suppose some people just aren't built to wear their hearts on their sleeves—it’s a bit like that old theory from the 1940s by William Herbert Sheldon about how our physical makeup influences our temperament. Some folks are just naturally wired to stay composed, even when things get chaotic.

Check this out—if you’re interested in how body shape ties into personality, this deep dive into somatotypes is worth a look. It covers the whole spectrum of constitutional psychology, which was that theory developed back in the 1940s by American psychologist William Herbert Sheldon. It’s pretty fascinating stuff!

Well, there you have it—just like that!😲😲😲

Edward Booth9 said:A couple of days ago, I was scrolling through USA Today and stumbled upon this commentary from some physiotherapist or whatever... they were trying to claim that Paravinja is an ectomorph just because he’s thin and lanky. Their whole argument? That because of his body type, he basically lacks the willpower to suppress his impulses, which is why he did what he did. It felt a bit off to me.

Has anyone else run into this kind of thing? Every time I try to look up "ectomorph" on Google, all I get is stuff about body types for athletes or bodybuilding enthusiasts. There isn't anything connecting physical build to psychological states or impulse control.

Weight isn't even the main concern for an ectomorph—honestly, if you have this body type, you probably worry more about catching a cold when a strong breeze kicks up! The biggest hurdle is that most people with this build only eat when they actually feel hungry. To see any real progress on the scale, you have to break that habit. I highly recommend sticking to high-calorie meals and eating more frequently, specifically by increasing your portion sizes beyond what feels "normal." "

Oh man, I’m actually starting to get a little intimidated by people who are super skinny and even taller than me!😲😲😲

Zachary Mendoza2 said:The purpose of prison isn't about punishing someone just because we hate them or because they're different. It's about protecting future victims. Some people will refrain from committing crimes simply out of fear of the law, which protects others. The world is objectively better because prisons exist. They are also considered "humane," though that's a bit of a stretch. Honestly, the world would be even better if we just eliminated such criminals instead of feeding and housing them, only to release them after a set period. Many just go right back to their criminal ways. In fact, for many, prison acts as a school for crime—a place to learn how to commit offenses and evade justice, while building connections within organized crime networks.

As for the philosophical debate over whether they are guilty by nature, guilty by choice, or merely products of a broken society—leave that to the philosophers to babble about over drinks. As far as I'm concerned, providing protection to innocent victims is far more important. If the perpetrator suffers a little in the process, so be it. You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. Besides, who cares. It is only natural to be responsible for your actions and face the consequences, just as it is natural to experience things in life that you didn't deserve. That's just how it works. 🤷

I'm with you on this.👍

William Hernandez14 said:Does anyone know about interactions between Faverin and Nebilet (a beta-blocker)? I’m on Faverin for anxiety, and the beta-blocker is for the same reason, honestly. It was prescribed for palpitations and skipped beats—turns out it’s all psychological. My heart is fine, it just acts "wild" because of my mental state. Doctors didn't have many other ideas, so they went this route. I’ve noticed it affects my breathing, slows my pulse, and drops my blood pressure. That helps with falling asleep, which is a plus since insomnia is a constant struggle, but it feels dangerous when I wake up gasping from sleep apnea. Not great. Has anyone dealt with this? My doctors just leave the decision up to me, which is frustrating. I'm considering tapering off the beta-blocker slowly. Any thoughts? 😉
Anyone here with medical expertise?

I honestly don't think you need a beta-blocker if you're taking it for anxiety. I used to take Faverin for depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. What kind of damn blocker would I need?! No, wait, maybe some black market stuff will show up! Anyway, back when my first depressive episode hit, I went through all the "physical" tests first, and they told me I had some kind of hyperactive heart—if those racing palpitations continued, they'd prescribe a beta-blocker. Eventually, once they realized it was all psychosomatic, of course, I was given an anxiolytic (xanax) and an antidepressant (back then, my first one, Prozac liquid).

Just imagine how much my new prescription for Cymbalta would set me back without insurance—it’s almost $67! One box isn't even enough; I need two just to get through the month. But with my coverage, I'm only looking at 20 bucks! So, you tell me—is having good insurance worth it? Of course, everything comes with a price, but life can get a whole lot harder when you're footing the full bill yourself.😠

Kenneth Scott41 said:I'm taking 0.5mg three times a day, and frankly, it feels like I'm not even taking anything at all.👎
That's way too much...

Of course it's not enough—during my worst episodes, I was pulling 6 to 8 doses of 0.5mg Xanax just to stay level.😲😉

urbanskipper4 said:So my boyfriend just dropped the bomb on me—he says we’re "just friends" now. Apparently, he made up his mind about a month ago, but I wouldn't have had a clue if I hadn't cornered him today and asked him straight up.
I mean, I’d been picking up on this weird distance and coldness from him for a while, but I kept hoping we could actually make it work. I knew something was off, just felt it in my gut... but hey, a relationship takes two people, right? You can't carry the whole thing alone.
Anyway, I'm not gonna sit here and vent forever or bore you guys with all my drama. Right now, I just need some peace of mind and some serious downtime.

Hmm, and here I was thinking this was ancient history. Sorry, babe! He really needs to grow up!!!😠

William Hernandez14 said:calixta knocks me sideways. Before bed, I’d feel like a zombie with rubber legs... plus, it made me gain weight.

That is the absolute truth. After three days of doing nothing but sleeping, I told my doctor, and they basically told me to quit that crap immediately. Today I'm starting on Cymbalta, does anyone have any experience with it?

wanderingcyclist20 said:So, I’ve been on Zoloft for about three months now, and I was wondering—what kind of effect does alcohol actually have when you're taking this?
Like, if it's just one little beer, maybe a shandy or something around 2% alcohol?
I haven't even tried it yet!
I used to really love a good glass of red wine or a cold beer, but now, according to my psychiatrist, I’m not supposed to touch a single drop...
So... am I allowed? What are the long-term consequences if I just have one or two beers in the evening?
The other thing is, I just don't feel like going out anymore. Everyone around me is drinking, and I find myself making up all these excuses for why I won't be joining in that night... I really miss that feeling... Just having a beer, or a glass of red wine..........

Honestly, you should probably run this by your doctor rather than asking people on a forum—it's too serious a question, and nobody here wants to take the responsibility if something goes wrong with you.
Plus, the instructions are pretty clear about it—no alcohol while taking these pills. Period.

Roger Bennett62 said:So, basically, how much do antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds actually mess with the quality of, you know, a guy's future sperm? I see all these studies saying women should stop their meds if they get pregnant—unless their doctor decides staying on them is better for the mom's health or whatever...

But what nobody ever seems to talk about is how this stuff affects us guys. Does it change the quality? Will using ADs or anxiety meds impact the kids we eventually try to have?

Sorry if someone already brought this up, but I feel like it’s a pretty heavy topic that deserves some thought, especially since so many young people out there are on various types of therapy for different mental health struggles....

Any thoughts at all would be great. 👍

Chloe Price2 said:Every single night, I find myself needing to take Sominex, and during the day, my doctor has me on half a tablet of Lorazepam as needed. Since both of these medications carry a sedative effect, I’ll admit I’m feeling a bit apprehensive about combining them.

Has anyone here navigated this specific combination before? I’d be curious to hear how it actually felt for you.

I am 20 years old.

Lorasil is meant for quick calming—its metabolites don't linger in your system for long, which is actually pretty good for your liver.

Sanval is for knocking you out fast; you basically need to take it five minutes before bed unless you want to be totally wiped out when it hits you.
