Sometimes, looking at a person, people around say: “Yes, he has cockroaches in his head.” What do they mean? Usually people are characterized in this way by their unusual behavior, extraordinary tricks, various eccentricities, in general, not like everyone else.
What does this expression mean?
A “cockroach in my head” is a thought constantly spinning in my head, usually of a negative color, which affects a person’s behavior. At least one insect is present in most people. However, if there are a lot of them, then they significantly complicate life, making it hopeless.
And yet, no one is safe from actions, after which the cockroaches in the head are applauding.
Where do cockroaches come from?
As a rule, the root of most human problems originates from childhood. While the child is growing and growing up, he is faced with certain problems that are very difficult to overcome on their own. And, if he does not have good support, then his fragile psyche can easily be influenced by others: society dictates unspoken rules of behavior, imposes stereotypes and cliches.
On the one hand, it’s easier to live this way, you don’t have to think about it, almost all situations have ready-made patterns of behavior. But there are also disadvantages: such a person is driven into a certain behavioral framework and does not allow much for himself, considering it unlawful. These people are easier to manage. They do not believe in themselves and when faced with difficulties give up, self-esteem is getting lower.
Ultimately, they put up with a state of affairs that does not suit them, and expect nothing good from life.
And when success strikes such a person in the head, cockroaches become more active and can bring him out of a state of mental equilibrium.
Why get rid of cockroaches
If a cockroach in his head settled not one, but in the company of numerous brothers, he will not allow his master to enjoy life. At the same time, a person is engaged in an unloved affair, earns little money, he does not manage to build relationships with others, to create a couple. He does not dare to take a serious step: to change housing, to leave a boring job, change his profession or break off unnecessary relationships. And if nothing is done, then you can earn stress or a more serious psychological disorder.
How to etch cockroaches
To drive cockroaches out of the head, first you need to realize their presence.
As a rule, people with such problems do not even suspect that something is wrong with them. They tend to blame anyone for their failures, but not themselves. For example, if a girl cannot get married in any way, she thinks that she is wearing a crown of celibacy. Having understood that the point is not in someone else, but in internal problems, it is necessary to act.
To decide on a change, it is useful to read the success stories of famous people, especially those who have achieved everything without assistance, overcoming many obstacles.
First of all, you need to fill your life with interesting activities, for example:
- to master a profession that has long been dreamed of;
- find a hobby to your liking;
- study foreign languages;
- watch comedy films;
- read humorous stories;
- add physical activity to life.
It is necessary for something in life to work out, then self-esteem will increase, and cockroaches will begin to disappear.
And yet, if you fill the day with useful things, there will be no time for gloomy thoughts and self-will. In addition, you should not perceive the words of others as immutable truth. Do not let other people add a cockroach to their heads. It’s important to remember that this is just someone’s opinion.
If it is difficult to drive a cockroach out of your head yourself, then you can turn to professional psychologists for help.
In the end, it is everyone’s personal business: to get rid of cockroaches or leave everything as it is, because everyone is the master of his life.
