Why Psychologists and Psychiatrists might not be appropriate guides.

There is mastery in loving and understanding People.

I do not authorize psychological nor psychiatric formulations, interpretations nor diagnosis, etc. This is no mental advice nor advice of any kind.

This is for people who consider themselves people oriented or people skilled and/or feel the need to study Psychology and/or Psychiatry, or people who think they do know about human behavior and have something positive to say about the rest of us, including me, or for People willing to listen to their Fantasies, including mines:

It takes around 10,000 hours, as per the discourse, to be a master at it. Right?

So three years ages 2, 3, 4 before Kindergarten times 42 weeks, which is 54 weeks minus 2 months, summer, and end of year 2 weeks Hollidays, times 5 hours per day is 3,780 hours.

At 7 hours per day is: 4,410 hours.

At 8 hours per day is: 5,040 hours.

Half way there for the 10,000 apparent requirement not to develop, but be a master in people´s skills if one spends 8 hours a day 5 times a week from 2-4yrs of age loving and/or caring for people.

And that´s just schooling before Kindergarten.

Now, that does not consider primary school, K7 to K9 nor High School nor free time playing with other People.

It does not consider the standard deviation that in principle makes possible for people, at the talent limb of the curve, at 8 hours per day to be done, being masters at People´s skills at half the 10,000 hours requirement, before even entering Kindergarten.

It does not include the Summa Cum Laude before entering Kindergarten!.

So why would a person with people skills, or with mastery of people´s behavior even go into Psychology or Psychiatry when they left high school?.

Shouldn´t they be Masters at it by then?.

Perhaps they go to Psych training, Yaick!, because they were never good at all at interacting with people and/or understanding people, or learning about people.

It´s in simple arithmetic, what people is supposed to do before Kindergarten, even after!, and the 10,000 supposed metric, so, believers in Psychology and Psychiatry, argue against that!:

Studying Behavior is not going to get you to real knowledge. Even reading and going to College or Postgraduate schooling won´t give it…
