This one agrees with this study. [IMG]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120402215636/masseffect/images/2/28/Hanar_Codex_Image.jpg[/IMG]
I don't know why I'm always depressed, then. I always think of others before myself and make sure that everyone I love and care about is okay before I think of myself.
Interesting to see a study about that, because I actually noticed how I construct senteces around the words "I", "me" and "myself". In the past few weeks I've been trying to avoid formulating sentences like that, but the success-rate wasn't as high as expected. What the last part of the sentence was at first: "but I just fail at that most of the time". This is probably what is meant by the authors of the study.
Well, Ive read somewhere thats its ideal to use the me and you words in a 50-50 basis. This way you dont look like youre focusing too much on either party. And its also good to use the we words because that creates something like a connection between both parties. It might not seem like much but it does make a lot of difference. Also, if youre sad or depressed, you should sing along to this song [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw02oX3_uC8[/media]

[QUOTE=Electrocuter;40531054]Don't really get it, if I'm referring to myself then I'm not going to use plural.[/QUOTE] What the study is implying is that people who use pronouns referring to the self too much have a problem and it is causing depression. Next thing to study would be what kind of mental health issues people who use first-person pronouns excessively have in common.
We are most amused by this. [img]http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/24/10780-kingcosmos.jpg[/img]
