This post is related to @anomadsoul’s challenge which requires the ones nominated to select and compile 10 posts of their overall works on Steemit, which they are proud of and would like to share with others. As far as I understood, the basic idea behind this challenge is to tell your current readers what you blog about and to let them to get to know you better. This initiative is great, given the fact that the way currently Steemit operates is not the best in terms of promoting quality content, which is another important topic, but anyway.

I am really glad that one of the bloggers which I look mostly up to here on Steemit @abigail-dantes has nominated me in her last article on this challenge. So here it goes :)

Prior to this blog, I’ve never had any other. For the past 10 months I’ve tried to learn how to read and write properly. The community of @SteemSTEM has helped me a lot. Different members have been giving me feedback and constructive criticism and I thank them for that. Today I continue learning.

Most of you already know that I work as a full time psychologist. My work is mostly related to criminal psychology and working with the polygraph on a daily basis. Given these facts, it’s no surprise that most of my content is related to criminal psychology. But criminal psychology is not my only field of interest in psychology in general. I am actively reading all sorts of scientific content related to AI, psychology and AI, neuroscience and it’s relation to psychological phenomena.

Below I would try to present a set of articles which I think describes the content of this blog most accurately.

1. You might be an addict and still don't know about it.

I would say that this is my first serious article, which was intended to be used in a research, but eventually I dropped it. At this point I had no clue how Steemit works. I haven’t heard about any communities and I had no idea how to use the hashtags. Even though the content is original, the structure is terrible.It received exactly 5 views and 0 payment. But as we all know good things in life don’t happen easy. So, I wrote another one.

2. How the excessive daily use of Internet could affect your memory

The excessive use of internet is a dangerous thing :). This article is actually a part of the previous one. The structure still sucks, but this time some people actually read it and rewarded me, which motivated me even more to go on.

3. Virtual Reality Therapy - An Effective Treatment For Psychological Disorders

As I already said, the interaction between technology and psychology is one of my favorite topics and I am really glad that this was the first article which was recognized by others on this platform. After few failed attempts to figure out how exactly Steemit works and how to reach to people with similar interests, finally I found support from SteemSTEM community. I realized that this is the place where I belong on this platform and since then I’ve met a lot of great people and found where the scientific quality content had been “hiding” so far.

4. What Doеs Thе Polygraph Mеasurе? Part I: A Briеf History And Introduction To Thе Mеthod

An emblematic article in my blog. One of my goals in this platform is to create discussions on various topics in psychology, because when the truth is hidden in constructive dialogues. Regardless of its 100 year history, the polygraph method is shrouded with a lot of mythology and misconception. That's why I wrote this article, which was the first of few to follow based on the same issue.

5. Going Through An Existential Crisis? It’s Okay - Everybody Is

When it comes to psychology I am not really into all that "How to stay positive and motivated" bullshit which is so popular and taught by "experts", life couches and other aliens. Instead I would like to discuss conditions which are common for most people, but they don't like to talk about. It's common to suppress negative thoughts and emotions. But by doing so, most people do not realize how much their everyday life is affected by them. Finding strength in our darkest moments is the key to a happy and healthy life.

6. Cаn The Wаy We Perceive Time Mаke Us Immortаl?

Sometimes I would like to get philosophical. But not too much. Thanks to SteemSTEM, almost everything I blog about has to have a scientific ground. And I love when psychology, philosophy and science meet. If you are into these topics, I think you would find this work interesting :)

7.The "consequences" Of Being a Psychologist

I am really proud with this one, even though it's nothing special. If you are a psychologist and you can relate to it, then I achieved my goal. If you are wondering what "does it take" to be psychologist and you found this article useful, then I achieved my goal.

8. Inside the Manipulator’s Mind: The Dark Triad of Personality

The dark side of us. What are others trying to hide from us? How to protect ourselves from malicious people? What does it take to be a manipulator? There are several articles, including this one, in which I am trying to find the answer to these questions. If you have been asking yourself the same, you would enjoy this read.

9. Are We Born Criminals? Part I: The Positive Theory

This article was the first of the series on the topic Are we born criminals? If you are bothered by this question, I suggest you read this article and the ones which followed in order to get the whole picture.

10. Are You Stuck With 'Being Yourself'?

There is no perfect person. Some people make us really happy - others not so much. And while we cannot change other people and make them perfect for us, can we change ourselves? Or we are just stuck with our negative sides and have to deal with it?

Conclusion

All of the above mentioned articles have been mentioned in chronological order. While they are not perfect and probably it would take me another year to find the text structure which fits best for me, I am really happy that I had the opportunity to look through my entire works so far. I could say that the past 10 months were not easy for me and I learned a lot on this platform. Met a lot of great people, some of which inspired a lot of my content.

I think that similar to any other challenge, this is the part where I have to nominate people to participate. I am sure that all of them are busy af but let's see what would happen :) So, the first one is @trumpman, who posts on various topic, some of which make me laugh a lot. Next is @erh.germany. I love discussing various topics with her and sometimes her comments make my head hurt - in a good way. Thank you. Lastly I would like to tackle @insight-out, who is still "new" here, but already has contributed with quality content on various psychology topics.

Shots fired, guys :)
