สอง-สามปีมานี้ ผมพบว่าคนรอบตัวทั้งเพื่อนพ้องน้องพี่มีอาการเบื่อๆ อยากๆ หรือที่เรียกกันว่า 'โรคซึมเศร้า' กันหลายคน ตัวผมเองก็มีบางช่วงเวลาที่เซ็งๆ เนือยๆ นอยๆ อยู่บ้างเหมือนกัน แต่เมื่อลองนั่งคุยกับคนที่มีอาการของโรคอย่างแท้จริงก็พบว่า คนที่เป็นโรคนั้นมีภาวะที่แตกต่างไป ผมเคยไม่เข้าใจคนที่เป็นโรคนี้มาก่อน ทำให้เผลอปฏิบัติตัวไปในทางที่ผิด คิดอยากช่วยแต่กลับทำให้ทุกอย่างดูแย่ลงไปอีก วันนี้อยากลองแชร์ความคิดและข้อมูลบางอย่างเผื่อจะเป็นประโยชน์ท...

Two-three years ago, I found that people around me, friends, brothers and sisters. I want to be bored, aka ' depression '. Many people have some times that I'm tired. Some of the same time, but when I sit and talk to someone who has a real disease, I found that people with different condition. I didn't understand. People who have this disease before. I accidentally act in the wrong way. I want to help, but I do everything. Looking worse today. I want to share some thoughts and information. In case it's beneficial with depression, including close ones. Of course I'm not a doctor. I just want to tell you and talk about some aspects. If anyone has good information or helpful ways to do it. Feel free to share. It should be beneficial to many people.
...
1. Before speaking, we should listen.
People around patients with depression often judge and look at their own eyes. We always try to sedition to be strong, have goals, ask about passion, and whatever you think it will be powerful with life. Sometimes I accidentally scold. Said why he is so tired, lazy, long spine, doesn't do anything. Sometimes I encourage him to get up to do something. All of this with best wishes, but know that for patients. These things. The more it makes the situation worse because it shows the understanding of the condition he is experiencing. If someone close to be bored before he lets him do many things, we should give him a bit of how he feels about the world and our lives. To understand more
...
Lol he didn't want to be
When we listen, we will understand that the condition he is very difficult because it is an insensitive feeling about everything, no negative, no negativity, nothing, no meaning, don't want to don't want to do anything, don't want to talk to anyone, which he doesn't even want to be The more pressure in the world that everyone has to work hard, the more you feel worthless. I want to get up to work, but I don't have enough strength. Besides being tired, we still have to fight the value that society around you. It's a time that is not easy. I am.
...
Lol he may not be stressed by anything. Suddenly it happens.
Everyone has stress, but it's all caused by something. While this disease is different. Sometimes - one day this symptom happened yesterday, I still smile. Today we can't tell him. " Hey, keep thinking positive " or " just change the way of thinking, life changes " something like that. When it happens, it will last for weeks or months. During that time. Patients will be the one who don't want to do anything, whether it's work. Playing or even showing love with love is a great time of understanding and if he says " you don't understand me that's what he really wants to say
...
4. Give him time to give us time
During that time, he will change to a different person. It may be a bad person who has been active. May not be bored of work. I may not get out of bed or insomnia, no strength. Sometimes I don't think that they don't want to live. It's a time when people. All around you should give time to not try to make him get well quickly because it's impossible. But it shouldn't be more pressure or take care of it. Because this moment, he may not have much mood to interact with anyone. Give time. Him and with us.
...
Lol it's about chemicals in the brain
What we should understand is that this disease is not caused by an attitude or perspective to the world. Even when it affects the world, but the cause of the brain, there may be some chemicals in the brain that is low or some medical disorders. Still can't answer. What is the real cause of it? It may be genes or mixed environment. When we understand this, we will see that it's normal that people have some disease in some times. Comparison to cold may not be right, but think about it. Sometimes some diseases come into life. Give it time. It will slowly unfold.
...
Lol call it a disease to feel normal
When this is a symptom of a disease. Instead of a disease, we should feel like it is normal for human beings. It should not feel that we should not feel bad. We have a disease or someone beside us. Just a normal thing that happens to keep us beside each other to support and understand together.
...
7. Do you want to change the name of the disease?
I really want to rethink about this disease. The word ' depression ' makes us not want to tell anyone that I have this disease. In fact, we are not going to be depressed for the rest of my life or all the time. I want to call it ' disease. What are you tired? ' because it's temporarily tired. Well, people can be tired? It's only temporary. I will come back to have new power. Just ' I'm not ' not ' depressed ' Go forever. Don't panic.
...
Haha. Invite him to go to the doctor.
Many patients don't know that there is a disease in the world. Some people may not admit that they are in America. There is an average that each patient takes more than ten years to ask for advice from the doctor. Even going to the doctor can help you feel better. Sitting and talking. Paying medicine to balance brain chemistry, including doctor's advice is beneficial to patients. If someone close to have some symptoms, you should recommend him to go to the doctor. It's like we have a sore throat and fever. We need to find a doctor. Isn't we find a doctor? Doctor cures this disease. It's not a shocking thing. As I said it's normal. People can have a disease.
...
Haha. You are not weak. You can tell each other.
Whether we have this disease or close ones, one thing we should understand is that we are not weaker than others. It's one condition that something in the brain is unbalanced. In that condition may have an idea to compare ourselves to others, such as opening Facebook. I feel like everyone is happier than me (a little less on Facebook) or compare to myself when I'm brighter, but it's similar to when we ankle. We can't go back to being the same right away even if I speed up the day. No matter how much you speed up, open-minded talk can heal the feeling, including telling the thoughts of suicide can help reduce the risk of suicide too. The close ones should open your mind and listen and some people should open your mind to tell the feeling. People we can trust. Tell the world that I have this disease. People around you will understand that in the midst of society that don't understand. Patients will make patients feel worried. We don't dare to tell anyone. So we need more understanding in society for the story that are walking around. Inside will be told more comfortably.
...
Lol let's exercise
I found that many brothers and sisters who have a disease. Better, brighter, more power from exercise. Even if you try and do it continuously, you will slowly feel better. Exercise may cause some chemicals in the brain to add good feelings for us. Some people say that we have lived in the field before. Before we have to run for food. Now we have to sit in a narrow air conditioning room all day. It makes it unnatural. So we should find When you return to our natural activity. Exercise is a magic pill. It helps both chemicals. It helps to help healthy. If there are people close to you, try to invite them to exercise together. But don't have to much pressure. Take it slow.
...
All that I think spreading knowledge of understanding is very important. Both close level is to interaction with patients in the house. If we understand, we will treat each other better and at the level of Society is wide. If society understands, patients will dare to speak. Dare to tell others stories and feelings.
It's not strange that we have some moments to cross over. Whether at the level of family or society. I think we need understanding of each other to be beside each other to cross that time. There is still a bright tomorrow waiting. I'm still here.
If it's not too disturbing, I want to share this information to help create more understanding of this disease. If anyone has any information, please comment and tell me. It should be beneficial to everyone.

ตามนั้น คือคุณจะเกลียดอีลุงตู่ เกลียดเสี่ยหนู ยังไงก็ตามสะดวก
แต่อย่าเอาความเกลียดนั้นไปโหมข่าวเท็จโจมตี จนท ควบคุมโรค ที่เขาทำงานแบบหามรุ่งหามค่ำมาตลอดเดือนเพือพวกเราทุกคน
....เหตุที่ ภรรยาของผมของขึ้นกับเฟกนิวส์เรื่องไวรัส. เพราะว่าน้องสาวเธอทำงานในส่วนของการไปคัดกรองผู้โดยสาร. ที่ทำงานวันละ 12. ชัวโมง.
....นอกจากต้องรองรับอารมณ์ผู้โดยสารชาวจีนตลอดทั้งวันแล้ว. การที่ต้องเป็นด่านแรกมีโอกาสติดเชื้อก่อนคนอื่น. แต่ต้องพยายามสุดกำลัง เพื่อไม่ให้ใครที่ติดเชื้อไปแพร่กระจายสู่ภายในประเทศ.
....ความเครียดคือเครื่องแสกนก็มีข้อจำกัด. เนื่องจากเชื้อมีเวลาฟักตัว. 2-7. วัน. ดังนั้น ผู้โดยสารที่ไม่มีไข้ก็ไม่ค่อยจะให้ความร่วมมือ. แถมการสื่อสารก็ทำได้ยาก. เพราะคนจีนส่วนมากไม่ค่อยใข้ภาษาอังกฤษ. ดังนั้นการใช้เครื่องมืออย่างอื่น เพื่อประกอบการวินิจฉัย. จึงยิ่งต้องใกล้ชิดกับผู้โดยสาร.
....เธอโทรไปหาน้องด้วยความเป็นห่วงตลอดเท่าที่ฝ่ายนั้นจะสะดวกรับสายได้. มีครั้งหนึ่งเหมือนฝ่ายน้องสาวจะร้องไห้. ระบายว่าทำกันเต็มที่แล้ว. ก็ยังโดนเฟกนิวส์กระหน่ำ จนไม่อยากเปิดอ่านไลน์ หรือเฟสบุ๊ค. ราวกับว่าที่พวกเขาพยายามกันอยู่ตอนนี้. มันไร้ความหมาย. ราวกับพวกเขาไร้ความรับผิดชอบ. และไร้ความสามารถ
....จะเกลียดใครทำลายใคร. แต่ให้คิดถึงคนที่เขาทำหน้าที่อย่างเต็มที่ด้วยว่า. เขาไม่ได้เกี่ยวข้องกับความขัดแย้งของพวกคุณ. ในทางกลับกัน พวกเขาคือคนที่เสี่ยงภัย. เป็นรั้วเป็นเกราะป้องกันให้พวกคุณปลอดภัยจากไวรัส. ที่สามารถฆ่าคุณได้. อยากด่านายกก็ด่าไป แต่อย่าทำลายขวัญและกำลังใจเจ้าหน้าที่ผู้ปฏิบัติงาน
....อันนี้เพิ่มเติม ก่อนจะมาแย้งอะไร. รู้จักระบบราชการไทยไหม เวลาพวกระดับสูงเต้นเป็นเจ้าเจ้านี่. ใครซวย. อย่ามาโลกสวย.
....การสร้างข่าวเท็จว่าพบนักท่องเที่ยวจีนล้มที่อุโมงค์ และสนามบินภูเก็ต คนที่โดนตำหนิคือเจ้าหน้าที่คัดกรอง.ที่ทำเต็มที่แล้วแต่ยังโดนใส่ร้าย.
.... The reason my wife is up to Facebook News about the virus. Because her sister works part of the passenger screening. At work, 12. hours a day, cuddle hours a day.
.... Besides supporting Chinese passenger mood all day long. Having to be the first stage. There is a chance to get infected before others. But I have to do my best to not let anyone infected spread into the country.
.... Stress is a scanner. There are limitations. Because I have time to hatch. 2-7. days. So the passenger with no fever is not quite cooperative. Plus communication is hard to do. Because most Chinese people don't use English. So using other tools to perform a diagnosis So I have to be closer to the passenger.
.... She always calls her sister with concern. As far as that side can be convenient to pick up. There was once like a sister was crying. Let's say that we have done our best. I still got hit by Facebook News that I don't want to read Line or Facebook. As if they are trying now. It's meaningless. As if they are irresponsible. And incompetent
.... Who will I hate to destroy? But think about the person he serves his best with. He ain't involved in your conflict. On the other hand, they are risky people. Fence is armored. Keep you safe from the virus. That can kill you. If you want to take care of long time, just scold but don't destroy the gift and support the staff, practitioners
.... This one is more before you argue with anything. Do you know the Thai government system when the high level of people dance like this? Who is unlucky? Don't come to beautiful world.
.... Creating false news that Chinese tourists fell down at tunnels and Phuket airport. The one who is blamed is the screening officer. I did my best but I still got framed.Translated

[WHY ASIANS ARE 'CUTER' (SCIENTIFIC BREAKDOWN)]
So, here’s a statement: ‘Asians are cuter’.
If you were offended by that, this video is probably not what you think. Everyone has their own opinions of what constitutes as attractive.
But I’m not necessarily talking about ‘attractiveness’ here; I’m talking about ‘cuteness’. Cuteness is a term describing a type of attractiveness commonly associated with youth and appearance. It’s also a scientific concept. So when I say ‘Asians are cuter’, well, they arguably are; and that’s including males, not just females.
Now, compared to adults, common features for infants across all ethnic groups include larger heads, flatter faces, reduction of the brow ridge, hairlessness, thinner bones, reduced muscle mass, smaller physical size, shorter arms, shorter legs, just to name a few - and of course this is largely why people find babies cute. If they didn’t have these features and proportions, they’d more so resemble miniature adults and that’s kind of creepy.
The video covers:
- Neoteny in East Asians
- How retention of neotenous, childlike traits relate to ethnicity
- Neoteny in humans in general
- Sexual attraction to neotenous traits
- Asian fever vs Cuteness fever
- Neotenous features vs Non-neotenous features
- Gene Mutations that gave East Asians their distinctive appearance
- Neoteny's role in sexual selection
- Are small and slanted stereotypical 'Asian Eyes' neotenous?
- Japan's kawaii culture (South Korea & China as well)
- Psychological neoteny
- Logan Paul's immature antics
- & more!

We could have had it all

You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it to the beat
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go 'head and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
See how I leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and its bringing me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless, I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it to the beat

WHY ASIANS ARE YELLOW-SKINNED
Some people find yellow an offensive or racist term to describe Asians for various reasons.
"Asians are not actually yellow!"
"Hey, Asians aren’t cowards!"
"There is no ONE Asian colour!"
"Did you know Yellow or Yellow Peril is rooted in historical irrational racist perceptions, that the West had for the East?"
"Labels divide people. We need fewer labels, not more!"
And then there’s the other viewpoint, that 'Yellow' isn’t offensive:
"Why is calling someone white or black not racist, but then when you call them yellow, all of a sudden..."
"Yellow just describes ones' appearance, like calling someone skinny, short, tall, dark-haired…"
"...but Asians actually have a yellow hue to them!"
"Cmon, Asians even call themselves yellow!"
Actually that last one is interesting. Do Asians themselves find Yellow offensive?
Well understandably there are South East Asians, Indians, Afghans, Iraqis who find it offensive because they are far from yellow. But I think, in saying yellow, most people are referring to East Asians anyway.
So do EAST Asians find Yellow offensive?
Recently Apple angered many Asian people by their creation of yellow-shaded emojis, part of their attempt at racial emoji diversity - and many Asians took to Twitter to voice their concerns.
But, hey wait, I’ve heard Asians refer to themselves as Yellow too.
"Yellow Power!"
"Everyone’s got yellow fever!"
"Check out the yellow bullet! (Liu Xiang, Gold Medalist)
"...one of China’s legendary cultural heroes, The Yellow Emperor."
Okay, so the jury is still out on just how offensive it is; but who do we blame for all of this?
Some think it’s to do with the fact that Asian civilisation first developed around the Yellow River in China.
But after doing some research, I found this guy, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840) - a German naturalist, physiologist and anthropologist who was the first to explore the study of mankind as an aspect of natural history.
He came up with the five color typology for humans - the white race (Caucasians), the black race (sub-Saharan Africans), the brown race (Pacific Islanders), the red race (American Indians) and of course, the yellow race (East Asians).
And ever since then, the idea of Asians as yellow has been ingrained in our heads. Look no further than the Power Rangers. Specifically, the yellow power ranger.
Going back to the original question - Why are Asians yellow? (or yellowish)
The answer, is genetic. But more specifically, Asians have more carotene pigments in their skin, and carotene imparts a yellowish coloration.
Also Asians have a low body mass index (BMI) but higher body fat percentage; and much of this fat lies just under their skin. Fat tends to be yellowish in nature, so Asian skin often looks yellowish.
In comparison, Caucasians have less carotene and a much thinner layer of fat under their skin; so they’re less yellowy and more white.
At the end of the day, personally, I don’t really take much offence to being referred to as yellow. But then again, I do make videos on youtube about sensitive racial matters, so I do have to have thick skin (under which there is a layer of yellow fat).
Whatever color we are, it doesn’t really matter. We’re all the same. We are all interchangeable.
Especially when it comes to The Simpsons, the show where white people are yellow, and yellow people are white.
