PsychoSocial

PsychoSocial is my deep dive into how humans relate, connect, distort, and behave—socially, emotionally, and psychologically. It’s personal, observational, and reflective of my lived experience navigating people and crowds.

I compare people to animals, not to demean, but to contextualize instinctual and patterned behaviors. It’s about how we communicate: verbally, with layers beneath the words; and nonverbally, through gesture, posture, and silent cues. Topics include truths wrapped in politeness, the complexity of lies, and the quiet mechanics of manipulation—none of it absolute, none of it clean.

The COVID lockdown was a breaking point. You could *see* the hysteria—rippling through media, families, and forums. It changed how I saw people. This project captures that shift, that realization. It became a way to understand others better—and myself.

PsychoSocial is not just about theory—it’s about adaptation. How I found ways to be more open, more human, more connected. It’s about setting boundaries, understanding roles in any room, knowing when to lead, when to listen, and when to get out. Psychedelics like psilocybin helped soften edges. Helped me see more. Feel more. Understand more.

One-on-one? I excel. In a crowd? Comfortable. But put me in a small group—two to five people—and the dynamic fractures. There’s a psychological chaos there. A hierarchy. A pull toward dominance or rebellion. *PsychoSocial* is the blueprint of that tension and the tools I’ve used to navigate it.

This project is for anyone who’s felt too much, seen too much, or tried to decode the social rules no one writes down. It’s for those trying to survive connection with their sense of self intact.
