I'm having an argument with someone. They said that majoring in Psychology at a University changes a person, and turns them into someone they're not.
They also said that they'll meet people who give them nightmares. Mostly because that's just the way Psychology is.
True?

Majoring in psychology very often turns the people into who they really are, no longer being an act and wearing the mask they had been wearing due to their upbringing and societies "norms." They experience a freedom that most people don't ever experience. People who have know them before the change may see them as weird.

It changes the student to a better understanding and caring person but they might be more sensitive because of psychological studies. I'm taking it right now and I don't see any weirdos.

When a person is a psychiatrist or even a pschologist they are bound to come across all kinds of people. Sometimes there are people who a psychiatrist or even a psychologist might worry about more then others. Anyway if anything as a psychiatrist or even a psychologist you become more observant of the people around you. So in a sense you might change slightly especially if you were the type of person who used to not pay as much attention to people's behavioral patterns before you entered into your profession.

I don't think majoring in Psychology enabled me to meet anyone that I wouldn't have met anyway - it was a small campus, but we did have our fair share of weirdos - it was the 70's.

I have a minor in Psych, so have taken several classes in it. The only way I think it changed me was to see myself and others in a different light as far as motivation, wants, needs and etc go.
Now, that's not to say that some of my classmates seemed awfully drawn to Abnormal Psych! lol

Not true. Can get into some very interesting conversations and debates. Is the same as any other course that makes you question things and expand your creative thinking.
