Psychology is one of the most interesting subjects; we pursue it because it because it is something that we are truly love and are fascinated with. We're also usually in it to help others. However, sometimes the responses of others after we tell them what our major is enough to make our eyes roll. Here our 5 of the most universally annoying responses:

1. "Are you analyzing me?"

No, I am not. For one, I am not a licensed psychologist (yet), therefore I do not have the skill set to do so. When or if I ever decide to become a licensed psychologist, chances are I'm not just analyzing everyone I meet for fun. I think you're safe there.

2. "Your job is just to listen to other's complain."

Actually, psychology entails much more than simply listening to other's grievances. Counseling is just one career path out of hundreds you can choose from with a degree in psychology. Even then, counselors do much more than "listen to other's complain". Counselor's seek to help other's cope with grievances in life and help others move on, reflect, personally grow, and much more.

3. Psychology isn't a real science.

This is probably by far the most annoying response. According to dictionary definition, science is the study of structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiments. Last time I checked, people are very much a part of the physical and natural world. Psychology studies the behaviors of people through observation and experimentation. Psychology is a real science.

4. You can't get a job with a degree in psychology.

There are plenty of people who get jobs with their psychology degrees. Once again, you don't have to just go into counseling. You can go into education, health, business, the options are endless really. Plus, you don't even have to go into a career centered around psychology. Psychology teaches people a large skill set which can be employed in other fields as well.

5. You don't have to go to school to learn psychology, it's just common sense.

Sure, you may generally understand certain things about human nature because you're a person and you're a part of society; however, that does not mean you know psychology. Psychology is a science that's built on years upon years of observation and experiments. People are still learning new things about this field. After taking a couple classes, I've learned so much that I didn't know before and even then I know that I have barely scraped the surface.
