I have a short (2,000+ words) paper due on November 19th, and I need a decent topic for it. It can be related to any topic in psychology (mental disease, social cause and effects, etc.). I am a mildly talented writer, but when it comes to topics, I always seem to draw a blank. Any help would be much appreciated.

depression

game addiction, laziness.

Narcissism, BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder)

Narcissism would be an interesting one to do, Considering we all have a little bit of it in us ;)

Guys, I want to seem smart on the internet so I'm going to pretend I'm writing a medium length psychology paper.

Why would I fake something that reflects my incompetence and inability to come up with a topic for a small research paper? Also, thanks for the ideas everyone else. Also, agreed Iceblitz.

Hmm hes got ya there War_Hero

And yea if you go look up what Narcissism is, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism You will be suprized it fits many of us. But honestly, if you look hard enough everyone has some sort of mental disorder >.>

I don't think narcissism is a disorder so much as just exaggerated self-importance and vanity.

Yea true, Kind of didn't read the personality trait part of it >.>
