Sometimes, looking at a person, people around say: “Yes, he has cockroaches in his head.” What do they mean? Usually this is how people are characterized by unusual behavior, extraordinary antics, various eccentricities, in general, not like everyone else.
What does this expression mean?
"A cockroach in the head" is a thought constantly spinning in the head, usually of a negative color, which affects a person's behavior. Most people have at least one insect. However, if there are a lot of them, then they noticeably complicate life, making it hopeless.
And yet, no one is immune from acts, after which the cockroaches in the head applaud standing.
Where do cockroaches come from
As a rule, the root of most human problems originates from childhood. While the child grows and matures, he faces certain problems that are very difficult to overcome on his own. And, if he does not have good support, then others can easily influence his fragile psyche: society dictates unspoken rulesbehavior, imposes stereotypes and clichés.
On the one hand, it's easier to live this way, you don't need to think about it, there are ready-made patterns of behavior for almost all situations. But there are also disadvantages: such a person is driven into certain behavioral limits and does not allow himself much, considering it unlawful. These people are easier to manage. They do not believe in themselves and give up when faced with difficulties, self-esteem becomes lower.
Ultimately, they resign themselves to a state of affairs that does not suit them, and do not expect anything good from life.
And when success hits such a person in the head, cockroaches become active and can take him out of a state of mental balance.
Why get rid of cockroaches
If a cockroach settled in the head not alone, but in the company of numerous brothers, it will not let its owner enjoy life. At the same time, a person is engaged in an unloved business, earns little money, he cannot build relationships with others, create a couple. He does not dare to take a serious step: change housing, leave a boring job, change a profession or break off unnecessary relationships. And if nothing is done, then you can earn stress or a more serious psychological disorder.
How to eradicate cockroaches
To get cockroaches out of your head, you first need to be aware of their presence.
As a rule, people with such problems do not even suspect that something is wrong with them. They tend to blame their failures on anyone but themselves. For example, if a girlcan’t get married in any way, then she thinks that she has a crown of celibacy. Realizing that the matter is still not in someone, but in internal problems, it is necessary to act.
To decide on a change, it is useful to read the success stories of famous people, especially those who have achieved everything without help, overcoming many obstacles.

- master the profession you have long dreamed of;
- find a hobby to your liking;
- learn foreign languages;
- watch comedy movies;
- read humorous stories;
- add physical activity to your life.
You need something in life to work out, then self-esteem will increase, and cockroaches will begin to disappear.
And yet, if you fill the day with useful things, there will be no time for gloomy thoughts and self-blame. In addition, do not take the words of others as an indisputable truth. Don't let other people put cockroaches in your head. It's important to remember that this is just someone's opinion.
If it's hard to drive a cockroach out of your head on your own, then you can seek help from professional psychologists.
In the end, it's everyone's own business: get rid of cockroaches or leave everything as it is, because everyone is the master of his own life.
