Hypnotic

You are sitting in a velvet read fold up cushioned seat, a line of people are on your right and on your left. A Crowd is staring at all of you while a large man keeps repeating, "You can only hear my voice tune everything else out," in a pathetic attempt to hypnotize you. Of course your mind is far from only listening to his voice. You are wondering, Is this working...I have to go pee...wait PAY ATTENTION...Everyone is starring at me. Then the hypnotist says, "On the count of three you will fall asleep...One...two...Three." Everyone, including you, drops their heads and seem to be asleep. You aren't asleep at all though, you just did this so you wouldn't look like a fool in front of everyone.

This scenario has happened to me twice. Once in eight grade and then again this weekend at my amazingly great work party, i went solely for the free food/gift but decided to join in on the fun and try to get hypnotized. A quarter of the way into the presentation i decided that it definitely hadn't worked and I walked off stage, the person sitting next to me quickly followed. I had noticed that a few other people had walked off earlier. As a watched the rest off the show i couldn't help but think half of them were faking the whole thing.
I don't think that a person can't be hypnotized i just think it takes a certain kind of person to do this and also a very well practiced hypnotist. The kind of person has to be able to be completely relaxed and be able to clear their mind. This is my flaw, i cannot not think if i was forced. This is a very interesting topic, hypnosis is. In fact we just learned about it in Psychology a little bit ago. There are two theories of what happens to a person when they get "hypnotised". Some people think that hypnosis is a unique physiological state, one that a person cannot enter without the help of a hypnotist

Hypnosis researchers believe that hypnosis involves social influences and a special state of dissociation consciousness. So the subjects are partly doing what they are doing to satisfy everyone else but also their mind is separate from the conscience. It's kind of like when you are are getting tickled. If you concentrate hard enough you can disassociate the sensation with the feeling and it won't tickle. This is the same thing that happens with hypnosis.
