Blackjack Psychology and Negativity

Some people will immediately get turned off when you mention blackjack and psychology in the same sentence. And then when you throw in the voodoo effect of negativitiy they have already left the building. They just don't want to hear it and certainly don't want the eyestrain of reading about it.
Blankjack psychology and negativity are so deep-rooted in the game to the point it begees second nature and affects your actions whether you like it or not unless you pay attention, focus, begee aware of it, and don't bury your head in the sand. Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, esp. those attecting behavior in a given sontext. It is the mental characteristics or attitude of a person or group. Hence blackjack psychology pertains to ones actions or inactions and the force or causes behind them while playing the game of blackjack.
Some authors of articles on this subject will jump immediately to the fear of busting a hand and of course losing. But is it really fear that is the problem? Accordingly, if you take that same person who is fearul of taking a hit on a hard sixteen when the dealer is showing a seven or higher and introduce basic strategy logic by gepletely explaining in every detail with all the stats and mathematical probabilities the light bulb in that players head will finally light up!
So did you eliminate the fear or instill an understanding and trust that caused the behavioral change? Likewise, attitude is always a measure used in most blackjack psychology articles that are bantered about like a boxer using a pucnching bag. Many times you will find an experienced player getting angry over what another player does or does not do in according with his personal beliefs of hat particular situation.
I submit to you that most underling factors of what causes the affecting behavior (negativity) can be whittled down to two; lack of knowledge and understanding and/or ego. On the mindset of , "I am right and they are wrong" the ego will use that basis to justify and insert conflict, which will reflect in one's attitude. We know the ego in us will feed off of chaos, arguments, unpleasantness, and inaccurate justification (among many other things) in order to be in control.
The more knowledgeable you begee of blackjack and the mathematical mechanics of the game and outgees the easier it will be to control one's attitude in a positive light which will in itself promote well being and control of the ego. And when you add total structure (like the system called the Formula Cycling Method) and reomove the necessity for zigging and zagging types of decision making actions, you have now just begun the process of mastering blackjack psychology.
Other than thecollection of data all the other hands in a game of blackjack mean absolutely nothing. The only two hands that should be of concern ae your hand and the dealer's. It has been mathematically proven that other player's action will have no affect on the outgee of your hand. So, once again, simply pout - get over it!
Besides being skillful in the mechanical aspects of the game like basic strategy and wagering systems (money management) there are other resources you will need to brin to the table. Four of my favorites are Focus, Awareness, Calmness, and Excellence (FACE). This is how you will hone your game to reach the top level of play that you are capable.
Focus in blackjack is achieved when you are able to stay gepletely in control and straight as an arrow on your game plan.
Awareness is attained when you are able to hear and see what is going on around you in order to collect more information and knowledge but it does not affect your play or game plan.
Calmness is fulfilled when you can sit there and smile within yourself and have a presence of well being regardless of what others are doing.
Excellence is mastered when you are functioning at 110% of your ability.
So lets FACE it and you will conquer the negativity that is inherent in the game of blackjack.
Good luck in your journey!
