Hey Psych2goers, welcome back to another brand new video. Let's begin. Do you feel like you're fighting a battle alone? Slogging through the darkness by yourself. Do you try to force positivity and optimism into your life? No matter how bad things are, we want to reassure you that you're not alone. It can be hard and stifling and maybe there are some things that you're dealing with that aren't so pretty. If you're not happy or hurting about something, it's important that you acknowledge it instead of repressing and ignoring it. Here are six signs that you are hurting subconsciously. Number one, you avoid being alone with your own thoughts. Are you constantly looking to be doing things that distract you from your thoughts? Of course with how hectic and busy routines have gotten, there is a chance that you might not be doing this on purpose. However, if you are avoiding being alone with your own thoughts on purpose, this might be a sign that you're hurting subconsciously. Generally, when you choose to suppress emotions, these are related to negative memories or experiences. Such emotions include anger, sadness, frustration and fear. And of course, being by yourself without doing anything distracting will lead to these emotions surfacing, which is why you avoid being by yourself with your own thoughts. Being alone with your own thoughts and self-reflecting is very important. It allows you to have an accurate estimation of the state of your well-being and make decisions that will be better for you with your current circumstances. Number two, you feel uncomfortable when you have to talk about your feelings. Do you often talk about your feelings with other people? How do you feel when someone asks you how you're doing? If you feel uncomfortable discussing your feelings with others, it might be a sign that you're hurting subconsciously. Similar to how you avoid being alone with your thoughts, discussing your feelings with others will resurface the emotions that you're trying to suppress. There are a number of factors that affect which emotions you suppress, including the guidance you receive from parents or role models about dealing with these emotions. It's very normal for parents or role models to constantly tell you that you should avoid feeling bad emotions, such as the ones mentioned above. However, even though you can avoid negative emotions in the short term, they will always bottle up until you address them. Number three, you go along with everything without expressing your wants or needs. How often do you prioritize your own wants and needs over other people's? If you're constantly doing what other people want you to do without ever expressing what you would like to do, chances are that you're hurting subconsciously. You might be afraid that by letting people know what you want and need, the negative emotions that are hurting you will show. And of course, this can happen subconsciously. There is a chance that you simply don't express your wants and needs because you like to be a flexible person. There's nothing wrong with that and flexible friends who are willing to sacrifice what they want to help others are very valuable. But if you feel like something is off, try giving yourself some time to self-reflect and figure out the reason why you don't express your wants and needs. Number four, you feel nervous or stressed most of the time. Are you in a constant state of alert and tension? This is one of the biggest and most common signs that you're hurting subconsciously. Your emotional state will be under a lot of pressure if there is a repressed negative feeling or emotion that is affecting you without being addressed. Not processing these repressed emotions will not disappear by themselves and will result in psychological and physical issues that's left unattended. So if you can notice yourself being nervous about everything or constantly feeling stressed out for reasons that usually don't affect you, you're most likely hurting subconsciously. Number five, you're easily angered and have frequent mood swings. Are you flying off the handle without warning?  Subconscious hurts can manifest themselves into feelings of anger and upsets. For example, imagine having recently broken up with your romantic partner because they cheated on you. Now instead of addressing the anger and disappointment of being portrayed, you just carry on like everything is fine.   And number six, you're having terrible nightmares.  Factors such as stress or past trauma can cause people to remember dreams and nightmares much more vividly. Your subconscious mind communicates to you through a number of ways, including dreams. So if you're experiencing terrible nightmares, it most likely means that your mind is telling you that there is some pain or negative emotion affecting it. To address this, as soon as you wake up from a terrible nightmare, try to write down what you experienced on a piece of paper and self-reflect. There might be a connection between what you dreamt and your real life. Did you relate to any of these signs? If so, what do you plan to do next? Tell us in the comments below.

Trusted types help prevent cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. Form elements get an important makeover. There's a new way to detect memory leaks. And the native file system API starts a new origin trial with added functionality. I'm Pete LaPage. Let's dive in and see what's new for developers in Chrome 83. DOM-based cross-site scripting is one of the most common security vulnerabilities on the web. It can be easy to accidentally introduce one to your page. Trusted types can help prevent these kind of vulnerabilities because they require you to process the data before passing it into a potentially dangerous function. Take inner HTML, for example. With trusted types turned on, if I try to pass a string, it'll fail with a type error because the browser doesn't know if it can trust the string. Instead, I either need to pass in a trusted type or create the element and use a pen child. Before you turn on trusted types, you'll want to identify and fix any violations using a report-only CSB header. Then, once you've got everything buttoned up, you can turn it on properly. Complete details are on web.dev. We use HTML form controls every day, and they are the key to so much of the web's interactivity. They're easy to use, they've got built-in accessibility, and they're familiar to our users. The styling of form controls can be inconsistent across browsers and operating systems, and we frequently have to ship a number of CSS rules just to get a consistent look across devices. I've been really impressed by the work that Microsoft has been doing to modernize the appearance of form controls. Beyond the nicer visual styles, they bring better touch support and better accessibility, including improved keyboard support. The new form controls have already landed in Microsoft Edge and are now available in Chrome 83. For more information, see the post linked in the description. Starting an origin trial in Chrome 83, Performance.MeasureMemory is a new API that makes it possible to measure the memory usage of your page and detect memory leaks. Memory leaks are easy to accidentally introduce, for example, forgetting to unregister an event listener, capturing objects from an iframe, not closing a worker, objects in arrays, and so on. Memory leaks lead to pages that appear slow and bloated to users. There's a great post on web.dev with all the details of the new API. The native file system API started a new origin trial in Chrome 83 with support for writable streams and the ability to save file handles. writable streams make it much easier to write to a file, and because it's a stream, you can easily pipe responses from one stream to another. Saving file handles to index DB allows you to store state or remember what files the user was working on. For example, you can keep a list of recently edited files or open the last file that the user was working on, and so on. You'll need a new origin trial token to use these features, so check out my updated article on web.dev with all the details and how you can get your new origin trial token. Chrome now supports the barcode detection API, which provides the ability to detect and decode barcodes, and the new CSS at supports function provides feature detection for CSS selectors. Of course, there's plenty more in Chrome 83. All the details, including links, docs, specs, are in the updates post linked in the description.

I'm Pete LaPage, and I need a haircut, but as soon as Chrome 84 is released, I'll be right here to tell you what's new in Chrome.
