Psychology & Social Behavior Writer

Brian Cooper writes about psychology and social behavior — the personality traits that quietly drain the people around them, the etiquette people don't realize they're breaking, and the subtle social habits that shape how trustworthy or exhausting someone comes across. He's especially interested in the small, everyday interactions that reveal more about a person than they'd probably like to admit.

Brian tends to cross-check "psychology says" style claims against actual research before writing about them, since a lot of viral personality-trait content turns out to be more opinion than science once you look closer. He'd rather cite something real than repeat a claim just because it's been shared everywhere online.

He writes for readers who are curious about why people act the way they do — not to judge anyone, but to understand the social patterns most people never stop to think about.
