Psych IRL
Psych IRL (@designingdonna) is a YouTube account focused on psychology and mental health, run by Donna Yatz. Yatz uses her channel to apply the principles of psychology to real life stories and scenarios,[lower-alpha 1] and apply a psychological lens to everyday experiences.[1] She joined YouTube on August 21, 2020.[2]
She has also discussed various internet feuds with reference to psychology, including: the appeal of Trisha Paytas (as well as her mental health issues[3]) and beauty YouTuber feuds. Yatz talks about manipulation, parasocial relationships, and cryptomnesia, relating these to said feuds.[4] She has also spoken out against "cancel culture"[5] and the difference between bullying and legitimate criticism on the internet.[6]
In 2020, alongside AsapSCIENCE and others, Yatz also featured in a YouTube original series Sleeping With Friends, a competition in which participants aim to get the best night's sleep.[7][8][9] That year, she was nominated for an award at the 12th Annual Shorty Awards.[10]
