I wonder!

How could you lose someone without having him/her?

Let’s see if honesty works 😉

No BS today. No clever psychology. No someone else’s inspirational quote. And no pretending to be smarter than I am 🙂 I just want to level up and I need your support 🙂 So yeah... this is basically a shameless request for likes❤️😂

Have you ever wanted to start something but felt too scared? Suddenly, everything seems to get in your way. You start blaming circumstances instead of realizing that fear is holding you back. You don’t have to stop being afraid. Just do it anyway. Because if you never start, nothing will happen

True Healing

This is really interesting. Now I understand why I was advised to do EMDR for cptsd versus CBT or talk therapy. "Sitting with your emotions and feeling them in your body works better than explaining or analyzing them because intellectualizing acts as a defense mechanism that delays true… read more

Is there a real difference between 'that's my personality' and 'that's a pattern I've never had a reason to break'? Who decides which one it is, the person doing it or the person affected by it?

Example: someone repeatedly cancels plans last minute and says "I'm just not a planner, that's who I am."

How do you want to be?

Fake Happy

I may look fine on the outside but on the inside damn I feel so tired of working 🥲

When meticulousness turns into miscalculations 💭

It is not the mistakes of careless people that you need to watch, it is the mistakes of the careful people because it took them so much to make.

Speak less, Listen more...

Psychology says silence is often better than explaining.

Good person

How are you able to tell if someone is a good person without talking to them?🤔

People saying "I don't need a lecture!" ...

... whereas they keep doing the same mistakes again and again. Well ... ... do they really don't need a lecture? 🤔🤭 May be that's exactly when you think you don't need something that you need it the most ? 🙃🫠😶‍🌫️ #humility #psychology #life #ego #friends #love

Anyone facing a no contact from a sibling?

Well she's not having any contact with my family either. It may have been my fault, but then again we all make decisions. Any ways to cope or see how it can work out? I already did what I needed to do. Tried to amend or clear things up, but she's not listening nor talking about why. Just a bit… read more

What's the difference?

New here, I just found out there's an option called short term fun and a category filter for open relationship. How does these category differ? If it still end up with the same result? 🤔

On one of the last days of my therapeutic diet, I watched Chocolate and it reawakened a familiar pleasure. I tried to find it within my dietary limits, but ended up bingeing. Today I finally had this chocolate cake — and realized I never needed anything else, and had denied myself it for no reason. (edited)

Are you the type who would get angry because they lied to you, or would you understand and let it go if they had a genuinely reasonable reason?

If someone lied to you for a reason they genuinely believed was protecting you, would you still be angry or could you understand and forgive them?

Find your peace... Wherever it might be

Is there a way to trick a cis person into working on their impulsive spending

I feel like nobody is going to call them out on it and they won't listen to me because I'm... me

To keep us safe

"Emotions override logic because the brain's emotional center (the limbic system) processes threats and makes snap judgments much faster than the rational thinking center (the neocortex)."

Machiavelli Says

“It is much safer to be feared than loved, if one cannot be both.” — The Prince, Machiavelli

INFJ to INTJ

I retook the personality test because I couldn't really relate to my old type, and turns out I'm actually INTJ. lol

Traits of taking risk

Cognitive Dissonance

=))

We always say that, God remove bad people from our life. But what make we think that we are the good one? Maybe we are the bad one and God remove us from someone's life to protect them =)))

Anger can be a safety mechanism

Found this and I've been arguing with myself since. Can anger actually protect someone? Especially women?

Shhhh!!

And how poison and mental disorders begin

Just need to see this from time to time to remind myself.

I aspire to be like Tom.

Advice...

I can't seem to get an ex partner out of my head... It's been almost a year since we broke up, and I still have this hope and longing that just won't go away. I've started so many new hobbies, traveled alone and with my family, met new people — including people I've formed strong connections with… read more

A question to men

What is that one thing that separates a woman from other women for you? How do you know you have met someone special? What is it that makes you want to be with a woman ?

Mental illness vs immaturity

I don't understand, often I always communicate my feelings or emotions to the people closest to me. But they say I'm immature, when how can I ask why the bad guys always win? Why does the world only side with evil? And other questions. But they called me out because I never accepted destiny from… read more

Limit

How a creature thinks depends on the limitations of its mind and body.

What is your biggest mistake you've ever made?

I gave my heart to someone, who needed a brain. (edited)

Lucky to have egoless men in my family (edited)

It’s interesting how some people claim to be educated, yet the moment they lose an argument, they resort to insults and body shaming. Education should teach you emotional intelligence, self control, and respect not just knowledge.
