🧠 Emotional Invalidation 🫀
Invalidation of emotions may be conveyed through statements such as: ● "Just move on and forget about it" ● "You're making a big deal out of nothing" ● "Stop being so dramatic" ● "I didn't realize you would be so easily offended" Individuals who lack emotional awareness and find it challenging to manage their own emotional discomfort may struggle to sit with someone's pain without attempting to offer unsolicited advice or immediately fix or alter the situation. It requires maturity to simply be present with someone in their moment of distress (edited)

Complete invalidation was pretty much the cause of my unhappiness in a relationship that ended in 2021. One might think it's a small gesture of respect to at least try and understand the other person's feelings and emotions, whether or not they agree with them or not, but I guess it's difficult for some people. It's a tremendously powerful tool to be able to empathize with people, and make them feel respected and understood. Which sometimes is all that is needed to save a relationship.

I would say the move on and forget about it can be a useful tool to preserve your own sanity though. While if it's used to dismiss an emotional response it can be damaging, but if used properly it can serve as a growing point for those individuals that put too much stake in another person's feelings or opinions towards you when it doesn't ultimately matter.

Managing Negative Interactions on B00
Recently, I've noticed some posts from users expressing concerns about encountering rude and mean-spirited individuals on this platform. I want to remind everyone that B00 empowers you to shape your own experience here. A straightforward approach is to refrain from engaging with anyone who exhibits... read more

Humanity is at a crossroads. The world is shifting, and so many are caught in fear, division, and distraction. But remember this: you are not powerless. You are here to rise, to create, to heal, and to elevate.The greatest illusion is that you are small. The greatest truth is that you are limitless

I don't know why...
But every time I make a new friend, I can't help but think... "You got this, don't mess this up!! Don't say weird things, don't info dump, and most importantly... Don't be too overly affectionate!" Does anyone else do this💀👍?

I have a question, are we supposed to feel curiosity or excitement from stranger's or online mutual's news? Like how are you supposed to make friends? I absolutely don't care about what person is up to unless it's some specific thing out of my zone of interests
and even then a simple short answer is enough for me. Are we supposed to have a whole conversation out of that? Once I faked excitement for a person having a vacation bc I thought everyone is doing it and call it "socialisation" and got a best friend. But now I think what are actual ways of making... read more

Words trapped inside, a silent scream Unspoken emotions, a heart's extreme A forced smile hides, the turmoil and strife A concealed agony, that cuts like a knife.

If I have to I will give context. I'm someone that studies psychology and I still get baffled by how people can misinterpret things. Have you ever asked a question and people just go off on tangents that do not directly answer the question that's been asked? I feel like a boomer stating this... read more

Two stages of depression
1) Just a bad mood. Uncertainty about the future. Fear of death. The constantly, everyday appearing memories that make me sad. - How long it can be: Decades. - How to fight it: no any chance to fight it, just get used to it. 🤪 - The main use of the power of will is to prevent to say rude things... read more

Sorry, i'm pissy today

Why not post this in lifestyle or somewhere not #psychology. Maybe post something more directly relevant to the field instead,... read more

New philosophical view
I'm writing an entirely new philosophical view.. in the sense of say nihilism or the stoics etc. Coining one from scratch! What are some things that should be factored in when doing so?

A storm rages within, fury untamed Anger boils, yet a smile's forced frame Am i captive of calm, or a coward's guise? A masked emotion, that hides the inner cries.

A few days ago I was asked if compassion was important.
The whole question was "is the compassion important if you're leaving?" Compassion is always important.
