What do you tell yourself… 🤔🔮⭐️

#psychology #random #funny

You can go back in time and tell your child-self one sentence, what do you say?

😊

We all feel it

The answer is quite simple - I am deathly afraid of being even more weak than I already am and that's why I cling to life so desperately. People often mistake my depression for it not being depression, but my talking about it makes me more accountable and in the loop. What is your reason to live?

Have you ever had this constant thought of life being pointless and boring? I have had it constantly for many many years and it's still in the back of my mind. Why did I not end it all?

Seems like that

Sometimes

It is what it is

souls on fire, with longing deep,
Searching for a heart, where love can seep.

In a world of illusions, I hope you all find,
A true and gentle soul, that's one of a kind.

I’d like to hear your thoughts about the influence of parents on their children. Do you think that a spoiled child is more likely to suffer from narcissistic tendencies than a child that had no attention at all? Or rather the other way around?

Narcissism

Such people touch my soul❤️‍🩹

This is so rare

Heartbreak

"Ghosting" is extremely disrespectful. If the other person is boring and you don't want to continue talking, just say. Just say. So that person does not have to wait for an answer from you. Being a polite person should not be so difficult.

Solitude

Question, should I go out tonight or nah?

does boo help you cope with feelings of loneliness?

If you die today.
Will u be happy with your life?

Psychology is a captivating field that delves into the intricacies of the human mind, exploring the complex dynamics between cognition, emotion, and behavior. By examining the biological, environmental, and cultural factors that shape our thoughts, feelings, and actions, psychology seeks to understand the underlying mechanisms that govern human experience. From the inner workings of perception and memory to the mysteries of motivation and social interaction, psychology offers a rich and nuanced understanding of what it means to be human, providing valuable insights for improving mental health, enhancing well-being, and fostering positive relationships.

When people walk away, let them. Your future is not about people who walk away. It's about the people who stay in it for the ride.

To staying... 🥂

Food for thought 🧠💭

Christmas is all about giving, so I'm going to give you all my attitude.

Do you have things that help you cope with a bad mood?

I meant this photo. How blind I was. 🤦🏼‍♀️

You know, it's such a strange feeling when you look at your old photos and see how beautiful you were (and are!), but because of your insecurities you didn't realise it. (ʘ ʖ̯ ʘ)

A couple of days ago I found a photo I took 6 months ago, and I was in a pleasant shock at how beautiful I am in the photo... yes, I am beautiful, but did I feel beautiful then - probably not (｡•́︿•̀｡)

I am so happy that since then I have become more confident and happier because I have started to love and appreciate myself more. And now I can see such beautiful things not only in others, but also in myself! ♡︎ (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

Confidence opens our eyes!

When you feel lonely and think you are boring to people. You are not boring. There are no boring people, we are all different, we have different lives, circumstances, experiences...

✨You just don't have the right people around you…

Are you lonely? - maybe.  Are you boring? - NO!

Do you think that modern beauty standards are harmful to the human psyche?

What kind of people attract you, what is the first thing you notice?

cats

Cats may seem aloof, but #bonding with them can be easier than you think. Research from 2020 reveals that you can communicate with cats by mimicking their unique way of #smiling, through slow blinking.

The Cat Smile

Scientists found that narrowing your #eyes and slow blinking encourages cats to approach you. A Professor of Animal Behavior and Cognition at Sussex, noted that this expression is a way for humans and cats to connect.

Experiments

Two experiments showed that cats respond positively to humans who slow-blink. In the first, cat owners blinked at their #pets, resulting in cats blinking back. In the second, researchers found that unfamiliar cats also responded to slow-blinking and approached extended hands afterward.

Building Relationships

This study highlights how slow blinking can strengthen bonds between humans and cats. While #dogs are openly affectionate, cats are more discerning and reflect their owners' personalities. They recognize their names and form strong connections.

Understanding this #communication can enhance cats' emotional well-being, especially in stressful situations like vet visits or shelters.

How to "Slow Blink" at a Cat

To perform a "slow blink" with a #cat, begin by making gentle eye contact. Gradually close your eyes, holding them shut for a moment longer than usual, then slowly reopen them. This gesture is seen as a positive form of communication in the feline world, symbolizing #trust and #affection, and is often called a "kitty kiss."

Next time you are around your cat or encounter a cat, try slow blinking. You might just start a meaningful exchange!

Every so often, I enjoy creating a post for all my cat-loving boofriends. This post is dedicated to cat enthusiasts and owners who might not yet be familiar with the "slow blink." By mastering this charming gesture, you can enhance your communication with cats and deepen the bond you share with your feline companions.

There's something undeniably special about individuals who leave a warm and #positive impression on us. Often, this is due to specific behavior patterns that make them genuinely delightful companions. These are the #people who brighten a room simply by walking in, leaving us feeling uplifted after each interaction. The great news is that these behaviors can be observed and emulated. Let's delve into the top 10 patterns that make someone a joy to be around.

1) Active Listening:
The distinction between merely hearing and active #listening is significant. Those who are truly delightful don't just hear you; they listen attentively. They focus on your words, respond thoughtfully, and never give the impression they're just waiting for their turn to speak. Experiencing someone who genuinely listens can be powerful, making us feel heard, understood, and valued. Active listening is more than a conversational strategy; it's a demonstration of #respect and #empathy. It's a skill that can be learned and refined.

2) Spreading Positivity:
A positive attitude can have a profound impact. Take, for example, a friend named Emily, whose infectious #energy is always uplifting. She's consistently smiling, finding silver linings in every situation. Her perspective doesn't ignore problems; it reframes them positively. Being around Emily is like entering a bubble of positivity, making any gathering more enjoyable. People who spread #positivity uplift those around them, turning even ordinary moments into memorable experiences.

3) Genuine Interest in Others:
Did you know engaging in conversations about ourselves activates the same brain areas as enjoying food or receiving money? Delightful individuals tap into this by showing genuine interest in others. They ask meaningful questions and engage in conversations that allow others to open up. This makes people feel valued and appreciated, leaving a positive impression. It's a simple yet powerful way to connect and make others enjoy your company.

4) Authenticity:
There's something incredibly appealing about someone who is unapologetically themselves. Those who are genuinely lovely don't pretend to be someone they're not. They're comfortable in their own skin and let their true selves shine. Their #authenticity fosters a connection based on #truth and #trust, encouraging others to be true to themselves. This authenticity makes interactions with them a truly delightful experience.

5) Expressing Gratitude:
Have you noticed how good it feels when someone sincerely thanks you? Individuals who are a pleasure to be around often have an attitude of #gratitude. They acknowledge the kind gestures of others and express #appreciation. This simple act of recognizing others' contributions fosters a positive environment, making those around them feel respected and valued.

6) Empathy:
Empathy, the ability to understand and share others' feelings, distinguishes those who are genuinely lovely to be around. It involves stepping into someone's shoes and feeling their #emotions. Empathetic people create bonds of trust and understanding, reminding us of our shared #humanity. Having someone empathetic to support us in joy and sorrow is a blessing.

7) Respect for Boundaries:
Respecting personal boundaries is a trait to be admired, someone who always asks before borrowing things or entering your space. People who are genuinely lovely understand the importance of personal boundaries, respecting your space, time, and choices. This respect fosters a safe and comfortable environment, allowing healthy #relationships to flourish.

8) Comfort with Silence:
While being a great conversationalist is valuable, appreciating silence is often what makes someone truly delightful. These individuals understand that not every moment needs words. They're comfortable with silence and recognize its power, respecting the natural rhythm of #conversation and showing #comfort in your company.

9) Consistent Kindness:
Kindness is a universal language everyone appreciates. People who are a joy to be around consistently exhibit #kindness. Their kindness is not dependent on convenience or personal gain; it is integral to who they are. Consistent kindness leaves a positive impact and attracts admiration. Even small acts of kindness can significantly influence how others perceive you.

10) Self-Awareness:
At the core of all these behaviors is self-awareness. Truly delightful individuals have a keen understanding of themselves, recognizing strengths and acknowledging weaknesses. This self-awareness guides their interactions, enabling them to navigate social situations with grace and #integrity. It is the foundation upon which all likable behaviors are built, key to becoming someone genuinely delightful to be around.

The 10 Behavioral Patterns of Truly Delightful People

A "Gloomtroller" is a person who habitually finds the negative in any situation and feels compelled to express their dissatisfaction through negative or controversial remarks. They thrive on creating a sense of unease or conflict, often projecting their own unhappiness onto others.

Characteristics of a Gloomtroller

Negative Outlook: They have a tendency to focus on the downsides, often ignoring positive aspects.

Controversial Comments: Frequently express opinions that are contrary or disruptive, aiming to provoke reactions.

Projection of Unhappiness: Often, their behavior stems from dissatisfaction with their own life circumstances.

Persistent Involvement: They feel a need to insert themselves into discussions, regardless of their relevance or necessity.

Desire for Attention: Their remarks often seek to draw attention to themselves, even if it is negative.

Dealing with a Gloomtroller

When you encounter a Gloomtroller, it's advisable to prioritize your own well-being by not engaging with them. These individuals often thrive on negativity and can cause unnecessary emotional distress. Since Gloomtrollers rarely offer uplifting or empathetic interactions, it is entirely reasonable to block them immediately to protect your peace of mind.

Gloomtrollers

Yesterday's Question of the Day (QoTD) was: "Do you think that children born today will have better or worse lives than their parents?" In the image below, you will find an example of a "Gloomtroller." I discussed Gloomtrollers in a post two days ago, and this image perfectly illustrates the kind of behavior that is not welcome on B00.

Anyone who engages in such negative behavior and attacks others does not belong on this platform. If you wish to behave in this manner, I suggest you look elsewhere. I would like to commend the woman who was targeted by this individual; she handled herself with grace, and kudos to her for her poise.

To the Gloomtroller, I encourage you to find a sense of humor. Negative behavior and personal attacks are not acceptable here. I have noticed this same individual targeting others in a similar manner, and I want to reiterate that these attitudes are not welcome on B00. Let's strive to create a positive and respectful community for all. Be good people!
