True-Self: Can Being Agreeable Cause Someone To Lose Touch With Their True-Self?

When someone has the ability to go along to get along, it can be a lot easier for them to get on with others. By not having the desire to rock the boat, so to speak, they are unlikely to rub other people up the wrong way. This is likely to mean that they will have a number of friends, and that it won’t be difficult for them to make even more as time goes by. If another person was asked what they like about them, they could point to the fact that one is easy to be around. Zero Conflict

“You Only Like Me Because I’m Famous!”

A number of years ago I had the chance to meet a DJ and producer, and I ended up seeing them perform afterwards. This was an incredible night and a time in my life that I will never forget. At the time it was surreal, I couldn’t quite get my head around how this was taking place; I didn’t think that something like this would ever happen to me. If someone had told me this would happen, I would have found it very hard to believe. Full of Energy

True-Self: Is It A Surprise For Someone Who Acts Strong To Feel Weak On The Inside?

On the one hand, there is going to be how someone behaves and, on the other; there is going to be how someone feels on the inside. At times, what is taking place within them will be expressed through how they behave. An Authentic Human Being In this case, one is generally not going to put on an act around others. Ultimately, one is going to be in touch with their true-self, with this being made up by their needs, feelings and preferences.

Critical Thinking: Do Some Celebrities Have To Go Along With The Agenda To Stay Relevant?

From the outside, it can seem as though certain celebrities have it all. This is because the average celebrity can be talented, good looking, have plenty of money and millions of people all over the world can admire them. And when it comes to a celebrity like this, one can believe that they just happened to get lucky and to hit the big time. That is, of course, unless one believes that someone like this is ‘special’.

Critical Thinking: Is Ancestral Trauma Dividing Men And Women?

One of the things that the mainstream likes to is to do portray all women as victims and all men as perpetrators. There are men and women who are happy to go along with this and there are men and women who are not. And regardless of whether someone is happy to go along with how the mainstream media often portrays each gender, their own experiences are likely to play a part. Said another way, this source of information will either validate or invalidate what they go through in their day-to-day life. Another Element

Critical Thinking: Why Is Russia And ‘Fake News’ Blamed For Everything?

If someone keeps up to date with what is taking place in their own country and around the world, they are likely to have heard a lot about Trump and Brexit. But instead of the mainstream media being able to accept the fact that Trump won and Brexit took place and moving on, they have continued to focus on why it happened. Point of Focus Now, this is not to say that they have spent a lot of time looking into why people voted for Trump or wanted to leave the European Union. No, what they have generally done is placed their attention on others things.

Does The Film ‘Night School’ Show How Destructive Shame Can Be?

The other night, whilst I was at a friend’s, I ended up watching a film called ‘Night School’. This is a film with Kevin Hart in and, like most, if not all, of his films, it is a comedy. At the beginning I thought that the film was a bit stupid, but as time went by, I gradually got into it. A number of the actors put in good performances, with the guy who plays Jaylen being one of them. From The Start

Neglect: Can Childhood Neglect Cause Someone To Feel Worthless?

There are people on this planet that have a sense of their own value and then there are those that don’t. It can be as though some people were born with this in place, while others weren’t. Still, even though it might seem as though this is something that someone is born with, there is far more to it. In general, it is someone’s early years that define whether or not they will have a sense of their own value as an adult. An Incredibly Important Time

Are You Wasting Your Life On Social Media?

When I was walking past a few shops a number of weeks ago, I saw that there were plenty of people on their Smartphone’s. As it wasn’t busy, these people were busy using their Smartphone’s. I ended up wondering how many books people like this could read if they didn’t use their phones as much. This didn’t come to mind because I thought that these people should be reading books, though.

Being Present: Can The Fear Of Being Seen Stop Someone From Being Able To Be Present?

Numerous books have been written about the importance of being present and how to be present. These kinds of books can go into how the body is always in the moment but the mind, on the other hand, is always trying to be somewhere else. When someone is in the present moment, there is nothing for their mind to do, and this is why it will try to bring their attention to the past or to focus on the future. What took place in their past will have been and gone and the future is yet to be decided. Point of Power

If You Have Fallen, You Will Rise Again

The other day, I was thinking about the moments in my life when I have had setbacks and what has often gone through my head when this has taken place. When I think about what happens, it’s a bit like I’m in one season. During this time, and irrespective of what season it is, part of me usually believes that this is how it will always be. It can’t accept that the current season will soon pass, only to be replaced by another season. The Similarity

Self-Worth: Can Childhood Trauma Stop Someone From Developing Self-Worth?

If someone was to take a step back and to reflect on when they feel good about themselves and when they don’t, they may notice a pattern. What they may start to see is that when they receive positive feedback from others, and shortly after this has taken place, they feel good. Yet, if they haven’t received any positive feedback from others, they may see that they feel bad. If this is the case, it will be clear that how they feel about themselves is totally dependent on how other people treat them. An Unstable Existence

How To Stay Humble

Earlier on, whilst I was out shopping, I saw an image of a famous athlete with the words “stay humble” written on it. This is someone who is at the top of their game and is known all over the world. It is clear that this person realises how important it is for them to keep their feet on the ground and not to let their current level of success go to their head. They are likely to know that even though they are the top right now, they could fall right to the bottom in a matter of seconds. A Number of Ways

Father Wounds: Will A Man Come Into Contact With Men That Remind Him Of His Father?

If a man was asked what his father was like when he was growing up, he could end up coming out with a number of different things. One thing that he could say is that he was a solid guy; another thing that he could say was that he was a waste of space. Then again, he could say that he didn’t do a bad job and that could be about as far as it will go. His reaction won’t be filled with emotion either way; it could be described as a muted response.

Femininity: What Can Happen When A Man Rejects His Feminine Nature?

A lot has been said recently about the attack on masculinity and even about how men in general are being undermined. When it comes to masculinity, it is often made out that men are the only ones who have this element, which is then why men end up being seen as bad. This is, of course, not the case, as both men and women have this element within them. To demonise the masculine aspect, then, doesn’t just have a negative impact on men; it also has a negative impact on women. Resistance

Self-Love: Can Someone’s Inner Critic Make It Hard For Them To Feel Good About Themselves?

When someone is able to talk to themselves in a positive manner, it is going to be a lot easier for them to feel good. This is similar to how one is likely to feel better if they are in the company of someone who treats them well. Through being around this person, they can feel good in their company and, once their time together has come to an end, they can continue to feel good. In the same way, one can feel good when they talk to themselves in a positive manner and they can feel good even after this has stopped, thanks to the positive feelings that will have been triggered.

Social Media: Has Social Media Made It Harder For People To Deal With Conflict?

There are a number of things that have changed since the advent of social media, and one of the things that it has done is changed how people communicate with each other. Instead of having to be around others, one can now ‘socialise’ online. One can then message someone who lives just down the road, or they can message someone who lives on the other side of the planet. This has meant that one can now connect to the people they know no matter where they are. A Different Form of Communication

What Is Inner Baby Work?

For a number of years now, I have been doing inner child work, and the term ‘inner child’ may have been something I first heard when I read one of John Bradshaw’s books. I think that his books are terrific. Anyway, when I first started doing this work I would get in touch with the parts of myself that related to when I was a small boy and, as time has passed, I have got in touch with even younger parts of myself. During these times I have felt like a baby. More tha One

Relationships: Can A Man’s Unmet Childhood Needs Make Him Want To Sleep With A Lot Of Women?

There are some men who generally have relationships, while there are others who have absolutely no interest in having one. But even if a man doesn’t want to have a relationship, it doesn’t mean that he has always been this way. No Longer the Same If there was a point in their life when they did have relationships, or were in a relationship, they may have had a different outlook. Perhaps this was a time in their life when this was just something that took place, as opposed to something they consciously decided to do.

What Can Someone Do To Be Highly Stressed?

It might seem as strange as to why I used the title above as it is not as though anyone would consciously look for a way to become highly stressed. Even so, this doesn’t mean this won’t take place unconsciously. Without realising it, someone can do just about everything that they can to experience a lot of stress. Consciously, they can make out that they want to experience too much stress but, unconsciously, they will have another need. Let’s Start Off

There are a number of reasons as to why someone would reach out for the support of a therapist or a counsellor. Still, if someone was to take this step, it could show that they are going through tough a time and can no longer handle what is going on. Perhaps they are experiencing a fair amount of fear and anxiety, making it difficult for them to relax and to embrace life. For most of their life, they may have been fine, but now life will be a challenge. Nothing New

Dating: Should Someone Be Suspicious If Another Person Acts Extremely Interested In The Beginning?

If someone was to come across a dog, and this dog was to jump up and down, making it clear that he/she was pleased to see them, there would be no reason for them to wonder what was going on. This is due to the fact that this just what dogs are like; they don’t need a reason to be warm and responsive. However, if they were to come across another human being who behaved in this way, there would probably be a reason for it. Now, there is always the chance that this person is a close friend.

Relationships: Why Do Some People Try To Take Other People's Pain Away?

Pain is something that everyone on the planet experiences and, therefore, it is one of the things that connect human beings. However, although pain is something that can’t be avoided, it doesn’t mean that everyone is willing to accept this. When someone is not willing to accept that this is the case, they can end up trying to take other peoples pain away. It will be as though it is their responsibility to make sure that other people feel good. A Big Difference

Child Abuse: What Can Happen If Someone Was Abused As A Child?

In order for a problem to be solved, two things need to take place. Firstly, it needs to be clear that there is a problem, and secondly, it needs to be clear what the problem actually is. For example, ones car might not be running properly but, until they become aware of this absolutely nothing will happen. Once they have come to see that it is not running properly, they will be able to take it to a garage and it is here that they will find out what the problem is and fix it. A Very Different Story

Critical Thinking: Should Everyone Be Able To Vote?

Ever since it became clear that the United Kingdom would withdraw from the European Union, a lot of people have said that not everyone should be able to vote. Unsurprisingly, this is a viewpoint that appears to be primarily held by the people who wanted the United Kingdom to stay in the European Union. In their eyes, this was the wrong outcome, and, if the people who voted Leave were as informed as them, they would have made a different decision. So, unlike the people who voted Leave, they were the ones who actually knew what was best. A Superior Position

If a man is currently in a relationship, he could be with a woman who is often cold, distant and dismissive of his feelings.

Child Abuse: Can Child Abuse Cause Someone To Feel Worthless?

What can make it more or less impossible for someone to feel comfortable in their own skin and to be grateful for the life that they have been given is if they feel worthless. Through feeling this way, their life can be unbearable and being alive can feel like a curse, not a blessing. To say that one will just feel worthless, however, might not be completely accurate. The reason for this is that along with feeling worthless, it could be as if this is something that has permeated their whole being. Trapped

Relationships: Why Do Some Women Always Attract Men Who Are Aloof?

When a woman has the tendency to end up with men who are unavailable, it is naturally going to have a negative effect on her wellbeing. Her desire to be with a man who is available is not going to be met, so it is to be expected that this won’t be something that she can simply overlook. If this was something that had only happened once, there would be no reason for her to get too caught up in what has taken peace. For one thing, not every man she is drawn to is going to be available. A One-Off

It didn’t even have to get to this point for him to harm someone though, as he would end up doing this even if he thought that they were going to harm him.

When someone is in touch with their body, they will be aware of how they feel and what their needs are. Through having this connection, they will be able to make use of the information that is inside them. So, if they feel tired or as though they are not at their best, they will be able to take a step back and to take it easy.

Therefore, they won’t be completely dependent on this attention, meaning it won’t be the end of the world if they don’t always get it or if they don’t receive a certain amount.

“Shame Is A Soul Eating Emotion”

In at least two articles, I said that in the same way that acid destroys things, toxic shame will destroy someone’s sense of self.
