Relationships: Why Do Some People End Up Feeling Needy When They Get In Touch With Their Needs?

Although having needs is part of being human, it doesn’t mean that everyone is in touch with them. There will be some people who are in touch with their needs, and there will be others who are not. Another Experience However, even if one is in touch with their needs, it doesn’t mean that they will always know what they need. There could be moments where they feel disconnected, and during these moments, their needs could be a mystery.

I Hated Women!

In today’s world, it is not uncommon for the media to blame all men for everything and for all women to be portrayed as innocent victims. This is all part of what is known as ‘identity politics’, where everyone is put into a group and no one is seen as an individual.

Anger: Do You Feel Uncomfortable When Other People Get Angry?

If one felt unhappy and they were to meet a friend who was happy, they could soon start to feel different. Their emotional state has then been transformed through being in the other person's presence. This can happen without one having to really do anything, and their life doesn't have to change either. During their time with the other, it has been possible for them to experience life differently.

Relationships: Can Someone's Need To Save Others Have A Negative Effect On Their Relationships?

If someone was to hear that their friend is going through a tough time, they could give them a call or go to see them. No matter what they do, this could still be a time when they will listen to what they have to say and offer their support. Conversely, if they are in a relationship and their partner is going through a challenging time, they could also respond in a similar manner. In both cases, one is not going to try to take charge or to take responsibility for what another person is going through. Boundaries

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.

Early Deprivation: Can Early Deprivation Cause Someone To Feel Suicidal As An Adult?

In general, someone could spend a lot of time in doing mode, meaning that they will rarely if ever just be. And, if they were to take a step back and relax, they could soon end up feeling tense and agitated. Thus, even if they were told that they need to slow down by a friend or a family member, for instance, this is not going to have much of an impact on them. Being on the go and doing things will be far less stressful than it will be for them to relax. Taken out

Self-Hate: Can Someone Hate Themselves If They Experienced Childhood Trauma?

In order for someone to feel good about themselves and to live a life that is worth living, it will be necessary for them to be in touch with their inherent worth. When this connection is in place, they will be able to feel good about themselves without needing a reason. Therefore, they won’t need to achieve anything or to please anyone; they will just feel good. Another way of looking at this would be to say that their worth will be internalised as opposed to existing ‘out there’. Firm Foundations

Relationships: What Is The Purpose Of A Relationship?

I believe that one of the purposes of a relationship is to lead one back into wholeness. This includes the relationships we have had, the relationships we have and the relationships we will have in the future. They each contain the experiences and situations that are perfect for one to regain their inherent wholeness. Wholeness To use the world wholeness implies that we are not already whole and that we need others to make us whole again. This is not the complete truth, but it is true at a certain level of awareness.

Self-Knowledge: Does The Past Only Exist In Someone’s Mind?

In the self-development world, it is often said that the past only exists in someone’s mind. Therefore, if they often think about what they have been through and this is causing them to suffer, they just need to change what is taking place in this part of them. Now, what can’t be denied is that what they went through is over, it is not possible for them to go back in time and change what happened. The only moment that they have is now and soon, what they are experiencing will be another memory. It’s Clear

Relationships: Why Do Some People Cheat?

When it comes to describing why some people cheat, it is certainly not a black and white answer. So based on my current level of awareness and intelligence; I will do my best to give some answers to this question. Three Experiences I believe that in order to understand or at least try to understand why some people cheat; we need to look at three experiences. What I mean here is that there is the experience of the person who cheats, there is the experience of the person who has been cheated on and there is also the literal experience that is seen by others. The literal experience

The Heart: Is It More Than A Muscle?

This article will look at the different aspects of the heart; this will include empathy, emotions and feelings. I will also explain my current understanding of what leads to an absence of empathy and an ability to feel. Inspiration I was also inspired to write this after seeing the Alfa Romeo advert. In the advert the actress Uma Thurman says the following line ‘without heart we would be mere machines’. So let’s start this with an explanation of what empathy is.

Mother Wounds: Can A Man Experience Conflict With Women If He Had An Abusive Mother?

What a man may find, if he was to step back and reflect on his life, is that, in general, his relationships with women have been anything but harmonious. Therefore, when the ‘battle of the sexes’ is mentioned, he probably won’t find it hard to relate to what is being spoken about. When it comes to his relationships, then, this area of his life will have often been filled with drama and highs and lows. So, as opposed to a woman complementing him, she will have rubbed him up the wrong way, so to speak. In The Same Boat

Terror: Can Childhood Trauma Cause Someone To Carry A Lot Of Terror?

Although someone’s early years will have left a big impact on their whole being, it doesn’t mean that they will realise this. In fact, they might not even think about what took place at this stage of their life. Still, their body, their inner world and their view of the world could all indicate that this time of their life had a big effect on them. As they are unable to remember what took place, they will be aware of the effects of what took place but they won’t be aware of the cause. One Part

Is Our Life Defined By Ancestral Trauma?

A number of years ago, a few articles were written about how trauma from slavery and the holocaust can be passed down. What this means, then, is that it doesn’t matter how many years have passed since these things took place, as what happened can have an effect on their descendents. Hard to Believe For some people, this would have been hard to believe, and they may have wondered how what took place many, many years ago can still have an impact. This can be seen as someone that a rational human being would completely disregard.

False Self: Is The Need To Rescue Others Part Of The False-Self?

For as far back as one can remember, they may see that they have had the inclination to save or rescue others. As a result of this, they will be used to being there for others and doing what they can to ‘help’ them. For so long, it would have seemed as though they were doing the right thing, but there would have come a point when they came to see that living in this way wasn’t truly serving them, or others. This could even be something that they were forced to accept, after getting to the point where it was no longer possible for them to behave in this way. Waking Up

True Self: Why Is It Hard To Reveal Our True Self?

Revealing who one is to others is not always easy and I believe that this can be due to two reasons. Firstly this can come about through not knowing who one is and secondly through the feeling that it is not safe for one to reveal who one is. Both of these reasons can be the result of ones upbringing. This is because it is during this time that we come to learn what is safe and what is not. What we can do and what we cannot do around other people. Early Years

Mother Wounds: Can A Man Find It Hard To Trust Women If He Had An Abusive Mother?

Over the years, a man may have been with a number of women who have let him down and even betrayed him. Thanks to this, he might be very cautious when it comes to women. So, he might keep them at a distance both emotionally and physically or just emotionally. When it comes to the former, he won’t date or share his body with a woman and, when it comes to the latter, he might date but he won’t allow himself to get emotionally close to a woman.

Emotionally Disconnected: Why Do Some People Disconnect From Their Emotions When They Are Around Others?

Ideally, someone will be in tune with how they feel when they are around others; the reason being that it will allow them to function as a whole human being. Through being aware of how they feel, they will be able to connect to how other people feel and to connect to their own emotional needs. Naturally, other people are going to appreciate their ability to connect to how they feel and to empathise with them. And, being in tune with their own needs will allow them to express what is taking place for them and to assert themselves. Fully Showing Up

Father Wounds: Can A Man Put Other Men On A Pedestal If He Had An Emotionally Unavailable Father?

When it comes to the men in a man’s life, some of these could just be seen as other human beings, whilst others could be seen as being far more. As a result of this, he is not going to view all of the men in his life in the same way. However, this is not to say that this is something that he has consciously thought about or that he has looked into why this is the case. If he has gone deeper into this, he might have just thought about what he likes about the men who he sees as being different. A Closer Look

Intimacy: Can Childhood Trauma Set Someone Up To Have A Fear Of Intimacy?

Nowadays, it is not uncommon for the term ‘fear of intimacy’ to be thrown around. In general, it is more likely that someone will use this term to describe another person than to describe themselves. One reason for this is that it is usually easier for someone to spot this in other than it is for them to spot it in themselves. This comes down to the fact that they will have a mind that causes them to see themselves as merely an observer of their life, as opposed to a co-creator of it. A Hurdle

Loss: Why Can Loss Hurt So Much?

This is something that can affect someone in many ways and as a result of many things. Some losses can simply be ignored and forgotten about and then there are others can are harder to forget. One can also lose something and never forget the loss; regardless of how much times goes by or what else happens in their life. What will often define the impact that a loss has is how emotionally attached one was.

Clothes: Does Someone Need To Wear The Right Colours If They Are Sensitive?

In today’s world, one no longer needs to look the same as other people, and this is partly because there is so much choice when it comes to what they can wear. And, when they want to buy something, they won’t need to go out either. Online Shopping The only thing that one will need to do is to have a device and an internet connection. From here, one can look at clothes that are sold in their country, and they can look at clothes that are sold in other countries.

Repression: Can Repression Cause Someone To Be Aware But Unconscious?

If someone has an area of their life that is not very fulfilling, they can look into what they can do to change it. During this time, they can learn about how, once they become aware of how they are behaving, they will be able to change the behaviours that are not serving them and thus, change this area of their life. For example, they might see that they continually end up with people who are emotionally unavailable and out of reach. So, they can look into what signs they need to become aware of that show that another person is not ready to have a real relationship. Clarity

Human Doing: Can Childhood Trauma Stop Someone From Being Able To Just Be?

Many societies around the world are full of people who are more or less always on the go. This is how it has been for many, many decades and it is unlikely to change any time soon. When someone lives in this way, they are unlikely to believe that they are living in a way that is not sustainable and need to slow down from time to time. The reason for this is that they will probably be surrounded by people who also behave in the same way. The Norm

Relationships: Why Do Some People Believe That They Deserve To Be Treated Badly?

Just because someone is being treated badly, it doesn’t mean they will realise what it taking place. This might be hard for some people to believe though, and this is because of how they experience life. For example, if one is in a position where they have been treated badly for a certain period of time, it can end up being what is normal. This doesn’t mean they enjoy being treated in this way, but it can be what they have become accustomed to.

Emotionally Shut Down: Can Child Abuse Cause Someone To Be An Unfeeling Human Being?

Throughout someone’s early years, they may have been hurt by one or both of their parents. This may have meant that they were abused in a variety of different ways and were neglected, which would have deprived them of the love that they needed. But, as they were powerless and totally dependent, there was very little that they would have been able to do about what was going on. What they couldn’t do was change their parent or parent’s behaviour or find somewhere else to live. Closing Up

Although pain is part is life and can’t be avoided, the western world and the countries influenced by it, are largely focused on eradicating pain. Pain is then something that has no purpose or reason for existing and therefore has to be removed. There are all types of pain that one can experience, from physical, mental and emotional. The type of pain that is often avoided the most is emotional and emotions are rarely embraced in today’s world.
