Self-Worth: Can Someone Be Made To Feel Worthless?

If one is in a relationship that is abusive, they can find that it is hard for them to feel good about themselves. So, through spending so much time around someone who undermines them, the good feelings that they had will have just about disappeared. Before this took place, they may have often experienced positive feelings and believed that they deserved to be treated well. Ergo, instead of being in a relationship that allows them to grow and develop; it will be a relationship that is destroying them. Another Example

Boundaries: Why Do Some People See Others As Extensions Of Themselves?

If one was to take a look at their fellow human beings, it would be clear that they are all separate. They each have their own body and this then goes onto to cover their individual preferences, wants and needs. And as well as this, each person has their own personal reality and an experience that no one else is having. Of course, each one of us lives on the same planet and therefore there will be similarities as a result, but each person is still having a unique experience. A Metaphor

Mother-Enmeshed Men: Does A Mother-Enmeshed Man's Mother Not Realise Her Son Has A Self/Soul?

If a man, who is caught up in his mother’s world, were to reflect on how he lives his life, he could see that it’s as though he is nothing more than an extension of his mother. He could see that he spends a lot of time doing things for her and very little time, in comparison, doing things for himself. Therefore, if he is not at work, he can often be doing things for her or listening to her talk about her problems, for instance. Naturally, this is going to cause him to neglect himself. The next stage

You Can’t Save Your Parents!

When I first got into self-development, I shared a lot of what I had learnt with my parents. This was partly because I wanted to share what I had learnt and partly because I thought it could help them. I soon came to see that I was wasting my time, and that it was far better for me to keep most of what I had learnt to myself. I didn’t think it was worth the hassle of being put down and treated as though I was trying to sell them a virus. One Direction

“This Guy Knew How To Listen!”

In November 2017, I had the opportunity to meet someone called, Geoff Hudson-Searle, who was an author and the managing director of a company that helps businesses to succeed. Our paths crossed after I sent him a message on a social media site and he suggested that we meet for a coffee. I thought that it would be great to meet Geoff, which meant that I was only too happy to do this. Before I messaged him, I had read an article that he wrote called - ‘Why is customer service constantly so bad in the UK?’ A Solid Write Up

The Media: Does The Mainstream Media Create Their Own News?

When someone wants to find out about what is taking place around them, there is the chance that they will look towards the mainstream media. This is because this source will be seen as being trustworthy and reliable. And when one wants to find out about what is going on, they could end up turning their TV on. This can then mean that they will sit back and believe everything that this source tells them about what is going on in the world. A Number of Ways

Sense Of Safety: Can Childhood Trauma Stop Someone From Being Able To Feel Safe?

For some people, feeling safe is a normal part of life and something that they take for granted. This doesn’t mean that there won’t have been moments in their life when they have felt unsafe. Throughout their life, there may have been numerous moments when this was the case, yet a moment like this may have soon passed. Thankfully, they will have soon been able to return to how they were before. The Ideal

Relationships: Who Do Some People Always Look For Someone Else Before They Leave A Relationship?

If someone is in a relationship that they no longer want to be in, they could decide to talk to their partner about what is taking place for them. This will stop them from having to cover up how they feel, and it will give them the chance to bring the relationship to an end. A Cover Up On the other hand, if one no longer wanted to be with them but they kept this to themselves, they would be leading the other person on. The other person might believe that they are with someone who wants to be with them.

Relationships: Can Someone Put Up With Controlling Behaviour When They Are Emotionally Dependent

When two people are in a relationship, they can continue to express who they are and to fulfil their own needs. As a result of this, their time together will have a positive effect on both of them. There will be the effect that this has on their relationship, and there will be the effect that this has on other areas of their life. There will then be no need for them to feel trapped and as though they are being held back. Two Parts

Mother-Enmeshed Men: Why Can It Be Hard For A Mother-Enmeshed Man To Separate From His Mother?

If a man is in a position where his life revolves around his mother, he is not going to have much of a life. Ultimately, a lot of his time and energy will be directed towards meeting her needs, leaving him with very little time and energy to meet his own needs. He is then going to be her son but he will be more like her parent. To make matters worse, his mother might not be aware of the fact that her son is neglecting himself and is out of balance.

Victim Mentality: Does Someone Lack Self-Awareness If They Have A Victim Mentality?

In today’s world, it is not uncommon to come across someone who has a victim mentality. And while it would be easy to believe that this is kind of mentality that someone has if they are not doing well in life, this is not always the case. For example, plenty of people who go to university - somewhere where not everyone has the chance to go - have this outlook. The opportunity that they have been given to learn and to develop themselves is then not going to be recognised, as they will be too caught up in how ‘oppressed’ they are. Indoctrinated

Child Abuse: Can Child Abuse Cause Someone To Disconnect From Their Need For Human Contact?

If someone was to step back and reflect on their life, what might soon stand out is that they generally don’t feel the need to be around another or others. They could find that they have been this way for as long as they can remember. Therefore, they are likely to spend a lot of time by themselves and if they do end up spending time with another or others, it could be because someone reached out to them. What could enter their mind is that they enjoy their own company and don’t need others. Exte al Feedback

Critical Thinking: Has Focusing On Misogyny Caused People To Overlook Misandry?

It has been said that in order to define what someone believes about the world, the only thing that the mainstream media needs to do is gain their attention. And once they have their attention, they can define what they focus on. Someone can then see something once and it can end up going straight into their mind, thereby having an effect on what they believe. When this takes place they won’t have spent much time thinking about what they saw, but it will still have an impact on their life. Less Effort

Critical Thinking: Does The ‘Chemical Imbalance’ Theory Show How Disconnected We Have Become?

Nowadays, it is not uncommon for someone to suffer from mental and emotional problems. This is then not going to be something that they struggle with from time to time and can, therefore, put to one side; it will be something that makes it hard for them to handle their day-to-day life. If someone was to find themselves in this position, they could end up coming to the conclusion they have a ‘chemical imbalance’. Ergo, the reason why they are experiencing life in this way is due what is taking place in their head. An Analogy

Emotionally Shut Down: Can Child Abuse Cause Someone To Be Emotionally Shut Down?

In general, someone could find that it is a challenge for them to connect to their needs and feelings. Along with this, they could find that they often feel numb and don’t have a great deal of energy. By being this way, it is going to be a challenge for them to live a life that is deeply enriching. Instead, what can be normal is for them to simply go through the motions, with life being seen as something that they have to endure, not enjoy. It’s Clear

Relationships: Can Someone Try To Change Others When They Feel Worthless?

If one was to think about the people who they spend time with, they may find that they feel comfortable in their presence. What this could show is that these people accept them as they are. Acceptance There is then going to be no reason for one to feel as though they need to put on an act. As a result of this, one is going to feel good when they are around them, and they will feel good when their time together comes to an end.

"I Was Full Of Self-Doubt"

Before I started writing articles, I had been on the path for around seven years. During this time, I had put a lot of effort into trying to understand myself and why my life was the way it was. So, when I started writing, it wasn’t as though I just woke up one day and thought that I would write about psychology. Ultimately, it was the result of the conclusions that I had come to over the years. Inner Conflict

Unsafe: Do Some People's Childhoods Cause Them Up Believe That The World Is Unsafe?

While some areas of the planet are far from safe, there are other areas on the planet that are the complete opposite. And due to what the media covers, one can end up coming to the conclusion that the whole world is unsafe. Now, this doesn’t mean that one’s safety will be guaranteed if they were to live in a certain area; as this is not something that can be guaranteed. It won’t matter where one lives and this is not necessarily because of what human beings can do, it also relates to what nature can do.

"She Had A Big Impact On My Life!"

There was a moment in the beginning of 2013, when I didn’t know why something was taking place. I had been in relationship for a few months and I didn’t completely understand why the woman I was with was behaving in a certain way. I had the need to find out about what might be going on, which caused me to go onto a search engine. I think this was a time when I typed in ‘hot and cold behaviour’, and before long I came across an article that covered what I was going through. The Website

Or, it could show that something in their life has had a big impact on them. The next step might be for them to reach out to a friend or a family member, for instance, for support.

False Self: Can Someone Create An Identity In Order To Meet Their Unmet Developmental Needs?

In the same way that someone can more or less always wear the same outfit, they can also more or less always behave in the same way. And, as part of how they behave, they can also typically wear the same type of clothes. They are then going to be a whole human being that has many different sides, but, based on how they usually behave, this won’t be clear. Naturally, this is going to restrict them and limit their ability to freely express themselves. For Example

Child Abuse: Can Someone Believe That They Deserve To Suffer If They Were Abused As A Child?

If someone was abused as a child, what took place will be over but it doesn’t mean that they will have put what took place firmly behind them. So, in the same way that a soldier who has left a warzone can carry the effects of what they experienced, one can also be in the same position. However, although this can be the case, it doesn’t mean that one will be able to make the connection. If they were to think about what took place during their early years, it could be one big blur.

If You Don’t Face Your Pain, You’ll Take It Out On Someone Else!

When I was at school I was friends with someone who wouldn’t put up with being treated badly by others, and this meant that he ended up having a lot of fights. 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. In a way, it was as though his very survival was constantly under threat and this was why he had to behave in this manner. If he didn’t behave in this way, his life might soon come to an end.

Online Dating: Should Both Men And Women Be Careful What They Reveal If They Want A Relationship?

If someone was to use an online dating app to try to find a mate, it is naturally going to be different to how it would be if they were to try to find a mate in the real world. For one thing, there will be only so much information available to them online. When they are looking at another person’s profile, they will have a number of pictures to look through and they may even have a write-up to go over. It is then not really going to be possible for them to get a sense of what the other person is really like. In The Flesh

Inner Conflict: Can Trapped Emotions Cause Inner Conflict?

When people work together and are all on the same side, so much can be achieved. If there is disharmony amongst people, problems can appear and this can lead to things being slowed down, or stopped completely. One example that comes to mind here is a sports team. When everyone in the team works together, amazing things can happen. But when just one of those members in the team is out of alignment with the rest, it can disrupt the whole ream. And the same thing applies to someone’s life.

Self Worth: Do You Alte ate Between Feeling Really Good And Really Bad?

While the ideal might be for one to experience a balanced sense of self worth, this is not always what takes place. Instead, one might experience life in such a way that they feel up one moment and down the next. This is not to say that one won’t have moments where they don’t feel up or down; as they may well have moments when this is the case. To have moments when one feels elated and moments where they feel dejected are part of life.

Although someone could live somewhere that is relatively safe and secure, it doesn’t mean that they will realise this at the core of their being. As a result of how they behave and live their life, it will be as though they are living in a very dangerous environment. But, even though this is something that may stand out to the outside observer, it might not stand out for them. Instead, how they experience life could just be what is normal and thus, they might not be able to see what is going on. The Normr

“Aren’t You A Bit Young To Be Writing About This Stuff!?”

In 2011 or 2012, I was asked if I would like to go to a talk at a university that was on food. I thought that this would be interesting, so I agreed to go along. If I remember rightly, there were a number of people there who spoke, and a number of them worked for big companies that supplied food. I think it only lasted a few hours, but I was pleased that I went along. Time to Relax Once it was over, everyone had the chance to have something to drink and there were also snacks available. And as my friend was a student there, he knew a number of the people there.

If this problem is a big as this source of information, along with the government, says it is, there are bound to be a number of reasons as to why this is. At the same time, one way of looking at this would be to say that this is another example of sensationalism, and that these two sources are making a mountain out of a hill.

False-Self: Can Someone Have A Needless False Self If They Experienced Early Deprivation?
