Your Partner’s Annoying Quirks

"And that's when I shot her, your Honor" my husband says when he's annoyed with me, or had it with one of the many quirks I have that drive him crazy. That punch line never fails to make us laugh, and diffuse the situation. Why does the person you love most get on your nerves so badly? It's not that men are from Mars, or women are from Venus; it's more like we all grew up on different planets-and when planets collide, watch out! It seems logical that like would attract like, but in my private counseling practice, it's obvious that people are often drawn to their opposites. In a new relationship, it's adorable and exciting. It's not until partners become comfortable and more relaxed with each other, that all those new and exciting quirks become old and irritating. Familiarity makes those ...

Why Does Love Feel Magical? It’s An Evolutionary Advantage

In this age of science, many people see supernatural forces as illusions rooted in wishful thinking. But love remains a profound exception to humanity’s trend toward rationality. Evolutionary psychology may explain why magical thinking is so central to love. Viva Luna Studios via Unsplash, CC BY People are used to seeing romantic love presented as it is on the reality show “The Bachelor” – as a force cosmically bound to one’s destiny. It’s an idea that is at once laughable and uncannily relatable for anyone who has been in love and felt their pairing compellingly “meant to be.” Our research suggests that magical notions of fated love and soulmates are very common and deeply felt. As psychology researchers interested in why human beings think, feel and behave in the ways they do, we ask a...

‘Blue Balls’ Shouldn’t Be Used To Pressure Partners, There’s No Evidence They’re Harmful

‘Blue balls’: There’s no evidence they’re harmful, and they shouldn’t be used to pressure partners into sex. What are blue balls? Most people — health-care providers included — are familiar with this term referring to scrotal discomfort experienced in response to prolonged sexual arousal without orgasm. Although no one knows how the pain of blue balls develops, most implicate the slowed drainage of blood from the testicles in the absence of orgasm during sexual arousal. One of the key physiological aspects of sexual arousal is increased blood flow to areas of the body, including the genitals. Genital-based signs of sexual arousal include engorgement of the genital structures leading to erection of the penis and external clitoris, and this engorgement usually resolves quickly after orgasm...

What To Do With A Woman Who Has Commitment Phobia

A woman with commitment phobia always feels insecure and vulnerable when it comes to marriage. She wants to postpone the decision; is often confused and does not know how to get out of the relationship. Unlike men, women with commitment phobia don't go around hunting for men. They develop natural relationships; relationships in which they believe but which they are not willing to sustain. In the process they not only hurt men but also hurt themselves. They find it very difficult to get out of such relationships. There is a feeling of guilt; sometimes even of remorse. But these feelings are overpowered by a strong feeling of fear. There is a great reluctance to approach the subject of marriage. At the same time, there is despair too. They don't want to let go the man who has brought such ha...

Building Work Relationships While Staying Professional

Workplace besties: How to build relationships at work while staying professional. Having meaningful connections in the workplace is essential for personal and organizational success.

Teens See Selected Content As Not Just “For Them” But Also “About Them”

Teens see social media algorithms as accurate reflections of themselves, study finds. Social media apps regularly present teens with algorithmically selected content often described as “for you,” suggesting, by implication, that the curated content is not just “for you” but also “about you” – a mirror reflecting important signals about the person you are. All users of social media are exposed to these signals, but researchers understand that teens are at an especially malleable stage in the formation of personal identity. Scholars have begun to demonstrate that technology is having generation-shaping effects, not merely in the way it influences cultural outlook, behavior and privacy, but also in the way it can shape personality among those brought up on social media. The prevalenc...
