As Common As Sharing Your Experiences In A conversation Sometimes It’s Best To Just Listen

‘Oh that happened to me, too!’ Sharing your experiences in conversation is common but sometimes it’s best to just listen. Do you have a friend who responds to almost every anecdote you tell with “Oh my gosh, me too! This reminds me of when that happened to me.” Or perhaps you are that friend. Maybe you instinctively aim to bond with others by talking about experiences you’ve had that feel similar to what your friend has just shared.

Without Making Things Worse — Here Are Four Ways To Have Hard Conversations With Your Friends

Four ways to have hard conversations with your friends – without making things worse. It’s painful to watch someone you care about make what you perceive as bad life choices – we all want what’s best for our loved ones. This can be particularly hard when they are dating someone you don’t think is good, or right for them. Swifties (fans of Taylor Swift) have experienced this recently when Taylor Swift was reported to be dating famed bad boy and “problematic” favourite Matt Healy from the band The 1975. Some fans form parasocial relationships with famous figures like Swift – this is where they feel like they have a close personal relationship with a celebrity and feel invested in them, while the celebrity has no idea who they are. Taylor Swift’s actions are visible for public dissection and ...

Here’s A Legally Safer Way To Protect Yourself If You’re Sending Intimate Selfie Photos

If you’re sending intimate photos, taking a selfie is legally safer – here’s how to protect yourself. If you’ve considered sending a sexy photo, you’re not alone: research shows that up to 15% of adolescents and 48% of adults have sent sexually explicit texts or images. There’s no shame in sending intimate photos to a partner, but it’s not without risk. If someone betrays your trust and shares them online or with others, it is a form of abuse that can lead to lifelong psychological harm. It may also soon be illegal. New provisions in the UK’s online safety bill currently making its way through parliament will make it a criminal sexual offence to share private, sexual images without consent. They will also make it a crime to “cyberflash” someone – sending an unsolicited nude. If your photo...

Multiple Personalities — Which One Are You?

Do You Have Multiple Personalities? The human being is not only what he knows about himself, but also what belongs to his immense primitive conscience, which is wild and evil. That's why we observe the existence of many personalities in some patients' psychic spheres. They have absurd characteristics, since they are derived from the primitive conscience and their actions are always harmful. It is confirmed that some psychotic patients have double or multiple personalities and they are dominated by one of the personalities when their behavior is opposite to the behavior of their main personality. However, this is a very common phenomenon that occurs with many normal or neurotic people, but since their second personality is not so different from the main one, they are unaware of their mult...

Cougar – What’s In A Name?

I used to hate the term "Cougar" for all the obvious reasons. First, it evoked images of Mrs. Robinson in a girdle and garters, smoke billowing around her alcoholic head as she seduced a vulnerable (but willing) Benjamin. Flash forward to leopard clad women over 40 showing way too much cleavage, voguing in 4 inch stilettos, hanging out at bars, guzzling wine and dragging home young prey. Every time the media interviewed me, I cringed, knowing the obvious questions would be asked: "Isn't this just about sex?" "Isn't this just about money?" I endeavored to explain to them that in my 20 years of research as a human behavior research psychologist and world's foremost authority on cross generational dating and psychosexual imprinting (translation: Cougar and Cub dating) that they had it all wro...

An Ode To Friendship!

What is friendship? Well, friendship is too vast a concept or a relationship for a clear-cut definition. In fact, it always remains better-off undefined, and even unfathomable. For practical purposes though, friendships are based on mutual likes, mutual respect, mutual love and a whole limitless world of mutuality. Some friends are made instantly, on the first exchange of mutual likes or in line with that saying 'love at first sight' being replaced with 'friendship at first sight', while some others take time to bloom into a perfect relationship. It is not necessary to have everything in common to be friends: friends can have diametrically opposite interests or even ideologies or passions or professions and yet be the best of friends. Mind you, like marriages friends are not made in heaven...

With No Strings Attached Relationships

No stringed attached relationship is about casual relationships with no commitment. Friends with benefits never work. A no stringed attached relationship is about sex, not friendship. In fact, as long as you're single, you're allowed to date anybody other than your hookup friends. If you start investing energy with someone at one point in your life will befuddle the lines of your relationship. The relationship is just plain sex and that's it, so keep it that way. So as to remain unattached, you have to keep things on a need-to-know premise. Try not to talk about your days, contemplation, inclinations, or any personal subtleties of your lives. After you're finished with the deed, don't stay nearby. There are no sleepovers here. He just needs to fulfill you physically, not inwardly, so keep...
