Self Worth: Why Do Some People Only Feel worthy When They Are Pleasing Others?

While some people feel accepted for who they are, there are other people who only feel accepted when they are pleasing other people. This could be something they are consciously aware of, or it could be something they are completely oblivious to. But there are going to be clear distinctions in how each person behaves. When one feels accepted for who they are, they are not going to have the need to please others people. At times they might do what other people want, but this will be a choice and not something they have no control over.

Social Media: Does Social Media Discourage Free Speech?

When one uses social media, they can either send a ‘friend’ a message or they can share something on their wall. And as to what approach they take can all depend on what they want to talk about. For example, if one has something personal to talk about, they may decide to send a private message. If, on the other hand, they have something impersonal to talk about, they might end up sharing it on their wall. Two Sides

Delaying Gratification: Is Delaying Gratification An Important Part Of Success?

As time has passed, there has been a greater need for everything to happen faster. The pace of the world has rapidly increased and a lot of people no longer want to wait for things.

This might match up with what they want or it could just satiate their needs for a short period of time. But while some things can be attainted without too much time having passed, there are some things that one is going to have to wait for.

Relationships: Why Would Someone Accuse Their Partner Of Cheating?

If one is in a relationship, they could begin to wonder what has happened to it. This could be a sign that it is no longer having the same effect on them as it used to have. What this could show is that they haven’t been putting in as much effort as they did in the past. Perhaps they have spent more time at work than they usually do, or their partner is not as available as they were in the past. Another Direction

Support: Why Do Some People Only Feel Supported When They Are Pleasing Others?

Each and every one of us is interdependent and this means that not only do we want to be supported by others, but that we also need to be; with it being it being vital for our own survival and our ability to thrive. The ideal is going to be for one to feel supported for who they are. There is then no need for them to lead a life of complete compromise and bending over backwards just to feel that they can exist, let alone thrive.

Self Awareness: How Can Someone Develop Self Awareness?

While it can be relatively easy to notice how another person behaves and how this affects their life, the same cant always be said about how one behaves and how this affects their life. And a big part of this comes down to how the modern day world is; with people generally being taught to focus on what is taking place exte ally and not to engage in any kind of self reflection. Our senses are then engaged and our attention ends up being placed on what is going on in the world.

Fear: Is Fear All In The Mind?

It is often said that human beings can allow their life to be defined by love or fear, and while one is often seen as destructive and the other is often seen as constructive, they both have a purpose. However, problems will arise when someone allows their life to be defined by fear. Another approach would be to say that love is the answer, and how one’s life would be fine if they allowed love to be their guide as opposed to fear. Yet, although this can sound right, it doesn’t mean that it is always the best approach.

There will be people who one can connect with without too many challenges appearing and others who cause one to question the human race. But regardless of what happens, relationships are a vital part of life and therefore can’t be avoided. The challenges can result in growth and enhance ones appreciation of relationships.

Emotional Body: How Can Someone Heal Their Emotional Body?

While it is clear that one has a physical body, what might not be as clear is that one also has an emotional body. So much attention has been placed on the mind or what could be called the mental body, that emotions often seen as being insignificant. And that the only time emotions do appear is when one has certain thoughts. This often creates the impression that emotions are just an effect of how one does or doesn’t think. Based on this outlook, one’s mind is in control and emotions are at the mercy of one’s thoughts.

Relationships: Why Do Some People Need Others To Tell Them What To Do?

Although each and every one of us is physically separate and therefore has our own needs and wants, it doesn’t mean that one is always aware of what these are. So instead of one looking within for guidance and a sense of purpose, they can end up looking to other people. This is what will be normal and what will feel comfortable to them. It doesn’t have to be something that takes place consciously either; with one just doing this unconsciously. What one should or shouldn’t be doing is then largely defined by the views and expectations of others. Dependent

Boundaries: Do Some People's Childhoods Set Them Up To Be Walked Over?

While boundaries are essential, it doesn’t mean that they are going to be the same for everyone. One person could feel infringed upon when another person does something, and if this was to happen to someone else, it might not cause any problems. But although there will be differences in what people are comfortable with and what they are not, there will be things that apply to everyone. So this means that someone can violate another person’s boundaries without them even realising it or it could be something they do on purpose.

How people experience and perceive life can vary from person to person. And that is without comparing people from extremely different parts of the world.

And not only can one be this way towards others, they can also end up being this way towards themselves; this can cause them to be their own worst enemy. The need could be there for them to be kind and understanding, and yet they end up being critical and even abusive to themselves.

To be human is to be vulnerable, but that doesn’t mean that accepting this is therefore easy. To surrender to this truth can be an incredible challenge; that is if one even wants to. And as a way to avoid this truth, one can create all kinds of walls and defences. But while this may allow one to avoid feeling vulnerable, it can only lead to more pain. I believe that one of our greatest needs is to be who we are. And to do that means being vulnerable. There is no choice in the matter; we cannot be our true self, if we are not willing to be vulnerable.

Emotional Awareness: Is Emotional Awareness An Important Part Of Being Able To Take Responsibility For How We Feel?

Each experience that one has in life is going to play a part in how they feel. In some cases, how one feels will reflect what has taken place and at other times, it won’t. And this is because what has happened exte ally has triggered feelings from the past. This inner experience could relate to something that happened a few weeks ago or even a few years. This shows that there is a least two factors when it comes how one feels when something happens in their life. And what will also play a part in both of these factors is how one’s mind interprets what takes place.
