Self-Sabotage: Do Some People Sabotage Their Life In Order To Stay Loyal To Their Family?

There are some people who are able to move forward and achieve success, and then there are others who are unable to do this. And when one experiences life in this way, it could cause them to go down a number of different paths. They could end up looking exte ally for the answers, and seeing what it is that is in the way for them making progress. Or they might look within themselves, and look at why they are not allowing themselves to go to the next stage in their life. A Bit of Both

Boundaries: Is Having Open Borders A Good Idea?

If one wanted travel to another country, there is a strong chance that they would need to have a passport. In addition to this, they may also find that they need to get a visa. This could be something that doesn’t bother them, and they are then not going to have the need to think about whether the world should be this way. One might simply want to get everything sorted so that they can go to where they need to go. Part of Life

Relationships: Why Do Some People Try To Get Back With Their Ex?

When a relationship comes to an end it can be an incredibly painful experience. And this doesn’t even need to be a relationship was fulfilling or healthy; as it can be painful no matter how ‘good’ or ‘bad’ it was. So this means that someone can have the desire to get back with their ex and for the relationship to continue even though this might not be the best option. Logically one might think that if the relationship didn’t work before, then the best option would be to move on.

Relationships: Why Do Some People Who Have Empathy End Up With People Who Don't Have Empathy?

When someone has the ability to empathise with others, they might expect to attract people into their life who are the same. But while they can have this outlook, it doesn’t mean that this is what will take place. Instead, they can end up attracting people who are the completely opposite, and this can make them wonder what is going on. For one thing, it is often said that ‘like attracts like’ and if this is the case, then surely one shouldn’t be experiencing life as they are. The Other Side

Higher Power: Do Some People’s Childhoods Set Them Up To Disconnect From Their Higher Power?

While there are some people who are able to identify with something larger than themselves, there are others who are unable to do so. When this is possible for someone, they are likely to feel connected, whereas, if this isn’t possible, they might feel disconnected. This might be a connection that one experience’s through being part of a certain religion or this might take place through another way. In this case, the approach that they use to feel connected is different but it could be said that the result is the same.

Meaning: Can Embracing Our Pain Lead To A More Meaningful Life?

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.

Aggression: What Can Happen When Men Reject Their Aggression?

If one was to come across as happy, they are likely to be accepted by the people around them. However, if they were to come across as aggressive, they may not receive the same level of approval. Now, this is not to say that this is black and white as it can all depend on the context, but what it does show is that not all emotions are seen in the same light. When one comes across someone who is happy, they are likely to come to the conclusion that they are safe to be around.

Relationships: Do Some People End Up With People They Are Not Attracted To In Order To Avoid Themselves?

While one can end up with someone who they are attracted to, they can also end up with someone who they are not attracted to. If they were to end up with someone they are attracted to, it could be said that they will be a lot happier. A Meal One way of looking at this would be to imagine one person eating a meal they like and another person eating a meal they don’t like. The first person is likely to enjoy every mouthful and they might not want this experience to come to an end.

Child Abuse: Do Parents Lack Empathy When They Deny What Happened?

Over six years ago, I wrote an article titled, ‘Abusive Parents: Why Do They Deny What Happened?’ In terms of the amount of comments that I have received for this article, it has to be one of the most popular articles that I have ever written. I wrote this article at a time when I was trying to get to grips with my own childhood abuse and neglect. A little while before this my father had passed on and, in many ways, I was holding on for dear life. Guidance

Intimacy: Can Embracing Our Pain Lead To Greater Levels Of Intimacy?

Human beings have an inherent need to share who they are with others; they need to be seen and heard. When this happens, one will share what is really taking place for them and not what they think someone wants to hear or what will make them look ‘right’. However, in order for someone to open up, they will need to feel safe in the other person’s presence. If one doesn’t feel safe, it might not matter how comfortable they are in their own skin.

Practice: Does Practice Make Perfect?

Human beings are often born with a certain ability or a number of abilities and these will vary from person to person. Other people may enable one to realise what they are good at or one may have to get in touch or ‘find’ what they are good at themselves. Once one realises what they are it will then be important for them to nurture whatever they find. What this means then, is that this is active process and not something that just happens. Just sitting back and being passive is therefore not going to allow one to fulfil their strengths. Wasted

Relationships: How Can Someone Experience The Desire To Be In A Relationship When They Have Had So Many Bad Experiences?

When one has a history of bad relationships, the last thing on their mind can be to have another one. However, regardless of what they have been through, the need to be with someone is not going to completely disappear. What can happen is that one can end up disconnecting from this need and the pain of what they have been through can define their life. As a result of this, it can seem as though they no longer have this need. The Past

Criticising Others: Do Some People Criticise Others To Make Themselves Feel Better?

There are a number of things that someone can do to change how they feel, and it could be said that some of these things are going to be better than others. For example, if one was to reach out for chocolate whenever they need to change their mood, it could set them up to experience negative consequences. However, if they were to only do this from time to time, it might not have much of an effect on them. It is all going to depend on how they respond to it, as this could still be more than enough to cause them problems. A Differed Response

Relationships: Can Rescuing Others Stop Someone From Experiencing Intimacy?

When one feels comfortable with their own feelings, it will give them the ability to open up to others. In fact, it could be said that it will be normal for this to take place, and this is going to mean that their relationships are likely to be far more fulfilling than they would be if this wasn’t the case. This is not to say that they will open up to everyone they know, as they are likely to realise that this is not something that will always be appropriate. While there will be people who will be able to hear what they have to say; there will be others who won’t. For Example

Social Media: Are Some People Emotionally Dependent On Social Media?

If someone was asked about how social media benefits their life, they may say that it allows them to connect to others. This is likely to be the kind of answer that a lot of people would give them. And as it is so easy to connect with other people through using it, it is to be expected that this will be a common response. It no longer matters if their ‘friends’ live down the road, or if they live on the other side of the planet. Direct

Teaching: Do Some People Become Teachers In Order To Feel Superior To Others?

It has been said that everyone on this planet is a teacher on one hand and student on the other. Based on this, it is a two way process, and if one doesn’t have this outlook, they are likely to be out of balance. In this case, one could believe that other people are here to learn from them or they could believe that they have nothing to offer the world. Therefore, one could see themselves as being above their fellow human beings or they could see themselves as being below them. Balance

Letting Go: Is Grieving An Important Part Of Letting Go?

As soon as something ends, there is the chance for something to begin; just as when something begins, there is the chance for something to end. This is the cycle of life, and something that will continue until the time that one passes on. However, this is not something that always takes place and so instead of one being able to let go, they end up holding on. It is then not possible for them to experience a new beginning in their life.

Customer Service: Is It Important To Smile?

If one was to come into contact with someone they know, they could end up receiving a smile and then a few words. At the same time, they might not offer them a smile and only a few words could be spoken. When the former takes place, it is likely to be a sign that one is close to the other person, or that they have good communication skills. On the other hand, when this doesn’t happen it could mean that one doesn’t have a close connection to them, or that they are not very good with people. An Important Factor

Alte atively, they may think about someone who experiences emotions from both sides of the spectrum. But while they experience them, they don’t end up defining their life, and this is because they are able to acknowledge how they feel on one side and to carry on with their life on the other.

Permission: Do We Need Permission In Life?

Although one may have the desire to act in a certain way or to achieve a certain goal, there can be challenges that get in the way. And one of those challenges is the need to gain permission from others. Now, this is not necessarily something that one looks for at a conscious level, it could be something one seeks unconsciously. But even though one might not even be aware of this need, it can define what they do and what they don’t do in life. If one is conscious of this a solution can be sought and yet if they are unaware of this need, it can cause extreme self sabotage.

While some people can feel worthy as a result of they are, other people can only feel worthy as a result of what they do. In the first case, ones worth has been internalised, and in the other, their worth is based on exte al factors. So the first person can just be and feel valuable without having to do anything. What they do is then a reflection of the value they feel and not something they do in order to feel valuable.
