Change the way people see you and treat you

No matter who you are, what level of an organization you work at or in what kind of industry it is important to be liked. People would rather work with a like-able person who is incompetent than with someone highly competent but obnoxious. People are more likely to notice an increase in your likeability than an increase in your technical skills. You’ll never be liked by everyone but social skills […]

Attachment Style May Not Be What You Think It Is

Do you tend to obsess in your relationships, over-analyzing text messages and response times, and feeling like you need to constantly ward off threats to your relationship? Or are you more likely to avoid getting too close, preferring to take care of your own needs? Maybe you’re actually pretty comfortable with the give and take of a relationship, able to flow between more connected states and more independent states without experiencing […]

 

Rate it, being well educated or well-behaved?

Is love enough? …Effects of Lack of Love.

The common factor in most of these breakups was that the love was still very much there, strongly present, yet […]

 

Love itself does not hurt. It is growth that hurts, the ego that stings.

For example, when a relationship ends, we feel hurt, our hopes and dreams have crashed and we feel lost and lonely, wondering what comes next. Fear arises because the unknown is in front of us, and the mind usually assumes the negative, saying things like, “I’ll never meet anyone else,” “I’m too old/overweight/unattractive” or “I […]
