The Psychology of Fear (for dummies) Pt. 2
A Quick Recap In one of my earlier articles, we discussed how there are various different causes of fear that have altering degrees of significance to each persons psyche, depending on how relevant it is to their innate "triggers". We discussed how fear can be intentionally taught to a person by altering their responses to certain situations, and things, as well as how certain sounds can induce fear in specific individuals, but not others. Furthermore, we discovered that the state of solitude can induce a fear-response in certain individuals, which is tied to our human evolution. However, none of those discoveries are found to induce fear for every single person across the globe. So the question still remains; What is the one thing that every living human fears, regardless of our cognitive differences?

Narcissism And Personality Disorders
Are all personality disorders the outcomes of frustrated narcissism? During our formative years (6 months to 6 years old), we are all “narcissists”. Primary Narcissism is a useful and critically important defense mechanism. As the infant separates from his mother and becomes an individual, it is likely to experience great apprehension, fear, and pain. Narcissism shields the child from these negative emotions. By pretending to be omnipotent, the toddler fends off the profound feelings of isolation, unease, pending doom, and helplessness that are attendant on the individuation-separation phase of personal development.

Colon, parentheses. What do I mean? What do I feel? It feels like my inner body rattles, and I’m unsure if it's real. Im unsure if my actual body is rattling, can people see me shaking? My friend sits next to me as I desperately suck crisp cold night air into my lungs, hoping that every breath forces greater space between me and the lingering panic attack. Can they feel my body rattling as they sit by my side?

I dreamt of a war a month or so ago. Not any particular war, more so the archetype itself, so this won’t be a political post feeding further the extreme division and polarisation we are witnessing once again in the society. Due to me being a mental health advocate, I feel I need to say something on the subject purely from a trauma informed perspective.
Eva SmittePublished 4 months ago in PsycheSurviving PTSD
I don't remember a lot of my childhood. At first, I just thought I had bad anger issues. All of my friends thought I was a very happy human being, because that is how I acted. Pretending that I was happy all of the time was just making me exhausted. The more tired I got the more I just did not care anymore. Being the always-happy, always-smiling girl was killing me now I'm just really angry. It makes sense that I am angry. In another universe my window is open and I'm lying on the floor. I am three years old and nothing bad has happened to me yet.
