personality disorder
Personality disorders are as complex as they are misunderstood; delve into this diagnosis and learn the typical cognitions, behaviors, and inner experience of those inflicted.
AI, psychopathy and success. Top Story - July 2023.
In the popular imagination a psychopath is a cruel and manipulative murderer, one who is cool, unfeeling and calculating in his desire to inflict suffering and pain. Characters like Hannibal the Cannibal spring to mind, or the real life American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Yet not all psychopaths are killers, nor indeed violent offenders of any kind. Which is just as well when it has been estimated that between 1% and 4.5% of the general population qualify as psychopathic (Bing AI search result).

When Sharing Stops Being Connection
It begins generously. Someone across the table tells you something that clearly costs them to say — a diagnosis, perhaps, or the real reason a marriage ended. You lean in. Then comes another thing, and another. The father who left. The manager quietly edging them out. The sister who stopped calling. Twenty minutes pass, then forty. By the time the bill arrives, you know more about this person's inner life than about some of your oldest friends. They have asked you almost nothing.

NARCISSISTS FORCE YOU INTO ALIGNMENT WITH GOD
There is an ancient mystery: if God is everything, where does the darkness belong? In the beginning, there was darkness—and God said, Let there be light. The universe itself seems to speak in this language: light and shadow, death and renewal, creation and dissolution. Even the yin-yang carries the paradox: each contains a seed of the other.

The performance of being unbothered.
You know those people who reiterate how they don’t care when something unexpected happens to them—when they’ve been blindsided by something they should’ve seen coming if they read all the signs right the first time around. It takes a certain type of person to sit there with their arms crossed and a straight face, or say it in a text with three paragraphs of context nobody asked for, or even better—in a caption that took longer to write than the thing they claim not to be affected by. These people, by their own account, are completely unbothered.

Margaux Hemingway was living your Instagram feed in '75. And it killed her.
Long before the curated life was old money, a Hemingway was dying inside of it. A ‘soft girl era’ is trending across Pinterest and Instagram, a minimal aesthetics filled with photos of your most simplest moments; a morning latte, a phony ‘candid’ photo, a psychology book intentionally placed on your sofa. Intimate aspects of life that were once kept private are now shared with the world. But this trend isn’t new. Before supermodels and their lavish lifestyles we see today, there was Margaux Hemingway—the striking ‘face’ of the ‘70s generation when it came to fashion and modeling. Her intimidating and mysterious aura captivated women globally. The media turned her into the muse you aspired to be.

Your Mind is Messy too
On learning to live with the noise inside our heads instead of waiting for it to disappear Okay, so I’ve been putting off writing this one for a while because I didn’t know how to say it without sounding like every other “healing” post out there. But here goes anyway.

Why Facts Don’t Change Our Minds
Facts are often presented as the strongest tool for changing opinions. If someone believes something that is demonstrably incorrect, it seems logical to provide accurate information and expect their position to change. Yet human psychology is far more complicated. People do not always evaluate information objectively, and even strong evidence can sometimes strengthen an existing belief rather than replace it.
