It's impossible to be alone!. Content Warning.
What is loneliness? Many people feel lonely from time to time. It may be when they're at school or work and there can't find the right people to talk to and share their feelings. When they move to a new city or when their friends don't have time for them. But in recent decades, this occasional feeling has become chronic for millions of people. In the UK, 46% of the entire population feel lonely regularly. We're living in a time where we're constantly connected to the world through technology, but still many people feel lonely. But are they alone? No! In fact, you won't find one person in this world who is as alone! But they may be lonely for real!

Narcissism And Personality Disorders. Content Warning.
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.

Unleashing the power of now
In the maze of my thoughts, overthinking used to be my worst adversary, stealing my calm and warping my clarity at every moment. The Thought Tornado would not stop whirling while I slept, entangling me in a noway - ending web of solicitude and pondering.

Mental health basics.
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.

A Flock of Questions. Top Story - December 2023.
It always occurred when least expected. As the moon stalked me home on late car rides. When I sat under my favorite tree contemplating the cracks in the ground caused by the months of drought. While I bent down to tie my shoe.

Breaking a Generational Curse
When I'm driving, my mind tends to wander. This can fall into the category of “a dangerous pastime,” as Lafou says, especially since I tend to reach into the past and try to figure out what the heck people's problems were with me. Obsessive? Perhaps, but I do try to improve myself, and I firmly believe in doing post mortems of relationships, no matter what kind. If I'm going to make mistakes, I want to make new ones, not repeat past screwups.
