Psychology-Based Solutions To Avoid Repeating Past Relationship Mistakes
The first step towards stopping the repetitive relationship mistakes is to reflect honestly with oneself. In many cases, people subconsciously repeat certain actions, which are formed under the influence of the past experience, upbringing or, unprocessed traumas. Psychologist Carl Jung stressed the importance of being conscious to the patterns of the unconsciousness as a way of growing personally. Determining triggers, habitual reactions, and conflict themes, people can have a clear understanding of what makes relationships fail. These patterns can be clarified by journaling or therapy, or by guided introspection, so that the partners realize why they respond in a particular manner, and so they will not inadvertently recreate destructive patterns. The initial step to planned change is consciousness.

Society Pressured Me Into an Abusive Relationship. Content Warning.
Women ‘expire’ once they reach 30, or at least that’s what society wants us to believe. Magazines print articles about how women in their 30s shouldn’t do certain things, like wear fashionable clothes or makeup. Glitter at 30? Out of the question.

Word of the Day: 黄金雀
I am of mixed minds right now. I had this one guy I thought was cute and sweet. I was all confused because he was ghosting me and shit. He made me all sentimental and I was like a little lamb, but now there is this.......... really super hot guy talking to me. But he isn't just hot, we actually vibe a lot more too? I mean, I haven't met him in person so it might be just a text thing. Like, even though I am very excited, I calm myself down always and try not to lose myself in the delulu.

She Doesn’t Even Go Here
Outcast, aberrant, different. That’s me… I never quite fit in anywhere. Not in school, not in social situations, or any environment for that matter. I was everybody’s friend, but no one‘s best friend. Good at a lot of things, great at nothing. Jack of all trades, master of none.

Lifestyle Adjustments That Reduce Stress In Dating And Love
The dating stress can be a result of the failure to take care of oneself. The people who do not care about their physical, emotional, and mental well-being may be more likely to experience anxiety, overthinking, and emotional fatigue in relationships. Self-care should be on the priority list to ensure that the single and partners are balanced, resilient, and confident. Exercise, meditation, journaling, or hobbies are some activities that release the emotions and bring down the tension. When individual needs are fulfilled in a regular manner, individuals get into relationships in a position of strength and not of reliance which enables them to relate healthily and stress less.

Problem-Solving Strategies To Maintain Connection In Open Relationships
There must be transparency at the onset of open relationships. Lack of a common purpose may soon hurt the emotional security. Couples should be asked about the reasons they are embracing non-monogamy and their expectations of the benefits of non-monogamy. Others might want sexual experimentation, emotional growth, and others a greater feeling of independence. Having purpose defined minimizes assumptions and allows one partner not to feel like they were caught off guard. An excellent base will make the relationship a priority and not overtaken by external relationships or not clearly understanding what is expected.

Real-World Solutions For Trust Issues In Modern Dating
The problem of trust is a common issue in modern dating, which may be based on some past experiences of betrayal, rejection, or insecurity. People might have some emotional baggage in their past relationships and thus they might be suspicious or fear to be vulnerable in new relationships. It is important to identify the underlying cause of mistrust in order to deal with it. Realizing the reasons behind lack of trust, be it the fear of the individual, previous experiences or the actions of the partner would help the individual to view the relationship with more insight. Consciousness of these sources gives the basis of conscious choice and creates the prospects of healthy and safe relations.

Emotional Intelligence Practices That Improve Intimacy And Connection
The first component of emotional intelligence is self-awareness which is the capacity to be able to correctly identify and interpret personal feelings. In the absence of this, intimacy will be shallow since feelings that are not reviewed tend to cause confusion or defensiveness. Self-awareness is about regularly monitoring yourself, recognizing your emotional triggers, and recognizing patterns of your response to stress or love. This skill is enhanced by journaling, conscious reflection, and self-questioning. Once you get to know your emotional terrain, you express yourself more effectively and minimize projection. The development of self-awareness changes reactive habit into deliberate reply, which preconditions intensified intimacy and genuine connection in relations.

Word of the Day: 潜る
My story is sort of different than the way of water. In some ways it is the opposite. I was born near the beach, then we came to the forest. But really, I have been here so long, and I have different traumas around that so, I can't even claim that as much anymore, can I?

Word of the Day: 目に入れてもいたくない
Unfortunately, today is the start of the Mercury Retrograde. I should've sent some emails yesterday. I was too weak to do so yesterday, also since the appointment didn't happen.. Well, I can't use that as an excuse, I was weak so, whether the appointment happened or not, I wouldn't have had the strength to do anything afterwards either way.
