Why is she ignoring me if she likes me? I know, it’s frustrating, right? You’ve heard through the grapevine that the girl you like likes you too. Her friends have told you, your friends have told you, shoot, even her sister says she’s always talking about you! So why isn’t she showing you any love? Why is it that when you’re in the same room as her, she literally acts as if you don’t exist?...

Dealing with a toxic parent can be an extremely difficult experience. They thrive on getting you worked up, they are less than understanding, they seldom see things the way you do, and you often end up miserable. While this may just be happening on the home scene, dealing with such toxicity can take a toll on you both physically and psychologically. What even makes it more difficult is the fact that they are a family member, and you’re most likely near them....

Have you just broken up with your narcissistic partner and can’t seem to stop thinking about them? You know the relationship was destructive and unhealthy, even though you may want to get back together. You know that it wouldn’t be in your best interest. So instead of cutting ties completely, you wonder whether you can be friends with your ex. Remaining friends with your narcissistic ex-partner is something you’ll need to consider carefully because narcissists are complicated people....

The socially constructed idea of a ‘man’ can complicate the situation a little. He’s hurting, but he might want to hide the fact he’s hurting because his ‘weak’ side could be exposed. Whether he tries to hide it from you or not, the hurt will show just enough for you to read the signs he’s heartbroken over you. Guys do hurt after a breakup, some of them long later after the breakup, some of them get struck by the pain at the moment the relationship ends....

Heck, you’ve enjoyed your coffee in the morning! Things and evenings took a different turn since he pulled away, didn’t they? Now your evenings are accompanied and disturbed by thoughts, urges, and questions. Now your coffee tastes a bit bitter, and it’s difficult to enjoy. Sugar? No, thanks. We now have another ingredient called overthinking, thanks to our guy pulling away! There’s this specific urge when he pulls away. It’s the urge to chase him, to want to make him yours, or make him chase after you....

Narcissists thrive on their narcissistic supply, it is the very oxygen of attention that they need. So, a serious illness or is like manna from heaven for a narcissist. They can demand almost unlimited attention from their family and carers, even potentially regaining control of adult children who have fled the nest and all of them have to, because who would ignore a sick or dying parent? Being seriously ill is no picnic for anyone and normally sympathy and help are due, quite rightly....

You’re being held in the past and you want to break the chains of not letting go. Even if you try to forget your ex, you’ll find them in every bit of situations that might connect you with them.

You feel sadness, anger, guilt, you might feel rejected, confused, and lonely....

The good memories get in the way, making your voice shake a little, perhaps your eyes water too, and making you think of rethinking the decision to end the relationship. You end up not knowing when to end a relationship in the first place, especially a relationship with someone you still love and care about. The first sign would be the fact that you’re asking yourself this question. You thought about when is it time to break up, perhaps you feel anxious about it, and you’re just looking for an answer to tell you the right thing to do....

There’s no denying that you like her. She’s fun, interesting, and everything you’ve been looking for in a woman. And yet, telling her how you feel seems scary. What if she doesn’t feel the same way? What if she throws you in the dreaded friend zone? It used to be that people valued face-to-face conversation when sharing their innermost secrets. But today, with so many people relying on virtual communication to connect with others, there’s nothing wrong with texting her about your feelings....

Have you ever wondered if a guy likes kissing you? Better yet, have you ever wanted to know how to tell if a guy likes kissing you? Kissing is an intimate moment shared between two people and this is especially true for a first kiss. Oftentimes, kissing is the closest we get to passionate physical contact between the guy we’re interested in before things get more serious. So figuring out if your kissing style is enjoyable to your guy is important....

Why is it so important to make a good impression with your first texts? That first message is crucial. It can affect your chances of getting the lady of your dreams to be genuinely interested in you. To wow a girl via text message, you need to manage the art of the first impression. First impressions are more than mere moments. Another reason why first impressions are so important is that they are lasting....

It is not always obvious when a person has a narcissistic boyfriend… as narcissistic traits are not always immediately obvious. While there are different levels of narcissism, most narcissists are able to blend in with the rest of society. Symptoms of a narcissistic boyfriend include illusions of greatness, inability to emotionally connect with others, feeling as though he is special and unique, and strong feelings of jealousy. It is not uncommon for them to be jealous of all previous intimate relationships that their partner may have had....

Q: Can a Narcissistic get that jealous of a family pet and potentially hurt it? If the stories are odd about his ex (kids mother) alarm bells are ringing about his ex issues is it worth talking to her to get closure or ignoring it? Are Narcissists jealous on Pets?

What are the effects of a Narcissistic mother on her daughter? When you imagine a picturesque mother-daughter relationship, what do you see? The compassionate, warm mother who can make every problem seemingly disappear? The daughter who turns to her mother with every secret? The loving, respectful bond that morphs into a beautiful friendship? For daughters of narcissistic mothers, the relationship doesn’t resemble anything like traditional love. Instead, it often seems like a constant, losing battle....

Think of a creature so full of self-loathing that they can’t bear themselves. A being robbed of self-esteem and internally at least, totally without redeeming qualities. In literature you have it marked out in characters like Tolkien’s Gollum, Dickens’ Uriah Heep, or Nils Bjurman from Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy. It is hard to believe from the selfish and grandiose behavior of narcissists, but if you had a magic mirror that could reflect how they feel inside, their mirror image would be something like one of these three, a kind of Dorian Gray of the soul....

Jokes aside, I understand that when he suddenly stops contacting you and comes back again can make it feel anything but fun. In fact, the feeling that such behavior gives is far from fun. You’re left feeling miserable for a while (let’s say he stops texting you for a few days) just so that he can suddenly text you again and give you that dopamine hit. Whether he does this too often, or he did it just once, he surely has reasons for doing so....

Even though we always spend time together, he’s making it pretty clear that he doesn’t want a relationship. Does he see me as just a friend? Is he just like all the other guys who can’t fully commit? He seems like a great guy, but why is he sticking around if he doesn’t want to get emotionally involved? Why does he keep me around if he doesn’t want a relationship?...

Love for some is a scary feeling, for some, it’s exhilarating, for some it’s never been experienced before. He has his reasons for hiding it. However, there’s this one thing that exposes each one of us. It’s called subconscious. He’ll do things he’s not aware he’s doing, it’s your presence affecting him and triggering those actions he does without knowing he’s giving off his little secret. Here are 17 so obvious signs he loves you secretly:...

You are dating with a nice guy and slowly falling in love with him. You are fantasizing about how it will be to make love to him but you are not sure yet. And how do you know if he wants to make love to you? As important as it is to know the real deal about his intentions, it’s equally important to know whether or not he’s serious about you....
