Even if this passes with time, each experience and breakup is different from one another. Experiencing panic attacks and feeling lonely after the breakup is quite normal. The person that used to be the main focus of your life is not there. The void that they live in will haunt you for a while. Even if you’re the dumper or the dumpee the marks that a breakup will leave will induce loneliness and anxiety....

What are some good excuses to leave the house when you live with your parents? Some of the best excuses include you are studying for an exam, you need to collect your purse/wallet, or you need to give your friend something. Strict parents can get in the way when you’re a teenager and just want to have fun. They have so many rules and regulations that sometimes you feel like you’re living in a prison....

We’ve all met them, the boss that hates being corrected, the romantic partner that can’t handle being upstaged, or the friend that’s always putting you down to bring themselves up. What’s their issue? They’re so full of themselves and starving for attention. Is it just a big ego or are they a full-fledged narcissist? We frequently conflate the two, but some important differences are separating those with big egos and those with a personality disorder like narcissism....

Q: I have no contact now for 11 weeks. Before I had contact on and off. But that did hurt to much. I was wondering, what does the narcissist feel about this ‘no contact’ ? I think he is so angry about this, that there will be no contact anymore. Maybe I shouldn’t have this question, but it is a kind of revenge when he will feel this way. Thank you A: No Contact is for the sanity and safety of the narcissist’s victim....

More and more attention is being paid to the term “narcissism” every year. In the age of immediate feedback, cell phones with cameras, social media and of course the “selfie”, people everywhere are wondering if we have become so preoccupied with ourselves that narcissism is on the rise What IS narcissism? Narcissism is short for Narcissistic Personality Disorder or NPD. This is a diagnostic category (in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual known as the DSM-IV and V) that is characterized by grandiosity, need for admiration, exploiting others, and the tell tale sign–lack of empathy....

The tiring thoughts and troubled mind join the room, as a matter of fact, they kick out the calm thoughts, and peace of mind. He just won’t text back! Not to mention the almost compulsive urge to check the phone every time a notification pops up, with the thought of ‘Oh this could be him!’. Yet again, he won’t text back! The solution to this problem is in you, it’s just that it’s a little blurry because, well, he didn’t text back....

When love is backed up by healthy communication and openness, you’ve got a strong bond that overcomes the miles! You’re facing another obstacle that isn’t measured by miles: He pulled away. Now the distance is measured by his behavior, the way he approaches you, and the way he talks to you. How is this behavior exactly manifested, and what can you do about it? Let’s ease those troubled thoughts!...

Abuse has many forms and interpretations. Generally, the word ‘abuse’ represents behavior that’s harmful, damaging emotionally, physically, sexually, culturally, etc. There are misconceptions on what an abusive relationship represents, and it’s one of the many reasons why a victim of abuse continues to stay in an abusive relationship. Abuse can be solely emotional, solely physical, solely sexual, or it can be all/some of those combined. It doesn’t have to be only physical for it to be called abuse....

What are some good questions to ask Siblings? Are you meeting your siblings again after a long time apart? You may have grown up together, but that doesn’t mean you know each other well, does it? After all, you went your separate ways some time back. Much has changed for both of you, and there’s much catching up to do. That’s great, of course—that means there are many pleasant conversations to be had....

When an ex blocks you on everything doesn’t mean that it is always your fault. Hence, sometimes your continuous persistence might make your ex cut contact with you permanently. I know that this isn’t the best feeling in the world because it leaves you constantly wondering. If your ex blocks you on everything one might say you win and another one might say you lost. That all depends on how your ex is feeling after the breakup and how they are grieving....

Love is a powerful emotion, and most people don’t know how to articulate it; they know how they feel. Reasons you love your partner include he is trustworthy, he is considerate, and he is romantic. But it’s important to mention that love is not a feeling, those butterflies you get at the beginning of a relationship don’t last. Eventually, the chemistry wears off. Love is a choice, and it’s based on your actions; you choose to continue loving your partner regardless of their flaws....

A few possible reasons you’re here could be: you want to know how to be good to your boyfriend, you’re thinking of how to surprise your boyfriend during lockdown, or the usual “How to surprise my boyfriend for no reason?”… Perhaps you ran out of things to do with your boyfriend, and now you’re trying to spice things up a little, or you just want to make him happy, or whatever reason in the world brought you here… Welcome sister!...

She’s always smiling when you’re together. She messages you all the time and asks intimate questions about your life. She’s never directly said she likes you, but…. she acts strangely whenever your other female friends are around. Maybe she’s extra touchy or becomes moody. She might even have rolled her eyes when you talked about another girl. So why is she doing that? Is she jealous? Does she like you?...

This is ego coming into play, and usually ignoring him pokes his ego a little too much. If you’re completely unimportant to him, he won’t notice if you stop contacting him. On the other hand, if you have the slightest bit of importance in his life, he will surely notice the absence of your communication. If your intention is to get his attention by not texting him, then not texting him will work, but a lot goes through his head when you don’t contact him back....

Question from a dedicated reader Q: My husband of 40 years died last year. I just recently discovered by all that I read that he was a cerebral narcissist. He was also an alcoholic and passive-aggressive. We dated for 1 year with all the great stuff. Got married and 9 months later I got pregnant. Sex was fine until 1-2 months before she was born. After her birth he turned on a dime....

You may see it as just a kiss, but it makes your relationship closer, warmer, and more comfortable. It fosters an emotional bond that makes you feel like you belong together. Did you know that men are often the ones who ask for smooches in the average romantic relationship? Of course, not every guy likes to kiss, but it remains one of the ways to express genuine love. So, why do guys want to kiss?...

Sleepless nights, some crying every now and then, and finally: self-blaming. He stopped texting you. When he stops texting you, you’re left questioning every word you said, everything you did the past month or so, just so you can get some sort of explanation or reason for his leaving with no warning. There are different reasons why a guy suddenly stops texting, but it is mostly a sign of immaturity, a sign of lack of emotional intelligence, and empathy....

Why did your ex disappear from social media? If you’ve recently gone through a breakup, you probably expected to continue seeing your ex’s activities on your social media feeds. After all, if they’re interested in remaining friends or possibly getting back together later, they’d keep in touch, right? But what’s confusing (and hurtful) is when your ex suddenly disappears from your feed. Whether they’ve blocked you or they’ve just stopped posting altogether, it can be tough to figure out why your ex has decided to vanish into thin air....

Were you recently dumped? Are you reeling over what happened and wondering what your ex is thinking right now? Have you scoured through his social media posts, hoping to gain more insight into his feelings? You’re not alone. And as it turns out, your ex might be facing some serious regret right now. In many cases, the dumpers remorse process follows a somewhat predictable pattern. Here’s what you can expect (and how you should interpret your ex’s behaviors)....

Some men will tell you that they’re ready for a relationship only through actions. When his feelings aren’t strong enough or he is afraid of a commitment, he wouldn’t be interested in something serious. If he aims to be in a relationship with you, he will stick around. This means that if he is ready for the long haul, he will be persistent. I understand that this situation raises many questions because every person is different....
