To be social means being able to comfortably interact with other people and enjoy their company.
We often think we are autonomous beings capable of living alone. The truth is we need human interaction much more than we think. Human beings live better lives when they are in good interaction with their environment. To be specific, with other human beings.
Grandiosity is defined as an unrealistic sense of superiority, value, powerfulness, and uniqueness over other people. It is believing that you are better than others yet in reality you are not. Grandiosity is exaggerated and overestimated high self-esteem with no firm foundation of self-mastery. Authentic high self-esteem comes from self-mastery. The fake high self-esteem of grandiosity comes from an illusion or fantasy of self-mastery.
Aging is a stage of life we all can not avoid if we live long enough. With age comes, health conditions, wrinkles on the skin, body weakness, slow brain function, and many other body states we do not desire. Everybody wants to live long enough but no one wants to age.
When you are born into this world there is a whole life ahead of you. you are born with the will and choice to shape your life as you wish. However, once we develop abilities to comprehend our environment, society starts to shape us. Our parents, neighbors, friends, siblings, teachers, leaders, etc start to alter our innate being to what is conventional or known in society. If we do not look within to become the best version of ourselves, we either become the best version of someone, society, or a person we hate to be.
To be confident in something means being certain of it and conscious of your abilities in doing that very thing. To be confident in something isn’t being arrogant as opposed to feeling less worthy. It is being sure that you know your capacity in understanding, doing, or knowing something.
Therefore, self-confidence as described by Brian Tracy in his book “The Power of Self Confidence’’ is a feeling or consciousness in one’s power or of reliance on one’s circumstances.
A simpler Self-confidence definition is the trust in one’s abilities.
Sometimes life gets you in a place you never at any point desired or wished to be in. You wake up one cold morning and it just hits you how unhappy you are. You find yourself in a relationship that sucks the life out of you and just can’t figure out how to get out of it.
So, the big guy on the bus made fun of you and everybody laughed. You got humiliated and angry. You want to insult him back but unfortunately, he will get angry and hit you. You want to punch him but he is way stronger than you.
So, you push down your anger and act cool. But when you reach home, you redirect it to your little sister innocently singing out twinkle twinkle little stars. You accuse her of making noise and overreact about it. That is displacement psychology.
A god complex is as it sounds, a person having a false perception of having god-like characteristics of perfect, infallible, and always able. Simply defined, a god complex means a firm or strong belief characterized by strong feelings of unique personal abilities, traits, inability to make mistakes, and being naturally above the abilities of other people.
According to the American Psychological Association, an inferiority complex is a basic feeling of inadequacy and insecurity, deriving from actual or imagined physical or psychological deficiency. Inferiority is the foundation of both the inferiority complex and the superiority complex.
A superiority complex is a defensive mechanism a person develops over time to shadow insecurities and feelings of inferiority by acting better than others, being superior, talking big about oneself, and sometimes demanding special attention.
To reinvent yourself means to switch from the person you unconsciously became to the one you consciously want to become. No one ever plans to intentionally put themselves in a bad situation. Sometimes it is the mistakes we make that get us to live a life we hate. Other times it is society and the environment around us that imposes a certain life on us that we are not proud of.
Even the most experienced in matters concerning relationships will need someone to talk to about them. A lot of emotions get so involved when we are facing challenging situations with our partners. Because relationships are more built on what we feel rather than what we think, we become very emotional and fail to make the right decisions.
The moral imperative to always tell the truth can sometimes get you in a situation where you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. You want to be honest but the consequences of your true words will possibly leave you regretting, cause damage, or hurt someone.
On the other side, if you tell a lie, your dishonest words will possibly save a life, buy you time to do something very important, or eliminate a situation that could lead to great damage but live you guilty for lying.
Have you lost interest in most activities, especially those you enjoy doing? Is your weight or appetite going down? Is your sleep disrupted by insomnia, hypersomnia, oversleeping, or failure to fall back asleep after waking up in the middle of the night? Do you feel fatigued and tired all the time? Or even want to be withdrawn and locked up in your bedroom away from people? You may be suffering from depression.
The day’s work is done. Dinner is done. You do not want to go to bed yet or don’t even have sleep. You are bored and wondering what interesting thing you can do to keep you occupied. You do not have it. You are bored to the bone.
