A Psychologist Finds That All Failed Relationships Come Down To One Basic Problem

By
Mary Wright

I think the trouble with all relationships is that we believe that our partner should just know all our heart’s desires. After all, they should have learned how to make us happy after spending years in the dating game, right? Well, apparently not.

Psychologists have been trying to solve the mystery of why relationships fail since forever. Sometimes it feels like they are more likely to solve all the mysteries of the universe before discovering the thing responsible for failed relationships.

The psychologist Katherine Schafler deeply believes that the reason why relationships fail boils down to one crucial thing – the language of love.

Namely, we are all different and we all speak different love languages. The language of love differs from the language we use when we speak to our friends, family, and colleagues.

The language of love is something that allows us to express our most intimate desires and show our love to those that we love them. However, the problems start to arise when partners speak different love languages.

For instance, if you want your partner to give you flowers from time to time but you have never actually told them, how are they supposed to know that you want flowers? Well, you might think that if they love you bringing you something that you like should be obvious to them. But, it is not.

And while many relationships collapse under the pressures of money, obligations, expectations, and society, the truth is that many more relationships fail because one partner feels that the other one doesn’t care about them.

What’s the solution?

Always be clear with your partner about your desires. If flowers make you happy – tell them. Be expressive about everything that you need in the relationship. Your partner is not a mind-reader.  

However, I understand why stating your needs may be a problem for you. It’s because you think that telling your partner what you want them to do would take the romance out of the relationship. But, let me tell you that this is not true.

Society has already put a lot of pressure on the relationships nowadays. Everyone is expected to behave in a certain way and always say the right thing. And this is so unrealistic and entirely exhausting.

People show their love in different ways.

Some show their love by giving gifts. Some show their love through their words. Some let their action speak louder than their words. Some get more physical with you. And some show their love by spending a quality time with their partner.

All these ways mean ‘love’ to different people. So, relationships start to fall apart when partners don’t have the same love language.

For example, if you express your love through your words, and when you say, “I love you” to your partner but they don’t say it back, you might feel uneasy and uncertain of their feelings for you. If you also show your love by doing something nice for them like taking them out for a nice dinner, but they don’t reciprocate you will start driving yourself crazy.

But, stop for a moment and think of ways that your partner might be showing their love for you, but you couldn’t see it because their ways of showing love are very different from yours.

We all love the way we want to be loved.

What does this mean? This means that if your partner never looks at their phone when you are together, they tell you that they feel loved when you give them your undevoted attention. So, you should put away your phone too when you are together.

Understanding your partner’s language of love can be a really powerful tool for you to show them your love and affection.

Because, remember it is not enough trying to meet your own needs for love in the relationship, but it is very important to learn what makes your partner feel loved and to love them the right way.

What do you think about this? Do you agree?

3 Ways You Can Tell A Narcissist Is Trying To Manipulate You And How To Respond

By
Stephanie Reeds

When you think about all the types of wicked people who do us more damage than benefit by being in our life, (the ones who contaminate our world with their toxic venom), narcissists are the top of the worst, most toxic people of all.

You could say that the range of narcissism is a full-colored spectrum. And people who possess narcissistic traits, belong to one or the other side of the spectrum,  without being clinically diagnosed with an actual medical disorder.

You can classify them as arrogant, self-centered, manipulative and extremely devoid of empathy and compassion.

Narcissists have mastered the art of getting into people’s minds and controlling their world to the point of destroying them to the very core and leaving a trail of wreckage behind them. They are merciless in their quest for power, so they’ll stop at nothing when it comes to their own benefits.

If you ever had the unfortunate chance to be a part of their life, they probably managed to successfully manipulate you without you being aware of it at first.

However, to prevent this from happening ever again, you need to learn their strategy and the ways they operate. Here are 3 sure ways you can tell a narcissist is trying to manipulate you:

1. Narcissists have a special sense that helps them see other people’s vulnerabilities

Think of it as their 6th sense. Manipulative people are the masters at detecting people’s vulnerability by firstly getting deep under their skin. You won’t be able to feel them, up until the moment they stick a knife in your heart. And they rip your soul open.

One of their easiest catch is emotionally insecure people who are waiting for someone to rescue them from this cruel world. And this where the narcissist is set to attack.

They arrive disguised in the thing you’ve desired the most, that divine, pure-hearted person who you’ve been waiting for your entire life.

They will later merciless use their manipulation tricks on you, and in a blink of an eye, you’ll be trapped in their world without a way out.

It’s most likely you’ve been in a relationship with a narcissistic person, so the most painless way to get out is to cut them off completely by focusing on yourself and your recovery only.

Have the courage to make the step and get the hell out of that toxic relationship. Don’t lose hope. The best is yet to come.

2. No matter how hard you try, you will never be able to please a narcissistic person

Narcissists hold the power of making you feel like you’re never good enough for them, no matter how hard you try. You do anything they demand, and you keep asking for their approval, but there is only disappointment. Every time.

This is the perfect way for them to control you, because as time passes you grow codependent to them.  You begin to feel like you are a classic failure and you don’t even deserve them.

This method is by far the best way for them to exploit your being because whatever they ask from you, you’ll be more than willing to give it to them even if it involves you sacrificing yourself.

Break the never-ending cycle by standing up for yourself. You will not allow them to treat you like a slave. You won’t let them make you feel worthless. You deserve all the beauty in this world.

Now, march out there and take your power back!

3. And once they successfully isolate you from your family and close friends, they will punish you by using the silent treatment

After a certain period in which the narcissist will manage to seduce you with their kind words and fake, angelic personality, they’ll turn into a disastrous creature you’ve never thought existed.

They will start to blame you and the people in your life for every relationship difficulty between you two. The next step will be estranging you from your family and isolating you from your friends, just so they can easily abuse you.

Once you’re left all alone by yourself, they will criticize you and stop talking to you. The silent treatment will be extremely sadistic and damaging for your being, and since you’ll be all alone, they will have the biggest opportunity to defeat you.

This is the moment where you need to detach from them. They won’t let you escape that easy, but you shouldn’t surrender. Get out of there no matter how painful it is. Time will help you heal your wounds, and you’ll be fine. Just be strong, and never give up.

Somewhere out there, behind the horizon, the sun is about to shine for you, again.

By
Stephanie Reeds
you found a man you will love forever

Love. The most compelling force in this world, yet so fragile. It is the state of feeling heavenly “dazed and confused” but at the same time, you feel like you stand your ground firmer than ever.

And you will know deep in your soul when this happens. Your eyes will spark, your smile will glisten, and every little problem you have will magically vanish when you see that special person.

If you are lucky enough and you already found your Prince Charming on the white shiny horse, these are 8 important signs that will show you he’s here to stay and he’ll love you forever.

1. Oh Those Special “4 little words”

“You are the one”. You have finally found your Mr. Right and after a while, he made a strong declaration of his love. You are not dreaming, this is very real! You should probably expect something “shiny” any day now.

2. He Pampers You Like A Princess

One of the signs that you finally come across the right man is their gentle behavior. When your man treats you like the most divine being and keeps you save in his loving embrace, you know you’ve found the real man.

If he is willing to do anything for you in order for you to be happy, he’s definitely the perfect person for you. Hold him tight!

3. He Enjoys Thinking And Planning About Your Future Together

When you notice that he starts using “we” instead of “me”, you know he is head over heels in love with you. He tells you how happy he is since he found you and starts making plans for his future with you.

He talks to you about his future goals just so there’s no obstacle that can influence your relationship.

4. He Looks At You With A Sparkle In His Eyes

Every time he sees you, he looks at you with a twinkle in his eyes. His face lights up and his smile glistens the moment you fall into his arms.

It is as if you two only met yesterday, yet at the same time, it seems like your soul recognizes his soul from a previous life. The fire inside you two burns even brighter than ever. And you know that a connection like that is bound to last forever.

5. He Is Supportive Of Your Dreams

He is your biggest encouragement. He knows all your dreams and passions and supports them 100%. And no matter what happens, he’ll be your shoulder to cry. Because you are the only one that matters to him the most.

6. He Is In Sync With You

Have you ever thought about something and your partner uttered the same thing that was on your mind a minute ago? If the answer is yes, you’re a lucky woman. These types of in intense connections don’t happen every day.

And this does not mean for verbal communication only. You two feel each other’s feelings on a deeper level. You know when something is not quite okay, but your heart sings whenever he is happy. If your man is in in sync with you, he’s the one for you.

7. You Are The First Person He Goes To

You just know that your man will love you endlessly when the first person he calls to tell the news is you. He always comes to you first and asks for your sincere opinion. Because no matter what happens, your words help him the way nothing ever could.

8. You Received Confirmation From Others

His friends and his family told you that he has never been this happy before. They talk about his feelings with you and the fact that you’ve brought him back to life. They keep saying how happy you have made them and that you two are the ultimate match made in heaven.

If you managed to recognize your loved one in this article, share this with him and show him how much you appreciate his presence in your life.You are one fortunate girl, make sure you hold him tight and never lose him.

How My Life Coach Helped Me Start My Life Over

By
Ana Miller

A couple of years ago I turned the big forty (40) and all of a sudden like a ton of bricks everything came crashing down on me. I began to take inventory of my life and it quickly dawned on me how I was completely stuck in a rut.

I had been working at a dead-end job for almost seven years and every day that I went there I became more miserable. My body was completely out of shape where I was thirty pounds overweight. My finances were completely out of order and I had not been in a significant or meaningful relationship in almost six years.

When I woke up on my 40th birthday, as I lay there in bed contemplating my life I knew that if I did not do something sooner or later I would probably enter into a deep depression. As I began to ask around and talk with friends, one of them suggested I see a life coach who specializes in working with women in their forties.

To be totally honest, I dreaded the idea of talking to someone about the intimate details of my life. Even worse, I thought it was really weird to have someone who didn’t know me telling me what I should be doing with my life. But after a couple of weeks of more misery, I knew something had to be done so I finally swallowed my pride and began interviewing potential life coaches.

I finally found a woman who specifically works with women in my situation and as soon as we spoke, something inside me knew that things were going to get better. The first thing she had me do was take a complete inventory of my life. As she began asking me all these hard questions, it was so difficult for me to swallow how bad I actually let my life get.

But after going through this “purging process”, there seemed to be a bit of cathartic experience where I felt a weight be lifted off my shoulders. I feel as though because I was finally aware of everything that was causing my suffering made me feel better as if I was in more control over my life.

The biggest value my life coaching experience gave me was that I stopped playing the victim role and took responsibility for all of the choices and actions I was making. By hitting the restart button on my life, although I had to take two steps back, now I feel as though I am moving forward by leaps and bounds. Once I cleared out all of the clutter and negative emotions I had bottled up, I feel free to be and live the life I have always wanted.

It was definitely a difficult yet humbling experience having to own up and be honest with myself. But I am really glad I did it. Over the last two years, I have learned so much about myself and life and feel empowered because of it.

Using Social Media to Improve Your Company’s Online Reputation

By
Elizabeth Williams

“Social media is something of a double-edged sword. At its best, social media offers unprecedented opportunities for marginalized people to speak and bring much-needed attention to the issues they face. At its worst, social media also offers ‘everyone’ an unprecedented opportunity to share in collective outrage without reflection”. Roxane Gay

Social media can be a nightmare to manage, but can also be a key to creating a better company reputation and make you look better in the eye of customers and potential customers. Well, how do you do this? We take a look at seven ways to improve your company’s online reputation.

1. Encourage Customers to be Talkative about Their Positive Experiences and Reviews

This can be done in a simple and ‘no-pressure’ way, for example, a friendly reminder such as, ‘Did we give you more than you had hoped for today? We’d love you to talk about it!’ This can be placed on a website, at the end of a receipt, or even displayed on a sign in your premises. The sad truth is, that whilst we as humans can be all too quick to share a bad experience we have had, we seem to forget to voice our opinions on good services that we have received. Such an approach is much more effective when it is done before any negative views are shared. In a nutshell, the starting point for encouraging positive sharing, should not be the moment a problem has reared its ugly head! Remember reputation is extremely valuable to an online business.

2. Bond with Customers and Be a Problem-Solver

It should be your aim to leave each and every consumer with the feeling that your company adds value to their lives, bonding and problem-solving play their roles in this pursuit. Large companies are often seen creating specific social media accounts to deal with customer problems. For example, you have a website of open the door to Dance Mat Typing then you need to make a bond with the dance academies or dance tutions and ready to listen to their problems regarding your product. If you want to give your company reputation a positive boost, then showing customers that you genuinely care about them and their needs are absolutely vital.

3. Every Company Has a Story – Make Sure you tell yours!

Content is key to telling your story in a way that consumers can relate to. Rather than painting a perfect, and perhaps not so truthful, the image of your company’s story, don’t be afraid, to be honest, and tell your customers about the ups, downs, highs, and lows that got you to where you are today. Showing the help that your product or service has provided to a specific consumer can also be well worthwhile. Remember, this isn’t an exercise in business jargon and exuberant boasting, instead, it’s a moment to show you are human, to connect with consumers on a personal level, and ultimately to leave the competition in your dust trail.

4. Be Presence-Informed and Lead Conversations Where You Want Them to Go

The worldwide web is always alive with posts, chatter, and communication. Even when you’re not in the process of writing a post about your company, you can be sure there’s a good chance that somebody else is! Remember, staying informed on the negative remarks that people make about your company gives you the opportunity to address your weaknesses and ultimately become a stronger and more reputable business.

The news of a company employee making use of the company’s social media account to make a snide or offensive comment seems to be a common occurrence. Even one of such comments can have your reputation suffering for weeks, if not longer. Of course, not all employee comments are negative, when an employee has something positive to share about the company they should feel welcomed to do so, however, such posting needs to be regulated effectively. Hence be sure to provide your employees with the right platform to share their positive opinions and experiences.

5. Social Media Is A Powerful Tool – Use It!

In the past social media may have served the sole purposes of giving your opinion on a matter, or directing your customers to videos you have posted on YouTube. Now, however, many people are constantly on their social media account, even listing it as their preferred communication method. It’s up to you then, to use the tool effectively! Post useful information and announcements, provide crisis communication responses and generally show the public that you are at the top of your game.

6. Be Socially Strong If You Want To Run With the Pack

Your reputation can be significantly affected by social media, especially considering the fact that Google and Twitter have now re-established their agreement that Tweets can show in search engine results. In other words, even a few negative tweets about your company could be the first thing in sight when a potential customer searches online for your company. In addition, social media posts are being picked upon by news media more and more. So never be deceived into thinking that the posts you put on social media are only going to be seen by a few sets of eyes; everyone has the potential to see the posts and dependent on their content they will form either a negative or a positive view of your company, your reputation, and your story.

Meanwhile, online reputation through social media has become an emerging fashion for all sectors that are on the path of success, you can be assured of earning the profits that go with it by getting your industry into social media. This is a brilliant prospect for you not to pass up.

“Social media requires that business leaders start thinking like small-town shop owners. This means taking the long view and avoiding short-term benchmarks to gauge progress. It means allowing the personality, heart, and soul of the people who run all levels of the business to show”. Gary Vaynerchuk

8 Signs That He’s Not Chasing You – He’s Playing You

By
Elizabeth Williams
How to Stay Humble

Liking someone can make such fools of us, that in all that excitement we forget where exactly we’re standing with that person. We start giving our best, we may even seem a bit too involved in what both need to be, but we aren’t receiving the proper feedback.

The thing is, we’ve all been there, and you might be there right now. You get to meet this guy you really like, you date, and then it kind of feels like he won’t go further. Instinctively, we know when someone’s into us, but our wish for that person to be into us when he’s not, well that’s what makes fools of us.

The worst scenario, in this case, would be that this guy, who showed great interest in you, suddenly disappears – and then pops in just to keep you hooked before disappearing again.

This is what dating expert Matthew Hussey calls the Minimum Possible Investment (MPI) guy. It’s where he’s playing you, stringing you along, and does what needs to be done to make sure you don’t forget him.

“This is the man who comes in strong, shows lots of interest, and then disappears. Except, he doesn’t quite disappear. He still pops up now and again with an intermittent text at random intervals to make sure that you cannot forget him. It’s the minimum possible investment he can give to keep you hanging on,” explains Hussey.

The MPI guy is the one that is not chasing you but rather playing you. And here are 8 telltale signs that you might be losing your time with such a guy.

1. You’re the only one who suggests getting together

Ask yourself: whose idea was it to go out? If the answer is 90% you, then you’re in for a really big red flag.

The guy who is really interested in you won’t wait for you to suggest and schedule all the dates. In your case, it seems like you’re the one chasing after him, and he consents only for the time being.

Why not give him the chance to initiate a date and see what happens? If he’s nowhere to be found, you’re dealing with an MPI guy.

2. He’s never bought you dinner

If you’re looking for something real, be a bit old-fashioned. Wait for him to show you that he is really interested in you, and don’t run off to bed with him until he’s shown that he first wants to be with you, not just in you.

The thing is, going on actual dates is a priority in a normal relationship. If splitting the bill for the pizza he ordered was the closest to having a meal together, then run away, unless you know, you just want to do the nasty with him. He’s not going anywhere past that.

3. He only texts for a hookup

Speaking of which, yes. That ‘What’s up?’ after 10 pm is not an invitation to a ball. If he does that regularly after a certain time of the night, you know what he wants. The question is whether you’re ready to be his second string and be as unattached as he is. If you can take it and not fall into some fantasies about you two, then sure thing, it’s your life.

Otherwise, you don’t need that kind of guy.

4. You’ve never met his friends

If he took you seriously, he would’ve introduced you to his friends. But if you have no idea who they are, how can you know who you’re dating? If it hasn’t felt awkward to you, it’s because you were either too much into him to notice this major flaw in your ‘relationship,’ or you were simply happy with what you get because you like him so much.

Either way, don’t dream big with a man like that because you’re not going anywhere further than the bed.

5. He looks like a total slob when with you

Does he care how he looks when he meets you? You might find it cute that he’s that comfortable with you, and you might even get that wrong illusion that he’s just being open and free to be himself around you.

But no, if a guy likes you, he’ll make sure he’s nice, neat, and clean before he meets you. Really, if you could tidy up and put on some makeup, fix your hair, and all that, then what excuses him from doing the same?

No matter how harsh this may sound, it’s because he considers you an easy target and doesn’t think that you deserve too much of an investment. Respect yourself more, girl.

6. You feel like he couldn’t care less about you

And how can you not? Everything is about him – the nights you see each other because he was in the mood (compared to you being always in the mood); the conversations which gravitate around him and himself; you name it.

When you get to say something, he is likely to tune out and you notice only when there’s something he didn’t remember. You’re too much into him, and he doesn’t show any interest in you.

7. You’re constantly nervous about the relationship

Your gut feels like it’s being wrenched and instead of butterflies you often get those nasty needles that scream “Something’s terribly wrong!” It is – trust yourself. Don’t get carried away in fantasies where there’s very little to fantasize about.

Yes, it would be great to be with him, but you can’t carry the load of what you want to call a ‘relationship’ when the guy simply doesn’t have anything of the sorts in mind.

You know that he’ll quickly disappear when his needs are satisfied and that he’ll switch the button to ‘OFF’ when he’s not in the mood for you.

8. You feel terrible about yourself

These guys are masters at eroding your self-esteem. You have no idea where you’re standing with him and you don’t know what else you can do about the two of you, and that makes you feel so bad about yourself.

You may think that you’re not doing enough to gain his attention, or that you’re not worth his attention. But that’s not true: he’s not worth your attention. MPI guys are utterly immature and irresponsible, and there’s very little you can do about it.

The best thing you can do about this kind of relationship is to let go of him. It’s not working out and you know it. There are so many good guys out there that deserve your attention, and you give full credit to the worst type.

You can do better than allowing him to humiliate you in such a way. Simply move on and let him know that that’s as far as you go.

11 Things Every Strong Woman Stopped Giving A F*ck About A Long Time Ago

By
Stephanie Reeds

This freaking rollercoaster of life won’t ever stop giving us nasty curves. It’s the way it is designed. Always here to throw us off balance and surprise us, life can be pretty hard. However, only a few of us out there have learned the art of not giving an actual f*ck.

To be honest, it’s not like life gave us an option. At some point (basically when the last drop made the glass overflow), you reach a stage when even if you tried, you couldn’t care less about some things that once caused you horrible headaches.

You are done pretending to be the fairy godmother to people who don’t deserve, you stop making people’s wishes come true on your account, you stop caring what others think. You quit it all together. Because you’ve realized that life is too short. If you ask me, too damn short to waste it on binge worrying.

So, if you too are sharing the same opinion and feel like you need to make some serious change in order to find happiness within yourself, you need to definitely stop giving a f*ck about:

1. Who you sleep with

The things you like to do between the sheets and the people you do it with is nobody’s concern but yours. Live your life the way you intend to and never give those greedy scavengers the pleasure they want.

2. The way you dress

Don’t you ever let anyone tell you “Are you actually going to wear this?”. You are free to rock your mom jeans whenever you feel like it, those short miniskirts that make your legs sexy or the oversized granny-sweater that you just looove.

Who says you need to follow the trends? Be comfortable in your own skin even if you go out wearing your PJs.

3. Other people’s opinions about you

Stop beating yourself over someone’s opinion about you. People will always be mean, and they will never stop judging you.

So, the minute someone projects their hate on you, remember the golden truth: “What Susie says of Sally says more of Susie than of Sally.” Live it. Learn it.

4. What your ex is doing

He’s in the past for a reason. So, if you plan on getting on with your life and focusing on being happy, you need to let it go.

5. Trying to fit in everywhere

Some people waste their whole lives trying to fit in the crowd without realizing that they might actually be unique and unfitting. And I mean it in a positive way. Why would you want to be just another sheep among millions of sheep?

6. Having the “perfect body”

Okay, we all dream about the perfectly shaped smoking-hot bod. But, you need to stop obsessing about losing weight by starving yourself. It’s not healthy and won’t make you happier. ENJOY your individuality and your perfect shape. You are beautiful!

7. Toxic people that don’t deserve to be a part of your life

When that last drop makes the glass overflow, you need to brace yourself and take control of your life. Learn to cut off those greedy vampires from your life. Stop tolerating their drama altogether.

Protect your wellbeing from harm. Don’t be afraid to stand alone. After all, who needs people who’ll only be around while you are useful to them?

8. What people post on social media

This one takes the cake on the list no-f*cks-given. Since the World Wide Web is kind of everybody’s best friend nowadays, you are familiar that there are all kinds people. From extremely ignorant to exceptionally edgy humans.

So, do yourself a favor and just ignore the hell out of these people. On the other hand, there’s also the unfollow button. Just saying…

9. Your past mistakes

There is nothing you can possibly do to change the events that already occurred and the chances that already passed you by. Don’t regret your wrong-doings. If it weren’t for them, you might not even be here.

10. The future

The same as the past, there is no legit way to find out what your future is going to be like (I don’t consider oracles to be legit, so, sue me) and there is no need to do it either. You just focus on achieving the best in this moment, and everything else will take care of itself.

11. Everything else that you won’t be able to control

Seriously, stop stressing over the things you clearly can’t control. Whether it’s someone’s personality, their opinions, the weather, growing old, gas prices, taxes, what others think of you. It can go on for miles. You name it.

The only things you can control is your reaction to everything that happens to you. You can control your attitude and you can decide what are you going to do about a certain situation.

If you manage to do so, believe me, you’re going places. True happiness comes only from within, so try hard and do your best to reach for it.

If A Man Does These 5 Things, Be Careful – He Is An Emotional Psychopath!

By
Mary Wright

Abuse can come in many ways and forms. It can be physical, sexual, or emotional. And while the first two types of abuse can leave scars on the skin, the last one leaves invisible scars on the soul.

And it can be really hard for us women to spot an emotional abuser, especially when we are in love with him. Because love shatters all logic.

So, here are 5 common things that reveal you are dealing with an emotional manipulator. If your man does some of them – run as fast as you can!

1. HE GASLIGHTS YOU.

Emotional psychopaths or maniacs are masters in the technique of gaslighting. They are so good that they can make you doubt your memory or even your sanity. For instance, if you were to find that he cheated on you, he will immediately make you feel like you are the unethical one for invading his privacy and checking him out because you don’t believe him.

2. WHATEVER HAPPENS, IT’S YOUR MISTAKE.

Maybe this point looks similar to the first one, but they are actually different. This is when the man blames you for whatever happens in his life as well as in your relationship. If he is failing at work, it is because you are stressing him out. If he did something bad, it is because you made him angry.

3. HE MAKES YOU CRY.

An emotional psychopath can ruin your self-esteem and confidence. He can even “hypnotize” you into thinking that you are unworthy of him and that you are the luckiest person alive because he still chooses to love you after all your flaws. This emotional abuse is so subtle that you won’t even notice it until you start feeling so drained and powerless and you are literally depending on him.

4. HE TAKES AWAY EVERYTHING ELSE FROM YOU.

He will slowly start distancing you from people who love you and who want the best for you because he is scared that your friends will see through his mask of a loving boyfriend and his game would be ruined. So, he will emotionally manipulate and blackmail you to believe that he is the one who loves you the most and that you don’t need anyone else as long as you have him.

5. HE SUCCEEDS IN MAKING YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS AT FAULT.

Emotional manipulators are so cunning that they will make you think that it’s your fault even when it is not. He will most likely say something along the lines of “Hey baby, I don’t like it when we fight, so please stop being so emotional and don’t ruin this evening too.” He will always accuse of being selfish, emotional, or jealous to justify himself and his behavior.

3 Facebook Comment Tricks You Probably Didn’t Know About

By
Elizabeth Williams

Facebook has taken over the world, it seems. So many people like to post statuses about their lives, their achievements, and their special moments, and even more like to react and comment on these posts.

And to spice things up and make it even more fun, Facebook introduced some beautiful visually-stimulating effects to some types of comments. So, next time you want to make a comment worth seeing, here are 3 tricks you could use.

1. Thumbs up

And we’re not talking about the well-known ‘Like’ that we’re so much used to. We’re talking about a shower of thumbs-ups on the screen.

Just type ‘Rad’ and see what happens.

2. Hearts

If you want the screen to burst into hearts in different sizes, and sometimes that’s just the thing you need for that special comment, here’s what you can do:

Type ‘XOXO’ in the comment.

3. Confetti and Balloons

Some moments are worth the celebration, and Facebook can join you in that as well. If you want the screen to be filled with confetti and balloons, type ‘Congrats.’

They say that depending on the color, they bear a different meaning. Pink or blue means that you’re expecting a baby and the color corresponds to the gender of the baby. Yellow means that you aren’t pregnant (which can always change, right?).

7 Foods That Prevent And Fight Cancer – Time To Start Eating Them

7 Foods That Prevent And Fight Cancer

The medical community is constantly trying to find the best way to battle cancer. And while there is a lot of fuss around the possible treatments and their effectiveness, one thing is more important than any of that: prevention.

There are so many foods that literally scream ‘cancer,’ and we still eat them and take our health for granted. However, there are those foods that have the role of preventing cancer and helping in treating it.

Nutritionists and researchers have long analyzed the effectiveness of what foods are good against cancer, and these 7 foods have made it to the top list. You’ll be surprised how commonly accessible they are.

1. Red Wine

Red wine (and not white) has excellent antioxidant properties thanks to the abundance of Resveratrol – a powerful antioxidant which has been found to have anti-cancer properties.

Studies suggest that moderate consumption of red wine, typically defined as one serving of wine per day for women and up to two servings for men, may provide certain cardiovascular benefits due to the presence of polyphenols like resveratrol. These polyphenols have been linked to potential improvements in heart health, including the promotion of healthy blood circulation and the reduction of LDL cholesterol levels. However, it’s important to note that excessive alcohol consumption can have adverse effects on health, so moderation is key when enjoying a serving of wine for potential health benefits.

Pinot Noir and Bordeaux have been shown to contain the highest amounts of Resveratrol. Getting Resveratrol supplements is also a good idea, especially if you don’t drink alcohol. However, a glass of wine a day is your best friend for many things.

2. Dark Chocolate

Another powerful antioxidant, and one that will brighten your day by boosting your serotonin and dopamine levels. Who doesn’t like chocolate? Make sure it’s dark, though. Too much sugar causes the opposite effect and can even contribute to the development of cancer. Also, avoid white chocolate.

3. Coffee

Coffee serves many purposes, from boosting your metabolism to waking you up …and preventing cancer! Research has shown that coffee is good against 10 types of cancer, including brain, colon, breast, and liver cancer. Make sure it’s caffeinated, though, and don’t drink too much of it. 1-2 cups a day is enough.

4. Green Tea

Rich in tannins, antioxidants, and simply a cup full of goodness. Also, the caffeine which we’ve just talked about. Starting your day with a cup of green tea helps in the prevention of cancer and it can actually fight it.

5. Turmeric

This miracle spice is a treasure to have in the house. It’s a super antioxidant and can help you with many health problems, including cancer. You can put it in your food, as it doesn’t have a strong taste, and you can brew tea with it. The options with turmeric are endless, and the benefits are simply miraculous.

6. Blueberries & Raspberries

Besides being delicious, these berries are packed with phytochemicals, which possess the ability to fight cancer. In fact, their dark color is a result of the abundance of phytochemicals. Great antioxidants which are good for reducing oxidative stress and angiogenesis. They have been shown to be most effective in fighting ovarian cancer.

7. Tomatoes

The lycopene in the tomatoes has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer, particularly prostate cancer, by 50%. Lycopene is a powerful anti-cancer agent which obstructs angiogenesis.

You can increase the concentration of lycopene by heating the tomatoes – tomato soup anyone? Add a little turmeric, throw in a dash of Himalayan salt, and you have the perfect meal against cancer.

 

Of course, these foods will help better in cancer prevention rather than cancer treatment. But in either case, their properties can only help. How many of these products do you use every day? Were you aware of their properties?
