Personality disorders are as complex as they are misunderstood; delve into this diagnosis and learn the typical cognitions, behaviors, and inner experience of those inflicted.
It’s Really Not That Deep
Some days I hate myself for still wanting things I was never built to have. Some days I hate everyone else for having them without trying. I hate their friends. I hate their laughter. I hate birthday parties and inside jokes and photos where nobody is standing slightly outside the circle. I hate how effortless it looks. Like if you asked them how they do it, they’d laugh. Or look at you in that quiet way that makes you wish you hadn’t asked. I know it’s pathetic to resent people for being loved. I know it makes me seem like someone you wouldn’t want to know. I hate that I know that and I still feel it anyway.

...And I'm Back!. Content Warning.
I missed this. I missed this site and this community and I really, really missed writing. My last post was 2 years ago. A lot has happened since then, personally and globally. I’m not an expert on the latter, but I can share with you parts of my story since I was last here.

Inner Child Healing: Release Childhood Trauma and Find Peace. AI-Generated.
Many of us carry echoes from the past that shape our present experiences, often in ways we barely notice. Learning inner child healing allows us to acknowledge these hidden parts of ourselves, release unresolved wounds, and cultivate self-healing practices that foster emotional resilience. Whether trauma shows up as anxiety, difficulty in relationships, or self-doubt, attending to the inner child creates a pathway toward lasting transformation.

The Fragile Nature of Memory: How the Mind Rewrites the Past
We often view memory as a recording device. Something happens, and the brain stores it. Later, we recall it unchanged, like opening a file. Psychology presents a different picture. Memory is not fixed; it is fluid, reconstructive, and surprisingly fragile. One interesting aspect of cognitive psychology is memory reconsolidation, which is the process that alters our memories every time we recall them. This instability is not a flaw; it shows how our minds adapt, protect themselves, and reshape our identity over time.

When Thinking Feels Like Action
There is a particular satisfaction that comes from understanding something clearly after wrestling with it for a long time. The mind settles. Tension releases. Pieces line up. In that moment, it can feel as though real movement has occurred, as though something meaningful has been accomplished. That feeling is not imagined. Cognitive resolution is a real event. The danger appears when that internal resolution is quietly mistaken for external change, and thinking begins to substitute for action rather than prepare the way for it.

“What Changed When I Heard the Words”
The name didn’t suddenly explain everything. It didn’t organize my emotions or make them smaller. But it shifted the way I looked back. Moments I had labeled as overreactions began to take on shape. Patterns I once thought were personal failures revealed themselves as responses I had been navigating without context.

The Call You Don’t Remember Making. AI-Generated.
The phone rang at 3:11 a.m. Not a notification. Not an alarm. A real call. Omar stared at the screen through half-closed eyes. Unknown Number. He almost ignored it—almost—but something about the timing felt deliberate, like the call had waited for him to wake up before ringing.

In the complex tapestry of human relationships, extramarital affairs remain one of the most misunderstood and judged phenomena. While society often views these connections through a lens of morality, there is a profound psychological landscape beneath the surface—particularly for women.
