Stress in early age
Stress is our body's response to negative situations and real or perceived threats. Sometimes, stress is good. Its main task is to react correctly and quickly to danger. In small quantities, it is normal and even useful. Our body responds to the danger by releasing the hormones adrenaline and cortisol. We go into "Fight or Flight" mode.

Narcissism And Personality Disorders
Are all personality disorders the outcomes of frustrated narcissism? During our formative years (6 months to 6 years old), we are all “narcissists”. Primary Narcissism is a useful and critically important defense mechanism. As the infant separates from his mother and becomes an individual, it is likely to experience great apprehension, fear, and pain. Narcissism shields the child from these negative emotions. By pretending to be omnipotent, the toddler fends off the profound feelings of isolation, unease, pending doom, and helplessness that are attendant on the individuation-separation phase of personal development.

Expectation vs Boundaries
I use to think expectations were a good thing to have, until i got introduced to boundaries. Expectations are our desires we want other people to uphold. But putting our desires into other people's hands and expecting them to bring it into fruition is a recipe for disaster. We are the only ones, that can bring our desires into fruition, and we do that through boundaries and discipline.
