@Ishansharma7390 DUDE! STOP BEING A WANNABE! Don’t come to the US, you are better off in India.
So much drama for a bottle of water!?
And who exactly are you? 🤣
@CaesarsPalace ban him!
@WeShallPai@PeterDellaPenna You are getting a night stay included in a 3*hotel that would cost you roughly $2400 that weekend. And two tickets at roughly $375 each, so this sounds like a bargain! 😎
Learning to repair as an adult is one of the most important skills.
It shows we’re accountable and we respect the feelings of those around us.
HOW TO REPAIR:
1. Listen to what someone is saying without getting defensive or deflecting.
2. Notice if something they’re saying is valid or something you didn’t see in yourself.
3. Be empathetic and apologize for hurting them.
This builds trust and emotional intimacy.

As a psychologist, I’m really trying to bring my voice to this.
Over my career, I’ve seen many people with (natural) complex traumatic stress responses from (unnatural) environments. Yet, they’re not taught to understand their behavior as adaptions. Even worse, their trauma is often invalidated. Or told it’s part of a “normal” childhood. Without awareness that what’s normal in culture is highly dysfunctional and sometimes destructive.
It’s clear we are suffering. It’s time to stop pretending and denying.
Complex trauma is not recognized in the diagnostic manual. It’s so important to give people self understanding and hope. To know that there IS healing.
There’s more to life than diagnosing and telling people they have no agency over their lives.
We have a collective issue we don’t talk about.
We have adults who:
-can’t build healthy relationships
-who please so much, they abandon themselves in the process
-who are filled with anger and repressed rage
-who sabotage their partnerships
-who continue to go into cycles of stress and chaos because it’s all they know
-who feel so depressed and overwhelmed for VALID
-who are so hypervigilant and overstimulated they’re stuck in survival mode
Please educate yourself. Advocate for you, your family, and your community’s health. Use the resources in this video (if you’re called) to start your healing process.
May we break the generational cycle.

We all want secure attachment.
And the best part of our attachment patterns is we can shift them. Through self awareness, practice, and healthy communication.
People with secure attachment have 3 core traits:
1. The ability to not take things personally: this gives them space to understand people close to them aren’t attacking them. It also makes it so they can get to self reflection.
2. The ability to self reflect: this is actually more rare than people realize. Those with secure attachment can self reflect. They can ask “is there truth here?” “Is this valid?” If it is, they face it and begin to integrate. Integration is why people with secure attachment patterns tend to grow and evolve more than those with insecure patterns.
3. The ability to be accountable for their impact: if they self reflect and see that someone has a point, they can be accountable. Instead of deflecting or being defensive they can say “I see where you’re coming from” and “I’m sorry and want to do better.” They create a space to have conversations which is why people in their lives feel safe and heard.
All of us can practice these traits. It’s about hearing things in new ways and responding in new ways. You’ll see how differently people engage with us when we’re not trying to defend our self image or deny their reality.
Is there a New York group chat that I can be a part of? A group of people who just meet and chill together? Or can someone please take me in in your existing friend group? FRIENDS I need FRIENDS😩😩😩😩
It's hard to be an average person. You enter the office at 9 am and go back home at 5 pm. Nobody notices you, and when you hop on a bus, nobody offers you a seat.
You buy vegetables and go home, but nobody is excited to welcome you. You eat your food, go back to bed, and check your phone, but you hardly have 4-5 contacts, and no one texts you.
Some people just wait to pass the “finish line,” and after that, they don't want to feel this way again.

30 under 30 and similar lists condition us to think youth and speed are most important. Friendly reminder, you can take a new path at any age. 50 is youthful. The rush to accomplish before you even know who you are is why so many are lost. TAKE YOUR TIME.
@pjsantoro@peachypatients OMG why did you’ll shut down?
As a Sr. Product Designer, I have been following @lexbyanyname and Peachy Patients progress from Day 1. Loved what you’ll did with it! And was hoping to someday be part of the team. :( *sad*
Narcissistic people carry an overwhelming amount of shame. At their core they believe they’re bad or broken. They cope by trying to control people and through a chronic need for adoration or attention.
Choose self awareness. A partner without it will subconsciously hold you responsible for their own insecurities, emotional triggers, and unmet childhood needs.
