Gaslighting: Signs and Tips to Manage
“Gaslighting often involves a loss of personal identity. Over time, you may begin to feel like you’ve changed beyond recognition or become numb and hollow. Living in a constant state of nervousness and worry can leave you with little energy for self-care or your own interests. Yet making time to meet your physical and emotional needs can help you reclaim your energy and hold on to your sense of self. As a result, you may even find it easier to navigate and challenge attempts to gaslight you.”

Does being the oldest or youngest sibling really shape your personality?
Are you a responsible oldest child, an overlooked middle, or a free-wheeling baby? For those who adhere to the theory that birth order influences personality, the answer to that question may hold the key to who you are as a person. At parties, family dinners, and therapy sessions, people can use birth order as a kind of shorthand for personality traits—an only child’s selfishness, perhaps, or a middle child’s struggle for visibility.

‘I’d rather not know’: Why we choose ignorance
“Across the studies, the researchers found that when given an option, 40% of people chose not to learn the consequences of their actions. That willful ignorance was correlated with less altruism: People were 15.6 percentage points more likely to be generous to someone else when they were told the consequences of their choice compared with when they were allowed to remain ignorant.”

Why We Overvalue and Devalue People
“Emotional conditioning by parents creates automatic regimens in how we respond to ourselves and to others in relationships. These knee-jerk reactions take place outside our awareness. Both personalities can show automatic black-and-white responses in the ways they overvalue and devalue people. This can create misunderstandings and conflicts in relationships and harm the way people treat themselves.”

Bullying
Bullying is a complex issue with various underlying causes. People engage in bullying behavior for different reasons, and it’s important to understand that it is not justified or acceptable. Here are some common reasons why individuals may engage in bullying:
1. Power and control: Some people bully others to exert power and control over them. They may feel a sense of superiority by belittling or demeaning others.
2. Insecurity and low self-esteem: Individuals with low self-esteem may bully others as a way to compensate for their own insecurities. By putting others down, they may temporarily feel better about themselves.
3. Peer pressure: In certain social groups, bullying may be perceived as a way to gain acceptance or maintain a certain social status. People may join in or continue bullying behavior to fit in with their peers.
4. Lack of empathy: Some individuals may have difficulty understanding or empathizing with the feelings of others. This lack of empathy can lead to a disregard for the harm they cause through bullying.
5. Learned behavior: Bullying can be learned from observing others, such as family members, friends, or even media influences. If someone grows up in an environment where bullying is normalized or tolerated, they may be more likely to engage in similar behavior.
6. Personal issues or trauma: Individuals who have experienced personal issues or trauma, such as abuse or neglect, may sometimes resort to bullying as a way to cope with their own pain or regain a sense of control.
It’s important to note that these are general reasons and not an exhaustive list. Each bullying situation is unique, and it may involve a combination of factors. Understanding the underlying reasons can help in developing strategies to address and prevent bullying behavior, fostering empathy, and promoting a positive and inclusive environment.
