When Winter Teaches Us How to Feel Again. AI-Generated.
December doesn’t arrive loudly. It seeps in. Earlier sunsets after a day of rain. Streets that look familiar but feel emptied of color. The air sharp enough to make you aware of your breath. Winter, more than any other season, doesn’t ask for productivity or performance. It asks for honesty.

The Psychology of Emotional Contagion. AI-Generated.
Walk into a room where tension hangs in the air, and you may feel uneasy before anyone says a word. Enter a space filled with laughter, and your mood often lifts almost instantly. This phenomenon is not coincidence or imagination; it is emotional contagion at work. Emotional contagion is a subcategory of social psychology that explores how emotions transfer from one person to another, often unconsciously. It shapes group dynamics, relationships, workplaces, and even entire societies, influencing how we feel and behave in ways we rarely notice.

Why Your Anxiety Gets Worse at Night & What Helps
If you’ve ever felt perfectly fine during the day but somehow become overwhelmed the moment everything gets quiet at night, you’re not alone. Many people experience this uncomfortable shift — where worries feel louder, the mind refuses to slow down, and small things suddenly seem much bigger than they are.

The Emotional Echo: How Micro-Rejections Shape Our Inner World. AI-Generated.
Most people understand the sting of major rejection. A breakup, a job denial, a falling-out with a friend—these events leave marks that are easy to recognize. But psychology has begun paying increasing attention to something far quieter: micro-rejections. These are small, often fleeting moments of social dismissal that many of us overlook or brush aside. A text left unanswered, a slightly cold tone from someone we care about, a subtle exclusion from a group conversation, a joke that doesn’t land the way we hoped—it’s easy to dismiss these experiences as trivial. Yet they leave emotional echoes that can meaningfully influence our behavior, self-perception, and overall psychological health.

The Quiet Power of Liminal Spaces: How Threshold Moments Shape the Psyche. AI-Generated.
Liminal spaces—moments, states, or environments where we stand between what was and what will be—have long fascinated psychologists, anthropologists, and storytellers alike. They occupy the hazy middle ground between known and unknown, certainty and ambiguity, identity and transformation. In the realm of psychology, liminality falls under the broader category of existential and developmental psychology, but it is a striking subcategory in its own right, touching on identity formation, emotional resilience, and the way we process change throughout our lives.

How To Prove Your Child Is Being Brainwashed?
When a couple divorces or separates, they go through immense grief or trauma. If there are children involved in the mix, it gets even messier. Children do not have the emotional strength compared to adults, and hence they require love and support from both their parents to cope with the big change.

Dialogues Across Time. AI-Generated.
I feel we are at the corner of something revolutionary and yet evolutionarily necessitated. Some psychologists acknowledge only the past century as a time for our field when it has been alive and well, but giving credit to the late Charles Darwin means first acknowledging the agencies that formed out of novel curiosity, which would eventually call the field home. Psychology evolves, sometimes quickly, but the questions at its core remain the same.

The Application That Said No. AI-Generated.
Application rejected. Application rejected. Application rejected. Zara Malik refreshed her email for the hundredth time that day, hoping the words would somehow change. They didn't. Seventy-three job applications in four months. Seventy-three rejections, or worse—silence.
