The Psychological Underpinnings of Benevolent Sexism: A Comprehensive Exploration
A recent study by Clever Girl found that "benevolent sexism" (BS) can hurt women in the short and long term. Benevolent sexism is when someone (usually a man) says something that seems supportive and upbeat but is based on traditional gender stereotypes. Unlike hostile sexism or other overt forms of discrimination, it is unique in that it is often used with intentionally positive intentions and is usually interpreted as such by the recipient. For example, Carla and Alex have been anticipating their manager's annual performance reviews.

Dirty Dancing. Content Warning.
This classic movie has not held up to the current times we live in. Like at all. I watched this movie with my partner for Valentine's Day because it was one of my favorite childhood movies while growing up. I remember my mom sitting me down when I was 12 or 13 years old telling me this was a movie for every young girl to watch.

Understanding The Relationship Between Psychoneuroimmunology and Childhood Trauma : Why It Matters
Childhood psychosocial stressors can impact the development of the immune system, which can then affect the development of the brain and its long-term functioning due to the two-way relationship between the immune system and the brain. Psychoneuroimmunology of early-life stress can provide a novel framework for comprehending and treating psychopathology associated with childhood trauma, based on observational human studies and experimental animal models. Remarkably, several incidents involved once-healthy people who became mentally ill despite not having any physical injuries—the so-called "railway spine."

Exploration of the psychological underpinnings of Dark Empaths
Getting Through the Dark: Narcissists vs. Dark Empaths: Understanding, Identifying, and Liberating I have always been fascinated and intrigued by the limitless potential humans hold, which propels us on the path of progression. The odyssey of transforming primitiveness into a touch of modernism is the beauty of the prowess of the human mind. In the vast and complex tapestry that constitutes human relationships, the delicate interplay between these contrasting forces often presents itself as an enigma. Have you ever experienced the captivating yet perplexing dynamics between light and shadow, empathy and narcissism? Within this intricate landscape, dark empaths and narcissists stand out as compelling and enigmatic figures, each characterized by a distinct array of traits and behaviours. On the other hand, susceptible people (HSP), recognized for their deep emotional awareness and sensitivity to the feelings of others, often find themselves traversing the challenging terrain of relationships with these fascinating, yet sometimes troubling, personalities. This journey can be both enlightening and bewildering, as HSPs strive to understand and navigate the emotional landscapes shaped by the contrasting influences of empathy and narcissism.

HOW TO GET YOUR BRAIN TO FOCUS . AI-Generated.
## Escaping the Screen: How Reducing Digital Overstimulation Can Improve Your Life A few years ago, I began to observe something in my own behavior that made me a bit uncomfortable. From the moment I woke up to the end of the day, my life was a series of screens. I started the day with the thing that woke me up first thing in the morning, my phone, and so I sat there in bed watching various cooking videos on Instagram and bouncing around between different applications. When it was time to get out of bed and cook breakfast, my focus shifted to the iPad next to the oven. And when it was time to work, I moved to another screen attached to yet another screen. All the while, my smartwatch would tap and beep, distracting me as I tried to get important stuff done.

Narcissism And Personality Disorders. Content Warning.
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.
