We all want to be respected and appreciated. It’s only human nature. However, let’s be real, although we all deserve it, respect is usually something you have to earn, it’s not something people give you automatically. And you earn it through your social habits and how you decide to behave around others. If we observe those who tend to be respected by others, we will notice they tend to have in common the following qualities....

The first flush of a relationship can be heady. The attraction, infatuation, and fascination with someone else can be a powerful, even overpowering, combination. It’s natural to be a little obsessive at the start. Those churning hormones can be accompanied by obsessive thoughts as you become preoccupied with the object of your desires. Relationships can’t stay in that heightened state forever. At least, they’re not supposed to. In adult relationships, work still needs to be done, responsibilities need to be taken care of, the house needs to be cleaned, and the dog has to be walked....

When it comes to dating and relationships, I’ve noticed some guys tend to spend a lot of time and energy wondering if a girl likes them back. I have to admit that some women can be enigmatic. And many times this happens when they don’t want to hurt a man’s feelings or are simply being polite....

Because our understanding of sexuality keeps expanding, so do the definitions. Sexuality isn’t just a spectrum between gay and straight. There’s an entire world, a whole rainbow if you will, of sexuality types along that spectrum up to and including asexuality. The abbreviation LGBTQIA keeps expanding, which is why many people abbreviate it to LGBTQ+. It stands for the following: Lesbian — a woman who is romantically and sexually attracted to other women,Gay — a person who is romantically and sexually attracted to the same gender (any gender can use this designation),Bisexual — often shortened to “bi”, a person who is romantically and sexually attracted to more than one gender,Transgender—often shortened to “trans”, a person whose gender identity is different from what they were assigned at birth (not a sexual orientation designation; transgender individuals can identify as any sexuality including straight),Queer—a term that can encompass any sexual identity other than straight (any gender can use this designation),Intersex—a person who is born with more than one sex trait or reproductive anatomy,Asexual—often shortened to “aces”, a person who has little or no sexual attraction to others,+- This symbol is an umbrella term that can include pansexual, demisexual, or questioning individuals,Pansexual- often shortened to “pan”, a person who is attracted to anyone but does not recognize gender,Demisexual- often shortened to “demi”, a person who only feels sexual attraction to people they’ve bonded with,Recently, the plus expanded to include omnisexuals....

In particular, we will cover six signs you have found a good partner you can share your life with. We all deserve love, right? However, it’s not always easy. In fact, as N.R. Hart said: Love is not something you find around the corner the day you wake up and decide you want it. Sometimes you believe you have found the person of your dreams, only to realize months later they’re not the right person for you....

When you’re in love with someone, you tend to ignore the red flags. If you find your physical, emotional, or mental health affected due to your boyfriend’s behavior, it could be a big red flag, says Dr. Kristen Fuller. Most of the time, your partner isn’t aware of their toxic behavior, but it might harm your mental health anyway. A few days back, I had a reunion with my college friends and the story of our past relationships came up....

There is no hidden agenda behind their actions, and this is why we tend to trust them. Usually, they’re the ones who stick around, even when they don’t need anything from you. They’re the ones who whisper you have something on your face and help you clean it off. And they’re the ones who have the guts to tell you your “best friend” is talking behind your back. You know they’d never use you....

Have you ever felt one of your friends was not being genuine with you? If you have, you probably know what I’m talking about. Usually, when this happens it’s because that friend is displaying certain behaviors that make us feel uncomfortable — and, as Liane Holliday Willey Ed.D. explains in Psychology Today, sometimes it can even harm our confidence. Some of these behaviors are subtle, some others are more explicit....

However, some people are habitually negative and pessimistic. As Bree Maloney mentions, negativity is often a product of depression, insecurity, or bad experiences. It can stem from illness, limiting beliefs, life events, and personality problems. As many other things in life, negativity can become a habit. Not to mention, it can be highly contagious. This is why it’s essential to know how to identify people with a negative mindset. Not necessarily to stay away from them — as that’s not always possible — but to give less importance to their words and not let them influence your thoughts....

It’s so easy to talk about red flags in men. They aren’t emotionally available, or they’re commitment-avoidant. You probably thought of at least one right off the top of your head. But red flags aren’t gender-specific, are they? Anyone can have them. In fact, we all have something that someone else might consider to be a deal breaking trait. For them, that thing about us is a red flag. Yet, we might not even call it problematic....

What follows are some easy tips on how to make friends and improve your relationships....

The empath life is not for the faint of heart. In fact, it’s often all heart with the overwhelming emotions that come with the experience of being highly sensitive to everyone and everything around you. You don’t have an off switch, so you’re on all the time — constantly reading the room. We know there are different types of empaths. I’ve written about dark empaths, intuitive empaths, sigma empaths, and heyoka empaths....

Until we get to know what real love is, we tend to mistake it with other types of relationships: abusive, toxic, fake, and so on. My girlfriend has shown me multiple times what real, healthy love is supposed to look like. It’s just like writing this article: it looks effortless on the outside, but it takes work. Both partners have to be willing to overcome fears, step out of their comfort zones, and learn about the best way to treat one another....

It’s not always easy to understand if a guy is genuinely into you. Especially if he’s shy. However, there are a few clues that can help you understand if a guy is genuinely into you – yes, even if he’s painfully shy. While going through this article remember the following. One sign alone doesn’t necessarily mean a guy is into you. However, if you see all the following signs — or almost all of them — it’s very likely that he likes you and is simply scared to say it directly....
