Yet, no one would think of telling a socially gregarious person how to be a bit more reserved. The science behind shyness has revealed that this personality type isn’t entirely down to genetics. In fact, only 30% of shyness is inherited. Researchers have found that environmental factors also play a role. Because shyness is partly inherited and partly developed, it can actually be changed. Is Shyness a Trait That Needs to Be Alleviated?...

The term reactive abuse has recently surfaced in popular media in the case of Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie as well as in the highly publicized Amber Heard and Johnny Depp trial. In both cases, the alleged victims were male, and while it’s not uncommon for men to be abused — in fact, 1 out of 10 men in the United States have been victims of abuse according to the CDC — many victims of domestic violence spoke out to call attention to what reactive abuse is and how to recognize it in relationships....

When we think of highly intelligent people, we tend to imagine someone particularly good with numbers, who can multiply 496758 by 72 in less than ten seconds without using a calculator.

Attachment theory is fascinating. Pioneered by Mary Ainsworth and John Bowlby, the theory suggests that the way we relate to our early caregivers influences our lifelong relationship style. Think about that. The first five years of our lives are so powerful that we carry forward the trust we established with the ones who raised us — or the lack thereof. The implications are enormous. For those who grew up loved, cared for, and with caregivers who readily and consistently responded to their needs, attachment theory offers comfort....

It’s a terrible feeling to know that you’re in a toxic relationship but have no idea how exactly you’re going to get out. People often will tell you just to go — as if it’s ever that easy. You’re not waiting to hit rock bottom; you live at rock bottom. You’re not waiting to reach a breaking point; that point is long gone. You know exactly what you’re dealing with, but you also have to work through all the issues standing between you and that door — issues like attachment, codependence, trauma, and all the other things that keep you from being ready right now to walk out and keep going....

Modern dating comes with plenty of challenges. We’re challenged to choose whether we’ll date online or hazard the potential perils of dating in real life (namely: finding single people in your area we’d actually want to date). If we opt for the online option, we then have to choose which app is best or juggle a variety of them…all for the chance of finding that special someone. That’s just dating....

Even the most evolved of us tend to look at relationships in black and white. We think that we’re the type of person who gets jealous or we’re not, and depending on which side we identify with, we might ignore any emotional experience that falls outside that category. I can say that I’m not a jealous person in general, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t ever experience jealousy....
