Seeing Yourself in Others: The Power of Self-Awareness
Have you ever felt inexplicably irritated by someone talking loudly on public transport, secretly annoyed by a friend posting about their perfect life, or uneasy around a colleague who dominates conversations? We often believe these emotions stem from others’ actions, but psychology suggests otherwise. The traits that trigger us in others may actually be unacknowledged parts of ourselves.

Not long ago, a friend confided in me a tale that borders on the miraculous: a soul burdened by three long years of depression found sudden reprieve at the unlikely hands of a tiger.

The timeless fall. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Part 1 the first day I never played World of Warcraft—until I met Archie. I met him on my first day moving into university dorms. We’d been assigned to the same room. As a local, the endless summer holidays had left me restless, so I’d dragged my oversized suitcase—packed with every university essential I could think of—to campus at dawn. I was certain I’d be the first to arrive. But when I pushed open the dorm door, Archie gave me my first real shock of university life.

How to Win People Over Without Pleasing
American psychologist William James once said, “The deepest human need is the desire to be affirmed.” Many people mistakenly believe that to win others’ favor or influence their behavior, they must lower their guard and constantly appease others.

When Someone with Depression Says These 4 Things, Don’t Ignore Them
In Australia, where open landscapes and blue skies often symbolize freedom and vitality, mental health struggles can still feel isolating. Depression is more than just sadness—it can make everyday life feel exhausting and meaningless. If someone around you frequently says the following four phrases, don’t assume they’re joking or being dramatic. These words often reflect a deeper struggle that deserves serious attention.

The term in psychology is called the Aronson Effect
Psychologist Elliot Aronson once said, “People don’t enjoy the reward itself, but the feeling of the reward increasing.” • Some people shower their partner with care and attention when they’re in love, but once married, they neglect their home and ignore their sick wife.
