The Last Stone Age Tribe in World
In November 2018, John Allen Chau, a 26-year-old American missionary, decided to go to India's North Sentinel Island illegally. The natives of this island are believed to be a part of the North Sentinelese tribe. And they might be the world's last uncontacted tribe. It means that they know nearly nothing about the rest of the world. John was a Christian and was so obsessed with his religion, that he wanted to teach Christianity to the people living on this island. He went to a nearby island and bribed a fisherman with ₹25,000 and convinced the fisherman to drop him off at the island. They begin the journey on the night of 14th November 2018, hiding from the coast guards in the darkness. He was carrying his GoPro camera, some scissors, a kayak for the remaining journey, some dried fish, a football, and a Bible which he had hoped to give them as a gift. On the morning of 15th November, as soon as they reach the island, he tells the local fisherman to wait at a distance, and goes closer to the island alone on his kayak. He spots some houses and heard women talking, he prepared to park his kayak on the beach, when he spotted 2 Sentinelese men carrying bows and arrows approaching him He greets them by saying, "My name is John, I love you, and Jesus loves you. Jesus Christ gave me the authority to come here to you. Here is some fish for you." The 2 men place their arrows in the bow, and get ready to shoot at him. Panicking, John turns around to leave. Some hours later, he tried again.

What are some dangerous psychological tricks?
According to psychologists, one of the first warning signs in any relationship, is that if someone spends too much time talking only about themselves and not about you, they’re possibly narcissists—only loving themselves and not you. Staying with them any longer may just degenerate into further grief on your part.

Is growing up as awful as it seems?
Yes and no. So I am probably what you would consider an old (early 40s) and yes growing up is absolutely awful it really is. You know I think every kid thanks to themselves when I become an adult I'm going to do whatever I want I'm grown no one's going to tell me what to do and then when you become an adult that does not happen. So maybe by that time you're no longer living with your parents although given the state of rent prices in this country a lot of adult children end up moving back home but even not including that your life constantly feels like it is controlled by others. If you are working for someone else you are having to give a great chunk of your time at least 8 hours a day 5 days a week probably doing work that you absolutely hate doing just so you can be told when you can take a lunch break when you can take a cigarette break and when you can leave for the day. And adding further insult to injury your pay is insulting because it's not even covering basic needs such as rent food utilities Child Care etc. There is a likelihood that if you are living alone by this time you will probably have roommates and God help you if they are horrible because then you have to contend with other assholes that either or obnoxious or they don't want to pay their share of the rent or they make too much noise that sort of thing. If you are in a relationship that may be even extra stress for you especially if that other person does not really have the same values that you do and if you two are not communicating if there isn't that mutual respect and understanding and care and concern for each other you're going to have a lot of problems. Same thing with your friends once you become an adult. Hopefully, you will have good people in your life that you can bond with that really care about you and you care about them and you're both contributing to each other's peace as opposed to contributing to each other's stress. So because adults have to invest so much of their time working and meeting the basic needs they don't have as much time as they would like to rest take on hobbies go for a walk enjoy conversations with people that they care about just to be able to do those things that make life beautiful.

How does the narcissist really feel about you?
They might act like they hate you and have no interest in you or anything you are doing. Deep down they love the way you look, they love your personality, they love everything about you. The problem is when they realize that these qualities cannot be theirs. Their love for you soon turns to hate and anger because they cannot be like you, they cannot do what you do or have done. They become envious of the attention and admiration you are receiving just from being you. If they cannot have these qualities which you possess, they will do whatever they can to destroy them. They will try to destroy you as a person. They will redefine you and rewrite your past. They use gas-lighting to make you doubt your own eyes, ears, and brain. They abuse you psychologically, emotionally, and sometimes even physically. This is all because they loved your qualities and you as a person so much. But then realized that your qualities could not be theirs, so now they want to destroy your qualities and you.
