The Punishing Emotional Blackmailer
Emotional blackmail can happen in a number of different ways. Different abusers have different styles and well as strategies that go with those styles. One of the most blatant styles is that of the Punisher. We are definitely not talking about the avenging comic book character but a type of abuser who uses aggressive anger, fury, and direct threats to invoke the fear, obligation, and guilt of emotional blackmail. This type of emotional blackmailer is the most obvious and easy to spot.

Failing Fast.
“You’re going to fail, so just do it fast” my go to thought when attempting anything new. As a small but very flexible child, my parents naturally put me into gymnastics and cheerleading, and if you know anything about these sports than you know they’re not as easy or pretty as it seems.

Charm(ed.)
The Why Being charming or being delightful is necessary. Being classy and charming allows one to move through social spaces more easily. We all know someone that may not have been qualified for a position but is invited to work on new projects or promoted. Their personalities have won over bosses and supervisors alike. In dating, these are the people that may not have extraordinary features but their ability to groom well and be pleasant partners have landed them into committed relationships. Being charming can be extremely advantageous as it doesn’t involve the genetic lottery or any prerequisites. One can simply decide that today they will be more engaged in other’s thoughts instead of their own, that they will iron their clothes and keep themselves groomed.

The nice guy with no boundaries
In any relationship, boundaries are crucial. Being in a relationship, you need to understand that you are the highest authority to yourself. Healthy boundaries allow yourself to take better care of yourself – emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. I had to learn the hard way when my partner was crossing my boundaries.

Fighting The Bullies
Bullying is hurtful and long lasting. It affects teenagers and adults to a great worrying extent and can happen to anyone. Everyone at a certain time in their life experienced bullying in its different forms and people often feel powerless against it. It all occurred one fortnight ago. I was shaking uncontrollably and stood rooted to the spot. I replied defensively. On that day, I decided to reveal my tormentors’ real faces to my parents. I possess my parents’ innate capacity of memorizing things. I possess my paternal grandparents’ wisdom and I inherited my maternal grandparents’ degree of naughtiness and undetermined mimicries.

How to stay connected during a pandemic
In 2020, the world changed overnight. When the terrible COVID-19 pandemic struck, our way of life changed suddenly and for some, drastically. Many people were unable to keep their jobs or go into work for fear of getting sick or having no one to watch the kids. Schools have chosen to teach remotely and colleges sent their students home. The people who were lucky enough to keep their jobs were mostly stuck working with the public and putting their own safety at risk or told to work from home.

Bullying and Cyberbullying.
Have you ever been bullied or have you ever been the bully? Bullying can occur physically, such as kicking, pushing, punching, etcetera, and verbally, such as name calling or just saying mean things to one another.

So bullying is not only presented an environment with kids or teenagers, but it can also be in work environments, and it is an aggressive behavior that involves a victim and an offender which is repeated several times.
