Are You a Sigma Male?
In the classic male socio-sexual hierarchy, men are typically categorized into a pyramid structure. At the top are the alphas—super confident, driven, and assertive men who thrive on social attention. Below them are the betas—sensitive, less aggressive individuals. The deltas are the average guys who keep society running smoothly, while the gammas struggle more with social success and are less liked by their peers. At the bottom are the omegas—fun-loving but non-aspirational individuals. However, there's another type of man who doesn’t fit into these traditional archetypes: the sigma male. Sigma males are considered the rarest type of men and stand apart from the conventional hierarchy. Here’s how to tell if you’re a sigma male.

Mastering Mind Control
Research into human behavior reveals that first impressions are made incredibly quickly—often within a tenth of a second. These initial judgments are based predominantly on non-verbal cues, such as body language and facial expressions, rather than the spoken word. While it is commonly believed that our verbal communication is crucial, psychologists estimate that only about 7% of communication is conveyed through actual words. The remaining 93% is expressed through non-verbal signals, including gestures, posture, eye contact, and vocal tone. These non-verbal cues provide a more nuanced understanding of an individual’s emotional state, personality, and intentions. This process is closely related to the concept of dark psychology, which involves understanding and manipulating psychological principles to influence and control others. The rapid, subconscious evaluation of these cues can significantly impact our interactions and judgments about others, sometimes exploiting their vulnerabilities through dark psychological tactics.

IT's a Mental Trap
In our thoughts, we find something powerful—the nature of positivity and its profound impact on our well-being. Positive thoughts have a unique quality; they protect us from the traps of obsession. Unlike negative thoughts, which multiply and entangle us in despair, positive thinking remains steadfast and content. It's undeniable that our minds, as the architects of our experiences, have an immense influence on our physical selves. A flow of energy courses through us, and negative thoughts disrupt this harmony, causing internal blockages.

On Sunday I Teetered on The Deep End Drop-Off
When I commit, I commit hard. Like cement. I am THERE. My husband's wedding band has one of my favorite songs : 'All The Way'. I fell in love with the movie 'Joker's Wild' and Sinatra crooning it way before I knew who he was, way before I knew the dark side of the story.

Re-Introducing Myself
I am a mother of two happy, healthy, and adorable children who happens to also have schizophrenia. I enjoy writing and enjoy to write about motherhood, mental health, religious views, and other random “adulting” subjects here on this blog as well as publishing books on the subject (Whispers of Strength, Whispers of Prayer) and publishing science fiction books: (Time In Space, Return to Space). I hope and pray that I can make a difference in the views of others who seem to agree with all of the articles in a Google search engine that talk about how horrible it is to know or be a schizophrenic – let alone have one be a mother.
