How To Fall Asleep In 2 Minutes?
This is how your night goes if you're anything like me. You clean your teeth, put on your Zelda-themed pajamas, cuddle up in bed, turn down the lights after a long day, and then... nothing. Not the nice sort of nothing, like at the moment when I felt like I would die if I didn't get into bed, and now that I'm right here, fully awake. You attempt to close your eyes more tightly, or is it that I'm not in a posture that seems good for you? Yes, that should fix it! However, no.

Coping with Narcissism
Long before the advent of selfies, the ancient Greeks and Romans had a myth about someone excessively obsessed with his own image. This myth was about Narcissus, a handsome young man who wandered the world in search of someone to love. After rejecting a nymph named Echo, Narcissus caught a glimpse of his own reflection in a river and fell in love with it. Unable to tear himself away from his reflection, he eventually drowned. A flower, which we now call the narcissus, marked the spot where he died. This myth captures the essence of narcissism: elevated and sometimes detrimental self-involvement.

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.
