The "Ego" and How To Kill It
No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell. ~ Carl Jung When referring to the "ego", most people don't consider its Latin origin which is simply "I".

Learned Helplessness and Learned Optimism
Learned helplessness is a phenomenon in which an individual experiences a sense of powerlessness in situations where they have previously been exposed to uncontrollable, negative events. Discovered quite serendipitously, it has since been credited by some scholars as the impetus that resulted in cognitive psychology’s displacement of behaviorism. This phenomenon has since been observed in a wide range of species, including humans, and has been the subject of extensive research in the fields of psychology and neuroscience.

Being in love with Someone who has an addiction
I knew he was using but I didn't know how bad it had gotten. I still see him in my dreams, but it was before it had gotten really bad. I don't want to remember him like that. When we first met he told me falling for him would ruin my life and I laughed. I know what he meant now but he didn't ruin my life. I think he saved it. I wish being in love was enough. I wish it counted for anything at all.

Introverts vs. Extroverts
There's a lot of talk about introverts and extroverts, whether it be personality tests to find out which one you are, or memes about one of the two being better than the other, or articles about 'how to survive' as an introvert in an extroverted world (or vice versa), etc. And while most, if not all, of it is relevant, I'd like to suggest a slight reframing on how we view these concepts. It might be more helpful, in many ways, to view it in terms of energy.

Totally Addicted To Stress
It's no secret that addiction comes in so many forms, whether that’s alcohol, weed, body image, technology, money, sex, or food. The list goes on, but I was totally shocked by the idea that I could be hooked on my own stressful thinking.
