personality disorder

Personality disorders are as complex as they are misunderstood; delve into this diagnosis and learn the typical cognitions, behaviors, and inner experience of those inflicted.

How Lonely Are You?
It doesn’t always look like sitting alone in a dark room. Sometimes loneliness is laughing at a joke you didn’t hear just so you seem “part of it.” Sometimes it’s scrolling through your phone at 2 a.m., not because you care about the posts, but because the silence feels heavier than you want to admit.

When a Narcissistic Is Close to Leaving You, How Do You Act?
They don’t just leave you. They unravel you first. A narcissistic partner can be smiling at you one moment and silently planning their exit the next. They won’t slam the door—they’ll slip away emotionally long before their body walks out.

The Hidden Crisis of High-Functioning Depression
Most people imagine depression as visible — someone crying often, unable to get out of bed, withdrawing from the world. But there’s another form that hides in plain sight, often behind a confident smile, a packed calendar, and an impressive résumé. It’s called high-functioning depression, and it’s silently affecting millions.

I Sedated My Self-Hate with Self-Destruction
My mother once told me that I was such a pretty newborn that she felt moved to place a purple flower at the head of my crib. I was taken aback by her words since, to me, she was a woman who wasn’t especially maternal. I’d grown up with a sense of ugliness and felt a mistake.

Why Our Brains Struggle to Forgive AI Mistakes
It’s strange, isn’t it? We forgive people for making mistakes every day — a friend forgets your birthday, a waiter brings the wrong order, your sibling borrows your sweater without asking — yet, when a machine makes an error, something inside us snaps. We don’t just see it as a mistake; we see it as a betrayal. A computer is supposed to be flawless. That’s what we bought into.

"The Mind Beneath the Mirror"
She always said mirrors don’t lie. But Elena knew better. It started on an ordinary Thursday, the kind with stale coffee, buzzing office lights, and the lingering ache of dreams she couldn’t quite remember. She worked as a receptionist in a dental clinic — all “How can I help you?”s and fake smiles. Her world was small, her apartment quiet, and her loneliness loud.

Am I an Empath or the Opposite? A Brain Dissection in Real Time. Content Warning.
Intellect is something that I indeed lack. And so I feel utterly ashamed. It's like a destructive nature that binds me tightly with my idiocy. It is shameful and I find it exhausting. Not like in a subtle way but from deep within. From the very depths of my core . It is shameful, uncouth, and it, without any doubt completely showcases my involuntary degeneration. I sometimes feel desperate, in need of attention, of attachment, of touch, of guilt, of binding, of love, of torture, of whatever I feel like right now.
