Lauren Hart - Editor

I have always loved to write, since the dawn of the Internet. For as long as I can remember, I have been blogging about my life, sorrow, and joys. Writing is a beautiful means of expression that I simply canā€™t live without. It has allowed me to channel my hypersensitivity and helps me feel better about myself. After all, understanding yourself is the best way to move forward! šŸ’Ŗ

ā¤ļø Iā€™m a big dreamer who TRIES to accept myself as I am, plus my emotions guide me on a daily basis. Over the years, I have learned to understand what I need to be happy, and I want to help others do the same. After all, why would I keep the secret to happiness for myself?! 

šŸ“– As far as my professional life goes, I have always worked in the editorial world. But I have learned to express myself differently because I am also a professional photographer šŸ“·. That's exactly what I like, being able to juggle and switch between these two worlds.

ā­ My dream of happiness: To feel free in what I do.

ā­ My heroes: All the people who are not afraid and who live their dreams fully!

  • Education: Master's degree in Communication Strategies.

Are Narcissists Born Or Made? - Let's Settle The Debate

There you have it, the nature vs nurture debate is back, only this time I want to focus it on those deviously manipulative personalities we refer to as narcissists. Now, evidently these folks get bad press and rightly so because they are often at the root of plenty of harm, but is it really their fault? Can they really be blamed for their terrifying and perhaps inherent traits, or are they simply just products and in this case victims of their environments? Letā€™s settle this debate once and for all and figure out how and when this disorder becomes apparent. So, are you born a narcissist or is it developed?

Standing Up To A Narcissist Is Possible If You Follow These 9 Steps

If youā€™re anything like me, youā€™re no doubt sick of being manipulated and humiliated by the narcissistic vampires that surround you. Enough is enough! The time has come for you to stand up for yourself! No matter who is making you feel bad about yourself; you need to flip the tables and take back the power. Psychological abuse has deep and lasting impacts, but turning the page and moving on is the healthiest thing any victim can do. Here are 9 essential tips on how you can defend yourself against a narcissistic pervert.

Am I Too Demanding Of My Partner And Too Tough On Him?

Excessive expectations, intense routines and warped images of relationships often make our love stories difficult to manage and maintain. A relationship is one of lifeā€™s greatest balancing acts and requires compromises to be made regularly. In short, one cannot be too demanding or severe with their partner if they want a smooth sailing union. Being so tough is a way of testing our partner's feelings for us, yet this can lead to extremely toxic behavior. Although, thanks to our tips, you'll know how to turn things around.

Female Masturbation

Thatā€™s right, masturbation isnā€™t exclusively reserved for men, and us girls can enjoy the benefits of this practice too. It may seem like a very taboo subject, although over time it is becoming more and more talked about online, but thatā€™s not to say that women feel comfortable with the ideaā€¦ Many women run away from this pleasure and refuse to take care of themselves because they feel a cocktail of shame, fear, and embarrassment. Masturbation is all about self-care and making love to your body, and itā€™s one that no one should feel too guilty to practice.

Who Do Narcissists Target?

If reading up on narcissists terrifies you, you probably already realize how dangerous their toxic personalities can be. Although, that being said, Iā€™m probably going to add to the list of reasons as to why you should be ultra wary of these abusers, by revealing who they prey on. One thing that can be said about narcissists is that they certainly arenā€™t predictable people! šŸ˜± Plus, spoiler alert, they donā€™t necessarily always choose to emotionally abuse seemingly weak people, no, in fact, they often choose bigger fish to fry because they love a challenge. Discover the types of personalities they hone in on and why.

Overinflated Ego

ā€œNo, but in any case, Iā€™m better than you.ā€ Honestly, who likes hearing this kind of sentence? Sometimes, itā€™s not put so bluntly, but clearly, if we read between the lines, thatā€™s what is meant. An overinflated ego is what defines a megalomaniac, along with a need to put yourself before othersā€¦ Dealing with a megalomaniac isnā€™t easy, especially when itā€™s a daily occurrence! So, if you want a peaceful life, discover the true meaning of this disorder, and follow our tips to making this relationship just that little more bearable.

Should You Really Confess Your Feelings?

Who hasnā€™t had a crush in their life? You know, itā€™s when you fall for someone and have feelings for them even though you donā€™t really know them. Iā€™m one of those people who have had lots of crushes, and sometimes Iā€™ve even admitted my feelings. In fact, a recent example was just before I started my relationship with my current partner. I offloaded what I was feeling all of a suddenā€¦ Iā€™ll tell you why I did it and how to go about it.

How Does A Narcissist React When They Can't Control You? 10 Things They Do

You probably know by now that narcissists only ever look for one thing and one thing only; and thatā€™s control! Whether in their personal or professional life, folks with this personality disorder need to be in the driving seat and the one calling the shots, otherwise all hell breaks loose. šŸ˜Ø Although their cunning and manipulative nature means they are often hard to escape, it is still possible to turn the tables on them and take the upper hand. Yet, youā€™ll need a thick skin to do so because when they feel their power slipping away, they become even more dangerous and abusive; hereā€™s how they react when that happens.

I Still Suck My Thumb As An Adult

In general, thumb sucking ends around the age of 6. I say ā€œin generalā€ and not ā€œnormallyā€, because as an adult I donā€™t feel weird or particularly bothered by it. When I get stressed, I allow myself to let go and return to my childhood self by sucking my thumb. Those who know about it or catch me by surprise make me realize I should be ashamedā€¦ But is this habit a big deal? What if it makes me feel better? Itā€™s certainly no worse than lighting up a cigarette or biting your nailsā€¦

Are Narcissists Lonely?

Loneliness is one of societyā€™s biggest enemies, and none of us are exempt from it, not even the most devilish of narcissists out there. In fact, throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, 36% of Americans claimed that they have never felt lonelier, which sets a scary benchmark for the wider population šŸ˜”. Now, lots of us would no doubt immediately assume that narcissists are too independent and strong-willed to feel alone, however, the truth is they are often the biggest victims of loneliness, yet simply have trouble expressing their inner malaise.
