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 don’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.

It’s certainly no worse than lighting up a cigarette or biting your nails…

Loneliness is one of society’s biggest enemies, and none of us are exempt from it, not even the most devilish of narcissists out there.

Now, lots of us would no doubt immediately assume that narcissists are too independent and strong-willed to feel lonely, however, the truth is they are often the biggest victims of this phenomenon, yet simply have trouble expressing their inner malaise.
