How do movies and television influence our perception of love?

I’m a 90s girl who grew up with Disney. I think that’s the case for many women our age, but for me, I realized that it completely influenced my view of romantic relationships: at 34 years old, I still feel like I’m waiting for my prince charming... Yes, cultural works like movies, and more broadly, television, can greatly influence our perception of relationships. Let me explain.

The Importance of Solitude in Personal Development

I love being alone, but for a long time, I avoided solitude. In fact, I enjoy doing my own little things, but I also love having a partner and friends to see. So, when I was single and distant from my friends, it really weighed on me. That period taught me how to embrace the kind of solitude we don't choose, and it was very beneficial for me. What do I mean by that? Why is solitude important? Now that I understand its value, I want to share my experience with you.

The Psychological Effects Of Seasonal Changes On Couples

I believe that every time I went through a breakup, it was during the winter. The change of seasons impacts our mood, our interactions, and therefore our romantic relationships, as highlighted by clinical psychologist Sarah Whitman. So, let's take a look at how each season can affect couples, to better prepare ourselves.

How Does The Fear Of The Unknown Dictate Our Choices And Paralyze

For a long time, I did nothing because I was afraid of the unknown. It's true that it's common to feel apprehensive about things we don't know or understand. This fear paralyzes us and too often dictates our choices... But why? What impact does this fear have on our lives? Now that I've overcome it, I want to share my experience with you.

The 4 Main Causes Of Unhappiness At Work

Work is a priority for most of us, so much so that we’re sometimes prepared to accept anything. We cling to a job for fear of losing it, sometimes even if it means suffering a thousand ills rather than being unemployed. Whether in small or large companies, office life can sometimes be a very bad experience for employees and can even be the cause of “officephobia”. But how can we detect the real causes of this unhappiness at work?

Professional Recognition

When I was still a student doing an internship, I will always remember something my manager told me: “At work, you don’t need your boss’s recognition. As long as they pay you, it means you’re doing your job well, and you don’t need anything else.” At the time, this sentence made complete sense to me. Several years later, I’ve experienced a boss who paid me but who also spent all day humiliating me, putting me down and yelling at me… I understood that a salary wasn’t enough. Professional recognition is an essential part of life and well-being at work.

10 Quotes About Freedom, Because We Sure Need It!

Ah, freedom, there's nothing quite like it. We have all learned how precious it is during these last months with the Covid-19 pandemic. Many of our liberties have been challenged, especially when it comes to moving around and traveling. To go where we want, when we want, is fundamental, but so is being able to make the choices for ourselves. A life without these privileges would be much less exciting! So, to remember the importance of freedom, here are 10 quotes to keep in mind.

Is Working With Your Partner A Good Or Bad Idea?

Sharing everything with your partner is a sign of a healthy relationship for some people, even when it comes to working. However, that being said, for others, working with their partner just seems like a bad idea and the perfect recipe for tension. Do we need to separate our personal and professional lives, or is it okay to blur the lines and mix everything? After all, what could do wrong? Find out how to cope when your significant other is also your coworker!

I Hate Animals, But Does That Make Me Cruel?

How cute is this little dog / this little cat… Certainly in pictures, but much less so on my lap! I try to get away from animals more than I love them. Those who judge me to be cruel don’t think about the inconvenience of having an animal at home or the fear I might feel. I really don’t like animals, I’m even afraid of them, but where does this phobia come from? Let’s take a look.

What A Superiority Complex Means And What It Affects

The superiority complex definition refers to a person who seems to believe that they are better than everyone else. These people often talk about themselves in glowing terms and choose to make fun of those they believe are less worthy of them. They also try to take over and always seem to judge things as being beneath them. Although these folks may seem confident, they are in fact cruelly lacking in self-esteem. On that note, welcome to the paradox of the superiority complex, which ironically in 90% of cases hides an inferiority complex!
