5 Reasons Why It’s Hard to Forgive People

Starting from a young age, we’re taught to forgive people because it’s “the right thing to do.” Yet, why is it so hard for us to do? Sometimes, what is right can also be the most difficult. We don’t expect it to get easier over time, but we’d like to offer our insights that may help shed light on something that could’ve been missed. Psych2Go shares with you 5 reasons why it’s hard to forgive people:

1. Language gives us the ability to hold onto memories longer.

According to physicist and software engineer Frank Heile, forgiving is difficult because the human consciousness has a hard time living in the present. Heile states that with language intertwined in the human consciousness, we use it as a time machine to roam in our memories. Although meditation is a way to empty unwanted thoughts that weigh us down, it is language that distracts us. When we think about…

5 Things an Introvert Needs to Be Happy

Introverts and extroverts are different. What an extrovert really enjoys, an introvert can loathe and vice versa. Because introverts find socialising very exhausting, it’s important that their downtime is spent doing things that maximises their happiness but doesn’t zap energy. Unfortunately, us introvertscan’t just lock ourselves away and never socialise again to ensure we’re always functioning at 100%. Socialising and meeting people is a given of everyday life, and something that we have to learn to cope with.

This is why it’s so important to ensure that we have a solid amount of time recharging our batteries, and making sure that we feel as close to 100% as possible. This means that when the time comes to venture out of the house, weare armed with a full battery and are in a great mood. So for any introverts out there struggling, Psych2Go shares 5 things an introvert needs to be happy.

1) Understanding Friends

Sometimes, as an introvert, there are times when you’re invited somewhere and at the time you’ll think, ‘yeah, that sounds amazing count me in!’. But in reality, when that time actually comes along you’d rather stick a fork in your eye than attend. Maybe you’ve had a really busy week or were out the night before, but you really don’t want to go…

Gentle reminder that often creativity decides to hibernate for a bit.

It’s okay.  You’re not broken, you’re resting, and much like spring, creativity comes back.

Sinking

Everyday the trust sinks deeper and deeper to a place of no return. Everytime I look into you’re eyes I can’t help to think about that night you slept as I laid next to you with watery eyes fighting each tear to stay in. The trust that took months to build suddenly vanished. My silence is worst than it has ever been yet you fail to acknowledge it. You think it’s okay , you think we’ll be fine and somehow my silence helps you think that. Little do you know that my silence is what pushes me away. I hope that I can stop from sinking to this forgotten place but as people say only time will tell.

How Conflict Can Actually Make Us Fall More in Love With Our Partner

My ex-husband and I did not fight outwardly. We suffered inwardly. We thought we were good parents and spouses because we did not fight.

Are you hurting right now? I’m sorry. Times can get bad. Life can sometimes be down right shitty. Maybe you relapsed for the first time, or even the tenth time. Maybe you had a panic attack and isolated yourself from friends and family today. Maybe you’re someone who thinks they don’t have any friends or family to care about them. For whatever it is you’re going through, I want you to take a deep breath, fuck it, take 5 deep breaths. In through your nose and out through your mouth. Relax. Remain calm. You can do this. Life will go on and you need to be around to see what happens next, okay?

“Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you’ll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won’t matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.”
