Opinion | Psychology of Unhealthy Relationships Why we stay in our relationships is a trick question. Some stay for love, some for the affection they get from their partner, some merely stay because they do not have anywhere else to go, and some stay for addiction.  Yes. One of the primary reasons most people stay in unhealthy relationships is because they are addicted to the presence of their partners. To understand the psychology of individuals who choose to stay in toxic relationships, knowingly or unknowingly, we must first divulge into  what is an unhealthy relationship ? What are unhealthy relationships? For a general definition, unhealthy relationships are the ones where we are not able to express our real selves to our partner. We tend to hide things, our personality, our needs, our vulnerabilities, and we totally become an entity that would be ‘liked’ by our partner; but most of the time, when we deviate from that happy picture we create for ourselves, al...

Losing a friend is tough. We simply lose touch with our close friends at times for no apparent reason. They come in our life as a breath of fresh air, but they leave with a hole in your life that gets filled up with a new close friend eventually. We must remember that every person we meet is there to accompany us in a specific phase of our life, be it our childhood, our college days, our 20s and 30s, or simply the mom-years. This primarily happens because of a simple reason. We grow up. Our thoughts, beliefs, and purpose in life change over the years and we are never the same people we were five years earlier. With a change in outlook and priorities in life, we slowly drift apart from our connections because we are busy learning new things and making memories with new people. And that’s not a bad thing.   “To make a friend you must close one eye. And to keep a friend, you must close both eyes. “ - Victor Robert Lee Research says that the human brain has a limite...

Every action has an equal reaction. Indulging into the world of social media has its perks, especially in the case of relationships. The positive effects of social media on romantic relationships are often undermined; most couples are so busy doubting their partners and making their lives so complicated, that they often forget how social media can help to strengthen our relationships.  Now, trust issues may crop up if your partner is getting DMs from strangers or if they are investing a substantial amount of time on their social presence, rather than the relationship itself. But such situations vary individually, and the outcome depends on how you handle the situation and come out of it more mature.  Source: https://c7.uihere.com/files/857/708/55/5b96c429afca0.jpg A 2018 study by RMIT University observed social media users based on their Facebook usage. The research concluded how the positive or negative impact of social media in relationships is h...

 We have all been through there and done everything, but apparently, it isn’t a success every time. Relationships are hard work, and honestly, it is like solving a jigsaw where new pieces get added after every round. Like, come on! I just solved it! But here we are, with no form of initial training to be in a relationship (yes, I think there should be one) and still trying to use the trial and error method to maybe, just maybe, meet our prince charming or princess Fiona (let me know what’s your favorite Shrek movie). But like every classic recipe which gets reinvented in some form or the other in every country (yes, pasta and noodles ARE BASICALLY THE SAME), I think our geographical locations play an essential part in determining our approach in any relationship. But the primary things to strive for in a relationship are ALWAYS THE SAME.  Today, we are going to dive into the top 5 things that make a good relationship and what you can do to achieve them.  ...
