Grief has a way of breaking down every system we build to keep life predictable. It doesn’t care how prepared you are, how organized your files are, or how well you handled the last crisis. It just hits, quietly at first, then all at once, until your tried-and-true coping strategies start to feel useless. A...

Somehow you became everyone’s therapist. You didn’t apply for the job, there was no salary negotiation, and you’re still waiting on your benefits package. One day you were just sitting there, sipping your tea, and suddenly someone said, “You’re so easy to talk to,” and the next thing you knew, you’d absorbed seventeen people’s traumas,...

The one who makes sure there’s enough toilet paper before you even realize you’re out. The friend who notices your existential...

Let’s just say it: ghosting is awkward. It’s like emotional limbo; one person dangling, the other hiding under a metaphorical blanket muttering, “If I don’t move, maybe they’ll go away.” If you’ve ever been ghosted by an INFP, you probably thought they disappeared because you said something wrong, or because Mercury is in retrograde, or...

Picture this: the leaves outside are catching fire in shades of orange and crimson, the air smells faintly of woodsmoke, and you’re wrapped in a blanket that could double as medieval armor. You’re holding a mug of spiced cider, maybe a square of dark chocolate, and you’re staring down the remote wondering what to watch...

You know that feeling when your brain quietly drops a truth bomb into your lap and then just… walks away? No fanfare, no proof, just a subtle nudge saying, “Hey, this thing you can’t logically explain? Yeah, it’s real.” And you’re left sitting there, blinking into the void, wondering whether you’re a secret oracle or...| Psychology Junkie
