the hijabi thinker

  I have seen so many times people feel bad for individuals who don't have siblings but no one seems to talk about toxic siblings or sibling estrangement. I ALWAYS think about how my life would be if I didn't have any siblings!!!!   I haven't spoken to my brother, let's call him “A”, since march 2020, when we had the worst explosion of argument right in front of our mother,And now neither of us is even interested to talk or try to rebuild the connection  While I have accepted the estrangement in many ways it has brought me a lot of relief.  BUT It also aches, because being a HSP(hyper sensitive person) it's never easy for me to give up on anything. Though it may sound strange, but it is quite common that people choose to stop talking or cutting ties with their siblings While i was trying to read articles and make some sense psychologically as to why this happens, I came across this quote from an interview that said  "You can divorce your sister as well as y...

“If you feel anxiety or depression, you are not in the present. You are either anxiously projecting the future or depressed and stuck in the past. The only thing you have any control over is the present moment; simple breathing exercises can make us calm and present instantly.” ― Tobe Hanson I was talking to my friend earlier and she said,"I always fear about future so much that i am not able to enjoy my present" and that statement made me realize   aren't we all somewhere fearful of what is going to come in our life. Being  depressed about past and anxious about future  is the new normal,isn't it?.  We often think about our "problems"   but we don't realize the actual problem is us and our thinking , our perception. 3 ways to stay in present 1.control over thoughts: I swear half of our issues will be solved if we stopped thinking so much,Sometimes we just need to let go all of it (the hurt, the pain )instead of thinking about it because we hold on to p...

Did you ever meet someone who always thinks that world revolves around them and they can not handle criticism? sounds FAMILIAR??!! this blog will help you understand what and who exactly are a narcissist. before we start I would like to let you know that i am not a psychologist (currently on my way to become one), I have read a lot of articles  WHAT IS NARCISSISM???? Psychologically, Narcissism is defined as "Inflated, grandiose self image" if we break down  and try to understand this what we get : inflated : exaggerated grandiose :an unrealistic sense of superiority  self image: perception of one self (may or may not be true) so now lets frame this definition as a person, when someone thinks they provided 100% and  they are too much to handle, they think they are superior than other person and they don't care about others, basically lack empathy,  but this superiority is just in their mind. This is a serious condition, you may think this is self confidence...
