lying is the friend of evil How to Stop Lying 10 Steps for Overcoming the Habit of Lying

According to research, disinhibited (or impulsive) and antagonistic (or aggressive) people are more prone to lie than any other group of people.

Yet, it is people with less emotional stability that go on to lie on and on to conceal information or to advance their own interests.

Askophobia: 5 Tips To Overcome Your Fear of Asking For What You Want

by

Do you remember that thing you badly wanted but were too scared to ask for? Perhaps you wanted to ask for a raise, help, or even sex.

And the worst part is that you may not even know it’s them. In fact, very toxic friends might end up convincing you that you are the problem.

The Value of Personal Faith (And How To Develop It):

by

Faith is a word that is revered by many people but abhorred by many others. For example, most religious and spiritual people think it is the secret to miraculously bringing their desires to reality, while many non-religious people think faith in that regard is simply self-delusion and has no relevance in the cold-indifferent world we find ourselves in.

by

I’m introverted and a bit asocial. I’m often tempted to stop talking to the few friends I have. But, friends are important. Not just because everyone says so, but because they really are. Apart from the social benefits, friends help you stay sane. Friends reflect your emotions, values, and personality to you. They are the few people who truly see who you are.
