Where Does The Line Fall Between Truth & Reality? [EXPERT]

So in terms of relationship, where is the line between truth and a lie, or truth and dishonesty?

Reality and truth travel a very narrow path. What is the truth? It actually is a perception. There is no proof in the universe that anything is a truth. Many things perceived as truths have been disavowed after more is discovered. So in terms of relationship, where is the line between truth and a lie, or truth and dishonesty? What does it mean to have truth in a relationship?

Adjusting Your Emotions

Adjusting Your Emotions

"A couple of months ago things were so stressful at work that everyone – including me – was tense all the time. By the time I got home I was completely drained and wanted nothing more than go straight to bed." Does the above scenario sound at least a little familiar? Can you identify with the premise if not the specific situation? If so, how long was it before your mood lifted? Did you have a serious talk with yourself, trying to convince yourself to focus on something – anything – else?

Does Unavailable = Irresistible?

It sure does seem like guys have a sixth sense for sussing out when you're no longer single.

So, you know, I have a boyfriend now. It's pretty awesome. I'm psyched. I'm happy. I must be radiating blissfully coupled up vibes into the stratosphere because in the last two days, three dudes with whom I have had serious romantic feelings for, hooked up with and/or dated have come out of the woodwork after a lengthy absence and have tried to bark up my tree. It's like Cupid's Evil Cousin whispered in their ears, "Amelia is happy, fulfilled, and no longer interested in dating or DTF—don't you suddenly want to give her a shout?"

A Psychic Tells Us How To Eliminate Drama

Margaret Ruth wants us to assume everyone is giving us their best. Even if they disappoint us. Hm.

Margaret Ruth is some psychic/ radio VJ who hosts a show called Radio From Hell on X96 an alternative radio station tells listeners to "assume that the person you are relating with is doing the best she can for that time and that situation. No matter what others are saying or doing, assume "he is giving me his best available at this moment," and you will start feeling better about relationships and other people instantly." Margaret says "Labeling other people's reactions to you as "good to me" or "bad to me" allows you to take everything someone does personally." Rather realize their best isn't good enough and move on.
