According to a CareerBuilder survey, of the top 10 productivity killers in the workplace, 7 of them involve too much socializing.
If you have coworkers who talk too much, this probably doesn’t surprise you.
You’re here, now, because you want to know how to deal with people who talk too much — or how to tell someone they talk too much in a nice way.
After all, you still have to work with them.
So, why not make it easier?
According to a study in Psychology Today, about 60% of people end up getting back with an ex-lover after breaking up.
And there's a solid chance you landed here because you recently split and are now wondering if there's a chance you could reunite.
So what are the signs he wants you back?
Situations vary, which will influence your guy's reaction.
That said, there are several common signals that your ex is waiting to welcome you back into their arms.
When going through a tough time, you may find yourself on a downward spiral, looking for comfort with self-pity.
Whether you’ve been wronged by someone else or certain choices have taken you down a bad path, it’s in our nature to fixate on blaming or feeling sorry for yourself.
This pattern might feel inescapable.
Similar to a monkey swinging through a forest, grasping vine after vine, humans have a tendency to grab onto one self-pitying thought and swing to the next.
It’s not until we are deep into the dark jungle, feeling too scared to jump down, that we start looking for a way out.
To help take those steps back home, we have found 13 ways to overcome self-pity.
What does it mean when you feel sorry for yourself and how can you stop?
When we go through a spiral, it isn’t always as easy as taking a deep breath.
That can certainly help, but many of the causes are more deeply rooted in issues of self-esteem and often anxiety.
Self-pitying can feel good a first, like hiding under the covers.
We build this mechanism for ourselves as children and often maintain it through adulthood to protect the wounded kid that we still carry with us.
We are all capable of finding better coping mechanisms for pain and loss.
This means acknowledging and thanking the protective part of yourself while asking it to step aside so that you can take action to feel better. Here are a few first steps:
Deep down, we are all insecure bowls of jelly, riddled with indecision and self-doubt regarding relationships.
And once in a relationship, people tend to assume that their partner knows their innermost thoughts and feelings.
Even if one establishes a deep bond with someone, there are still things we do not know for sure until we hear them.
And the words, I love you, are at the top of that list.
But there are simple, everyday acts of kindness that communicate love and respect and tell him how much you love him.
Has your once rock-solid marriage turned lukewarm?
Does your spouse make endless excuses to avoid spending time together?
If you find yourself lonely and longing for the intimacy you once shared, you're not alone.
A growing relationship rift often signals deeper issues left unaddressed.
Though challenging, reconnecting is possible with understanding, communication, and intentionality.
With insight into why your partner distances themselves, you can break this painful pattern.
There is hope for rediscovering the love that first brought you together.
