The strongest response to a sneaky blow is silence.

Especially when you are expected to respond. The longer you pause, the better. Let them think what's on your mind. Let them consider options for your answers to their meanness, startle at every stranger who comes in, see you in every random aggressive fake and in every sharp quote that you repost on your wall. A person who has treated you meanly will definitely think that these are all your machinations. It would never occur to him that intelligent people do not exchange for any nonsense, and if they serve revenge, then as a cold dish. And the smart ones do not take revenge at all, they just live their lives. They are just happy!

Laws of Happiness

1. Believe in your happiness. Believe that this is possible for you. Faith is a belief, the perception of something as a fact, for no apparent reason. That's how a happy life, you need to believe, "that I can be happy, without clear evidence." 2. Be ready for happiness if it suddenly comes. This is your answer to the question: “What next?” It will definitely come if you can well imagine the events that will happen after ... 3. Do not wish, but intend to become happy. There is a rather large distance between desire and intention - an abyss. Dreaming of being happy is a hobby for the soul, which is nice to do from time to time. Intention is a state of mind and body with the intent to become one.

Types of toxic men

He scolds your body. Every time you put on your favorite item, he suggests putting on another one because it reveals something you'd be better off hiding. He says "chick" or "wench". If it's a joke, please. But a person who seriously calls all the surrounding women that way, including, perhaps, you, is clearly not one of those who respects "chicks." He says hurtful things and then turns everything into a joke He claims that in this outfit you look ten years older, and when you are offended, he adds that he was joking, and you have no sense of humor.

Protect yourself from harmful thoughts

Sometimes we develop firm erroneous beliefs, which are extremely difficult to overcome. It seems to you that they are a part of you, but they are not. A person is plastic by nature and can accept any attitude if he forms it long enough and persistently. This ability can be useful. Track down the beliefs that prevent you from living: low self-esteem, lack of opportunity for change, and so on. Ask yourself questions, become your own psychiatrist. For example, if you feel uncomfortable in the company, ask yourself: "Why did I decide that shyness is my natural quality?", "What prevents me from communicating freely?", "Have I always felt squeezed in the company of other people?", "When did it start?"

Don't be afraid to refuse someone

Sometimes it can be very difficult to say no. Especially if you are used to achieving your goals and doing everything carefully. It is not easy to change a job that is unsuitable for you, to give up a difficult relationship. You have to admit that you are not coping and something is beyond your capabilities. And this is extremely unpleasant. When psychologists advise setting boundaries, avoiding excessive workload and not imposing excessive obligations on yourself, it seems that they are talking about simple and obvious things. In fact, it's not fun at all to explain to the boss why you are increasingly taking time off "due to illness". It's even less pleasant to finally admit that you can't pull off a full-time job and leave your current place.

Supercomputer has predicted global extinction of species by 2100.

With the help of a supercomputer, researchers have created hundreds of virtual copies of the Earth, each inhabited by more than 33,000 species of vertebrates. The models made it possible to analyze how organisms would react to likely climate changes in the future. It turned out that by 2050, local ecosystems will lose on average from 6% to 10.8% of vertebrate species, and by 2100 the figure could increase to 27%. The fastest decline in diversity is observed between 2020 and 2050. This suggests that the next few decades will be decisive for our future. The researchers emphasize that biodiversity on the planet ensures human health, food security and water availability. They also call for fighting the climate crisis, as healthy ecosystems can protect us from floods or extreme droughts.
