I’m being vague on purpose for anonymity but.

My girlfriend has a male friend I never met before. She did a huge favor for this friend that I thought was strange and reserved for people that you are really close to. When I asked her in a calm non invasive non confrontational way about who it was, how she knows him, and why she did that favor; the question was met with defensiveness, deflection and a fight. In the end I told her straight up that I don’t like my gf doing things like that and I didn’t like her reaction to my questions. I want to know if there is a way to handle this in a way that reveals the nature of their relationship?

Edit: for those talking about open communication: the onus of avoiding open communication is not on me.

For those trying to frame me as jealous, controlling, etc for asking a question or having concerns just know that not everybody gets down like you adam22 headass.

Give me your best pitch to convince people to come to a blood donation drive. Going to go door to door for awareness. I'm thinking of making people sign a sheet to instill a sense of commitment. But how should I pitch in a way that doesn't seem forceful and annoying? Should I have the RWA president announce beforehand that I'd be coming? I also live in the building btw. Also, any ideas to spread the word?

Hey, guys. For some time now Ive been pretty miserable since most of my friends are losers, exploiters and are not really ambitious. Im 22 with bunch of hobbies, going to college and I am working in my field. My goal is to get in contact with older,30+, guys that are good at what they do. How can someone with almost no value to those people become their friends and where to find them st the beggining?

People react positively to this, what form of persuasion is this?

My mom is a Vietnamese and she told me don't shake my legs while sitting as she believed if a man does it very frequently, he won't have much good fortune.

In psychology perspectives, I feel like this behaviour indicates a status of inscure of oneself. Am I right?

Can anyone explain more to me about this? Or what you think about this?

Here is an interview that is going viral because of Blake Lively and Parker Rosey basically having a side conversation during an interview: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F2-2RBi1qzY&t=20s&pp=ygUwYmxha2UgbGl2ZWx5IGludGVydmlldyB0aGF0IG1hZGUgbWUgd2FudCB0byBxdWl0

I’m wondering why and how this even happens? This has happened to me once in college. I was out with my one classmate and her group of friends. They were completely ignoring me some conversations and I sort of took it as them being closer to each other than they are to me. So I didn’t read too much into it. I felt excluded, ignored, and dismissed, sure, but didn’t take it too personally. I do not think they are mean or that they did it on purpose, but maybe didn’t see value in me being part of the conversation? What are your thoughts?

I know that in the interview, Blake was probably projecting her insecurity when being congratulated for having a pregnancy, which I felt was miscommunication starting off and then the whole interview became passive aggressive and resentful for the rest of it. That’s some context to this situation (doesn’t make it right, but we can at least see why it happened here). But what about the instances in which people just ignore you for no rhyme or reason?

Let your own self have the initiative, not a manipulative social media algorithm. Do what you got to do in priority. Don't let social media algorithms have the initiative over your will, like someone messing with your plans.

What are techniques you use to build trust with people from the get-go

Long story short, I started a group and this other girl is trying to manipulate her way into being the owner.

She has told people she in the cocreater and she doesn’t do any work. Nearly zero work. Never shows up to a meeting even.

She is earning money on my group because I hold our weekly meetings at her coffee shop. That’s it. But we can have it at any other location.

I’ve worked insanely hard on this group and now that people who are influential in the community are joining she is messaging them privately to express her partial ownership of the group. It’s all ridiculous.

I feel used because I do the work and she is showing up just to message anyone important so she can gain the contact.

She’s a dangerous narcissistic person in general.

How do I separate her from the group with the least damage?

I’ve changed the passwords to the accounts. So she doesn’t have access there.

Through experience and reading, I have concluded that everyone has a certain need, and if you feel as if you're lacking in this need it can become your greatest addiction. What are some tips, strategies, and questions that are good at making people reveal this need?

Hello everyone, I can't remember where I heard or read it from could be YouTube, reddit or some article e.t.c. Here it is

(If you catch your girl cheating and she knows she’s been caught red-handed, stay silent. It'll drive her crazy. If you confront her, she’ll just find a way to turn the blame on you.)

The fact that brands are profit oriented corporate entities and human beings identify with them. They act human, bring themselves in into current and relevant discussions and state polarizing opinions. Prime people to consume, plant seeds and manipulate. They tap into primal needs and trigger.

Worst thing is when this brand is doing big harm to a person’s health or our planet in general. How can we fix this or be more aware as consumers?
