But we're not all the same in our levels of anxiety around the dating game. For some of us, dating is especially arduous for one particular reason that we may not have considered in enough depth: our childhoods...

Intimacy and closeness, far from fostering deeper sexual desire, can be the very ingredients that destroy excitement - whereas having only just recently met a person and not feeling too much for them can set up awkward yet ideal preconditions for wanting very badly to take them to bed…” MORE SCHOOL OF LIFE Visit us in person at our London HQ: www.theschooloflife.com/london/about-us/ Watch more films on RELATIONSHIPS in our playlist: bit.ly/TSOLrelationships You can submit translations and transcripts on all of our videos here: tr-me.com/utitle-timedtext_cs_panel?c=UC7IcJI8PUf5Z3zKxnZvTBog&tab=2 Find out how more here: support.google.com/youtube/answer/6054623?hl=en-GB SOCIAL MEDIA Feel free to follow us at the links below: Facebook: facebook.com/theschooloflifelondon/ Twitter: twitter.com/TheSchoolOfLife Instagram: instagram.com/theschooloflifelondon/ CREDITS Produced in collaboration with: Daniel Stankler danstan.co.uk/ Title animation produced in collaboration with Vale Productions www.valeproductions.co.uk/


We're taught to think very badly of selfishness but in truth, completely obliterating ourselves and living only for others and their wants (as it can be so easy to do) may be a fast route to depression and inner numbness. We may need - on occasion - to do something that sounds rather surprising: relearn how to be beautifully and intelligently selfish.

We live in a culture that hugely values activity and 'hard work'. But - paradoxically - the hardest work we can sometimes do is to stop rushing around and, for once, sit with our thoughts, analyse our feelings, take stock of where we are and understand ourselves better.

But we're in fact doing the hard work of processing our emotions, in a way that can be hugely helpful to our mental well-being and, in its way, remarkably difficult.

We're often hugely ambitious about our plans for happiness, picturing the years of joy we want to set in motion. However, at points, we should realise the greater wisdom of learning to enjoy the day already in hand, and drawing satisfaction from that most precious and most neglected of units of time; the present moment.

Taking It One Day at a Time
4 aylar önce
We're often hugely ambitious about our plans for happiness, picturing the years of joy we want to set in motion. However, at points, we should realise the greater wisdom of learning to enjoy the day already in hand, and drawing satisfaction from that most precious and most neglected of units of time; the present moment.

It can be painfully scary to ask a partner if they still love us.

There's a particular kind of argument that can take place in a relationship when one person starts to be - provocatively - too 'rational' and logical.

We are used to thinking highly of reason and logic. We are not normally enemies of evidence and rationality. How then could these ingredients become problematic in the course of love? But from close up, considered with sufficient imagination, our suspicion can make a lot of sense. When we are in difficulties what we may primarily be seeking from our partners is a sense that they understand what we are going through. We are not looking for answers (the problems may be too large for there to be any obvious ones) so much as comfort, reassurance and fellow-feeling.

There's a special kind of argument that can arise in a couple when, for a range of reasons, there hasn't been enough sex. Unfortunately, couples tend to feel too ashamed to mention what the argument is really about - and so squabble about essentially unrelated things. Even worse, the fact there are arguments makes it ever less likely that sex will actually take place in the future. The couple is stuck in a cycle that needs to be understood - and then broken.

Choosing what to eat on a date might sound like a very trivial and inconsequential move but if a date is an audition for love, then food can play a subtle and significant role in communicating who we are and why we might be a suitable match.

What often holds us back from taking the initiative is the sense that other people out there must know better than we do. But in a great many cases, there is a more exciting, slightly scary and at heart thrilling idea to discover: that no one really knows.

Being polite is a wonderful and hugely necessary quality; but there can - in love - be moments when politeness becomes an impediment to sincere feeling. We may at points need to give free rein to our resentments and annoyances and say it like it is - if we're later to feel properly loving and spontaneous.

The death of a loved one is pretty much the saddest thing that can befall us. The French 16th century philosopher Montaigne once wrote: 'To philosophise is to learn to die.'

It can be hard to know where to turn. For religions, dying was regarded as an essential, immensely important, part of existence; it was supposed to happen at a time appointed by God or by fate.

The death of a loved one is pretty much the saddest thing that can befall us. The French 16th century philosopher Montaigne once wrote: 'To philosophise is to learn to die.' Here are a set of the School of Life's darkest but most consoling thoughts on death.

It was not an embarrassing or despair-inducing end point, it was a transformation: the soul would continue its life in another form or in another place.

Fractious couples are often made up of one party who is 'avoidant' (hiding their intimacy needs) and one who is 'anxious' (nagging and pressuring counter productively for their intimacy needs to be met).

The anxiously attached party typically complains - more or less loudly - that their partner is not responsive enough: they accuse them of being emotionally distant, withholding, cold and perhaps physically uninterested too.

Attachment theory refers to a set of ideas formulated by psychologists in the 1960s that gives us an exceptionally useful guide to how we behave in relationships.

What Is Your Attachment Style?
Yıl önce
Attachment theory refers to a set of ideas formulated by psychologists in the 1960s that gives us an exceptionally useful guide to how we behave in relationships. Knowing whether we are secure, anxious or avoidant in our attachment patterns gives us a vocabulary with which to get on top of some very tricky dynamics and helps us grow into more predictable and more joyful companions in love.

My friend of 20 years promptly dumped me as soon as she got married. This wasn't the first time she abandoned me. I already.y articulated my feelings to her the first time she did this. Second time she betrayed me, I emotionally dumped her in response. I didn't need to explain the second time. She knows why we're not friends anymore.

I'm not sure what I am. My dad so often tells me and my other siblings that I'm smart, and ever since we were small he tried to convince us (and it had an effect) that we were above everyone else. My mom acts sometimes like I'm obviously better than all other teens and will be successful in life, unlike all other teen girls. We literally live at the top of a hill above all the other neighboors. But when I started to go through teenage troubles and emotions they flipped out pretty badly, telling me that I was the only kid they ever had to give them trouble (but I'm the youngest and all of my other siblings have had troubles too.) I heard my dad say things like "I regret not spanking her" behind my back. And my dad clearly doesn't have intrest in what I love to do, the activities I love. he's threatning to take it away. I know that I'm longing for a dad character in my life who wants to pay attention to me. At one point I had low self-esteem because I thought I wasn't good enough, I wanted to die. I'm still trying to get over it. I am afraid to let people know about my problems and I put on a polite persona to make sure I meet up to their expectations. So I guess there is a chance I'm a golden child Sorry just had to let it out

I've been suffering Pure OCD for over 12 years and have been diagnosed with psychosis, schizophrenia and bipolar along with OCD and have been on SSRIs, Risperidone, Clopixol, Abilify, and many other drugs. I have only been free from my vicious cycle of Pure OCD for about I'd say 3-4 months ago (maybe August 2019). What helped me the most was that I had to believe I was better and strove to be better than the rest of society - freeing me from the chains of their judgement-which is what I feared the most. Not being afraid of society or people released the pressure on my mind to "perform" perfectly in society, which I could never do. I was so afraid of making mistakes that I was petrified with anything social-even talking to people. The more I hid myself from it, the more it ingrained into my mind that I was some kind of monster that society hated. But it wasn't an accident that I figured out the "recipe" for relieving the pressure. The Bible states it very clearly, "Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but he who trusts in the LORD will be kept safe." Furthermore, you have to redirect some elements of your thinking to what God wants it to be. For instance, instead of fearing making mistakes or brutal acts on others, the Bible tells us to fear God for it is the beginning of wisdom. Also that longing for society to love you is unwarranted. All you need is God's love, and to love him in return-no society's demands on your behaviour is needed. So redirect your fear and love, but most importantly, don't be afraid of society - they are just the blind leading the blind. Just keep reminding yourself you can be better and that only God's judgement counts.

Now 53yr, and from birth my whole life has been a train wreck. I'm not going to talk about it as its too painful. If things had been different, I would have been different. Now I struggle with long term depression and social anxiety. I was a good mother to my two sons with disorders, who are adults now and both have jobs and happy lives. I gave to them what I never recieved, I was their protector and supported them through every step of their lives. I'm proud of myself for doing that. I became overwhelmed just now over my past and needed to talk and this video showed up. The most important things children need is.....being told they are loved, cuddles and fun, bounderies, support and good communication anytime they need it. Teach them skills to get them through life. Find out their interests and strengths and work with these. Keep them safe and teach them how to keep themselves safe. I felt so sad just now but I can't go back and change the past.

I've always wondered whether there should be fines if you don't vote, or if only the people who were educated should vote. By that I mean only the people who could pass a basic test to show they understood what each party was about and had read their entire party platforms could vote. Either way would force parties to not just pander to the base, and then get a few swing voters.

Childhood is thinking your dreams can only be achieved in the big city. Adulthood is realizing a sense of community, personal fulfillment and a wholesome life can never come from such a place. Urban areas transform you into a mindless consumer, devoid of any real identity beyond materialistic possessions and the shallow, fleeting connections with people you think are real relationships. Ultra-urbanization is by far the most destructive concept humanity has conceived - both to ourselves and the environment.

Ironically, depression and fatigue are the two most common symptoms of MS, multiple sclerosis which I have. Thankfully, a mild form of it, but it's a double whammy on top of all the other things in life that can cause depression. I'm sure anyone with other auto-immune chronic illnesses also suffers from depression/sadness! One of the best things to do is turn off the toxic news, politics and murders ad naseum! Also meditation, yoga and taking the ancient Indian herb Ashwaganda helps with anxiety/depression! Hasn't been around for 5000 years for nothing...it works, much better than Prozac etc. with all their potential lethal side effects! My therapist told me my Baby Boomer generation is very traumatized since the assassinations in the 60s, the war in Viet Nam and more recent wars and 9/11 which we were FOREWARNED about believe it or not by the late great FDR's brilliant visionary VP Henry A. Wallace, champion of the 99 percent! About the evil GOP he stated around 75 years ago, "they would be made RUTHLESS in their use of DECEIT or VIOLENCE to attain their ends"...VP Wallace, they use BOTH, history has borne this out! "The DANGEROUS American Fascist is the man in the United States who wants to do in an American way what Hitler did in Germany in a Prussian way"...VP Wallace, so they DO and also DID on 9/11, a mirroring of Hitler burning down his own Reichstag building and scapegoating others, this time Saudi terrorists! Sound familiar? "History repeats" and "those who forget history are doomed to repeat it"....George Santayana...the truth! A top leading EXPERT in the UK on the Nazi party/Fascist Hitler says this "MAD DOG" of the White House, what they use to call Hitler , is going by Hitler's playbook, "Mein Kampt"! Nothing new! Wallace beat him to the punch around 75 years ago! This is all being swept under the rug and white washed just like the late great writer/historian Howard Zinn said we do all the time with American history i.e. the Native American holocaust etc. etc. so again nothing new, history repeats in more ways than one! And our own parents were traumatized by the Great Depression and WW2 so nothing new there, either! Again, history repeating! smdh

Just outside our bedroom window was our conservatory roof , in front of the conservatory my bench where I often sat. It was an extremely windy day, I was downstairs when I heard a really loud noise, I rushed outside and saw the skull had bounced off the bench onto the ground. So yeah if I had been sat on the bench at the time, I would be dead now. 😬

This is pervasive in this society, more so now than ever with an ongoing epidemic of malignant narcissism/sociopathy etc. Not only here in the states, but world wide so guess we could almost call it a pandemic!
