If you have these four types of friends in your life, they could literally be making you sick. Consider yourself warned and remove these toxic friends!

Yes, a lot of parents are assholes. But you know what? A lot of people are assholes; some of them happen to have kids, some don’t. I can’t speak for all parents, and I wouldn’t want to try. But speaking as one particular person with kids, here’s what I wish my childfree friends would understand…

How do you deal with feeling lonely; are you okay with having alone time?

The elephant in the room is my mental illness. Do my anxiety and depression make me unworthy of love?

Is it hard for you to accept help when you need it?

In a marriage, should you really feel lonely that much of the time? And if so, then how lonely is too lonely?

Clutter is a distraction, causing you to lose focus and get sidetracked, and it also signals your brain to feel that your work is never done.

Attracted to the wrong people? Believe it or not, this is actually a good thing.

Pretending you don’t have feelings doesn’t pay off.

The thing is, when you fight with your partner, it’s your amygdala that takes over. It's the part of the brain that processes fear, and it’s powerful.
