When a person describes their day as ‘being stressful’: it can be perceived as a tactic to attract attention or a weakness in their coping skills.
Attracting attention by the ‘woe is me’ habit often begins at an early age. This pattern works as a way to get attention. If this is a constant predicament, you may get sucked in. If compelled to offer a sympathetic ear, you can wait for the crisis to run its course or you could…
Q: Hi Kathryn. I purchased a suit at the Thrift Store and my girlfriend says it is creepy. Could this have a hex on it or something? How can a suit be creepy?
