Do you have a narcissistic mother? Children of narcissistic parents go through their lives feeling confused and lost, and in search of love, they never received from home. They expect their mothers to nurture and support them, but when they are dealing with narcissistic mothers, they aren’t given the love and support that healthy parents provide.

Disclaimer: This video is purely for educational purposes. It is not designed to diagnose or suggest that your mother is a narcissist or has a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) because you recognize some of the signs in this video.

If you relate to this video and want to learn more about the signs of narcissistic abuse, we have a video on that too: https://youtu.be/H_Dqczmp8Kc

Depression is associated with persistently negative feelings, significantly affecting your thoughts and behaviour. It’s important to educate yourself on matters of depression, to sift through the misconceptions and avoid doing anything that might worsen the symptoms for you or those around you. Here's a video we also did on signs of concealed depression: https://youtu.be/kYunYTrA6Ks

Are you wondering what stages of friendship you are with someone? Are you questioning how far in your friendship with someone is and how to move it to the next level? Well, we have this figured out for you. We start with how friendships are formed to how you become best friends? While there’s no widely accepted theory about the formation of friendships in social psychology just yet, there is a natural progression to it that’s easy to see. So, here are the five levels of friendship.

Have you ever had a sneaking suspicion that someone might be trying to get the upper hand? Do you only hear from that one friend of yours only when they need something? Feeling used by someone else can be seen in all aspects of our lives, and it can harm your self-esteem and mental health. Maybe it’s a friend in your life that you only hear from when they need something. Or a supervisor that pushes you to stay that extra hour. Perhaps it’s even a controlling partner that insists you buy them that new makeup kit they’ve been eyeing. Have you ever had a sneaking suspicion that someone might be trying to exploit and manipulate you or get the upper hand? If so, we've made this video for you to help you identify the signs someone is using you.

Reminder: While we here at Psych2Go understand that it’s hurtful, we just want to remind you Psych2Goers of your worth! It’s important to remember that we’re not responsible for the actions of others, but we are in full control of how we react to them. But if you still feel hard to forgive yourself or are too hard on yourself about this, we've previously made a video on the signs you may be too hard on yourself: https://youtu.be/seHB34meY-M

Throughout your lifetime, have you ever wondered the meaning behind bisexuality? Being bisexual means being attracted to more than just one sex or gender. In a lot of cases, bisexuality can be explained in many types. Depending on the context, some may include pansexual, gender fluid, or omnisexual as equivalent as bisexuality as well.

When we feel low or sad, we need to feel like we can count on our loved ones for support, guidance, and love to help pick us back up. However, sometimes, words of support that may seem positive can aggravate negative feelings and emotions. Toxic positivity is a form of gaslighting that encourages us to ignore emotions, devalue problems, and impose unreasonable optimism. But how do we know that the things which we say or that we hear, are toxic? This video explores some phrases which seem harmless but may be toxic.

Disclaimer: This video is intended for educational purposes only and is not written to suggest that if you have used or have heard any of these phrases said to you, that they are necessarily toxic. It is more about being mindful of how they could be interpreted as toxic depending on the situation. If you have any concerns, please confide in somebody you trust.
