Being Right All the Time is Boring

Most of us have a hard time being wrong. In fact, I’m convinced many people believe they’ll spontaneously combust if they admit it. Yet, there’s so much strength in admitting you messed up. Plus, being right all the time is boring. If you frequent social media (or even if you don’t), you see this in […]

Why Does Assertiveness Scare People?

It seems like you only have two choices these days: being a nice pushover or being a bully. Yet, there’s always been a middle ground geared toward mature interactions. So, why does assertiveness scare people? Let’s face it; we live in polarizing times. As a result, we tend to think in binary extremes, leaving little […]

Why Do People Want to be Mean Lately?

If you’re as chronically (perhaps even terminally) online as I am, you’ve noticed it. People want to normalize being rude and brutal. Yet, kindness is already hard to come by.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Dimitrius Podcast Indefinitely Postponed

New episodes of the Dimitrius podcast will be postponed indefinitely. Let me start off by saying I don’t make this decision lightly.

The World Was Supposed to End On NYE, Now What?

Let me start off by saying there’s nothing wrong with having a New Year’s Resolution. People are allowed to set goals for themselves and feel hopeful at the beginning of each year.

ANSWERED: Why Do I Love Drama?

There have been quite a few times when I’ve asked myself, “Why do I love drama?” Let’s face it; drama is exciting, and many of us are addicted to it.

ANSWERED: Why Did He Ghost Me?

“Why did he ghost me?” is a question so many of us have asked ourselves. It seems like we’re already locked in a perpetual quest for men who actually take us seriously. So, when they dip, we understandably spiral a bit. I received a letter from an anonymous woman who was recently ghosted by a […]
