Authentically Nita

Ladies, it's time to stop dating needy men. You know the ones I'm talking about, the guys who seem to only take from the relationship and never give back. The ones who drain your energy, demand your attention and always need you to do something for them. If you're tired of being the Goodwill of your relationships and donating your vagina to men who don't deserve it, then this post is for you. First, let me clarify what I mean by “needy men.” These are men who are incapable of doing anything for themselves and believe that the world owes them something. They are the ones who always need you to babysit them emotionally or financially. When you’re dating a needy man, you are the one doing all the heavy lifting in the relationship. You're paying for the majority of expenses, driving them around, and picking up their messes.  Let me emphasize the importance of reciprocity in relationships. Relationships should be about give and take. When you're doing everything for

The hunt for the perfect man is never-ending. We want the total package – good looks, humor, wealth, great sex, and intelligence. However, statistics show that many men are not what they seem on the outside. Many of them are just little boys in a grown man's body. Immaturity comes in all shapes and sizes. Trouble happens when we assume that the exterior of a man represents the interior character. So let's talk about how to spot a real man, what qualities make them different from little boys.

However, it is one of the greatest signs that a man is a real man. Real men prioritize their mental health by attending therapy sessions, taking breaks when overwhelmed and participate in activities that promote relaxation and self-care. They are not afraid to admit when things are becoming too much for them, and the

Lying in a relationship is never a good sign. It shakes the foundation of trust, making it difficult for the relationship to move forward. If you've started to notice signs of dishonesty in your partner's behavior but can't pinpoint when they are lying, you're not alone. Fortunately, there's a simple solution to catch a liar red-handed. By paying attention to the details that led to your partner's complaints, you can see through their lies in no time. When you listen to your partner's complaints, you may notice the details they are telling you do not add up. For instance, if your partner says their ex is crazy, ask them to clarify the details that led to their ex's crazy behavior. If they struggle to answer or try to avoid the question, this may be a red flag to watch out for. When they do give you some details, note if they are consistent and reliable. Similarly, if your partner complains about being disrespected in their previous relationship, ask them

Many of us have people in our lives who we love dearly, but who also tend to push our buttons. Whether it's a partner, family member, or friend, certain individuals can leave us feeling drained, disrespected, or taken advantage of. The good news is that we have the ability to set boundaries that protect our well-being and help us nurture positive, healthy relationships. In this blog post, we'll explore what boundaries are, why they're important, and ways to set and communicate boundaries effectively. What are Boundaries? Personal boundaries are the limits and rules we set for ourselves within relationships. They serve as a safety net for our emotional, physical, and psychological needs. Boundaries create a respectful space where we feel valued, heard, and seen. Saying "no" or setting limits on negative behavior is not a selfish act, but rather an act of self-care. Express How it Makes You Feel: One of the most effective ways to set boundaries is to communicate how

We have all encountered rude people in our lives who don't realize how their behavior can overstep boundaries and cause others to feel disrespected. It can be tempting to use their behavior as an excuse to act rudely yourself in return, but doing so only perpetuates negativity.

I have compiled a list of 19 affirmations that can help you respond to rude people in a positive way and improve your interactions. So, let's dive in!

Procrastination affects everyone, regardless of gender or age. It's a common tendency that can hinder progress in various aspects of life. But, why do we procrastinate? I'm going to identify three possible reasons and present actionable solutions to conquer them.  Reason #1: Fear Fear is a powerful emotion that can paralyze us into inaction. Public speaking is an excellent example of something that many people fear. The thought of standing up in front of a group of people and speaking can be terrifying. But fear can also manifest itself in other ways, such as a fear of failure or a fear of what others will think of us.  Solution: Identify the source of your fear and challenge it. Ask yourself what scares you and whether it’s valid. Is your fear reasonable? Reconnect with your why and what's important about the task at hand. Focusing on your vision and purpose can give you the motivation to overcome your fears and take action. Reason #2: Lack of Information/Knowledge Feeli
