Simple mental health

Wrongs
Denial ? Consistent denial is psychologically harmful.
Blame - Blaming provides a way of devaluing others (bring you down to their level ? not the same as explaining).
Blame ? You give power to the one you blame ? You are allowing them to define and dictate your happiness and wellbeing.
Projection - feelings directed towards the self are displaced towards other people (Because I?m feeling this way you must be doing it to me).
Masking ? Authoritative Parents (changes ?faces? depending on who they are with, ?telephone voice? is an everyday example).
Conflict Avoidance - works short-term, long term it reinforces our belief that we should be afraid and maintains our anxiety and fear.
Hypocrisy - What you say and what you do don't match up (high emotional content - I want this to happen then complains when it happens).

3 Skills of successful people
Sociopathy ? The ability to restrain our empathy! Don?t make choices based on short term circumstance!
Narcissism ? Skilled at saying NO ? Know when to say No, when not to say no (don?t say yes to keep what you have or to make others happy)!
Neuroticism ? A=Reframing, B=Action Oriented, C=Emotion ? When I have a negative experience I fix the environment ? work harder ? trade suffering for success, Action (fix it) oriented coping NOT emotional (deal with emotion not cause of emotion) oriented coping!
