You’ve run out of ideas on how to help someone in your life see things in a more positive light. The more you try, the more signs of bitterness you pick up in their words and behavior. You recognize the negativity at the root of everything they say and do. And it’s exhausting. Where does it all come from? And what can you do about it? What is Bitterness in a Person?...

What we’re trying to avoid here is the heartache, frustration, and misery that come from unrealistic expectations in relationships. No one can meet all your expectations, even if you make them clear to the people in your life. The problems usually come, though, with expectations you assume are universal. When those unspoken expectations are imposed (consciously or not) on real people with independent wills, disappointment is inevitable. So, what can you do instead?...

People often use manipulative behavior with the intent to gain power or control over others. If you tend to ask yourself, “Am I manipulative?” you probably are. Sometimes it’s accidental, and other times you’re fully aware of it. The better question is, “Why am I manipulative?” You may need to get people to agree with your opinions or do things your way. Manipulative people often get away with their behavior because they are good at making people feel sorry for them or make their victims feel bad about themselves....

Here’s where our list of most likely to questions comes in. You start a game of “Who’s most likely to…” and pretty soon, you’re laughing together and forgetting all about so-and-so’s political tweets or whether your fandom’s newest ship makes any sense. So, how can a bunch of silly questions make your together time better? And how do you get started?

You willingly go the extra mile when your friend sends an SOS signal. Yet, when it’s your time to ask for help, he or she is suddenly too busy to care. Also, somewhere along the way, you’re the only one sending messages and planning get-togethers when you miss your friend. Unfortunately, your friend’s hot and cold behavior often means that you’re stuck in a one-sided friendship. It’s a relationship where you play the role of an attentive listener, advisor, and helper whenever the situation arises....

To most of us, guarding our computers against these attacks is a matter of anti-virus software which we load up and then forget about, but that is just one of the few ways to safeguard your machines and your precious data from those who wish you harm. As with any piece of technology, the biggest flaw isn’t based in software but in human error. Making your machine better is about making yourself smarter about how to use it....

Favorite Ghanaian Celebrities and their True Tribes: 1. R2Bees I guess you already know they are twins but I doubt you know their tribe too. Just as I said earlier, many of their fans have made the mistake of assuming that they are Fantis or Ashantis because of how well they wrap in these dialects. Sorry to quote them wrong; these two are from the Northern region of Ghana, precisely, Dagombas but they were born and raised in Tema, east of Ghana’s capital city – Accra....

Funny, right? But it’s less than amusing when your man gives the same mixed signals. What do you do when he doesn’t want you but doesn’t want anyone else to have you? Pulling you closer only to push you away can leave you hurt, confused, and insecure. And like a dog, your guy wants to mark you as his territory, even when he’s made it clear he doesn’t want a relationship....

The sad truth is that there is no quick and easy solution for insomnia. Sleeping pills like Ambien might help, but they might also lead to eating, talking, or even driving without being conscious of it, leading to even more problems than they solve. Holistic cures can help, but no one has an exact solution, despite the condition being as old as sleep itself. Usually what is needed is a combination of tactics, and a few lifestyle tweaks that will aid you in finding that sweet slumber you need to keep from going utterly mad....

The new Aston Martin Vanquish is powered by the next generation AM29 V12 engine. This produces 568 horsepower, enough power to break 60 mph from a standing start in just 3.6 seconds. It isn’t the take-off that makes this Aston Martin special, it’s the rare territory it crosses into at 200 mph. The territory is shared by Bugattis, Lamborghinis, Porsches and other performance vehicles with long standards for speed. That isn’t to say that Aston Martin doesn’t have a standard of their own, and this is far from the first of its vehicles to break 200mph....

Even more than cooling off the summer heat with an ice cold beer, fall is the time to get serious about your budding alcohol problem and really try to force that Thanksgiving intervention.

That’s why we put our nose to the grindstone and our keys in the hands of our one responsible friend....

So today, to balance the scale a bit, we’re examining what it looks like when wives cheat....
