alcohol abuse

Though belonging to the educated genre of people we frequently see many teenagers and youngsters addicted to alcohol. Research says that anyone who reaches the age of 21 without having adapted to the habit of drinking alcohol is virtually never getting towards its addiction. At an average age of 16 – 20 years most girls and guys first try alcohol as fashion or style statement and later get prone to its addiction.

 

Teenagers are easily influenced by their parents and others that surround them. Research says that children who come from families where either one or both the parents drink are more prone to intake of alcohol than others. Also, children who are warned about the use of alcohol are less likely to be addicted to alcohol. Parental neglect and loneliness are factors that have been related to substance abuse. It can also take shape due to turmoil in ones life leading to behavioral problems like unconventionality, sensation seeking and impulsiveness. Lack of communication and monitoring are also related to substance abuse. Alcoholism has been related to several psychological problems like depression, anxiety, suicide and anti-social personality disorder. However, it has still not been proved if drinking causes suicide but they are correlated. There have been many instances of suicide, accidents etc after drinking.

 

Research has also proved that those who do not take alcohol before the age of 21 are four times less prone to have alcohol related problems as compared to those who start drinking before the age of 21 years. Those who become alcoholics have to be treated with the help of self help groups and family support and care.

When women face rejection!

Emotions are basic to human existence. Emotions can be simple or complex. Happiness, anger, sadness are few examples of simple emotions that could be easily identified. However there are complex emotions that are a mixture of different emotions for instance frustration. When one is frustrated he or she encounters anger, irritation and depression all at the same moment. Both men and women encounter emotions and are affected by them. However, women are more prone to get engrossed in emotions. There are many situations in life that can create emotional stress be it changing a job or failed performance or rejection by peers. Different people react differently to same situation. Let us take a small example of rejection. What happens to different women when they face rejection by the object of their affection?  

 

Behavior: When an emotionally vulnerable woman encounters rejection she gets a shock for her life. In order to get back to her object of affection she would try calling over and over again or send numerous emails asking for forgiveness or just justifying herself and her love. Upon seeing no improvement in the response from the other side she might try other tactics like calling common friends and telling them stories of what happened and how clueless she is about the whole situation with an hope that might be this friend of hers discusses the whole issue with her object of affection and he might get back to her.  Many times this works but sometimes when the man has finally decided to leave all the efforts are in vain. Then she resorts to pacifying herself and sends across a message for being just friends hoping that once they start talking it would be normal. But that is not the case respect and attachment once lost are gone forever they do not return.

 

Cure: Men never return to such women as who likes to be accompanied by a clinging and whining personality whose carrying loads of emotional baggage. A woman who is not having respect for herself can not demand attention from others.  The best therapy for such woman is to act with self assurance reflect positive attitude and move on!

 

Behavior: Emotionally weak women upon encountering rejecting revert to gaining a man’s sympathy. They would call and mail him several times writing about her pitiable condition in order to attract attention. If things do not turn out as expected they even start threatening by telling they are hopeless and thinking to slit their nerves or die. Such women are only able to attract a man’s sympathy that too for a limited span of time. Eventually men find ways to ignore them indirectly. They change their contact numbers and try any feasible indirect method to get rid of them.

 

Cure: It is human tendency to run away from situations, things or humans that are threatening. Anything that creates problem is better avoided than confronted. Men would surely run away from these types of women via any means. Moreover, a weak personality is not a good sign to be friends with. The best therapy for such woman is to divert their focus from their object of attention to other things in life may be work or household stuff. One may even take up some extra hobbies to divert mind. Better not think of things that are not your cup of tea!

 

Behavior: Coming over to an emotionally strong woman these certainly are the luckiest among all. Independent, confident and optimists such women are worth going for. Whenever an emotionally strong lady encounters rejection she would give her object of attention time to think of what he is doing. If she finds herself at fault she would ask for an immediate apology. But if she feels what she is standing for is correct then in no case a man can get her on his feet. She avoids calling her object of affection when rejected, diverts her attention to other things of life and acts with self assurance. Men by nature like chasing and when ignored they feel challenged. They eventually would get back to these women and adopt a more tender approach for conveying their ideas. When such women become overly ignorant men tend to loose interest. Better watch the limits to which you do not respond!

 

Cure: Emotionally strong women always get the men they like as they reflect a positive self image. They are fun to be with and would not cling on to you unnecessarily. They are not threatening to be with. Men would always follow such women as they continually challenge men to win over them. They are psychologically healthy and mentally oriented. However, they must watch against coming across as egoistic or high on attitude lady.
