How to Correctly Spot A Secure Person

Sep 27, 2023 | medium.com | Tamanna I. Urmi

I am sure you can go back to that time in your memory when you were friends with a secure person - a person well-situated in his place on the earth, in her workplace, at home, and in her relationships. (For the sake of convenience, I will use the pronoun 'he/his/him' to refer to this person for the rest of the article as well.)He knows what is expected of him and what his demands are from relationships, work, and herself. He embraces you with genuine warmth. You feel very safe around him.
You Need Doors, Not Walls, for Emotional Boundaries

Sep 23, 2023 | medium.com | Tamanna I. Urmi

We want love. And, we want safety. We want to be vulnerable. And, we want to be respected. Figuring out how to fulfill these contradictory needs is one of life's biggest challenges. For love and vulnerability, you need the openness to receive, whereas for safety and respect, you need sincerity for self-preservation. This antagonism is complex to manage.
The Wretched Dualities

Sep 19, 2023 | medium.com | Tamanna I. Urmi

Is your mental health a consequence of your surroundings? Spiritual conflict can trigger bipolar disorder and tendencies to lead a double life. Every time I see the conservatism surrounding me, manifesting through misogyny, controlling behavior, poor food habits, mockery towards the physically or mentally specially-abled, and normalizing ideas of racism (dehumanizing people of other religions), I immediately go into a spiral of tortuous confusion.
5 Insights to Protect Yourself from Love Bombing

Sep 14, 2023 | medium.com | Tamanna I. Urmi

Gold is pretty for an accessory; it would be much less than ideal however to be coated all over with it. Love bombing is a technique used by manipulators, narcissists, and abusive people to quickly grab a top position in your priority list and make you catch feelings. It involves showering you with excessive admiration and sweeping you off of your feet with dreamy romance. Love bombing isn't the honeymoon phase or romance. It's an inauthentic caricature of that. It's very hard to spot.
Why it's terribly unfair to you and the world to be lazy

Sep 11, 2023 | medium.com | Tamanna I. Urmi

Sloth is a trap. Lying down on your bed for hours on the weekends only to brag about how your day starts at 2 p.m. is tremendously unfair. I understand if you wrote 200 pages of codes or built the chassis of a car then went on a half-day hike and spent many hours in a bouldering gym. If you took care of your crying children by staying up all night or meal prepped for your whole family till 4 a.m. on a Friday night, I can understand.
Who hooked you on to Medium?

Sep 11, 2023 | tam-urmi.medium.com | Tamanna I. Urmi

MEDIUM I remember being a non-member reader on this platform 4 years ago with 2 stories on my profile. I used to write my adventures, opinions, and experiences on WordPress and Facebook at that time.

The Lost Boy's Tale

Sep 9, 2023 | medium.com | Tamanna I. Urmi

With a small torch in his hand, a pair of sneakers on his feet, a backpack with a chocolate bar, and a bottle half full of water on his back, he is walking on the small puddle of water as he desperately looks for more light. This is the third time this month he got a little lost on his way. Only, this time he has enough food to keep him going for just the next hour or so. The clock is way past the 4 a.m. mark already.
A Diagnosis of Emotional Abuse

Sep 7, 2023 | medium.com | Tamanna I. Urmi

Physical abuse is often easier to spot, report and even heal. Emotional abuse on the other hand is not the most straightforward to address. It creeps in hideously and leaves wounds in inaccessible places. I have observed a number of emotionally abusive relationships over the years which sparked interest in me to read up extensively on it and watch fictional and non-fictional accounts of it. Symptoms of abuse: Physical symptoms of mental abuse show up in many sufferers.
Is a Gaslighter Making Brain Noodles Inside Your Skull

Sep 7, 2023 | medium.com | Tamanna I. Urmi

My friend has been in a relationship with this 33-year-old man for 3 years hoping to soon get married, live together, and have a baby. We don't know if the dream of this future truly exists in the man's head or not but it sure exists in my friend's brain. On her 28th birthday she called me and after heaving a long sigh of frustration said how his boyfriend and soon-to-be-husband did not wish her happy birthday at night.
