The Day I Stopped Pretending I Was Fine. AI-Generated.
I was the kind of person who smiled a lot. At work, in family gatherings, even on the street when I bumped into neighbors — I always had a polite grin and the words “Alhamdulillah, everything’s good.”

To Whom It May Concern
To Whom It May Concern, (especially if you’re struggling too). Hi, My Name Is Annie, and I’m a Recovering Psycho. Because, you know… I take antipsychotics. So technically, that makes me a recovering psycho. (Yeah, I know, not everyone finds that funny. My mom didn’t laugh. But I did.)

Social psychology
Social psychology, a branch of psychology that focuses on how individuals think, feel, and behave in social contexts, reveals a profound truth: human behavior does not occur in a vacuum. Every decision we make, every emotion we experience, and every judgment we form is deeply influenced by the social forces around us. These forces — including cultural norms, peer pressure, social roles, group dynamics, and the presence of others — act as invisible hands guiding our behavior, often without our conscious awareness.

My Thoughts Were Holding Me Captive—Until a Prayer Set Me Free. AI-Generated.
I didn’t even notice when the noise inside my head got louder than the world outside. It began subtly. I would lie awake in bed, rehearsing conversations that never happened. I’d think about things I said ten years ago, wondering if people still remembered them. I’d feel ashamed of my mistakes, terrified of my future, and unsure about who I was becoming.

Am I an Empath or the Opposite? A Brain Dissection in Real Time. Content Warning.
Intellect is something that I indeed lack. And so I feel utterly ashamed. It's like a destructive nature that binds me tightly with my idiocy. It is shameful and I find it exhausting. Not like in a subtle way but from deep within. From the very depths of my core . It is shameful, uncouth, and it, without any doubt completely showcases my involuntary degeneration. I sometimes feel desperate, in need of attention, of attachment, of touch, of guilt, of binding, of love, of torture, of whatever I feel like right now.

What Attachment Theory Taught Me About My Love Life
For the longest time, I thought love was just about chemistry, timing, and a bit of luck. I didn’t realize that what felt like love was often just a repetition of what I had unconsciously learned as a child.
