Air and fire signs are temperamental and some people refer to them as being childish. How can you identify an immature sign?

You may be offending friends without realizing it. You may be able to alter your behavior so that others find you more appealing. Friendships require mindful care. What is the recipe here? Some people are able to sustain friendships quite well, while others may or may not make friends easily, but they are nonetheless unable to sustain friendships. We all speculate about why friends exclude us or even slowly become nonresponsive to our text messages. The speculation is exhausting, right? In an effort to help us identify what individuals value most and dislike most in others, Apostolou and Vetsa (2023) set out to find answers. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to these researchers.

Do you feel like everyone’s walking all over you, taking what they need with little concern for what you need? Perhaps you loan money that isn’t repaid, get stuck chairing another committee because you’re afraid to say no, or go out of your way to help your sister, who never offers to return the favor.

10 Things to Know About Grandparenting From a Distance

Editor's Note: This article was originally published on January 23, 2020. It has since been updated. Growing up, it's easy to assume that everyone's family is like our own. For instance, all my friends grew up in two-parent households, but I was raised by my single mother. I didn't complain; I loved her and appreciated all her sacrifices. All my peers, however, didn't really grasp what it meant to grow up with only one parent. It meant I was making a lot of my own school lunches, had to take care of household chores and even attend parent-teacher meetings by myself. Essentially, I grew up way faster than everyone else did. When all my friends whined about their strict, annoying, overly protective dads, I would wonder what it was like to have one in the first place. Would he teach me how to ride a bicycle? Or congratulate me when I get my driving license? Or help me with my school projects? I didn't know.
