Understanding this behavior can help people avoid making quick judgments about others and appreciate different personality traits.
Psychology says people are being emotionally bankrupt and don't even know: Philosopher explains how
Most of us go through life feeling vaguely tired, not physically, but in a feeling that's harder to explain. We snap at people we love. We struggle to concentrate. We lie in bed at night feeling drained, even though nothing particularly disturbing happened that day.We blame stress, sleep, or our schedules. But what if the real reason is something simpler and something entirely within our control?Think about the last time something small completely ruined your day. Maybe it was a coffee order that came out wrong. A flight that got delayed by forty minutes. A long queue at the grocery store when you were already tired.While on the surface, none of these things should matter very much. And yet, for a lot of us, they do, and because of all this, the mood drops. The whole day feels impacted by something that, in the larger picture, is entirely insignificant.

People disheartened by ruling party's disappointing performance: Altaf Bukhari
Apni Party today said the ruling National Conference (NC) suffered a major setback on Friday in the Natipora area of the Chanapora constituency as dozens of its prominent leaders, workers, and activists resigned from the party en masse and joined it. On this occasion, Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari extended a warm welcome to the new entrants into the party fold, assuring them that the Apni Party would prove to be a reliable platform for serving the people in their respective areas. He expressed hope that their joining would further strengthen the party's cadre in the Natipora ward. The joining of new members took place during an enthusiastic workers meeting, which was essentially called to review the local public issues and grievances and to discuss certain party affairs. Both, the meeting and joining programme were organised by partys Ward President for Natipora Arjumand Makhdoomi. Speaking on the occasion, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukahri urged his party leaders and workers to intensify their political and public outreach activities in order the strengthen the part cadre across the Srinagar city. He said, As people have become disheartened by the ruling party's disappointing performance and its failure to fulfil its promises, it is our responsibility to step forward, stand by the people, and highlight their issues and grievances so that they are addressed effectively. He further said, People have now fully understood that they were deceived by the ruling party through false promises made during its 2024 election campaign. The National Conference (NC) had promised the moon and stars to the people to secure their votes. It had pledged to provide one lakh jobs soon after assuming office. It had also promised to regularise the services of daily wagers. Among its key promises were 200 units of free electricity, free LPG cylinders for households, and an enhanced ration quota. However, all these promises have proved to be false and misleading. Speaking about the major issues facing the people, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari said that the elected government neither has the will nor the capacity to ensure that these issues are addressed. He said, Whether it is the restoration of statehood, creation of employment opportunities, release of detainees, simplification of the passport issuance and verification process required for employment, or other important issues, all these matters can only be addressed by the Union Government. Reiterating his demand, he urged the Centre to initiate a dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir to address their issues and concerns. He said, Hon'ble Prime Minister and Hon'ble Home Minister have themselves assured that the Union Government would engage with the youth of Jammu and Kashmir to listen to their grievances and address them. This is the right time to fulfil that promise. There should be a meaningful dialogue between the Centre and the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Meanwhile the prominent among the new joinees included Halqa President (NC) Mohammad Amin Bhat, Senior Worker NC Asadullah, Saleem Jehangir, Mohammad Aslam Dar, Dr Zahoor Ahmad, Hilal Ahmad Haqqani, Zahoor Ahmad Bhat, Idrees Ahmad, Imtiyaz Ahmad Dar, Zahoor Ahmad, Sheikh Umar, Bilal Ahmad Dar, John Mohammad Dar, Dr Shahid, Zaid Javid, Dr Kamran, Haseeb Aslam, Adil Mushtaq Hafiz, Mohammad Younis Dar, Arslan Sajad, liyakat Ali, Ishtiq Ahmad, John Mohammad, Mudasir Ahmad, Mubashir Jahangir, and others. Besides Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari, the prominent party leaders who were present on the occasion included Vice President District Srinagar Aijaz Ahmad Rather, Ward president Budshah Nagar Imran Lone, Member Committee District Srinagar Afroza Khan and others.

UDF, Satheesan misleading people on liquor row, says LDF convener Ramakrishnan
Psychology teaches us that everyday preferences often reflect deeper psychological patterns. Filling a home with clocks is rarely just about knowing the time. More often, it is connected to a desire for structure, predictability, and the comfort of staying oriented throughout the day.
Research suggests that people who feel emotionally connected to celebrities, influencers, or media personalities are not necessarily obsessed. Psychologists describe this phenomenon as parasocial interaction, a one-sided relationship that develops through repeated exposure, direct communication, and social cues such as eye contact and personal storytelling. Studies show these connections can provide comfort and companionship, especially for people experiencing loneliness, but they cannot fully replace the mutual understanding and reciprocity found in real-life relationships.
