Why Are People So Rude?

The origins of nastiness in other people can be deeply hard to fathom, especially if we have done nothing to them. The answer is strangely and consolingly simple… Enjoying our Youtube videos?

These things hurt a lot – more than we’re ever allowed to admit. In the privacy of our minds, we search for explanations, but anything satisfying and soothing is usually hard to come by. We’re just left to puzzle at the casual inhumanity that circulates all around us – and suspect that perhaps it’s we who are, somewhere deep down, to blame for falling victim to it.” You can read more on this and other topics here: https://goo.gl/LXU37S MORE SCHOOL OF LIFE Watch more films on SELF in our playlist: http://bit.ly/TSOLself SOCIAL MEDIA Feel free to follow us at the links below: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theschooloflifelondon/ X: https://twitter.com/TheSchoolOfLife Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theschooloflifelondon/ CREDITS Produced in collaboration with: Patrick Smith https://vimeo.com/blendfilms #TheSchoolOfLife Learn more about your ad choices.

Is It OK to Keep Secrets From Your Partner?

We’re taught that love requires honesty, and that secrets are anathema to healthy relationships. But there may be very noble reasons for concealing things from our partner - and instances where it is far kinder to lie than reveal hurtful truths. Enjoying our Youtube videos?

How to transform your Script

Unfortunately, we go around the world with scripts in our minds. That is to say collections of expectations about how events will unfold and how we should best respond to them. These tell us a lot about our pasts, but the tragedy is that, unaware they exist, we let them determine our futures. Enjoying our Youtube videos?

Overcoming Sexual Shame

Though we live in supposedly enlightened times, many of us are still burdened with intense feelings of shame around our own sexuality and desires. Overcoming this requires us to face up to the scale of the problem - and find ways of discussing our innermost feelings more nakedly. Enjoying our Youtube videos?
