Help! I Think We Might Be the “Toxic Family” Everyone’s Always Complaining About.

Dear Prudence,
I’m starting to wonder if my family is toxic to my sister, “Beth.” She was always very different. Even as a child she was dark, moody, and not very outgoing. The rest of my family are total opposites. Beth rarely ever wanted to do the things we did and that got even worse when she got older. We tried to include her, but she just never enjoyed the things we did. We also tried to figure out what she might like to do and do those activities, but almost everything she likes to do is solitary. She went away to college and we pretty much ghosted her. We all reach out around major holidays that we spend together. Sometimes she comes, sometimes she doesn’t. I once asked her why she didn’t want to come to family events, and she said she just never felt like she fit in.
I’ve been reading a lot about people’s experiences with toxic family patterns, and I’m wondering if she thinks we’re toxic. I can’t say I know about every interaction she had with my parents, but I don’t think they ever said or did anything to directly make her think she wasn’t loved. We’re not a sarcastic or passive-aggressive family. I’m just at a loss and wondering if this is a personality quirk or if it’s something we did that we should try to make amends for. She’s so quiet and private, though, I don’t really know what her feelings are and I don’t want to make the situation worse. Is there something I should do?
— Hopefully Not Toxic

3 reasons not to bring your authentic self to work

There has been a lot of talk lately about bringing your authentic self to the workplace. This trend is rooted in good intentions. It requires energy when, for whatever reason, we have to be mindful about regulating some facet of our identity. Accordingly, easing this burden makes sense. And although the idea of allowing everyone to express themselves freely is grounded in good intentions, often in the workplace, this practice can lead to unintended consequences. To be clear, this is exclusive of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts that are long overdue. DEI initiatives, when done well, create and help maintain work environments that are safe and inclusive for all. Here we’re talking about something a bit different.
Our well-being is supported when we feel a positive sense of autonomy, competence, and a feeling of connection that aligns with our identity. Since most of us spend a significant portion of our waking hours on work-related tasks, these core needs are either met or not met at work. Given that living in alignment with our identity is important, what are some important things to consider to be as authentic as possible at work?

What happens when a group of Fox News viewers watch CNN for a month?

Watching Fox News can be like entering an alternative universe. It’s a world where Vladimir Putin isn’t actually that bad, but vaccines may be, and where some unhinged rightwing figures are celebrated as heroes, but Anthony Fauci, America’s top public health official, is an unrivaled villain.
Given the steady stream of misinformation an avid Fox News consumer is subjected to, the viewers – predominantly elderly, white, and Donald Trump-supporting – are sometimes written off as lost causes by Democrats and progressives, but according to a new study, there is still hope.
In an unusual, and labor-intensive, project, two political scientists paid a group of regular Fox News viewers to instead watch CNN for a month. At the end of the period, the researchers found surprising results; some of the Fox News watchers had changed their minds on a range of key issues, including the US response to coronavirus and Democrats’ attitude to police.
The findings suggest that political perspectives can be changed – but also reveals the influence partisan media has on viewers’ ideology.
Polls have previously shown that viewers of Fox News, the most-watched cable news channel in the US, are far more likely to believe the false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen than the average American, and are more likely to believe falsehoods about Covid-19.

The most successful people have this type of intelligence—and it’s about being ‘people smart,’ says relationship expert

You may have heard of EQ, short for emotional intelligence, and IQ, short for intelligence quotient, but you likely aren’t familiar with RQ: Relational intelligence, or the skill of navigating relationships well.
RQ is becoming increasingly important because every single area of your life is inevitably impacted by the people in your life.
As an EQ researcher who has coached thousands of people, I’ve found that our spiritual, physical, financial, emotional, and professional progress is tethered to who we allow to be in our lives.

Developing your mental strength and self-discipline is one of the most valuable things you can do.
It allows you not just to survive, but thrive during life’s challenges.
It allows you to make better choices in stressful situations.
And it allows you to do hard things — and doing hard things leads to a good life.
Whether in sports, work, or your personal life, being able to rely on your self-discipline and mental strength is a competitive advantage few possess.
However, Stoics like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus understood the importance of developing their self-discipline and mental fortitude.
Each day, they practiced specific habits and routines to become mentally ‘bulletproof’ and train their bodies and minds to endure hard things.

Creativity and longevity were the key words Saturday night at the eighth annual Governors Awards, as Oscars were handed to four individuals who collectively represented about 225 years of film experience.
Honorees were Jackie Chan, editor Anne V. Coates, casting director Lynn Stalmaster, and documentarian Frederick Wiseman at Hollywood & Highland.
At the cocktail reception and the pre-dinner schmoozing, the conversation was dominated by the Nov. 8 election won by Donald Trump, as well as handicapping the current awards season, with most of the films in contention being represented.
However, politics and the 2016 awards took a back seat once the 75-minute ceremony started, with knockout clip montages and verbal tributes to the four honorees.
