The penguin story went viral for a reason. 🐧
We laugh, we meme it, we call it “relatable.” And yeah, I get the lighter take—burnout culture, needing a break, wanting to escape the grind.
But let’s be real about what we’re actually relating to.
A penguin walking toward certain death. Away from everything that sustains it. Scientists don’t romanticize it—they call it what it is: a death march.
And the fact that millions of us saw ourselves in that? That says something darker about where we’re at collectively.
Here’s the thing: We’re not penguins. We have consciousness. We can recognize when we’re walking toward our own mountains, away from connection, away from help, away from life.
Sometimes self-destructive behavior isn’t accidental—it’s a choice we make when reality feels unbearable. When pain outweighs hope. When the familiar darkness feels safer than the unknown effort of healing.
I’m not here to sugarcoat it. But I am here to remind you: unlike the penguin, you can turn around.
Swipe through for the psychology behind why we self-destruct, and why you still have a choice.

Why ‘just be confident’ doesn’t work
(And what actually does)
You can’t just decide to feel confident
That’s like saying ‘just be happy’ or ‘just stop being anxious’
The real issue?
It’s not lack of confidence
It’s unprocessed fear, imposter syndrome, and a nervous system that sees speaking up as danger
Communication training teaches WHAT to say
But misses WHY you freeze in the first place
Swipe through for what actually works 💭

Conversations we avoid (and the psychology behind it)
Whether you’re in college or at work, we all have them.
The conversation with your professor/boss about that thing you’ve been putting off.
The one in your group project/team meeting where you stay silent even though you have ideas.
The one with your parents/yourself about whether this path is actually right for you.
And we avoid them for the same reason: Fear.
Fear of judgment. Fear of rejection. Fear of being ‘too much’ or ‘not enough.’
But here’s what I’ve learned after 7+ years of working with students and young professionals:
Avoiding the conversation doesn’t make it go away.
It just makes it louder. In your head. On repeat.
The conversations you’re avoiding? They’re the ones that could change everything.
P.S. If you struggle with speaking up, having difficult conversations, or finding your voice - whether in placements, at work, or in life - you’re not broken. You’re just managing fear. And that’s something we can work with.

I cannot deal with this side of social media and unfollowing such people doesn’t hide the bogus movement that they are starting amongst teenagers who still has to figure out what works and what doesn’t for them.
The liberty of free speech on social media is clearly misused to great lengths, but there is so much more the issues that we need to dive in. I urge viewers specially teenage girls to be more mindful, because it clearly looks like how AI convinced you to t@ke your 0wn l!fe.

Therapy analogies I use to help clients make sense of their feelings 💭

Sometimes emotions feel too big or confusing to put into words. That’s where analogies come in. They help my clients:
• Understand what they’re experiencing
• Realize their feelings are valid and normal
• Create a shared language we can work with
• See their struggles from a new perspective

When feelings finally make sense, healing becomes possible.

Which one resonates with what you’re going through right now? 💬

September hit different this year.
Been moving around a lot lately - physically, mentally, emotionally. You know that restless feeling where you just want to be anywhere but where you are? Yeah, that was me for most of this month.

But something shifted. All these places that felt demanding and challenging… they were actually preparing me for something. I’ve spent so much of my life giving, helping, being there for others. And now? Now I’m finally ready to receive.

It’s weird how the place you want to escape from sometimes becomes exactly where you need to be. Where you learn to ask for what you deserve instead of just hoping it finds you.

Still figuring it out, but I’m here for it.🎀🫰🏻🥂

Part 3: What To Do If Cheating Happens 💔
If you’re reading this while your heart is breaking - I see you. This isn’t the content anyone wants to need, but if you’re here, you deserve real guidance, not just “you deserve better” comments.
This is the hardest part of my job as a counseling psychologist - sitting with people in their darkest relationship moments. But I’ve also seen people emerge stronger, whether they stayed or left.
For my Indian audience - I know the added pressure you face:
💔 “Log kya kahenge” culture
💔 Family telling you to “adjust”
💔 Financial dependency concerns
💔 Children’s future worries
Your healing matters more than anyone else’s opinion. Period.
Whether you’re supporting someone through this or going through it yourself - there’s no “right” way to handle betrayal. There’s only YOUR way.
Sending strength to anyone who needs this 🤗
