Previously, senator Ted Cruz argued that the movie “sexualizes young girls.”
According to the jury, there is a “probable cause” a felony has been committed. The production is accused of “promotion of lewd visual material depicting a child,” LADbible reveals.
Despite the accusation, director Maïmouna Doucouré claims the story was inspired by her own life experiences and advocates against the over-sexualization of young girls. The French-Senegalese filmmaker explains:
“Our girls see that the more a woman is overly sexualized on social media, the more she is successful. And the children just imitate what they see, trying to achieve the same result without understanding the meaning. And, yeah, it’s dangerous.”

Even after facing severe criticism led by Senator Ted Cruz, Netflix defended the movie and did not take it down.

3 .
When they are angry with you .
Whatever you say to someone who is mad at you can be interpreted wrongly and most likely taken negatively .

If you want to be understood , first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ways .

Sometimes your relationship with someone can be severely damaged to the point where whatever comes out of your mouth is being taken unfavorably .

5 .
When they relate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experienced in the past .

( For example : I was just kidding ) When the deja-vu apology “ I ’ ve already… ” is used , it implies that the person is not actually sorry but rather , that they believe they should be absolved of blame since they have already apologized .
( For example : I have already said sorry ) This refers to saying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
When one uses this apology , they are not owning up to their mistakes and taking responsibility for the consequences .
( For example : I probably should have done it differently ) The invisible apology “ I guess… ” implies that one recognizes the need for an apology but they do not actually apologize .
( For example : I guess I owe you an apology ) When one is told to apologize , they are not actually sorry as they are only apologizing because someone else has suggested it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of “ I was told to… ” and can leave you wondering if they even realize they have done something wrong .

( For example : I will apologize if you agree to forgive me ) When a person uses this apology , it takes the form of “ You know… ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In addition to this , it makes the person feel as though they do not have the right to feel upset or hurt .
( For example : You know I would never hurt you ) The phantom apology refers to statements which express regret .

( For example : I regret that mistakes were made ) Narcissists are extremely manipulative and they are masters at getting what they want through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are just one of the multiple and various tactics which they use to get what they want .

Since they believe that they are always right, narcissists rarely apologize.
In fact, when a narcissist does apologize, their apology will most likely be insincere. Those who suffer from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) have a severe lack of empathy. This, paired with their belief that they are superior and always right, makes it extremely difficult for them to apologize. For this reason, when a narcissist does apologize, they often do so in a strange and misleading way. Dan Neuharth Ph.D., MFT has explained that there are several different ‘faux’ apologies which narcissists use:
#1. The Minimizing Apology
This apology takes the form of “I was just…” and sounds as though they are excusing their actions instead of apologizing for them. (For example: I was just kidding)
#2. The Deja-Vu Apology
When the deja-vu apology “I’ve already…” is used, it implies that the person is not actually sorry but rather, that they believe they should be absolved of blame since they have already apologized. (For example: I have already said sorry)
#3. The Whitewashing Apology
This refers to saying things such as “I probably…”. When one uses this apology, they are not owning up to their mistakes and taking responsibility for the consequences. (For example: I probably should have done it differently)
#4. The Invisible Apology
The invisible apology “I guess…” implies that one recognizes the need for an apology but they do not actually apologize. (For example: I guess I owe you an apology)
#5. The Not-My-Apology Apology
When one is told to apologize, they are not actually sorry as they are only apologizing because someone else has suggested it. This kind of apology takes the form of “I was told to…” and can leave you wondering if they even realize they have done something wrong. (For example: My friends think I should say sorry)
#6. The Get-Off-My-Back Apology
This apology tends to be said towards the end of an argument and it implies that the person is not actually sorry but that they want the conversation to be over. (For example: Fine! Ok, I’m sorry!)
#7. The One-Size-Fits-All Apology
This apology is often used when one recognizes that they have hurt you and understand that they should apologize; however, it also implies that the person does not know what they have done to upset you. (For example: I’m sorry for everything I said)
#8. The Pay-to-Play Apology
This is a conditional apology which suggests that one is not sorry at all; that is, a narcissist might say that they will apologize if you do something. (For example: I will apologize if you agree to forgive me)
#9. The Nothing-to-Apologize-for Apology
When a person uses this apology, it takes the form of “You know…” and it generally contains no apology whatsoever. In addition to this, it makes the person feel as though they do not have the right to feel upset or hurt. (For example: You know I would never hurt you)
#10. The Phantom Apology
The phantom apology refers to statements which express regret. However, regretting is not the same as apologizing as one is a feeling whereas the other is an action. (For example: I regret that mistakes were made)
Narcissists are extremely manipulative and they are masters at getting what they want through deceit and thought-control. These fake apologies are just one of the multiple and various tactics which they use to get what they want.

You are not weak – you are tired. You feel powerless to the challenges life throws at you. Your mind can’t take it anymore. All this stress and anxiety makes you feel emotionally exhausted. It drains all the hope you once had that things will get better.
To fight this harmful mental state, you first need to accept you’re experiencing it. And after you acknowledge you’ve been a victim of your own mind, you need to give yourself time to heal.
Here are 7 alarming signs you might be mentally exhausted:
1. You get aggravated too easily.
Being mentally exhausted means you have lost control over your emotions and reactions to the outside world. This makes you feel overwhelmed and irritated almost all the time. All this fatigue and increased sensitivity are too much to handle, so you often can’t help it but overreact and later regret it. Luckily, you have people in your life who understand what you’re going through and never judge your reactions, even if they happen to be collateral damage at times.
2. You couldn’t feel less motivated.
The things that once inspired you to become the best version of yourself now mean nothing to you. Your mental state has crashed so badly that you can’t find any motivation to keep going. It’s like you’re stuck in one place, and you feel incapable of making even a single step forward.

4. You can’t fall asleep at night.

It usually happens with people who tend to overthink and overanalyze every single thing that happened throughout the day. Your headspace fills up with various scenarios that will probably never happen, but you still feel the need to look up at every possible situation.
5. You feel constant dizziness.
Feeling lightheaded all the time can also be a sign of emotional exhaustion. This way, your body is telling you that something is not right. Even when you have a nutritious diet, drink your water, and go to the gym three times a week, you can still experience nausea caused by your mental health issues.
6. You feel like crying for no reason.
In times of mental fatigue, you can often feel like the whole world is against you. Your increased vulnerability turns you into a highly sensitive person, which often leads to you crying for no apparent reason. The smallest provocation can make you burst into tears. If this helps, know that crying is your body’s way of soul-cleansing.
7. You become indifferent.
After the period of crying passes by, you become apathetic to things that once inspired you. Not only you couldn’t be less motivated, but you also have no intention to do something to improve your damaged mental state and the situation that causes it. At this point, you lose all hope that your life could get better, so you become numb to both good and bad.
In case you experience even a small negative change in your mental state, make sure you give yourself time to slow down and unwind. If it’s not your body but your soul that’s tired, you need to take a step back and start working on healing your emotional wounds. You have the power to survive all the challenges life brings you.

Do you feel like you’re only half-way there? Are your emotions changing from letting you believe you’re head over heels for someone to making you doubt you have a future with that person?
The truth is that casual relationships are not everyone’s cup of tea.
For instance, those prone to getting attached too easily should avoid engaging in such an almost relationship at any cost. Their precious little hearts will be torn into pieces once reality strikes, and they realize the other person was never as emotionally invested as them.
But if you’re looking for someone you can have fun with for a while, without taking any responsibilities, a casual relationship is just what you need. There are no strings attached, no broken promises, no expectations. Just, please, make sure you and your partner are on the same page. If you’re not sure an almost relationship is right for you, better be honest with yourself.
Here are 6 things you need to consider before getting involved in an almost relationship:
1. Make up your mind.
The first thing you need to do is decide for yourself whether you want to fully commit to this person, or you just want to have fun. Do you expect the connection between you two to turn into a relationship, or do you simply enjoy that special someone’s company and nothing else? Are your feelings for them real and all-consuming? Once you make up your mind and figure out what you want, you need to communicate it with the one involved. Otherwise, you’re doing nothing but playing with their feelings.
2. Set clear boundaries and guard them well.
Every relationship, even an almost one, needs boundaries. You and your partner both need to know what lines you should never cross. Whenever there’s an issue between you two, regardless of its size, you must talk it through. If you don’t set defined limits, your partner wouldn’t know whether their actions are fine by you, or they are crossing a certain line. Therefore, being angry at your significant other for disrespecting boundaries they have no idea about is simply unthoughtful.
3. Know when to say ‘No!’
Being able to stand up for yourself and refuse to follow someone else’s rules when they defy your personal boundaries is crucial. On the contrary, complying with your partner’s needs only to avoid conflicts is never a wise decision. To avoid being part of an almost relationship, you need to know when to say ‘No!’ and when it’s okay to make a compromise. Never forget that romantic bonds need to be based on partnership, not ownership.
4. Be real with yourself.
If you already know that this relationship of yours has no future, pretending to have a deep connection to that person will only sadden you. You know there is no commitment, nor devotion between you two, so be real with yourself and stop denying the obvious. The longer you ignore the truth, the longer you’re wasting time fooling yourself. So instead of lying to yourself, better tell yourself the bitter truth and move on.
5. Never let yourself lose self-respect.
Even if you’re in an almost relationship and you are fine with things the way they are, never sacrifice your self-respect for the sake of this bond. You are free to walk away from anything that doesn’t serve you. Neglecting your feelings, needs, and emotions only to make the other person happy should never cross your mind. No one has the right to mistreat and disrespect you, regardless of what kind or stage your relationship is at. Fight for what you know you deserve and never lose self-respect. The right one will never force you to settle for anything less.
6. Avoid engaging in typical couple activities.
If you know your relationship is temporary from the start, doing things that long-term couples usually do might hurt your feelings. Pretending to have a deep connection to someone who’s not planning to stay in your life will hurt much more than a heartbreak after they leave. In case you know that things will eventually come to an end and both of you are on the same page about that, being too emotionally invested will crush you once the reality hits. Most importantly, if you are someone that easily gets attached, please spare yourself the pain and never engage in an almost relationship in the first place.
