Not everyone will like you even if you are sweeter than a candy.

People will hate you for no reason and while this should not worry, a boss who hates you can make your working environment unbearable.

How your boss treats you will definitely affect your performance and this will only give them more reasons to hate you.

But how do you know if your boss hates you or is simply trying to get the best out of you?

Below are 7 possible signs that they hate you:

1. Continually criticizes your work

Criticism is part and parcel of every job and it’s good for growth. However, if your boss sees nothing good from you and is ever criticizing whatever you do no matter how hard you try, then they honestly don’t like you.

2. Micro-managing

Micro-managers are no doubt the worst people in any working environment. While some bosses are micro managers in nature, you need to give it a second thought if you are the only person being micromanaged.

That little person inside you hardly lies. If you have a feeling that your boss dislikes you, then it’s very possible that indeed they do.

4. Direct to the point

While you should remain professional at work, it’s never that serious sometimes. But if your boss is ever straight to the point even during briefs and chats that are supposed to be casual, there must be a problem. This is especially so if they engage other employees in a friendly manner.

5. You do jobs no one wants to do

When your boss hates you, he will give you the responsibilities that no one else would accept to do. Even if it’s not part of your job description, they will make you in charge of serving coffee or clearing the mess after everyone has eaten.

6. Humiliates you in public

A good boss will correct you with patience and in private.<a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/bi/strategy/4-ways-to-handle-a-boss-who-yells-at-you-in-front-of-everyone-id8809404.html" id="2298f3b4-c456-558e-b3d7-7b22c869b039"> But if your boss scolds you and humiliates you in front of your colleagues, they are simply bullying you because they hate you.</a>

7. Never agree with you

You can never be always wrong. But even when you are 100% right, a boss who hates you will always get a reason to disagree with you.

Not everyone will like you though

<h1>There is nothing like a perfect relationship. Each relationship has some hurdles to be jumped regardless of how flawless it may seem.</h1>

But then, some relationships are so full of problems such that nothing good seems to come out ofthem. Such are the toxic type and you need a savior if you are in one of them.

Some common signs of a toxic relationship include:

1. Lack of emotional support

Your partner should be your cheerleader number one and the soft spot to fall on whenever you are going through a rough time. But if they can’t do this anymore, <a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/lifestyle/relationships-weddings/reasons-why-you-should-stay-single-id8633786.html" id="25dada13-ddef-5e4b-94c8-3e8f70cb092f">it means you are as good as being single.</a>

It can never be all smooth but then if drains you both emotionally and physically, you need rescue before it’s too late. A relationship shouldn’t feel as hard as trying to crack some programming codes.

3. You are ever fighting

You will not always agree with your partner. So, fights are bound to be there but not 24/7. If you are ever fighting even over the simplest of things, your relationship is in danger.

4. It’s one way

A healthy relationship should be a two way traffic. No one should feel like they are always the ones giving while the other person is always taking and never giving back.

5. You seek help elsewhere

In a healthy relationship, you should be free to discuss the most intimate things with your partner. If you find yourself seeking help from other people, something is definitely amiss.

Trust is the foundation of every successful relationship. Once it’s lost in a relationship, then the relationship is treading to the wrong path.

Relationships are all about making efforts and sacrifices. You make an effort to show love to your partner, to show you care and spend time with them. When things are wrong, you make the effort to make them right.

You need rescue

9 clear signs that you are in a toxic relationship

<h1>Usually, no one wakes up and decides to bring their life to an end from the blues.</h1>

The process begins early only that we may never notice it.

As the world celebrates the World Suicide Prevention Day today, it’s important to know some of the signs of someone who is suicidal. This way, we can help prevent more deaths by reaching out to anyone with such signs.

Check out some common signs that suicidal people have:

1. Verbal warnings

Although not everyone will talk about their plans to end their lives, some will. And sadly, we hardly take it serious. When someone says things like ‘life is not worth it’, ‘I wish I was not born’, ‘I am tired of trying’, ‘no one understands me’ or even goes ahead to warn that they will commit suicide, things are definitely not juicy. When they don’t get help, such people end up committing suicide.

2. Excessive moodiness

If you notice a person is suddenly changing their moods, they could be in trouble. The moods may change from extreme sadness to extreme anger for no apparent reason.

Many youths have committed suicide due to hopelessness. If someone repeatedly shows their hopeless and helpless state, they could be suicidal. Such a person will say of how tired they are of trying to get a job, and they are pessimistic about tomorrow.

This a major sign of someone who is suicidal. They prefer being alone and avoid being with friends, family and being in any social activities. Try reaching out to such a person and see if they need help.

5. Change in behavior and personality

A person who has plans to commit suicide may change their behavior and even their appearance. They may no longer mind their words or observe hygiene probably because they no longer care about life.

1. Anal discharge. This could be experienced both in men and women who engage in anal sex. The rectum may also be swollen causing you pain when passing stool.

2. Painful sex. This is common among women because the vagina and the cervix could be swollen making them extra sensitive.

3. Bleeding. Vaginal bleeding during sex and in between periods is common among women because the cervix might bleed due to the infection.

<h1>When a woman loves, she can do anything to have and keep a man.</h1>

It’s said that women love with their hearts while men love with their heads. Anyway, it could be the reason as to why women fall so deeply in love.

Why one would be willing to work day and night to try and win a man who is not ready to be kept is a different matter altogether.

But here are some ridiculously crazy things women will do when they want to win and keep a man:

This is to the extreme but it does happen. When a woman is so much into a man and the man doesn’t seem to be in love, the woman may opt for witch craft to win the man over. Recently, <a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/entertainment/hamisa-mobetto-s-first-statement-after-witchcraft-audios-id8813162.html" id="37eb631e-1777-5509-9b34-819635e2c736">Hamisa Mobetto allegedly visited a witch doctor to win Diamond Platinumz. </a>But is it really worth all hustles and dramas of a witch doctor?

2. Getting pregnant

So you think that getting pregnant for him will make him love you more and stick to you? Sorry. If he is gonna go, he is gonna go for sure. This is a gross mistake women make all in the effort to keep a man who probably is already decided. Fortunately, some men choose to stay for the sake of the baby.

3. Suicide threats

Ladies will make threats of how they will commit suicide if you leave them. While this strategy may make a man stay, it will definitely not be the best relationship. He will only stay because he does not want you to commit suicide but not because of love. You don’t want to live with a person who doesn’t love you, do you?

4. Changing your appearance

Women with esteem issues will bleach, undergo plastic surgery and adopt some styles just to win a man. But a man who loves you should love you without undergoing a breast implant or bleaching. So, even if you changed your appearance such that you shine like the stars, he will still pack and leave if he wants to.

5. Introducing him to relatives

Unless you are so certain that the man will marry you, you should never rush to introduce your boyfriend to your relatives. Introducing him seems like a great way to let him know that you are damn serious about taking the relationship to the whole level. Sadly, this either will not keep him.

Younger women get it too

Breast cancer is no longer an old women disease. Younger women in their 20s and 30s are also getting breast cancer. Always be on the lookout for any strange changes on your breasts and see a doctor if it raises concern.

Find out if any your relatives suffered from the disease so that you can try and reduce the risk.

Breast cancer is not a sure death sentence and it’s treatable especially when diagnosed early. Know your breasts well enough so that you can easily detect any weird changes. Also, examine your breast frequently to detect any changes such as a lump, soreness or abnormal tenderness.

The lump is not always cancer

While examining yourself, you may feel some lumps but they must not be cancerous. So, don’t freak out first if you feel a lump. The lumps could simply be cysts which are fluid-filled and completely non-cancerous.

<h1>Marriage is meant to be a lifetime affair and is definitely not meant for everyone.</h1>

But if marriage is your thing, you got to be careful when choosing your life partner. You do not want to start asking for a divorce as soon as you get into the union.

A woman is a powerful pillar in the family unit and can make the marriage last or fall apart depending on her personality and character.

If you are looking forward to having a great wife and family in the near future, never marry these types of women:

1. Materialistic one

You need someone who can stand by you in bad and good times equally. If a woman is materialistic, she will leave you when you are broke and get a richer man. Try and observe her closely when courting to know whether she is the gold digger type. If she, is, run and don’t look back.

5 types of women you should never marry

<h1>If your bladder has gone out of control and you can no longer hold urine, you could be suffering from urinary incontinence.</h1>

This health condition weakens your bladder muscles and it can get embarrassing since urine can leak whenever you sneeze or cough. It’s common among women as well as elderly people.

In severe cases, you experience an urgent need to pee and you may not get to the toilet in time. It’s however, not a disease but a symptom of an underlying problem or simply resulting from daily habits.

Check out some of the common causes of urinary incontinence:

1. Foods and drinks

Whatever you take down your gut could be the reason your bladder has lost control. Diuretic drinks such caffeine, alcohol and chocolate trigger your bladder to produce more urine and it might get out of hand. Foods rich in spices and certain medications may also lead to urinary incontinence.

As you age, the bladder muscles weaken and reduce their capacity to hold urine. Involuntary bladder contractions also become common as you age hence losing control of your bladder. <a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/lifestyle/beauty-health/what-really-happens-to-your-body-when-you-hit-30-id8735257.html" id="d098accd-073d-5c19-89b3-09cf95328036">See some of the things that happen to your body when you turn 30.</a>

Women who have had vaginal birth are at a higher risk of experiencing urinary incontinence. This is because the muscles that support the bladder, the nerves and the tissues may be weakened or damaged during birth.

The hormonal changes experienced during pregnancy and the pressure exerted by the fetus may make it hard to control your bladder.

Other factors that may lead to a loose bladder include; obesity, urinary tract infection, kidney stones, menopause or surgeries such as hysterectomy.

It can be really embarrassing

<h1>So your relationship is hitting the next level and you are just about to move in with bae.</h1>

It’s such a commendable progress and a sign that your relationship is headed somewhere. However, in as much as you cannot wait to move in with your partner, you need to be prepared for it.

Here are some things you need to know before moving in together:

1. You will have to compromise

<a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/lifestyle/relationships-weddings/commandments-of-dating-a-sponsor-id8807619.html" id="465b5d64-9b28-54fe-87ec-146ab93d8363">Relationships are all about making compromises and you will have to do it more if you are planning to move in with your fiancé.</a> You may have to change your eating habits, sleeping hours and the programs you watch for the sake of your partner.

You may not need to write down any rules but you need to come up with the rules of the house. This way, it will be easier for both of you to avoid disagreements. Simple things such as clearing the table after meals may seem very mundane but can stir up everything. Make it clear on who should clear the table, where to put the dirty shoes and such.

You were used to your freedom but now it will be limited after moving in. You cannot go wherever you want and whatever time you feel like once you move in with your partner. So if you are the partying type, you may have to work on that unless your partner has no problem with it.

4. You will discover hidden sides

We all have some hidden side that may not be revealed unless you are living with someone. So, be sure that you are ready to have some of your dark sides exposed. If you are the lazy type, clumsy, pathetic cook, or snore when sleeping, your partner will soon know it.

5. The money talk

Most people shy away from discussing money issues in relationships. But if you are planning to move in, this is a must. You have to lay everything on the table, know how much you both need and decide on who pays for what bills.

6. Make a breakup plan

No one wants to talk of breaking up. But life happens and you can never be sure of whether you will be together for life. So, make a plan and agree on what to do and how to share whatever you have in case you ever break up.

7. You will step on each other’s toe

You may both feel like you are too much in love to ever fight. But now that you will be living under the same roof, you are more likely to have differences. So be prepared for ugly scenes and learn how to solve your disagreements before you make the major step.

<h1>Masturbation is definitely not a topic to be discussed over dinner with your parents but it’s something people are doing.</h1>

People hold all manner of beliefs about masturbation but it’s time we debunk those myths.

Here are some myths you need to stop believing about masturbation:

1. Only men masturbate

Masturbation is commonly associated to men simply because more men do it. But this is not to say that women do not masturbate. <a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/lifestyle/sex-7-reasons-why-you-shouldnt-masturbate-id6195537.html" id="d60e1392-ebef-556e-923d-b4ee92dbb399">Although very few people will admit to engaging in solo sex, both men and women do it for pleasure.</a>

2. It kills your sex drive

This is a misconception that instills fear in you so that you do not masturbate. But the truth is, there is no scientific evidence to prove that masturbating ruins your sex drive. As a matter of fact, masturbating helps you know your body well so that you can enjoy your sex life more even when you are with your partner.

3. Masturbation causes erectile dysfunction

This is another big lie. Erectile dysfunction results from health problems such as stress, depression, obesity, diabetes, heart diseases among others. So, if you have other reasons not to masturbate, erectile dysfunction should not be one of them.

4. It causes male infertility

It’s so scary that one would become infertile just because of masturbating. But this is just another misconception about masturbation probably spread to discourage men from indulging in solo sex. How frequent you masturbate has no effect on your ability to impregnate a woman.

5. Masturbation will desensitize you

Having solo sex will never take away your sensual feelings. You might feel a little bit numb after using the vibrator but everything comes back to normal after a while. It’s the same feeling you have after having a satisfactory sex and the senses get back together shortly after.

6. It’s for single people
