Neurotic In A Good Way

Neurotics In A Crisis

  • As many people felt powerless and confused during the lockdown months, people with neurotic behaviour were controlled, vigilant, and coped up better than the laid back personalities.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
