Social Science - 7 June 2006

I have a friend that says she doesn't like to be touched by someone she doesn't know. Even the most passive/innocent contact from a stranger causes her anxiety.

Psychologically, what could this fear be a result of?

I have been charged at work with providing a unique question to a group of people. One that will make people think about their answer and give an insight into the person they are. We have had:

Tell us something about you no one knows?
What is the most unusual food you have eaten?
Most successful negotiation?
Two records you would take on a deserted island?

I am hitting a brick wall trying to find a very unique question. Any ideas?

Thanks

someone told me that people can be highly insecure and doubtful of themselves and yet still have a big ego? Is that to safe-guard their pride?

"Whether I think GOOD about me or BAD about me, i still always think about ME!!" Do you agree that it is human instinct to always be focused on self -- whether good or bad?

Mine is Brigida. (It's Italian) People always pronounce it "bridg-ee-duh" but it's "brig-ih-da". I like it. Does anyone else have a really weird uncommon middle name?

Looking at the behaviour and thinking of human beings, you come to realize the difference between people and the power they naturaly posses.Some people are funny and have sense of humor while others are the type that says DON'T COME NEAR ME or i will bite you.
Now the thing is,can someone develop that sense of humor,be witty and sponteneous?
