i never break rules, like i never speed when i drive, i never do drugs, i dont swear, i am never mean to anyone, i always am good cos im scared of the consequences of being bad. but see im scared so it feels like im holding back. does being good pay off, i will remain the same but do you think life is too short to be sticking to the rules? i think of this as my partner is the opposite, he takes alot of risks and nothing bad ever happens to him

If you were an able bodied individual with a desire to die, could you go face down in a couple feet of water and kill yourself? Will the human "survival instinct" always be stronger than one' s death wish? Living requires lifting your head, suicide requires holding the head down. Is it possible?

I love Luiza L. Hey, but want to find more material on that. Particularly, I'm interested in books to boost self-esteem and confidence.

im only young so i look back and wonder how i got thru high school with all the pressures that came along with it. emotions were mutiplied by thousands. it was so important to be at the next party or be dating someone. i could never re-do high school, no way! but the hardest thing that ive had to face was learning to love myself and not be dependant on a male to make me happy in order to attract the right kind of relationship!

not spiders or snakes! I mean the real one. The one that lives in the back of your mind and that you might even be afraid to admit you have.

I live in a small ski town. Like many others it's growing fast. The problem is that rich outsiders are rushing to town buying land, out of place mansions and second houses. Its all cheaper than where they came from but still expensive for locals. The price of land and housing is rising fast. The town has too few jobs that would allow a local to make enough money to afford a house. Many people here are either in construction jobs making other peoples houses or low paying service jobs. Its as if we're having the town bought out from under us. What types of high paying jobs would be good to try to attract to our town? People always say high tech but I just worked for a successful online retail store (website) where super geeky smart people only made $10 an hour.

I'm currently a psych major with aspirations to be either a clinical or counseling psychologist. In regard to existential matters, I am an agnostic. Religion plays no role in my lifestyle or decision making. I've had one professor tell me that being non-religious may be an asset because it could facilitate objectivity. And I've had another professor tell me that being non-religious may leave me unable to relate to many clients who draw hope from their religion. So I'm undecided. What do you think? Would you want a faithless psychologist?

If someone believed that we exist within a simulated enviroment, perhaps on some supercomputer in a different world, how would that person be classified professionally?

Note that I'm not interested in a -phobia (unless one explicitly defines this belief), I'm looking for something along the lines of -iac (as in hypochondriac) or -ive (as in compulsive).

I heard one time that if you dug a hole 20 miles deep and 20 miles long and placed a dollar every second into the hole, that it would take 20 years to fill up. Is that so?

Sticky situation here. I am in the process of a divorce. I ran into my former ex bf from 5 years ago and we hooked up. Here is where it gets sticky. His house burned down shortly after we fought about nothing. He moved in with his ex wife and it's been purely like roommates. His ex and I are like friends. So, we've been seeing each other for a while now. We made a mistake and went too far, from which I could be pregnant. He called me later on that day and said that he will do whatever I want, including moving in together. I think he's already started that, becuase he phoned me saying that his ex turned out to be jealous and that she had given him three weeks to move out. He wants this to go as smoothly as possible, so he asked me not to call for a couple of weeks to avoid any more trouble. I know for a fact they are not doing anything from knowing his ex so well and having gotten close. The three weeks thing, is he really working no getting out or is he running?

When someone advocates something yet does not follow what they advocate, what is going through their mind?
For example, a religious person who preaches morals and Jesus talk and all that, but then goes out and has premarital sex, and drinks, and breaks all the commandments and laws that they supposedly stand for. Then this same person has the audacity to condemn other people to "hell" for their "sins". What is going through their mind at that moment? Do they not realize that they are hypocrites and that they are the ones who are guilty? I don't get how people can be like that.
Yes, I gave a religious example. It's just an expample.No, I am not religious. Don't ask me "Why do you care then?" Just because I am not religious does not mean that I am not affected by them and their manipulative hypocritical ways. So if you're going to attack me, maybe you shoud first ask yourself, "What would 'Jesus' do?"
I just want to know about hypocrisy and the psychological aspects of it.
