I suffer from really bad anxiety, and have had a few panic attacks. I can't go into my city centre on my own, don't really like to go anywhere on my own. I struggle with busy places, I end up feeling on edge, and like I stand out (although I don't).

I'm a manager in a bookies, so have to deal with abusive and angry men sometimes. Although I stand my ground, any sort of confrontation leaves my whole body trembling.

I hate it. I hate being scared of everything.

I used to be really bad, I wouldn't get on the bus at certain times. I used to go out of my way to get another bus home, because I didn't want to get on my usual bus. Sometimes, I wouldn't even use the usual bus stop.

I don't understand it. I feel silly, but I can't help it.

I have to feel safe, but I don't.

Anybody know what I mean?

In short, why do people covet?

Case in point, I have two daughters with a playroom full of lots of toys. All of the toys belonging to/claimed by the eldest are on the left side of the room, and those of the youngest are on the right side. But sharing toys which they are not playing with is very difficult for my eldest, and a minor issue for the youngest.

For instance, my eldest will be playing with several of her toys, and the youngest will grab another toy which belongs to the eldest, and the eldest will drop everything and run screaming for the toy which she was not even playing with, and oftentimes didn't even have a clue existed in the previous moment.

The toys don't disappear and they are never taken away from her by anyone.

Similarly, they used to have the problem of wanting to play with whatever the other was playing with, regardless of whose toy it was or if it was generally preferred much less than the toy that they were playing with previously.

In my position, i am constently working with upper management, and they view me highly because i am a great help and the regular employees view me as a brown noser. I guess you can say don't worry about it, but don't really like that type of feeling that i am that type of person. Anyway to be balanced?

I tend to be very professional and have a on-the-job mentality. Pretty much all business. As people always are messing around at work and gossip. I tend to stay away from it. Persectively, I think i am viewed as shrewd and unfriendly. Any way i can change this persona and still remain professional? Outside of work, i am completely different, very friendly and outspoken.

well, you see.
I just wanted to to point of the dangers of the "ego"!
I was interested to hear that young humans are considered parasites by some.
This is quite possibly the most offensive opinion I have ever heard.
And my reasoning is what on earth is the difference between "an adult human" and the children you call parasites.


oh so by the way, how do you exist without being a parasite?
It really intrigues me.
i must KNOW!

Have you ever met a person. woman or a man...
And within minutes, felt as if, you opened up a can..
Of emotion filled with pain and sadness,
Due to abuse, neglect, addiction?
I have, and I must say, I suffer from affliction,
Of feeling bad for the broken hearted,
Compassion for the broken spirit,
I feel compelled to help the needy,
What's your story, let me hear it!
Do you let addiction rule your life?
As your family looks past...
Are you losing everything important?
Is it happening very fast?
Is drinking causing arguments..and the misses runs away?
How bout staying sober, and loving HER today!
Do your children hear you fighting..
And turn up the t.v.?
Love can overcome all obstacles...
It seems that way to me.
If you are told that years of marriage,
Are withering like a rose...
Over a habit you need to lose.
Would you lose it or grab your clothes?

I just had a gereral psych test on freud, piagte, maslow ect...I know in one of freuds theroys, he says that what happens in our early childhood, effects our personalities, especially unresolved childhood sexual issues. But what I want to know is, what other sexual issues, BESIDES molestation/incest, would a child even have, nevertheless need reslovement?

2006-11-09 08:33:31 · 4 answers · asked by woah 2 in Psychology

Homosexuality is considered genarally admissible (al teast by the liberal western world)

Incest (I am talking about one between two consenting adults who are related) is considered illegal.

Please don't read this as anything to do with my personal life. I am a straight man who is skeptical whether either of them are genetic traits.

I find homosexuality acceptable, but consider incest as disgusting.

Is there really any difference? Of course, having inbred children is not good for the society, but taking that fact out, are the two very different? Should we treat them completely differently and have completely different laws?

It isn't all our personal feeling and opinons (of disgust and acceptance of a certain practice) just influenced by society, specifically by certain individuals who can create that influence?

I am sure this is going to touch a lot of nerves!

In my whole life I've never had a single nightmare. I was wondering if this meant anything, or if there is anyone else who doesn't have nightmares? I've always had a dreamcatcher in my bedroom- I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

I work at a local Movie Theatre and I am 17 years old. I work with several males whom I also go to school with. We are always joking around having a good time, but a lot of times they will constantly tease me. I am known as the good, Christian girl that doesn't drink/smoke etc. Well, anyways they are always teasing me, coming up and grabbing my sides or poking my sides/back, grabbing my shoulders, sexual innuendos etc. I know they are guys and it is almost expected by why are they constantly teasing me? It's always when they are together too, because when it is just us they joke around with me but not as much. One of the guys told another guy at work that he thought I was "hot and beautiful" which of course I don't believe, yet he goes out with another girl who is willing to go further than I, but they aren't together anymore. The guy that said this also comes up and hugs me at work. Is this behavior inappropriate at work and how should I take this teasing?

I know in all context that it depends on ones own perspective of what is interesting in a conversation, but its hard to find someone to have an intelligent conversation with. It's just a bunch of generic talk with it ending up saying something cliche'. The younger the generation the worse it is too. At work it's mainly gossip about who's dating who and if someone liked a movie the other night cannot even explain the simple synopsis.

This guy I go to school with has some serious mental health problems. The thing is I just can't put my finger on what it may be. I've gone through a list of mental disorders I've been educated about, but I'm stumped.

It all started his first day of class. He started to spread rumors about numerous people. When you go up to him to ask what's wrong/ his problem, he acts as if he doesn't remember doing/saying anything! A couple days later my boyfriend bumped into him by accident the guy snapped. He said "Bump me again I'll sue you...take your car, but I'll let you drive it sometime." WTF? I asked him what his problem was, and his response was "Huh...What did I say?" What's wrong with this kid?
