For example, I went to the opticians recently and whilst undergoing my routine exam, he kept saying, "Look to the right for ME, look to the left for ME", etc. Some of my work colleagues use this when they're on the phone to people. They'll say, "Can you spell that for ME? Can you check that for ME? What does all this for ME mean?

I have had serious social problems since I was a young child. I fear that it is getting worse and I do not know why; Even at work I find myself uncomfortable with certain situations, even if im on the telephone. I forget what to say and I end up studdering and pausing sometimes to not even finish what I wanted to say. I will stand-up friends sometimes to go as far as not answer the phone or door just to avoid a normal social event. If anyone can offer advise it would be greatly appreciated.

i tried to discuss a problem with a therapist a few years back, but i couldnt get them to come out from behind a professional fascade.
they were unwilling to give me a soundingboard of their life experience with which i could gain some insight into where i was going wrong.
now i know about being proffessionally detached , but if my issue was something to do with the norms of communication, and getting a take on someone elses real life experience could help me to some useful realizations about my problem, would they not be being negligent to bring that life experience to the table.
would it be being cowardly not to?[just for fear of embarassment]
would the revealing of the therapists possible limitations or inadequacies in a session instead of being aloof and invulnerable not sometimes assist the encounter ie: to meet as two people trying to explore a problem, rather than as "patient" and a person "in the know"?
i dont see how you can be "congruent", without your whole self there.

Is there a psychological term or explanation for having a dream or really wanting to experience something and when you finally get to achieve it or do it, you are left a little disappointed with it and would rather go back to having it just as dream again?

Sorry if this is confusing, I just have this on my mind atm.

Hey All,


After reading several postings by people about random questions associated directly with issues they may have. I have another friend that likes to steal packets of razors from shops and use them play around with and build model aeroplanes with when reminded about being cut his statement upon such is "one more cut to success", and I am like but of the potential risks of your arms and how sore they will be after such and he just won't listen I have advised the doctors about his behaviours but they have deemed it the norm as he can get away with it as he is not harming anyone but himself and he is weary of the dangers he is doing to himself..

I don't know if it's just me but I think that sometimes, drugs might abscure a person's will to want to kick a bad habit, in cases like this with relapsing, or violent drug addicts, Why isn't there some kind of law that states the parents of children, or spouses of drucg addicts have the legal authoirty to put them in a rehab facility where they can't leave until they have completely detoxed?

**I pondered this after watching Intervention, at the end, it always seems that the people who even willingly enter lose to their personal battles and leave treatment on free will.**

I don't go around killing anybody, but I don't feel any regret for anything I do:

For example, I stole $3000 worth of goods from cars and persuaded some-one into committing suicide. I don't feel bad.

Is there something wrong with me?
