Talking for me is like pretending. When I talk to others it feels usless, unnurshing, empty, non sastyfying, dry and boring and I feel very INSINCERE. It affects All my social relationships because its makes it impossible for me to really really connect with people. I also feel pain because I feel I am trapped inside myself and do not know how to stimulate or express myself through talking or acting? I feel I am an outgoing person deep deep inside, but do not how to bring out my exterior nature. It seems that I am an extreme case of an interior person.

Do you know what I'm talking about? If so, what is it and what can I do about this problem to fix it? I'm not looking for sympathy, just give me your best educated guess. Thanks a Million.

Points that may help in assesment
I'm a young adult women.

like the one in Kansas City that's given away 1.3 million dollars, what would you look for in potential "givees" My kids and I want to do this on a much smaller scale, and want to give it to someone who really needs it. What kind of person would you look for, and why?

Books which relate to certain areas of chemical imbalance in childrens brains. Such as disorders & child narcissism, medicines & treatments. I am very interested in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, if anyone knows some good books I can get at the Public Library on this subject, please let me know.

to the question?

2006-11-20 06:10:06 · 21 answers · asked by Anonymous in Psychology

my BF has been saying to all his friends and myself since June that he wanted to quit drinking. Well, it's November, and he is a lot better (down to 2-3 times a week/ 3 beers per day tops) but I was really hoping for success sooner. For the sake of his happiness... and also so that I can feel closer to him knowing he's sober like I am now.

Is there anything a supportive GF can do to help him quit? He sort of wants to, but either addiction or depression is holding him back...

Most people will just say that a psychiatrist has an MD and can prescribe medicine, while a psychologist can't. Thats true but thats really too basic.

Can anyone give a more detailed explanation?

I do not put things off till the last minute as much as I used to, but I do it enough to get on my nerves. I was thinking that procrastination and laziness might go hand in hand. Or, they might feed on one another. I heard on the HBO show "Deadwood" a great quote. "Why put off doing something tomorrow that I can put off till the day after tomorrow?"
