Who are you -- to answer anything I might ask?
Yes, you, who are you?
[[[[[As of me, who am I to ask you who you are, and if you know who you are, what serves as the foundation of your identity cognition, is it pure logic inference? Is it concrete, almost mathematical derivatives?
And, if you have any concrete answers, tell me why you do not ask yourself why mankind does not reduce its population to 20% of its actual number, even if it means that YOU would be one of those of the billions comitted to be disposed of.
And, blah, blah, blah...(ad infinitum)]]]]]

Does this man sound like he may fit the criteria, if not of Avoidant Personality Disorder, than of the Avoidant Attachment style in romantic relationships? He is in his 30s and lives with his mother. He has no avoidance when it comes to friendships with other males, but with women, he tends to become interested in women who are unavailable or unattainable. Either because they are already in a relationship or because they live in another country or state. When he does become involved with a local woman, he has erectile dysfunction the first time they become intimate. His relationships consistently only last a month, and they are few and far between. He does not approach women, he waits for them to approach him to initiate a r/ship. And then when any problem that arise in the relationship, he blames the women and becomes cold and critical. Thanks!!

I've looked up some test to do on sexual deviancy and I don't think he fits most of the situations, but he does pick fights with me about other stuff (not really what he's mad about) if he goes too long without us having sex. He does have unnatural desires (nothing illegal) The things he doesn't fit are spending money and job interference for his sexual habits.
I actually have a child with him and keeping up with his demands have gotten really hard.(We were having sex sometimes 2 or 3 times a day) I would have sex just to "stay out of trouble". Once I confronted him with my thoughts he did agree (to a certain extent) that he has sexual issues. He's been trying so hard and doing a wonderful job not being so demanding but I'm concerned because I found out recently that his sister was an exotic dancer and onwed one of those (male only) tanning salons. She's now a teacher and highly religious but I'm wondering what in their childhood might have affected them this way?

In regards to the reliability of the human senses the author says that, baring some isolated and specific exceptions, they are remarkably reliable. Unlike the lecture, the author talks about the adaptability of senses. He gives us the example of studies that take place with volunteers wearing goggles that distort there vision. During these studies after time the volunteers are able to cope effectively. He contributes this to learning and experience being a major factor in the development of perceptual abilities. He continues on the subject by talking about Jesus healing a blind man. With just vision, but no visual experience our brains don’t know how to cope. On the topic of pain the author show the great importance of our largest sense organ, skin. He explains the importance of it due to the development of infants, but he spends more time on the topic of pain. Though most of us don’t like pain the author shows us that without it we would severely damage our bodies. Pain receptors in our skin warn us that we are going to do damage and motivate us to take action. For example you touch something hot pain is felt so you take our hand away… if we didn’t have that ability instead of a simple burn we could possibly do serious damage. Most interesting to me is the importance of pain. I never thought about the ability to really harm yourself if you didn’t feel pain. I saw it more as you take the good with the bad. Another words to have the wonderful feeling of hugging my kids, I have to endure pain of spilling hot coffee on myself because both occasions use the sense organ skin. I would also like to learn more about people with Hansen’s disease.

There are alot of people who are depressed in this economy and they can't afford counselors and medications because their depression is due to financial lacking.

What can a person do to aleviate this kind of depression?

Obvious answers like "get a job" will be ignored. If the answers were that simple, we wouldn't need to ask the question.

I do understand that some people get to the brink of no return that they feel like life is not worth living...I understand that part...I also understand how many people in this world suffer from depression and the growing population on anti-depressants

I am sorry as I don't understand and have never been to this point of actually doing it...but if I were for some cracked up reason wanted to end my life...believe me I would be successful and I would go out with a blast like....

1. Go skydiving and not pull the string...but wait...this is a nice rush of adrenaline...I want to do this again.
2. Ride a racing crotch rocket motorcycle as fast as I could..but wait #1 applies.
3. Go ride a 25' wave on the North Shore of Hawaii...wait #1 applies again.

Too much in life to still experience...and I will live on the edge of danger that could end my life but I would never want to end it on purpose...

So some of you who have experience these feelings...please explain to me..

I don't remember how it began, but the gist of it was i died. However i was still able to communicate with people in my dream. Me and My wife choose which suit i was going to wear and neither one of us showed any emotion. We then went to the funeral home. I was getting dressed in the back room and I could here everyone gathering for my funeral. They let the immediate familiy into the room I was to be viewed. so I walked into the room so I could get into the casket. Everone could see me walking in and they where consoling me, then I went to hug my mother and we both lost it. I then woke up and had an overwhelming feeling that if i would have got in the casket i would have died and not woke up.

Any thoughts. Thanks for your insights.

When im laying in bed usually when im quite tired or really relaxed i start to hear voices. Not the type telling me to do things or saying my name or anything like that. Its a bit like your in a busy pub .. you can hear people but not really understand what they are saying! The other night it was a womens voice but because i was so tired i cant remember what she was saying. It was like she was talking to me but i wasnt really listening almost like a background conversation..!
But i do remember thinking of words or picking up on words and then she would carry on... so it did feel almost like i was talking to her but wasnt! really strange.. trying to describe as best i can!! totally weird.! I dont recognise the voice to anyone I know either! i dont feel like im talking to myself as i would of thought the voices would be clear... so does anyone know or have experience of this?
please let me know if you think i need to see a shrink!!

When I am at walmart taking a walk with someone else and my neice, I sometimes let her ride on my shoulders. I hold on to her legs

Whenever I do that people stare at her with blank stares no smile or whatever.

She's only 22 months old(almost 2), and she can run, walk and balance herself and sit upright perfectly.

You know nobody criticizes angelina and brad pitt for carrying Zahara on their shoulders!

So why do people stare?
