Note I'm not asking if you can make someone do something they don't want to do. I'm asking if hypnosis can be used to change their perception of you.

So if they think you're dull, can you make them think you're sharp. If they think you're ugly can you make them think you're attractive. If they think you're timid, can you make them think you're confident.

That kind of thing.

When watching movies and playing video games (fictional worlds), I always get emotionally involved, and that kind of involvment lasts for long. I can't realize the emotional association with the ral world. The fact that I can't just dive and stay into fictional worlds causes depression and panic. How come?

Sometimes I feel like I've had Lucid Dreams where I could fly. Or breathe under water. Or do a number of things. I've even had lucid dreams where I could levitate small objects with enough concentration using telekinesis. Has anyone ever experienced it and can offer advice?

I'm writing my first satire.Tell me what you think of the intro please------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Late on a balmy summer's evening, a few hours before the events that led to the destruction of the world began, I arrived at the city of Lundda. Word has it that this was the greatest city in the world.
That night I was quite happy with the way everything went. The city wasn't as costly as I had expected and I managed to taste some of its legendary joys. That included feverish sex with one of those famous Lunddan prostitutes and getting drunk on the finest spirits I'd ever tasted. I went to bed utterly satisfied with the way things were going.
As I laid my head on the pillow I revised my plans for the next day. I would wake up early, have a quick breakfast, pay the innkeeper, then go searching for the city's best breeder from whom I would buy a couple of blue hairy beasts, healthy male and female capable of mating------

but ignore the massive female infanticide the killing of millions of female children in Hindu India and in China? Why do they focus on rape cases like Amina Lawal and Muktar Mai and Darfur raped by Muslim men in Muslim countries but ignore the mass rape of Muslim women in Gujurat, India in 2002 by Hindus or In Checyna by Russian Christians or in Bosnia and Kosovo by Serbian Christians?

With the New Year approaching, I'd like to make a resolution to do more to make sure that the money I spend doesn't go straight into the pockets of the very rich. Therefore, I'm trying to find out more about fair trade companies with a good reputation.

Are there any well-known companies that divide profits in an equitable way, making sure that the people who actually manufacture or produce their goods are paid a fair amount for their labor? Are there less well-known companies that offer goods at a competitive rate or quality while nevertheless engaging in "fair trade" practices? What companies offer "fair trade" goods online?

Also, what American companies pay their employees well and offer health insurance benefits rather than underemploying and underpaying them like Wal-Mart does? What American companies are the worst offenders when it comes to doing everything they can to keep their employees from earning better pay and basic benefits?

I work with people who are Mentally Retarded and I am sick of people saying I shouldn't use the word retarded in my daily language because it's not socially appropriate or politically correct. The clients I have are my equals on this planet, I have the utmost respect for people of all abilities. But I also do not feel that things should be sugar coated to make people more comforatable. I am straight forward and do not hold my clients hands through life. We all have things to over come and if we pretend they don't exist we never over come them. People have forgotten that retarded is a word that can be used for a lot of different things and it is not degrading, but descriptive. It means to be stunted, underdeveloped, or immature. Why should I not call someone who is clinically "Mentally Retarded" (diagnosis in thier medical files), exactly what they are? There is no medical diagnosis or mental health services that can be attained if someones labeled "a little slow".

Ok see i was abused and neglected as a child and i am now 22 and decided to try councellin again. it only was 2 meetings my first was decideing who i needed to forgive my second was forgiving them. I think i need to have some more meetings because i have a lot of trouble on how to view love and see God as father and some trouble trusting. i had a dream a reallu long time ago that the leaders i was with took me in a room and prayed and interceeded for me and i came out healed cuz God reached inside and took out stuff and replaced it with his love. but maybe that was just what i wanted i dunno. Anyways do u think i am right in that i need more councelling or is it just between god and i?

What's it like being a psychologist?

I've read that it's a huge field, what exactly are all the different types/levels of psychology?

What're some of the challenges you've faced as a psychologist and how have you overcome them?

What are the positives and negatives of pursuing a career in this field?

What qualities do you think a psychologist should have?

How much studying is required to become a psychologist?

What makes this a worthy career to pursue? Rewards/benefits?

Any other information I should know that I didn't ask about?

I know I have a lot of questions, but I'd REALLY appreciate it if you would take the time to answer all the ones you can! It'd be a lot of help to a confused freshman in high school. I'm really interested in psychology and my friends say that I sound like one sometimes. Thanks for your time and I wish you all the best for a happy new year! ^_^

I've been depressed for a long time. I cry a lot, I always look upset, always anxious. I can't sleep and i eat too much. I even attempted to commit suicide, luckily i can't becuase I love my family.Because of those, I can't focus on my studies. I tried to ask help from my friends but they dont seem to understand, or maybe they dont want to.

I dont know whats wrong with me, but i know that i just need someone to talk to. But the problem is, no one would want to talk to me. "Who would want to talk about crazy stuff?" Thats probably what they say in their heads. I took some depression tests, and guess what? I got perfect score!

But here's the worse part. It may sound crazy, but I would always tell myself that im satan's son. That i should call him "father" and that I'm destined to come back home to hell. It may sound crazy but that's how I describe myself now.

There are still a lot more but I wish you could help me, what should I do? Please... I really need your help, Thanks..
