Social Science - 3 January 2007

So, right now I am trying to recover from a break up that is breaking my heart. I feel so alone and desire the love and the love that I gave to the man that I was with. But that brings me to just trying to make myself a better person in general. I am trying to think positively about this situation and use it for the best.

So, one of the things that I have contemplated before getting back with my ex or trying to move on with someone else is getting to know who I truly am.

How does one get to know who he/she truly is? Especially, I feel that I try to learn and my views begin to change (not that I am fickle, but I know that I or anyone can be wrong about different things and that there is a gray area).

So really? What makes a person who they truly are even though a person changes and is so influenced by their environment and also genetics?

Feminists have basically overturned the right of presumption of innocence in courts, but only for men.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presumption_of_innocence

In the US, this follows from the 5th, 6th and 14th amendments.

As a basic human right it is included in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 11:

http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html

"Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defence."

Feminists have long lobbied for men to have to PROVE what steps they took to ensure consent prior to intercourse with a woman.

In other words, he has to prove he is innocent. She has to prove nothing under any circumstances.

Seeing as how the studies by the Airforce and a peer reviewed public journal showing 40-60% of rape accusations are false couldn't be refuted logically by feminists here, this becomes all the more relevant.

My question is Based on an actual study on plants that grew and flourished, that listened to Classical, spiritual and jazz music. Should the walls in prison be painted pink to relieve anger and stress? Remember, these people will be coming back into the main stream public, don't you think it's worth a try?

I had sex recently about five times and it was really lousy, I kept wondering what the guy was doing to me, I liked the guy very much and couldn't understand why I wasn't responding. Now I hate sex, but still having those feelings, what is wrong. I need answers from anyone with experience or who knows anyone who has gone thru this!!

Why can't I get my mind over this.Life just doesn't seem to be worth living.. I can't deal with fear so overwhelming that its debilitating.I go to therapist ,take meds and try hard everyday .At this moment i would rather be doing something other than just posting why questions and just can't seem to shake this fear of something happening.. What can I do to rid myself and get control of my life back.I don't want to live like this..I hate it.. Its sad and a a waste.. I want to think of happy things, laugh again, and not worry.. Why is this happening to me..?

Seriously, I over think EVERYTHING all of the time. I just need a way to stop everything in my head constantly chattering, it makes me almost paranoid sometimes. I just want to have fun but my brain won't let me, I can't go through with normal relationships because I'm in my head to much.

Is there like a tea I can drink? a song I can sing? a needle shoved into my arm?(acupuncture, not drugs)

I have this thing where if something happens to side of me, the same thing has to happen to the other. For example, if I touch something cold with one hand, I have to touch it with the other hand. If I hit one hand, I have to inflict the same pain on the other. If I step on a carpet with one foot, I have to step on the carpet with the other. And the worst is when someone touches one arm, and I either ask them to touch the other arm in the same spot or quickly touch that spot on both arms with another object. It's messed up. I hate it. It's not that I think something bad is going to happen if I don't do these things. And sometimes I think it is maybe an obsession with symmetry, but I part my hair on the side and that doesn't seem to bother me! Any idea what my deal is? Any suggestions for help?

Do you think this is the opposite of giving the benefit of the doubt? Meaning you doubt something about someone, so you're going throw out any chances for the person or you doubt someone would do something... What is your interpretation of that line?

As a psychology student, I have read a lot of research saying that many young (20-something) couples are living together before marriage and that it is a positive trend which helps improve the couple's chance at avoiding divorce. I am wondering what experience you have had with living together before marriage or not?

I am currently in a serious relationship. We've been together for over 2 years and we literally fit like puzzle pieces together. For various reasons, I have ended up staying in his family's home for a month to three months at various times. It always goes well in terms of privacy and personal space. I don't have a car, so we REALLY had to share a lot of time during our busy schedules.

I am curious to hear what other college age people, as well as long-married adults, all have to say about this? Any specific positive or negative experiences?
