in the past year ive been through a lot, including being a new mom, losing my fiance to another woman , and my boyfriend just died... i lost it the day i found out that he was gone, but 2 days later, i dont feel anything. im sad, but i feel like i should be a lot more upset. im trying to force myself not to think. but then i force myself to think about it, because im kind of scared that i will just push it all out now, and then be really messed up later. do you think this is normal? or am i as insensitive as i feel ?

I ask this question because I am 22, I have lived my life outside of my home as an introvert, always quiet and calm, but at home with my family I am a extrovert, always expresssing myself, i am quite hot tempered, and quick to make jokes, but as soon as I leave my home, I become quiet, which is who I really am, this affects my life severely and I have noticed it since I was about 16 but it never really bothered me until now, this is a problem, because I come off as quiet to many people, then when I try to voice my self it is pretty freakin awkward, but as soon as I go home, I can talk with my parents and everything comes out fine, it takes me a good while to get to know people and develop friendships because of this problem, I consider myself very kind and understanding, but I think because I am quiet people perceive me as cold, or something I am a not, this affects my whole life, girls, socializing, school, is this a problem or the beginning to a serious problem?

I have been trying to figure out what "me" is.

If I can figure it out, it will help understand how to prolong life.

I know I am, and I know I am me, but:

I think of me in my body. Were I to have my arms and legs cut off, they would cease being me, yet I still am.

Were all my body cast away and my brain was on life support, still, I am.

But the brain is not me. I am, and I am independent, with my own thoughts and desires.

Where do these thoughts and desires come from? How am I me?

What makes me think, know that I am, makes me a "conscious" being, aware that I simply am?

How do I define the real me, where is the information for "me" really stored?

What is conscience?

I have been trying to figure out what makes me me, how I know that I am.

I need to teach my wife how to be more patient with the children. She is having a lot of problems with them but I think what she needs is to learn how to be more patient with them and to be more disciplined with her self. The children are learning from her. I can get them to improve their behaviour but it takes time and she is not happy either with my method (which needs patience) or the time it takes for things to improve. She beleives that I am teaching them the bad behaviour but I do not spend much time with them.

okay so where to begin. to start offever since i was about 10 i started having these dreams about this girl, who in reality i have never met, but in these dreams this girl and me had a reallly good relationship. she was the one i'm sure of it. the thing is each dream from when i was 10 to about 16, 17im now 19, was different...it almost seemed real. After about 16 the dreams stopped about her. i had no idea who this was, and i really didnt know what to make of it because to me it was just a dream..but it always has been in the back of my mind here and there. so about 4 days ago i was on this site with my buddy, he was showing me this site...like a dating site for teens. so i started roaming it and came to this profile of this girl who looked exactly like the girl in my dreams. i read of her personality and she is exactly the same as in my dreams. from the moment i saw this picture i felt an attraction i have not felt ever with a first look. did my dream mean something?

Around my house whenever my parents or my brother or I fight about anything, it always blows up into a huge fight because everyone has such a high stress level. It's pretty tense, and most of the time we are all walking on eggshells. The thing that worries me is I have a very thin skin and I cry often (on average about once a night). When I was little and I cried my parents would comfort me and bring me something to drink and things like that. They don't do that anymore, and are usually very short with me when I cry ("What the hell are you crying about, you have no reason to be crying, stop being so dramatic," etc) and lately I've been craving that sort of attention again to a frightening degree. I sometimes pretend that I'm little and they're taking care of me and this only makes me feel neglected. I've looked up some information on psychological regression, but most of it is only about hypnosis and the like. Could someone help me or please give me tips to stop this sort of behaviour?

I'm a senior on the verge of failing unless I buckle down and get on my work. My motivation is gone and I feel graduating has become this intangible or unachievable goal. How do I break down my barrier and just...get it done?

She's an overdramatic person who's doing it to herself on PURPOSE. It's not like she can't stop. She could if she wanted to. But she's always wanted the attention. She's spoiled and childish too. What should I do? Ignore her? I don't know.

Ive been having this recurring dream/nightmare for almost ten years now, Im now 23. I walk into a enclosed space, there I place three gemstones into three seperate holders/containers. I place myself in the center of the three gems, all of a sudden a bright white light envelopes my entire body. And I begin to pan out first the area I was in is enveloped in this light, then the outlying country it was in, then the planet is clearly visible then the solar system, the galaxy we reside in, then the universe itself. I am looking straight at the universe. All of a sudden everything that was enveloped in light begins to make a low screaming noise as if in excrutiating pain, it becomes louder and louder.
Then everything goes dark, no sound can be heard, no light can be seen, nothing can be felt. Absolutely nothing, just darkness.
At this point in time I have either woken up really afraid, or at other times feel like I made a correct decision with no regrets.

Do you like telling anybody about your personal life , like where you were born and your childhood, etc?

And what about telling people about your personal wishes for yourself and such?

Do you feel after you tell somebody that you feel like you been "head raped"?

Why?

I was raised to be tough! Don't let them know they've got you beaten down. I loved that song I think Carley Simon sang it. "Don't cry out loud! Just learn how to hide your feelings, Don't cry out loud just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings.I have lived my life like this. Has anyone else been taught to be tough and not to let it show? Just wondering.
