I have a Master's Degree in Counseling and Community Psychology, and am familiar with the "Draw-A-Person" test. I was counseling a 9 year old male, and found it interesting that when he drew people (family members, himself, etc.), he drew them at the developmental drawing level of a much younger child (about 4 -- just a head, with two arms and two legs sticking out from the head. The faces only had eyes on them, not any other details--again, the steriotypical drawing of a child of about age 4.)
My guess is that this is due to his emotional immaturity, plus the social rejection and bullying he's experienced as a result of it.
He has immature reactions to social situations. His mom also babies him a lot. For example, his mom, in an attempt to help the situation, attended school with him one day (3rd grader). Instead of being mortified, he loved having her there, saying she made him feel safe.
Anyone want to weigh in on this one? Anything obvious I might be overlooking?

There are no rules you can spend the money any way you want.
Just imagine what you would do with it and what your life would be like in a year.

I had a dream. Can somebody enterpretate it? I was with my dad and he felt like eating a snake. Then I would see a long grey snake in a frying pan. As I watched it fry all of sudden I noticed it had shed away from its skin and was trying to survive inside it. I would tell myself that it didn't want to die. Then I noticed it's tail starting to bleed and then all of a sudden it's meat blossomed. Then I saw a nice big piece of white-snake meat on my dads plate surrounded by other vegetables ready to be eaten. Then I woke up.
A few days before that my husband and I got into a huge argument and he walked out. Hasn't been back since.

I am a teenager with quite a good brain but i feel like i have lost my sponge.
When i was younger i would just soak up everything that i heard and i genuinely just liked learning.
Now that i am in Grade Nine (i skipped a grade) i feel like my sponge has dried up.
I have Aspergers Syndrome if that helps.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get my sponge back

Yeah this might be quite confusing. But sometimes when I stare into the mirror or I'm lying in bed, I suddenly realize that..I am me. And I'm like aware of everything that's happening. It's almost as if your shocked to realize that you are you. And then I sort of think, why am I here? And it's so overwhelming, because you realize that you have achieved so much, to get to where you are. I don't even know how to describe the feeling.
Try it one day though. Look in the mirror, for a long time and dig deep into yourself and think. It's so crazy.

The President and Congress change the budget accordingly, but after 18 months, GDP only increased by three quarters of the expected amount. What factors might be responsible for this situation?

I have heard a voice for years. It says only the same thing--that I should die. I hear it constantly. I am not suicidal, but the repetition is wearing me down. Otherwise, I am fine. I am very happy with my life and my friends. I don't really want to do medication for this because I am otherwise quite content and I don't think I am crazy--I have had this voice since I was six. I just want it to stop. I don't want anything else to be effected. Any suggestions?

Similarly, how would it harm the city if there is too much art and culture and little importance is given to the money matters?

What factors help strike a balance between arts and finances?

From a social psychologist's point of view, what complications can arise from the extreme cases of both?

(I am not a psychologist so, I guess you needn't be a psychologist to answer this question either)

Eagerly awaiting some enlightening answers and real-life examples of either too money-minded big cities or too artistic and cultural towns...

Thanks

Why do most women lack self-confidence? Even professional women I know, who carry out difficult work magnificently, are terribly concerned about their looks, relationships, whether people like them or not

Is it us men that have made them that way, or is it genetic?

By doing so the humans beings have become a lot smarter. Is the same evident from various species of animals - who do you think they tend to follow or copy - after all they all have brain, thinking and analytical powers. Give real convincing examples.

I rarely have nightmares. But whenever I sleep over friend Tanya's house I get them. I usually slept in her second bedroom. And I never experienced sleep paralysis till one night I was over there. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldnt move. The whole room was shaking like an earthquake including the bed. Or atleast it felt like that. It wore off and I fell immediately fell back to sleep like nothing happened. Then another night over there I was dreaming and in the dream this little girl started chanting to me and she was saying "1, 2" Freddy's coming for you." In the dream Im laying down in the bed, and this guy appears through the bed where my legs are and is under the sheets with me. I was laying on my back, so I quickly turned to my stomach and tried to crawl out the covers and away from him. But I didnt get free because the guy got me before I could crawl away and started clawing my back up. I didnt die in the dream because before he could finish me I suddenly awoke. My body was burning, hurting, and feel scratched up.

I know that people think of me as a nice person - which I am to a good extend.
However, deep inside me, just between me and myself - I tend to get very jealous from people in an ugly way. For example, I get jealous if one of my relatives finds a job, starts studying in university (even though I already have a job + degree).
I just keep thinking about the issue and envying the person!
It haunts me day and night for weeks.
Or until I find something else to be jealous about!

I hate this, and I know it's wrong...
It's my own secret...

How can I cure myself?

Note: I am really serious and would appreciate serious answers... please, if you are going to make fun of me, then don't answer!
