Social Science - 14 March 2007

My brother said he learned in psych. that a person who is generally happy will always be happy and vice versa. Even after a lifechanging event such as the death of a child/spouse, or a marriage, they will always return to their previous state of happiness. He also says that if you interview a person when they are 20 and then 60 their views on happiness will be the same? I am asking because I recently experienced a loss. Will I ever be the same?

I don't mean by simply reading a book but something that gets your child-like Imagination back. Example: On a front porch you pretend like you are on a massive airship. LOL Does this make any sense?

We all have different parts of our personality inside ourself. For example:

At work: productive, more serious
With friends: funny, more outgoing, showing fun side of personality
Meeting acquaintances: on best behaviour, a little more reserved than usual

Ok, do you think when you're in a happy state your true self comes out, or in other states? Think about it. What is your opinion?

I know a friend who finds herself drawn to people who are not what they seem to me on the outside. As for me, I find myself drawn to people who are very strong. Even if they have been through a lot, they would it keep somewhere deep inside and remain strong and loving for the people around them. I think there is a moving sort of dignity about these people.

What kind of people do you find yourself drawn towards?

everything happens for a reason right?? sometimes we make certain decisions based on instinct and unexplainable reasoning. we may not know why we make certain decisions but there is always a certain outcome. ppl die all the time, only to effect other ppl's lives, to bring them grief, which may need a great time of healing, which can help them to grow and become stronger... what if god puts people in situations which are meant to push them over the edge and commit such a sin?? i dunno.. its just a question that came to mind.. id be more than happy for any insites...thanks!

hello everyone! im in a bit of confusion right now at my job, there' a fellow co-worker(supervisor) that tends to critique me about something. today, for example, i recently had my hair styled and many gave me compliments, when she saw my hair she had to negatively comment about it has happened before. she asks me personal questions like i do i have a boyfriend and i give her short ended answers. she also questions why i stay to myself. what's her problem?

I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach and it is really unnerving. i get it often and sometimes it is worse than others. it seems to pop up out of the blue and hang round for a few hours a day or sometimes even a week. it is really weird and it makes me feel confused, sad, andgry and just plain down. i really don't like it and i wish i knew why i got it.

once upon a time...
there was a little girl who witnessed her brother attempt suicide many

times. she got beat with a belt daily and picked up by her hair for

eating too many chips. she got locked out of her house when she was 8

because she wanted to pick out her own outfit. she was told storys of

her father having sex with other women. she was sexually abused by her

boarderline retarded brother. she was made to sit in the time out chair

for hours at a time. her mother tried an exorcism on her and always

scared her with talks of demons. so her father eventually took control

and took her away from the abuse. her father was an alcoholic. she was

always left alone while her father and "step mom" went out to party.

she had been brought up very religiously and always tried to tell her

father what he was doing was wrong. this caused much emotional stress

on her and the ulcers continued along with breaking out in terrible

welps. constantly left alone with no one to talk to she would of rather

been abused. her step mother hated her and made the little girl afraid

to even leave her room. constant tension everyday made her feel as

though she was in a house of strangers. one night the step mother tried

choking her and her father saw the whole thing and denied what the step

mom had done. she also took pictures of the little girls room when it

was messy so she could prove to people how worthless the little girl

was. she recorded her phone conversations and was always scheming

against the little girl. there was never a place to hide and relax for

the little girl everyday was a battle to just survive through the day.

this made her feel very insecure. she had lost all hope and was very

depressed. eventually the step mother and her father divorced. the

father soon realized his "ex wife" had been planning to take his money

all along. she stole around 160,000 dollars.
things finally were starting to get better for the little girl who was

now no longer little.
most people dont know anything about this, she hides it. no one knows

the story behind everything. she appears to be normal and hapy but she

will always carry the scars with her

I'm 17, and i'm afraid of growing up and having responsibilities. I like not having responsibilities. But i know sooner or later i will need to get a job/graduate/pay bills etc...and deal with everyday life, and i'm terrified. I think this stems from my depression, which i'm fighting with at the moment.....Everyone says i should be excited because i have freedom etc....but i'm still not looking forward to it. How did you deal with growing up?

Everything we do is for personal gain--every individual act can be looked at as selfish...even helping others helps ourselves because we feel good about it.
