Social Science - 18 April 2007

I see this one guy who works there who I am very attracted to. I have pretty severe anxiety on a normal day to day basis but when I see him it gets 10x's worse. He works in the cheese section so I often have to be near him when I am picking out cheese for a recipe. I get so extremely flustered around him I can hardly speak or walk. Tonight I found myself buying fifteen dollars worth of the wrong cheese after I asked him where the goat cheese section was. After he told me where it was, I couldn't think straight, I felt like a million degrees, I was sweating and basically just freaking out in my head about taking so long to find what I wanted, so I just grabbed something b/c I was afraid to ask him where the specific type of goat cheese was that I wanted. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get over this? It's not the first time I've lost it around a guy I was really into but I usually just avoid that person. In this case I can't b/c it's the only supermarket near me. Help!!!

There are many things I like about the U.S., but all the bad stuff just far outweighs anything. What can I do about this? I don't have the power to impeach the president. I guess I have the power to assassinate him, but I don't want to waste my life in jail until I'm executed or whatever.

I was talking to a Police officer a few days ago and he said that in 30 years of police work he has never heard of a man being raped by a woman. Is this true? Is this an urban legend kind of thing?

For those who are troubled, and in need of therapy, do you see how negative thoughts impact a person's actions? And can cause harm to innocent people? Do you see how a troubled person needs to stop blaming other people and thinking of revenge and payback for wrongs done to you? Do you see how it ecsalates to irrational behavior and the consequences of ignoring those who need help, when just the slightest bit of extra effort to get help can be so much more beneficial and life saving? I'm not trying to sound like I'm preaching, I have blamed others for things that have happened to me as well. But, the blaming and pointing fingers has to stop. I am just one person, trying to give back to those in need of a bit of hope in their lives. And I am hoping that just a little effort from myself, and anyone else willing, can change our attitudes towards one another, and make a difference. Let me know what you think, please no mean or nasty responses.

Attitude is more important than intelligence.

The mental picture you hold of yourself can either lead to great success or block the road to accomplishment.

Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you are right.

Someone giving you lots of attention can bestow self-esteem upon you without any of your personal involvement.

For the past 2 or 3 days, I keep having thoughts that I am going to get hurt badly. It seems to be centered on driving my car. I have never experienced anything like this and I don't necessarily believe in premonitions. However, it really is scaring me and bothering me. When I have these thoughts, I get quick but vivid images of myself getting hurt badly and I can almost feel it. Any thoughts on what might be going on with me?

Did you know it was once my RIGHT to own slaves in this country...it was once my RIGHT to help enforce state-sanctioned bigotry, racial prejudice...and segregation. ALL sanctioned by federal, state and local laws...
It is now my RIGHT to terminate the life and child inside of me since:
1. I take NO responsibility for my actions
2. Abortion is a now a form of birth control
3. Society waters it down..."that's ok girl, we have buried 50 million "choices" since 1973, what's another"?

What a false perception that the law gives you the ability to do something...that it is morally the right choice?!

Are we confused as a society between what feels good, and what we can throw away for the sake of convienience?

Just a hypothetical scenario:
If you're in charge of a $45,000 purchase order for your company, you are the key person and the only and the fully-authorized person to do this transaction on behalf of your company. Therefore, you found a vendor and give this lucky vendor your huge purchase order.

The chosen vendor was very happy to receive such a great deal from your company and especially your help on closing the deal with them.

The president of the vendor gives $4,500 cash to you and said it's a "commission" for you and it's how he wanted to show his appreciation. (Because it's all Cash, it's not trackable, as he claimed.)

How would you handle this situation?

My wife gets upset with me when I tell her that I don't want a funeral at all. I would prefer a closed casket (maybe with a photo) available for visitation. Iwouldn't mind friends and family gathering at my house, very informally with food and drinks. Nothing at the cemetary either. I hate funerals and so does everyone else. I have never felt the need to see a dead loved ones corpse in order to gain closure. I thinks funerals are a morbid and and cruel tradition. As far as paying respect to the family that can be done more effectively in the comfortable setting of someones home instead of a funeral home. So what's your opinion on the subject?

I don't even know if I think it's real, but having read a bit about this sort of thing has really made me think. I am intelligent but I don't do well in school. I am decent looking, caring, and genuine, but I don't do well with relationships. I am not afraid of hard work, but I get distracted very easily when I know that I can't accomplish a goal in a relatively short time and then lose sight of it and let it die out. This all seems to perpetuate itself because the next endeavor I attempt, I start out assuming I am going to face these exact obstacles. And the ultimate result is complete paralysis in terms of attempting anything. I suppose the hardest part is the thought that even if I try to address this, I'll encounter the anxiety and doubt, and then what? ust wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone else? I hate being like this. I started counseling recently, but I wondered if there's anything I can do to forget this phobia, whatever it is, and get on w/ my life?
