Social Science - 26 June 2007

I used to really believe in myself and feel confident about decisions I had made and the way I felt about things. After a relationship with someone who told me I was wrong all the time, gave plausible arguments as to why he was right, said I had no common sense and basically it was his way or the high way.

As a result, a month on from breaking up with him, I am still wracked with insecurities. I question everything, analyse everything, and try and find some way to lay the blame at my door. I feel like my world has been turned upside down and realise that this has something to do with being with someone who was 'always right' and who made me see things from his side of the fence. But now I'm just in a mess and I'm blaming myself for all the problems in our relationship, I'm questionning myself, my character & I just can't make sense of anything.

Does anyone else suffer from this? Do you have any tips on how to combat it? I'm so used to compromising myself that I'm lost now!

There is no right or wrong answer, just human response.

If you have been dating your significant other for about a year now, long enough you know your not just messing around anymore. But not long enough that you are super serious.
Now your significant other is in an accident and is in a coma, but the doctors say they will make a full recovery, but the medecine needed to revive him takes a full year to create.

Do you stay faithful to them?
Do you break it off?

I'm curious about this and would like to start a serious, non-emotional discussion about why you think so few women are in science. Here's one of my theories:

As a science and math guy in high school, I was squarely in the 'nerd' category, which brings on some level of social alienation. I basically accepted my lot and made friends with mostly other nerds, but even some 'cool' kids as well, who accepted I was a 'nerd'.

I think that girls are more vested in the social aspects of high school, and fear alienation more than boys do. This may cause some girls to avoid math and science and the mild social consequences that comes with it. Just a theory I'm putting out there.

Any thoughtful opinions are welcome, even controversial ones.

Please, no highly emotional, knee jerk responses.

If so why do you think so many people choose to be misserable. I know I dont chose to. I hate being sad all the time and I am damn sure my kids dont like it. I lived a terrible terrible child hood with lots of killing drinking drugs hate and abuse molestation. the only thing I ever ever did or should say still do is make damn sure no one hurts my two girls. they are so happy but I am very unhappy. I dont know how I ended up with such great kids being such a loser and I just want to know how the hell do you get over the sucky life you already lived. I need to because my girls dont deserve a depressed b*tch to put up with. I have been to thearapists and was told I am lucky to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. not a joke. and by the way I know what I should do but can not bring myself to do it. it is all because I feel worthless. even knowing I am not. oh bla bla bla. same old story.

i'm a 17 yr old girl. i have an elder sister and she's married for a yr. i've known my bro-in-law for years now. i know what happened was very wrong...but i couldn't help it. i had gone over to my sister's place...and since she lives in another state, i had stayed for a few days. i've always been very friendly with my bro-in-law. my sister had a night duty that day and we guys were talking the night away. i really didn't want to do it...but one thing led to the other and we had sex. i'm really guilty about it...we swore we'll never let it happen again tho we never told my sister about it. but the guilt always ate me after it. last week my sister came home...she loves me so much...i cried at her shoulders. both my mother and she were perturbed about it and asked me what was so wrong. but i knew it would break my sister's heart. my parents would be very disappointed. i don't want to ruin my sister's marriage. what do i do? the guilt it making me sick...please help me...

I dreamt that my doctor told me I was going to die on a specific day (which seemed far away) but all of a sudden it was that day and knowing I was going to die had me crying, in panic and nervous and I didnt know what to do. My mom already scheduled a wake for me because she knew any second I would drop. I went to someone who i think was my old teachers house and she lived 2 doors from my boyfriends house. i called my doctor and i couldnt get an answer from him and the call dropped. I ran to my boyfriends house (which was remodeled with new cars sitting outfront and inside was my boyfriend who i ran and hugged and he wasnt dressed for a funeral (like he didnt know i was going to die) I called my doctor to find out if I was going to or not and right when I got a hold of him and asked him what was going on I woke up. I went back to sleep and all I can remember was telling my mom i dont think i was going to die and she said i had to cuz she already arranged everything. WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!

I have been researching about human inner powers. It have been said that we humans have these powers but it got been forgotten because of our technologies. I believed that humans have been using these as their self-defense...

i think i have a stress type personality.i always try to keep others happy even if it is at the cost of my feelings.whenever someone misbehaves with me i dont react to him/her and remain silent at that time but all these things remain on my mind and i keep thinking over them whenever i am alone.then i try to forget everything and forgive the person myself even if the mistake is from other side. i think that saying anything will break his/her heart.this habit is preventing me from taking a good night's sleep. p[lease suggest something so that i can have good relations without torturing myself.
