I try to be a good gentlemen, but somehow I end up staring at their breast... especially if their "cut" is a bit "revealing".

What should I do here? I know it is not polite for me, but I just can't avoid it....

Why is that some people shine in life and some people never achieve any real success or just seem to come up short and never have it in them to make it big ?

I've recently undergone a Full Scale Intelligence Quotient test at a testing facility in town, Is 106 a very good FSIQ (Full Scale Intelligence Quotient) score? (FSIQ is quite different from normal IQ, there are no online FSIQ tests).

Hey guys I need some links for helpful info on Environmental psychology? I have a report due at the end of this week and need to get on the stick. Basic stuff like history of the field, and the things it studies so I can get a better grip on what I am writing about.

Have you ever said/done something that you wanted to do/say when you were sober, but couldn't.

I have a fear that if I put headphones on then I will say my thoughts out loud but be unaware. Except I do not really believe this but the thought scares me enough to sticking to only one earbud.

I have no idea why, but I cannot seem to concentrate on one thing. I don't know how long it has been going on, but my mind is always racing, thinking about something, someone, or a situation of some kind. And it gets in the way so much. I am sitting and trying to study, but I cannot stop thinking about other things, like what happened this past weekend, what is going to happen soon, a past experience, something related to an interest, or something that is off topic. I try and say to myself "Look, what I am doing right now is the most important thing right now and you should be thinking about this." but it never works!! It makes studying almost impossible. It seems like I can never have a clear mind, because it is always so muddled up with other thoughts. It gets very aggravating that I just can't stop thinking.

Any advice?

I am 18 and I wear a diaper. I don't use it, when I use the restroom I take it off and use the restroom just like underwear, but it is like a security blanket it me, nothing sexual it's not a fetish eww, it’s totally innocent, it's just emotional, I have seen help and they tell me for now if it's not hurting anyone then there is nothing wrong with it, but it hurts me. It’s easy for most people to say it’s weird and judge me harshly, because most people got the affection they should have when they were that age, but I really didn’t and that’s something we talked about. He thought that someday if I got security from someone else I might not have the need to wear them anymore, but it’s something has been ingrained in my subconscious. I’m not a bad person, I mean some guys prefer boxers, some briefs, I prefer disposable briefs, which are much more comfortable especially when sitting, to me it's just another piece of clothing, which I wish it wasn’t. I’ve honestly thought about suicide a lot because if I can’t quit I know it’s just going to ruin my life and that sometimes feels like the only answer. I think a lot like “why me” why did God give me this disorder. My real question is could any girl accept this, if she liked me and knew me for a few years before she found out, and she knew that I’ve seen a psychologist and I’m trying really hard to let it go?

Please give no hate-filled answers. I am asking for factual observations rather than biases. And I would much prefer answers based upon personal thought and experience than just emotional reactions from people who really do not understand the premise of my question.

When she was 15, she was irresponsible and we were harsh, though she was really sorry. Our words broke her spirit and for 3 months she suffered hard consequences. She became a very responsible teen, but for the next 3 years she lived with us she was always sad, resentful, depressed. She never felt as part of the family again. At first we told her she had just suffered the consequences of her actions, had to get over and didn't coddle her. Hubby didn't change his attitude, but I got worried w/ that behavior and tried unsuccessufuly to comfort her. I only caused more pain, so I sent her to counseling but didn't work. She went to college, we both missed her bad but realized she was much happier from us. Today she lives on her on, is doing great on her job but since graduation we could hardly talk to her. Yesterday we finally talked. She relived those days and cried a lot, her pain shocked us. She said she can't have a relationship w/ us. Her mistake was to leave her 7 yo bro alone for 20 min when she was in charge of him to talk w/ friends. He was run over by a car, though had no severe injure. He never blamed her, they love each other.

There is so much to this.
Every time we learn something from our environment, our brain rewires according to it, thus affecting any decision we make afterward.
(So there's no freewill?)
But we don't rely solely on what the environment allows us to learn, then evolve on - we also have a desire for novel stimulation, like curiousity, or creativity, which CANNOT be taught with classical conditioning.
(So there is freewill?)
I believe I have freewill, and so I do?? Is that it?

(Anyone else read Opening Skinner's Box, or Voltaire?)

I had a dream a couple of days ago, and I called the guy I like a jerk. He is kinda being a jerk, not replying to any of my emails. But in the dream I didn't care that I pretty much hated him. That would like kill me to hate him. I think. What does this dream mean?
