Social Science - 29 September 2007

I occasionally facilitate meetings for small groups of people (about 20) about 3 times a month. I show slides that they view while I narrate. Fortunately, I don't have to face them as I do it. I'm terrified in front of large crowds, and I don't know how I'd cope if I had to give such a meeting. I do pretty fair with these small groups; I stumble occasionally, but only because I used to stutter as a child, which I've almost completely overcome myself. But I still get very nervous.

How do you cope with your nervousness and tension when speaking before a group of any size? What do you have to fight against? Hands shaking? Blushing? Sweating? Stuttering?

How do you get around all that? Do your techniques help? Tell us your stories.

games at you?
i find that, (& im not trying to be funny) that 'white brits' that do this a lot to me.
but i dont care for them either, whether they live or they die...i sometimes imagine a giant helecopter, with a giant fishing net attached to it, then i round up all these haters and mind games people in the giant fishing net.....the fishing net is sealed shut. then the chopper is flown over the atlantic ocean in the middle somewhere, then the net, containg all the merry mind games folk and the antagonisers,is released into the ocean...dropped from high above, into the ocean..then i watch as they try to swim contained within the giant fishing net..

this is how these people make me feel about them.i aim to emigrate eventually..but mean while, how do i handle these people who want to bother me & my life, with their unwanted presence & their stupid, pathetic mind games?

how can i not give in to anger if this happens to me constantly?
until i leave uk, how can i deal with them?

portrayed to others. what can you do if that makes you angry, especially if you feel the portrayal is wrong?

also how do i handle a person who percieves me like mel gibson, and this makes you confused and angry, because you don't want to be percieved as that?

for one, i don't like mel gibson, and second, i don't look like him....so are they saying my characteristics are the same as his?
can anyone advise?

I need a good definition of the term 'corporate shark' (the ruthless manager who climbs up the corporate ladder through lies and stepping over other) I want to write something about my manager who is leaving . I call him a 'corporate dolphin' (new term in industrial psychology) But first I have to give a good definition of CORPORATE SHARK and then say that he is the contrary.
Google searches dont help :-( as I need an eloquent definition of the term.

I have had this dream almost every night this week and it's starting to make me wonder what it means...

I get in a car accident and break my left leg

(There's obviously more details in the dream , like dialouge , but that's the main idea)

I'm sure I'm touching a nerve here in 2 ways, claiming that women have communication problems with men along with hypothesizing that PMS is a big contributor to this problem. So, go ahead and react. Try to understand that I have great compassion for health problems, having fibromyalgia, depression, GAD, and food sensitivities myself. Also, many men have PMS-like symptoms, although they aren't as related to such a reliable syndrome. My ex was pretty reasonable 25 days of the month, but said horrible things during her entire cycle. I tried different methods to manage it, but she always found a way to sneak in nastiness and disingenuous indirectness during her cycle.
Any thoughts?

I want to bring on a "flashback". By this, I mean I want to attempt to remember as much about a certain time as I possibly can. I know that the sense of smell is supposedly the best at drawing on memory, but does anyone have any tips on how I can uncover some precise details about an old memory?

Thanks in advance!

More and more lately i find that people have a hidden agenda/s. I wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing the same? People are just not genuine anymore.

Are our ancestors with vertigo the first to climb down of the trees and live on the plains? Is our first instinct still the urge to climb when faced with danger?

You know, those people who will go as far as inventing a new reality, reacting on things that didn't occur, blowing things out of proportion and even go as far as accusing others of whatever suits their sick master plan just to make themselves look good or important in the eyes of others... or so they think...

Ok , people say that we sleep 8 hours and i watched a tv show once , it say that we have roughly 4 to 6 dreams per sleep and each dream last 10 to 20min so i calculate the time we to have 6 dreams each last 20min . That gave me 120min which means 2hours and we slept 8hours so i am wondering what do our brains do after we have 2hours of dreams?
