Social Science - 8 December 2007

For the past few months I have been sad all the time and at night it seems the worst. However, I don't have many ways to get rid of it, and it always seems to be there gnawing at me. I am not depressed, and I do not think that there is a history of depression in my family, but it is driving me crazy. The worst part of it is that recently I have been thinking of cutting b/c according to everyone it does help with hurting. I know that it's bad to do, and doesn't fix anything, but that doesn't seem to register when I'm considering doing it. I am sure that I am not experiencing anything not normal for a 17yo guy, and I live a very comfortable life, so it's not anything serious, but I just cant seem to get happy and I don't want to start cutting. Does anyone have any advise, on what to do, and how to get over sadness?

Ok so last night I had a dream about one of my guy friends, Im a girl btw. Im not sure exaclty where we were but we were out in public somewhere and we were sitting somewhere and we almost kissed each other like 3 times and he was just showing a huge amount of interest in me.

Is this dream just me showing myself what I really want or is it possibly telling me that mine and everyone who knows me and him suspicions are true?

I really like this guy and everyone who knows both me and him says he likes me but he has said he just sees us as friends but everyone who knows both me and him say that he says that because Im only 18 and still in HS and he is 23 and is publically well known.

Help?

Last night: There were options. So many options. So many things to choose. So many numbers. All I was doing was making choice, after choice, after choice. I'm not quite sure what all I was choosing, but what comes to mind was vaugely school supplies. It was a very irritating dream, and I awoke very hot and stresse and itchy. After a while I fell asleep again.

The second dream last night: I remember going to a airport and going down a hallway. I walked straight into a plane and it took off. My dad was with me. I was afraid that it would take me far away, but then it turned out it just took me down to nearby resturant. At the resturant I think I had some sort of spherical food (rice balls?) covered with some sort of sauce. It was also night time. Then it became morning and I went down a street in a golf cart and went to a playground-fort, when I found someone falling out of the bars and doing splits. Then I woke up.

I always have a dream where my little 12 year old brother is driving a car and it is very scary, but I can't drive.
Any idea what this means?

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if the majority of Italian/Sicillian men perform oral sex on women? Or is it a taboo?

Thanks

I'm 12 and I go to a Catholic School. I keep having not like a recurring dream for the past 2 months, but a series of dreams. I keep having wierd dreams that the principal who is a nun at my school is not a nun. the first dream I had about it was that she took the habit and headvail off and she put on a sexy dress and she went to like a fancy restaurant and then she just kind of "knocked 'em dead" like she just walked in, left them in aw and left. In that dream their was a song playing to it, 1973 by James Blunt. I like that song alot also. I also have dreams that she has kids and wears jeans and stuff. The dreams seem so real I'm starting to believe almost but she has a cell phone drives a car that belongs to the convent, is the head of all the 4 nuns at the school including her, and she just seems more like a regular Christian person than a nun. Please help thanks.

I try to take the smallest amount for granite. I catch myself though...drifting from reality, and becomming something i'm not. Sometimes I have to take steps backwards to find myself again. Do you know what I mean?

when I was little I was touched in the wrong way. Nobody nows what happend. I'm 14 now and now I can't stop crying because of that. Everyday I'm crying im angry I'm frustrated I'm feeling so many emotions at once I just want to vomit. A few years ago i could get sort of close to a guy. Now I'm at the point I afraid to hug my own dad.

Why am I crying now. I can feel myself going insane. I'm not supposed to cry. I was taught never to cry. I'm so close to breaking down at school and basicly go phyco

it's been my observation that many seemingly thoughtful men will behave differently when in the company of other men. i know that men are complex deep thinkers, not at all trying to deride them, but what is the cause of this locker room mentality (for lack of a better term).

Like people will tell you youre attractive and a fun person, but you look in the mirror and you don't see it. Like no matter what people try to tell you, you don't believe 'em?

is there a reason it's like this?

I'm in a relationship that has been very rocky over the last two months. We have finally achieved some calm after the storm and are relatively at peace. We seem to be communicating more and our sex life has even intensified. However, she has become very spiritual of late. Nothing in particular-- sort of New Age meets Buddhism with a sprinkle of a lil' ol' timey 'ligion. Anyway, she comes off as being enlightened and seems to be ramming it down my throat-- sort of like those Saturday morning Jehovah Witnesses. "I should see life like this," or "I should do this and that," or "I need to change." Everything seems to be contingent on her moving ahead and leaving me behind. Like she's on this enlightened path and if I don't pursue my own course of spirituality and become enlightened, then she's just going to have to move forward without me. Mind you, I'm a Dr. and the main bread winner. I feel that it means little. Women, what's this about?? I'm about 'bout to show her the door. Help!

Which states allow you to become licensed clinical psychologists with only a masters degree, and not a phD or a psyD? I've been researching graduate schools and apparently there are a couple of states that allow you do this, but I haven't been able to find out which ones. If someone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it! =)

Do you think that acts like opening doors for women actually emphazies the differences in gender and equality? It is chivalrous for guys to open doors for guys as well?

Ive been trying to figure out why ive been pushing people away when they tend to get close. to me. I realized that this is happening since the end of grade 8. what happen was that, alot of stuff happened to me, like my best friend dated a girl I really liked, which broke me in half and I was also serverlly bullied. i kept all my emtions inside until the week after I found out they were dating, I broke down and threw a broke a classmate cheekbone with a baseball. I apoligzed and he moved on. ever since, I have pushed everyone away cause I fear i or they will hurt me. I have been very crucial of myself since, I cant forgive myself easily. i have let potential relationships past, I avoid things that make me happy. I subconsciously avoid things that make me happy. what can I do to make myself happy

Ok i am 16 and the other night i met this guy who i thought liked me at my friend's party (everyone there went to a different school than me).he was saying how he wouldn't mind making a move on me and later put his hand on my leg. and he later IMed me and we were talking and he was being really weird but he asked 'so tell me about yourself, what makes you you, etc.' and i didn't know what he wanted to know but i thought he liked me. but later he asked me for my photobucket login info and i said NO. that really creeped me out. and later i asked him if he liked me he said i possibly could but i would have to get to know u better. then i said same w/ me. and then he said 'well i keep my eyes open to girls all the time. so in truth i like alot of them. if you need to leave you can go now.' that was so rude and offensive to me. i thought he really liked me. so how can i tell earlier on he just wanted in my pants???

I know some who do not take care of them self but show respect for others and others who take care of them self and show no respect ... I sometimes become confused which I am seeing in another. If one can not respect them self can they respect another?
