Social Science - 26 December 2007

I'm not talking about a couple who is unmarried and is together purely for sex or for pursuing sexual exploits with other couples. I'm talking about a couple that genuinely loves one another or is in a marriage where love at least at one time, was the premise for getting together. Your marriage may have fizzled such that you crave sexual satisfaction via variety with others but you don't want to divorce or give up on your spouse because you do still care about them and value them as a companion in several key ways.

I'm just trying to imagine how I were to feel if I saw or heard another person having sex with the one I loved, and my not feeling tremendously hurt, angry, or betrayed. But apparently, there are lots of swingers in the world and they deal with it all the time. So that's my question -- How do you deal with it and what do you keep telling yourself to keep from going mental over it?

This is hard for me to talk about but, here goes..

I have emetophobia. Which is a phobia of throwing up. (I have trouble saying the 'v' word). I worry about it a lot. I don't eat take aways much, I make sure meat is cooked completely, I wash my hands a lot, I get very panicky when I feel sick.

Anyway, I can't trace a moment were the phobia started. I havn't had any traumatic experiences involving this as far as I'm aware.

I've had many bad experiences involving needles, but I have no phobia of them. Experiences such as fainting, dizzyness, injured nerves, having a needle scraping across my eye to get sand out, multiple attempts at finding veins, but I'm not scared or fearful of them.

So what I'm asking is, why am I so afraid of throwing up?

Surely "sex" should be a culmination and not the beginning of a relationship.

Are we moving too quickly, or is it a caser of too much too soon.

I have always felt a great evil inside of me. not a demon or something like that, but my own self.

I've been watching Smallvile lately, and Lex reminds me of myself in a lot of ways.

Ever since I was little, I felt like I was destined to go down the wrong path.

Like something I can't change.

I understand evil, and bad, but yet when I watch movies I'm always rooting for the villains, even when I think what their doing is wrong.


when I was a Christian I feared I would someday be the anti-Christ.


I don't ponder on these thoughts daily, but every once in awhile They come up.

It doesn't feel like I'll be a petty criminal, or a mass murder either, but it feels something large scale, something everyone would see as bad.

What are your views on this?

What do you think it means?

I dream about my ex many times, before I dream he going to kill me and every where I hide he can find me. and the last I dreamt that we are (me and my ex) walking floating in the sea, it was very dark there and very silence, and he hold my hand very tight. I really wanna know about the meaning, it's very spooky to me.

My accent is bugging me! After six years of living here in states i still have a problem with my accent and really tired of people making fun of it. I have an excellent writing capabilities, but still having a problem in speaking correctly; wrong pronounciation, thick accent etc. The language barrier is affecting my social life too, many times while hanging with friends I prefer to keep quiet lest i speak funny, the fear of being ridiculed or misunderstood. What can i do to lose my accent and start speaking english properly? Is there any courses for that? plz help!

This would be sorta like those kleenex commercials. Baiscally I would just sit there and let people talk about...whatever. If they are stressed, or just want to have someone listen to them, or need a shoulder to cry on, or just feel like talking to someone new. Everything would be completely confidential. I know My university has peer counseling programs, but those seem so official, this would be a very low-key way to do it. Do you think it would work? Or am I simply dreaming?

ok, here it is. my husband (17 years older) is bipolar, impotent (not physical, but mental block, doesn't ever want sex again), has lied pathologically about his past and what he has done in his life (everything from he wrote buddy holly's first song to his scars on his body are war injuries). the truth is that i found out they are childhood surgical scars. he was funny and entertaining to be around and financially stable, but wreaked havoc on our marriage. he has now left and lives 2000 miles away, got drunk (after 7 years of sobriety). btw, he's an alcoholic who didn't drink during the marriage. he keeps saying that he's made a mistake in leaving, but that we need "time" to think about what went wrong and figure out how to make our marriage work. i know i can't live with him unless he seeks serious help, but at his age (66) why can't i just let this all go and file for divorce? ps. i'm torn by biblical messages from childhood regarding divorce.

Throughout my life I have been typically a very quiet, socially awkward and "Never knowing what to say" sort of person. I'm crazy around my friends, but with people I don't know I just don't know what to say, like there's awkward silences.
I'm also don't like to do new things, like my friends wanted me to try DDR (the kind they have at the mall or arcade) and I don't, just totally refuse. Lol.
It's not like I'm a happy shy person- I know tons of people who are happy and are just shy, but thats okay with them. I am shy and I'm not happy. How do I start coming out of my shell and trying more things? I'm also afraid to get a job where there's too many people- which really limits job opportunities for me. I feel as though my life is very limited because of my fears. Also, I'm 16. Any advice?
