Psychology - July 2006

This might be a woman thing but I have always been really good of thinking things and then they happen right from out of the blue whether it be I think of someone that I haven't seen in awhile and then they suddenly come back into my life or like today when I was at the store a picture entered my mind of my son dropping a jar on the floor and it shattering and then of course it HAPPENED. Another instance is when I was driving one day and thought to myself what a bad place for my tire to go out and then right then IT DID!! It has happened WAY to many times for it to just be coincidence, what do you make of it?

I went out on a friends hen night recently (that’s a bachelorette party for anyone outside of the UK) and after many hours of drinking, dancing and stumbling around town failing to find a taxi, the evening finally ended with a group of us squatting down in an alleyway for a much needed pee! I mentioned this in passing to some colleagues at work when we were discussing our respective weekends, expecting them to find it a humorous incident, but instead they reacted with disgust at my ‘unladylike conduct.’ The colleagues in question were male. Since their attitude is pretty clear, I would like to know what other women think of what I did and, if they have ever done the same thing after a night on the tiles, how people responded to their behaviour?

Then Paris Hilton will scream at you, two inches from your face, and yank your pants down every fifteen minutes for eight hours. Finally, Mike Myers, playing the role of Fat Bast**rd from those Austin Powers flicks, takes diarreah in your face every fifteen minutes for eight hours (after eating at Taco Bell). All of this is on live TV; the celebrities take turns and this goes on for 72 hours, after which you get 100 million, cash money. You cannot fall asleep or lose your temper or even speak at any point, or you lose. Will you go for it?

Introverted attention deficit disorder

Sometimes, I get bored easily. Especially when people speak mindlessly or drone on and on. And instead of being hyperactive, I look within for entertainment. I think about old jokes. I ask myself "what if" questions. I plan things out. I think about where I'd rather be. Anything to keep me entertained. I'm trying to write a novel and capitalize on this trait of mine. Do I have IADD or am I just a run of the mill daydreamer?

I'm a loner and a psychology student with aspirations to be a counseling psychologist. I've got a near perfect GPA in my major. I'm curious about people and how I can help them. People tell me I'm insightful and a good listener. I just don't need to be around people as much as most, and I enjoy my solitude. A few people have said its hypocritical for a loner like me to want to be a psychologist. That I'm not involved enough with other people to truly understand them. What would you say?

The person will be allowed to break into your house some night--you won't know when--in the next year. In the meantime, you must continue to work and conduct yourself normally. When the stranger beats you, you won't be too seriously injured, but you will have to stay in the hospital for a week (no charge to you). The stranger has a key to your house, but they will not harm your loved ones, just you. You do not get the 100 million until the beating/hospital stay has concluded. In the meantime, you're a frazzled bundle of nerves. Will you go for it?

You can hang out with whomever you like on your own time; however, when you go to either dinner or the movies, for the rest of your life, you must take the mannequin and treat him or her like your date (You can never take your spouse or your mate). Anyone who questions this must be treated with shock, and you cannot explain why you are taking the mannequin to TGI Friday's or to see "You, Me, and Dupree." Will you go for it?

I feel that sometimes my memory isn't as good as it should be for my age, I'm in my early adult hood and there are certain things that I can remember accurately but other things that I wish I could remeber but can't seem to accurately remember them. Especially when it comes to critical thinking, like mathematics-I love math, but sometimes it seems like anything I learn one day I seem to forget the next. Any advice on an activity that will help refresh my memory would be great. Thanks.

It seems like the justice system is more concerned with punishing criminals than rehabilitating them. But from what I've been reading, it may not be all the criminal's fault in a lot of cases. For example, a lot of violent offenders meet the criteria for antisocial personality disorder, which is often the result of childhood trauma. Some "super males" are born with an extra chromosome that increases their testosterone, which leads to heightened agression and lessened inhibition. And a lot of people in jail are drug users who just got caught with their drugs before they could use them. And a lot of them are genetically predisposed for addiction. And list goes on.

In light of these things, should jails be more like mental hospitals and prisoners more like patients? I can't help but wonder if that would be a more effective way of dealing with criminals and turning them into productive citizens.

Ok, I had a dream last night, that kind of made me uneasy. I was wondering what you guys think it means.

Ok, first I'm in a big auditorium, full of people, and I can't decide where to sit. Then, I see some former friends that basically disowned me, and there calling my name and telling me to sit by them. I'm kind of flattered because they don't even talk to me anymore, even though we're in the same classes. Then one of my friends says, "we're bored", and for reason its my cue to punch the person next to me in the face. My "friends" start laughing, but the usher comes and tells me to sit in the last seat in the very last row. Then all of a sudden I riding on my bike full speed running away from a LARGE group of people. In summary, I find out that everyone in the world wants to kill me, even my mom. It just kind of scared me....

I am trying to get my head around the phenomenon of youngsters reinventing themselves to be perceived as more threatening. Right now, a hooded seater and a shuffling, ex-con style walk do the trick to ward off even greater evil (I'm sure it's a protective mechanism - if you live in an environment where predators are ready to pounce, better make sure you are one, too). But when will this spiral bottom out, and what will it take for a new direction to take hold? What might that new direction be?

The overwhelming response is that is it genetic (or at least biological as one person said). So if it's not a choice, doesn't that mean that it is an abnormality that we should look for a cure too?

I think nature makes it pretty clear that sex is to be between males and females, so sex with the same sex must be an abberation, possibly one that can be fixed.

And before you start yelling "I don't need to be fixed", of course you say that because you can't know any better because of your genetic disorder.

I ask this question because I feel that I am mildly retarded or slow or whatever you want to call it. Everytime I'm in a social setting where there is interaction, I always feel spacey, lost, umm... unsure of myself. I'm always quiet and alone because of it. It's hard for me to develop lasting deep relationships because I just don't understand people. And it's funny because like no matter how hard I try I just don't seem too catch on to whats being said from others. Can someone out there please help help me? Thanks I appreciate it.
