I admire people who always seem to say the right thing at the right time, while I go around shocking myself…and others…by the things that come out of my mouth. I am like a person walking backward, watching the results of my actions rather than looking forward anticipating them. While the “stop and think first before you speak” answer is great , most of life involves impromptu responses. Can this be corrected, or is this just my personality, and must I live with it?

is this the same as being vain? it seems people don't like people who think they are gorgeous. yet on the other hand we are told to learn to love ourselves.
so what is the difference between loving yourself and being vain?

At times I do NOT feel like opening up to others, though I'm pretty much like an open book. When I do not wish to open up, I crack jokes or play funny. That's also the way my older brother chooses to "shut" people out from his mentality or heart. I guess for me it's because I just don't wish to talk or try to hide my true feelings from others. People gossip, and that's another reason for me to not open up. When I'm tired, I don't want to open up either. I'm like this with my parents as well. What about you people? If you ever feel afraid to open up, when do you feel it and why? I'd like to know why people do not open up some times. Your sharing is greatly appreciated.

What phobia is that? Is there a name for it? As in Venusophobia or arachybutyrophobia, is there one that was coined especially for the fear of the unknown?

By unknown, it means I fear what that I not know of but I am really good at things that I know because once I know what will and what won't happen, things are at my disposal. So as long as it remains known, it's like the future that is extremely unpredictable.

There, jumping down from multiple storeys, I know that I won't die, so I am not scared. But chuck me into an MRI for scanning, I have my fears because it's my first time inside that hole. And it hurts me mentally to think that I'm in there doing nothing while I may face unknown consequences.

One heck of a stupid phobia and that sucks.

Just tell me the name of it? If there's one.

I know that people are different, and some are very easy to open up. This kind of people tend to make friends with lots of people. But there are some who fear to open up to others for various reasons, what do you suggest the reasons are? If you meet such a person and hope to befriend him/her by opening up first, and you sense the reluctance to open up in this person. What do you think you'll do? Keep trying and be very patient or just give up and move on? Either choice you make, please tell me why? I'm interested in psychology AND your opinions and/or experiences. Thanks a lot for sharing in advance. No jokes, please.

it so p***** me off to finally realize that you just can't enjoy yourself without it. hobbies, pets, vacation, parties, trips, meeting new people, college, you name it

why does the quality of life depend on it

what bothers me is that everyone who works hard should have a decent and dignified life

please don't write about rich people being unhappy. at least they are unhappy in a dignified way and with style.

thanks.

My wife has had a condition since we got married but now it has grown worse. She has the irrational believe that there is an unvisible wire coming out of her ***, a wire that is connected to a pulley. When we were dating, I believed she was joking, but during the course of our marriage I started believing that she really thought there was a wire coming out of her rear. The pulley is located in our house and from that point she can only travel for a few miles. Her father died 2 weeks ago, and now she claims that the wire is too short to go to the St. Patricks Cemetery (in watertown where I live). Even during intercourse she gets frustrated by the invisible wire because she feels she gets entangled in it. How can I convince my wife that there is no wire coming out of her? On a Belgian TV documentary I saw a person that had the same problem. But they gave no solution to the problem. We have paid a fortune on mental health care. Nothing works...
