Psychology - October 2006

You get these text messages on your phone:

1. Call me. Very Urgent

2. Call me. Very Urgent!!!

Which one would you call first, why and what would you be feeling emotionally?

It seems like fat people crave slender people, skinny people crave big husky types, short girls tend to have a crush on really tall guys, etc, etc. Are you this way also?

I've noticed that for a while now, I get irritated when people don't understand me or I get really annoyed when I feel someone doesn't know what they're talking about ( as if I know it more then they do).

For example : today my mom said that the Amish lived like in the old days. I told my mom, no kidding who doesn't know that. The way I said it was rude and I felt bad because I made my mom feel ''stupid'' I guess you could say. But to me it was like: how can someone not know that? Anyways, it's as if I always feel the need to answer someone back, and not in a very nice way.

I feel really bad and I don't know how to stop it. Even my friend told me last time that she felt as though I thought she was stupid... When people are ''slow'' or don't get me I get so irritated! And they feel it!
I don't want to be a b*tch, I just always feel the need to say something. :( :(
-no stupid answers, please.

I have this empty feeling. I know it might sound odd, but its like I have an "emotional organ" missing from my body, and I don't know why or where I lost it. Do you feel like that at times? I'm not overly sad, I just feel like there's a piece missing out of my puzzle.

i have a huge fear of dogs. im 20 and ive had this fear as long as i can remember, and every year my fear gets worse and worse. its gotten to the point where walking anywhere alone is scary and doing things like walking in parks, even with other people, is out of the question.
i was almost bitten as a kid of about 10 but i was scared long before that.
seeing friends who have dogs isnt really the answer for me, coz they dont understand how i can be so scaried of their cute little doggy, so they dont really understand that they need to take baby steps with me and their dog.
was wondering if i could get some help on the NHS?

I feel overwhelmed, I am married have 2 kids I live in a mess, I feel like my finances are out of control and almost like I can not think straight to do what I think or know I should do, instead of helping my husband goes on and on about how bad the house and when he does clean he yells and cusses the WHOLE time, it is VERY stressful, our kids room looks like a disaster area, we have 4 dogs and 2 cats and the kids barely care for them, I feel I am at my wits ends and need to get away and make a game plan and come back ready for battle, but I don't care, I really don't care about anything, what can I do.

Every summer you read about parents leaving their kids in a car, but still it occurs. Summer+heat+car=furnace & death.You see the vast fires every summer burning around hillside homes and every winter people are killed from massive mudslides. Fire+ no vegatation+torrential rains=death and loss of property. A rapist cut off a young girls arms and leaves her for dead. The courts release him cause "He's cured". 6 months later he kills somebody. Sicko+jail=worse person than before. A man or women gets involved in a bad relationship but they go and seek out a similar person. "Like, Hi!" + "Buy me something."= headaches and problems. Etc., etc., etc.
It can't be for the lack of solutuions, cause we are flying all over the cosmos and building better bombs so the intellegence has to be there somewhere.

I have been going out with a guy for the past two months, who I really really like. One problem is that when I am talking to other people about him, there's a slight delay before I remember his name. I keep thinking of, and suppressing, other names first - the name of male friends, my friend's boyfriend's name, the name of my ex from years ago. I am not in love with anyone else, I am not cheating on him, and I have no problems remembering other people's names.

Any ideas on a) why this is, and b) how I stop it happening?

The only thing I can think of is that I haven't liked anyone else as much as I like him for a very long time, in fact since that ex mentioned above. It'd be awful it I ever did call him the wrong name, especially as both he and the ex both have quite unusual names... help!

i've come to realize that it is human nature to negatively reinforce; u get angry, upset, condescending, lecturing when someone does "wrong"...and when they do "right", it is just assumed they "should" act that way, OR u only praise above average behavior. how do i practice positively reinforcing people around me, daily...i want to be able to positively reinforce my (future) children....

I have a weird fear of heights. Now I don't mind going up in a plane, and I used to live on the 14th floor of a tower block, I have even been, 16000+ up a mountain in a light railway in Colorado, so why is it I find stairs a problem - looking down them I feel dizzy if a long flight of them,, sitting upstairs in stadiums or theatres and riding Dockland Light Railway in London so damn difficult. I told you I had a weird and irrational fear, so how can I get rid of it?

I think I have a problem with concentration during exams . i study very well and Iread the questions very well , but something goes wrong , I read the question and warn my self from falling in a certain mistake but I find myself making that mistake as if I told my seld to do it . This problem happens alot during exams ( times this week only ) . It is not a problem of not knowing the answer it is just that I do something totally different from what the question wants . Just like this !
Do you have any Idea why this happens or how can I work it out?
