Psychology - October 2006

I played with a Ouija Board last night with a few friends. I've always thought that playing with one of them would mean to bother the spirits or that they just plain didn't work because it's a board game purchased from a toy store! But yesterday kinda freaked me out... We asked very generic questions with answers that anyone in the group would know, so maybe we were just moving the disc to what we wanted it to say. So I thought up one question that only I would know the answer to. I asked her what the name of my lawyer/my boss was and I closed my eyes (at first) while one of the girls dictated the letters to me. She spelled out my lawyer's name with correct spelling and order. Noone else in the group could have known as I don't talk to any of them about work. When one of us said something was wrong, the ouija baord disc moved straight to "Good bye".

Just wondering if anyone else had had similar experiences that proved the board really did work.

In the dream I'm chasing a little white mouse through my home with a flame thrower. The dream ends watching my home burn down and I feel satisfied that I killed the mouse.

Any thoughts?

I greatly enjoy being spanked in my bare butt with rubber sandals, belts or whips until my rear end becomes red hot and I can't stand the punishment any more. My greatest pleasure comes when I am spanked stark naked and tied in front a group of people who watch me in distress crying like a baby and begging for mercy.

I myself am very comfortable with my masochist tendencies and do not see anything wrong with that, but I made the mistake of talking about that with my sister and inviting her to watch one of my spanking sessions ( I am part of an amateur kinky troupe which performs in front of live audiences). She was totally taken aback with what she saw and since then doesn’t stop saying that I have psychiatric problems and need help. I must confess that I got a little bit shaken by her comments and would like an opinion.

Is it normal for a woman to enjoy being spanked really hard in the bare butt in front of an audience…???...ShouId I just relax or seek some kind of help…?

I'm 15 years old and I have never had a girlfriend. Not because I couldn't find one, but because I'm waiting for the real one that I will marry with and lose my virginity with. I don't want to have a girlfriend just because it's cool or something. I'm waiting for the real one.
But my emotions don't say so. I often fall VERY DEEPLY in love with fictional (videogame, movie) characters. The fact that these characters don't exist cause depression for me. I don't want to fall in love with imaginery characters.
1) Is this a normal period of emotional development?
2) How to fall out of love with some fictional character?

Sometimes for no reason I wake up and start worrying about getting fired for no reason at all; Or the other night the phone rang at 2 am and even thought I missed the call I kept thinking that someone must have called to tell me something bad happened. When this happens I don't get back to sleep for hours. It happens to me a couple of times a week and I don't know if I should see a doctor about it.

I haven't felt truly happy in a long time and when I think about getting happier and having my life improved I sort of get a sense of guilt because I know a lot of people who have it very very rough.

do you ever experience something like that and why do you think that is

is it sensitivity or something else

Cannot questions in this catagory be asked in plain, simple, unconfusing and common sense language ?
Why resort to complex techno-speak ?

A question which is constructed using a mixture of techno-speak and poor grammar, results in a total convolution and abomination.

Hi,
I'm writing a paper for my social psych class and I'm trying to get information on human mating rituals. That's the non psychological term for it. I'd like real answers from real people. What do men look for in women? What do women look for in men? And why are there such differences? If you want to answer based on your own opinion that would be great, if you have some facts that you'd like to share also great. Anything would help. Thanks.

A lot of people have used brian drive machines,or mind machines, to reach an altered state of awareness. I'm told it's very relaxing and whatever. I've also heard that it's the mental equivalent of drugs. Is it in anyway dangerous? Is it possible that such devices open up the mind to influence that is potentially dangerous to the mind or spirit? Are there any physical dangers involved?

I have been in many fights. One of the best techniques I have found is to kick the other girl, usually tip of the shoe on the front of her groin. It works about 60% of the time. One of my other female friends told me that I shouldn't because, as she said, it was just wrong????

Recently, nothing has been going right for me. I received a very bad score on a graduate entrance exam, failed a major project in school due to biasness by the teacher, have no money, been making no money at work, the girl i like isn't interested in me, school has become overwhelming, and recently my car was towed and it's not under my name so I have to wait for the owner (my father) to send me a notorized form to get it out. I know this stuff isn't the worst, but it's really gotten to me. I've been lethargic, loss of appetite, mood swings (from somewhat happy to a monotone state for no reason), loss of breath, not sleeping too well, and constant anxiety. Is there any way to fix this? Would this be minor depression, or just being sad? Any advice would be helpful, thanks!

Also how does patriotism relate to respecting the planet as a whole. I like America, but I sometimes feel that I am not as patriotic as I "should". I can deffinatly see myself living in another country and being just as happy. I also feel that we should place more importance on respecting the planet as a whole that being patriotic of our own countries.
So what are your thoughts on this?

Why can't smokers seem to understand that some non smokers, myself included, don't want to be polluted by their breathed out smoke. That we hate the smell of it and that it has nothing to do with a 'nanny state' that we want to ban smoking in public buildings.

I really don't care at all if someone wants to smoke. It's their lungs, and their eventual ill health. What I object to is being made to breath in the frankly revolting smell and carcinogenic after smoke. I mean there is a strong link between smoking and ill health/cancer for goodness sake, so why do smokers (and I've never met one yet that understood what I'm talking about) not get this?
