The teacher said “I will give you a surprise test next week.”
Jeanie stood up and said “a surprise test like that is not possible.”
The teacher was stunned. She thought that there is nothing preventing her from administering the test on any day she wishes. Yet, using a hair-splitting argument, it is possible to show that Jeanie was right, at least logically.

any other real life examples u guys cn come up with?

In a relationship, I often find that the arguments, bad emotions and breakups happen because of talking too much about everything (especially those things that are very negatively emotional). Most psychologists would agree that the problem is that we need to communicate MORE. Do you agree, or should we avoid talking sometimes? Explain.

A tree fell on our house when I was younger during a thunderstorm so everytime there's really bad weather... I start to freak out.

There is always one in the crowd that says:

"I've been there, done that" (Blah Blah Blah)

This person also seems to have a compulsive disorder in telling lies. No matter what the topic/issue, this person has done it all before...(& better).

The sad thing is, everyone that he knows, knows he lies & thinks he is a bit of a "....", but they do nothing (just laugh behind his back).

I have approached him before regarding this - but he ends up believing his own lies (such as "when I was at... or When I use to do this..."). All are a figment of his imagination. Everybody knows he was not there or doing that.

I finally ended up just being polite & humouring him, allowing him to go on & speak his "...", but this is now gradually causing alot of frustration, especially when different circles of friends & colleagues are brought together.

I realise this person might feel he needs to 'fit' in, but he would if he would just be himself.

Any thoughts?

I really let things get to me, i wish i could stop and just brush things off but the more i try i keeping thinking of whats got the best of me. for instance at work today...i am a supervisor of a area in a retail store, i supervise people older than me, and i guess thats what makes them think they have to make me feel low because i am younger and they probably feel they are old enough to be my mother. how do i put people in place without being disespectful and if that doesnt work how do i brush it off and let work stay at work and when i come home have a peace of mind?

Where does someone find motivation. I have tried every kind of medication and comibination of medication you can think of. I have also tried talk therapy, group therapy and just about everything in between. I have sustained a brain injury in which I have lost a lot of memory. I don't remember my friends, I have forgotten how to cook and how to perform my job. I have also forgotten the one thing I really enjoyed which was gardening. I know longer know the names of flowers or plants or how to care for them. I don't want to be around anyone as I cannot communicate with them as I cannot find the words or know anything about what they are talking about. I have no knowledge of anything. I turn on the TV and do not recognize anyone or anything. I have tried to read but do not comperhend what I am reading. If I could just stay home and do nothing then my life is just fine.
