Psychology - November 2006

Lately I've been finding myself scared to get into conversations with people I don't know well, for fear that the conversation will go silent and feel awkward. I've been trying to meet new people and start new friendships, but even when things start out well I'm still terrified that suddenly there will be nothing left to say! I never used to be this way, I used to be totally outgoing and loved talking, and now I feel like I never have anything to say and it scares me. Any tips on how to get over a fear of awkwardness??

and feel like I can't breathe? I test myself on how long I can take it until I freak and pull his hand away,I am up to 1 minute. I can't take it, but I like to do it alot. Could it be because he hasn't held me in 9 years,and he has conditioned me that way? do people get uncomfortable after many years of not being touched?

I have a prob. please try to be as open minded as pos. when reading this. When I'm satifying myself, my mind conjurs really abnormal fantasies- Extreme domination to me w/ abnormal creatures, Beastiality involving either horse or dog, & me a female w/ a penis forcing another female to finish me. I know these things are wrong & when im with my partner, these thoughts arn't there. I am hedrasexual, im not into women, its scares the crap out of me that the beastiality thing is such a turn on, and i really dont know what to say about the other. A little insight about myself is that i have been sexually abused from infancy to 17 then verbally,physically, and mentally to 22, i am now 24, & am learning how to cope with most of this but i just dont get this part. I dont feel like my private parts are special, i feel they are just flesh and feeling. Ive never had an internal orgasm with a man. Only with toys by myself. I dont keep a pet for fear of giving into temptation- Please help if pos.

Is there a market for it? Should I be concerned about copyright infringement on something I didn't copyright? If it comes to me as natural as wind whips autumn leaves, should I try to bank on it? What publisher would take a bunch of poems from one person without being over critical about verse, or structure?
Any input is appreciated. Thank you...Have a great day.

Who’s in charge?
I feel that educated idiots who have no real grip on reality or real people are being paid to think.
Undermining centuries of culture and placing unrealistic pressure on the youth of today.
Their prudish and unsubstantiated moralistic jargon has brought about more social problems than they have fixed, placing pressure on families and individuals to act life out of a book of instructions. Rather than relying on their inbuilt sense of judgment and values to guide them through life.
Is it time these social working Doo Gooders took a step back

As she walked by, I felt a spark, but I never said a word.
I returned a smile and my eyes lit up, but nothing could be heard!
I saw her eyes focus on me.. oh, and No Ring on the finger...
That was attraction at it's finest, and it always seems to linger.
Wow, her eyes were beautiful, her smile, her stride, her hair!
I'm in quicksand sinking in elegance, Oh no! She's no longer there!
But as I look on and wonder a while, If those eyes were lonely too,
I realize it's a common affliction..were those eyes attached to you?
I'm not so shallow to misinterpret, a look from just a glance,
And interest doesn't have to revolve, around the contents of someones pants!
LOL and LMAO, that last verse made me snicker,
I'm getting too old to ask silly questions, I'm much too old to bicker.
So I ask my question at last...And once and finally for all...
If a guy gave you his number outta nowhere, would you feel compelled to call?
Cheap entertainment again. Hopefully not too vulgar.

Is there an explanation for a person that becomes extremely sensitive to watching people being stabbed or slash in a movie, or even watching an operation being performed on Tv? Everytime I watch something like this I feel as if it is happening to me. But if a person gets shot in a movie I don't care because I figure I could handle that pain. Unless of course the shot being fired is somewhere very sensitive, like the groin?

Mine is me, three years old, sitting on the kitchen floor while my mother was preparing an antidote to a chemistry set experiment that my older brother fed me (he was trying to poison me for stealing his spotlight I am sure...lol) and crying because it tasted awful.

I watched Billie Joe Armstrong sing wake me up when september ends, and he was crying, and it was very dramatic, he looked like he was in so much pain. I am very upset because it was to emotional, and that vision of his face being so red and the tears and pain, and Billie saying how hard it is to sing it, I want nothing to do with Greenday because now I feel obsessed and disturbed, i don't want to think about September either because it brings a vivid picture of his most dramatic performance...what do I do

I think so strongly about this for some strange reason....the only thing I can think of is these two things : My grandfather (who was like me 2nd dad, and this line "As my memory rests but never forgetes what I lost, wake me up when september ends"

If I new that I was going to end my life or my life was coming to an end,and because it was due to all the hurt and pain that I have endored thru life with these individuals,I feel that why should they live without me at least telling them that they were part of the reason,and leave them to deal with that!

Every single day, I stayed after school and studied nothing but Biology for at least three hours (with a 10 min break every hour) for two weeks - anticipating a test. I read it - and really TRIED to understand in-depth cellular respiration and photosynthesis, and I kind of was able to go through the chapters and I was eventually to understand what the book was trying to say...and I quizzed myself, and I had trouble. Because I began to realize that the processes of these were SO intricate and complex that it seemed IMPOSSIBLE to truly master every detail. So I took the test, hoping for at least a B- and I completely BOMBED. 44/100. I can kind of get the overall fundamental ideas, but when it comes to the details (i.e. "How many CO2s are produced in the Krabs Cycle"? What is the net gain of NAD+ or NADH or NADPH or NADP") I suck. How can people actually remember 40 pages of intricate, VERY complex details? Looking back at the test, to ace it, I'd have to memorize EVERY WORD.

I'm an outgoing person, especially 1 on 1, but incredibly shy sometimes.
I flirt, but I hide from you.
I know what I should do, and can never bring myself to do it.
I'm courageous for others, but never stand up for myself.
I show love and only secretly hope for it. Not expect, hope.
I have tons of amazing friends, but I've never felt lonelier.
I'm happy but I frown.
And vice versa.

I feel like I'm slipping away. I feel completely disconnected. I'm numb. I don't want to be numb.

And now I'm rambling to strangers on the internet.

Help me?

Can someone chemically dependent on alcohol beat the addiction, but still be a social drinker, or do they need to stay off the "juice" to overcome alcoholism? Personal stories a plus. Please no links to wikipedia.
