Psychology - November 2006

Does anybody else feel like I do about life? I am terrified of the future because every day brings me closer to the day that I will lose people I love, such as my mother and other elderly family members. Every day I am so afraid because I think this could be the day someone close to me dies and everything will change. The best things in life, such as being in love and babies being born, are just not as powerful as the bad things in life like losing the ones you love. So how can a person live life happily?

I've got this class mate and we have the same P.E. class together.Whenever we have to do the practice mile...she suddenly is behind me.?_? Ok well here's the story!

One day in my P.e. class,we had to do the practice walk and jog mile.I run super fast that I leave everyone behind.Then a half an hour later...my classmate is suddenly behind me...then she goes the same pace as me and doesn't run until I run.Then the next day we had to run around the two back stops and back,when I was ahead of everyone else she said"You run too fast I hate you!"Soon we run the mile..usually she tries to get past me and never slows down her pace.

So to you is she an enemy or rival?Well one theory is she's an enemy is that she said:"I hate you!" One theory for she's a rival:"She tries to get past me and never slows her pace" I'm just making this easier to for you to answer my question...

As I look through Yahoo answers, I see a lot of people asking questions that are solely based on opinion. For example, I once saw a question in which the asker asked, "Do you think Fall-Out Boy is a good band?" Then the details went on to explain that this young lady just so happened to like this band. The question received approximately 7 answers. 6 of them said something along the lines of, "No" or "they suck". The only answer that said that the band was good was chosen, by the asker no less, as best answer. Solely because this young lady simply didn't like the other answers because they did not share the same opinion as hers.

Now, my question is this:

Why do so many people waste time and server space asking such ridiculous questions, only to ignore answers, no matter how intelligent, just because they don't agree with them.

Regarding the guilt or innocence of a Hollywood celebrity on trial? Such as OJ? Is it because of their status as a celebrity? Or their gender/ethnicity?

What causes one section of society to ascribe presumed guilt to one celebrity over another (who may be presumed innocent in a similar situation)?

This question has always fascinated me.

In the book "1984" there are many signs about how they can tell what we are tinking like the "thought police" can people really do that. In what ways could they do it how do they know if they are right or not? If they are right how do they prove that it is really the truth and they are not just making it up to win their case? If you have any answers to this please let me know and if know of any more ways to explain "1984" in more detail to me that would be a big help too.

Married for 10 years, sometimes a deep sleeper. Woke up manyl times to my husband either touching me (and I mean touching) me or having sex with me. Sometimes I may not have woken up at all.

I confronted him about this and he said it wouldn't happen again.

It continued, and I confronted him about it again last may or something. He assured me he didn't know why he did it and he would stop, blah blah blah. He hasn't even shared a bed with me regulatry for 5 years. I put him out on the couch because of his snoring and because of this issue. He is generally not interested in me sexually, even though I would consider myself attractive.

In October, I tested him by telling him that I was going to sleep, and stayed awake, but pretended i was asleep. He crept in, undressed, and began touching me and saying things, and eventually did it. He finished in a towel or something and left.. I feel so grossed out and disgussed by him.

Any advice?

I just moved to california with my dad and went to my new school for the first time today. The problem is that a group of about six people are harrasing me because of my race the call me chink jap chong or they ask why I bombed perl harbor. I ran out of class and just started crying in the hall way. I never want to go back. What should I do? Why would they pick on my just because i look different? I'm sure they would be mad if I made fun of their nationality, race or otherwise, why should they inflict me with such sorrows if they wouldn't want it brought apon them? And what is normal anyway? why do people ridicule those whom are not the same as they when they are different form others as well? The office staff won't do anything because they don't know who the people are and they think that "Oh it's ok, since you're new it was a joke!" hahahahah! what a wonderful joke you make me cry lot of laughs! And i thought high school students were like adults.

Do you think they do it because sometimes the pain they hold within is so great that they actually need to give themselves a valid reason as to why they hurt so bad inside?

I know I am. Most people are. But why ? Why are most people lazy, even when it comes to things they know will benefit them in the long run. Was just wondering (bored, really).

I always do my work, and when i decide to put my work aside for a little while, i keep thinking about it, and get very anxious. I can't relax myself! I never really have time to just do nothing because we always have homework and projects to do. (mostly from my evil S.S teahcer. she just loves to make us upset). My 'doing nothing' is coming here and answering and askind questions.

Is it just a little ok to think about my work first?
if not, how do i keep my anxious mind off of it?
