why do so many people send questions(intended as answers) that were never intended to be answers!!!! only insults!!! why do they comment against the person asking the question rather than actually trying to answer it?

Why do some "unattractive" people have high self esteem? Why do some traditionally "attractive" people have low self esteem? What is the secret to the average person thinking highly of themself?

i have this intense fear of driving. i was in a car accident a few years ago and that made me not want to learn how to drive even more. People tell me "oh, you will get over it once u learn and get use to it" but i don't even want to learn that's how terrified i am.

I really need to learn how to drive. I want to. Im just so petrified. Is there anything i can do to overcome my fear?

OK. this is going to sound really small and petty but its really bothering me. I have a facebook profile (its just another myspace site) and I think I want to shut it down. I was sort of pressured to go on it and also I wanted to but the whole thing is driving me insane and making me depressed. I'm the kind of person, who I like everybody and everybody has to like me. So if I have a friend on there I feel like I have to be friends with their friends, and their boyfriends and girlfriends or they'll think I'm a ahole, but then again I don't always know these friends of friends and I worry that I'll get rejected, and I fear that so much. It always bothers me and makes me depressed. Especially sicne one person accepted my friend request one night and then removed me a few hours later and that really bothered me. I've been depressed ever since, paranoid that everybody just hates me. I also worry that people think I'm arrogant because I added so many people in so little time, people i don't think they knew that I knew that well. And I added all of them. I don't want them to think I'm arrogant. especially since I'm not really popular, sort of liked I'd say, but not really popular, and I'm friends with some of the people the more popular kids are friends with, like seniors that graduated last year. I've just been paranoid about that, and I'm depressed, and I don't really think taking it down would make me feel any better but I just think then I'd be out of this whole thing. I also don't know if there is any "social" damage that getting rid of it would reverse it, not change it, or even make it worse. But I mean everybody has one now, and people added me as a friend just yesterday and invited me to be in an internet group and I don't want to be rude and take it down the day after. And a few people seemed happy that i got it just a few days ago. And I also don't want to lose touch with the people that graduated last year and want them to know that I like them. Sometimes I think people don't realize I like them because I just don't talk much but i like everybody. SO what do you think I should do? The main question is should I get rid of it.?

I have two.

One is about elevators. I get into an elevator (the setting can vary). The elevator is going along, and then all of a sudden it goes completely nuts and starts going sideways and diagonally - never to the bottom, always to the top of whatever building I'm in. Doing loop-de-loops and everything, and eventually it exits the top of the building. I don't get hurt and the dream ends there.

The other dream is about being in a boat - again, settings vary. I get in the boat with others and shortly after that the boat just flips completely out of the water and lands upside down, with me trapped in a shallow amount of water. I always get out into the bubble of air contained in the seating area.

These dreams freak me out - they're really scary while they're happening, even though I don't die in them.

Thoughts?

What is the psychological motivation behind people who enjoy eating their own kind? (even if they aren't serial killers, but say stole some human from a morgue.) I know reasons for cannibalism varies across societies, but I'm interested in an American perspective.

I'm interested in whether exercise improves well-being and whether such an effect depends on sex of the participant. Using an appropriate psychometric, I will examine their well-being scores before and after a typical training session in 10 males who are recruited from a local senior rugby team and 10 females who are recruited from a local junior athletics club. What are the potential validity issues and how would I overcome them. I was thinking of using a mixed model design to analyze the data?

I don't know much about how this works. She isn't the type to seek help herself. She hasn't been right for some time now. I'll spare you the details but there is definitely something wrong upstairs. Can I just call the hospital and tell them she's a nutter? Do they still come and get people and take them away in a van?

So what do people think a recurring dream in which my teeth fall out would mean? Am I becoming impotent? Should I try to kill my mother? Am I craving pudding or some other food that doesn't require teeth? Do I just need to brush more? Any thoughts?

And I do mean REALLY suffer? For a longer period of time?

I do know from experience, when you are pretty/handsome. People will
always take the time to help you, guide you, even come up to you while you dont know them and talk to you.

When you are ugly, people wont even bother looking at you when they give you back
your change at the registry at a local supermarket.
They (almost) practically just throw it at you and wont touch your hand.
Theres lots and lots you wont be ble to do or get done, it's harder anyway,
when you are not that "appealing to the eye"

Leads me to this conclusion that when pretty people say they also suffer, they are just BS-ing.
They probably feel some social pressure and dont want to come off as everything is practically handed to them, cuz
thats not so cool to be associated with.
Can pretty people really suffer for a longer peiod of time in this world?
When theres always 20 standing ready to help them?
Am I right/am I wrong?
Name examples

I'm assuming their are schools or apprenticeships...but how do you find out which ones are reputable? I also heard that you can be certified in 10 days at some schools which seems kind of short. Is this what professional hypnotist that you see go through? Is this all that is required or is their follow up training one most go through?
