Psychology - November 2006

I'm not a psych major, nor a genius, but I pay attention to how others react. Whether or not people realise it, there are patterns of behavior. To me, it seems simple to identify what the possibilities are, and by understanding the possibilities, people can be categorized. Obviously, no two people are alike due to the vast possibilities of different combinations of choices, but as with anything, categories are fitting within certain limits. If you base your ideology on the fact that most people live by morals, only occasionally breaking them, you can understand why people do what they do. Although it's true that you can't identify all people this way, it applies at least 95% of the time. Would anyone else agree to this or am I a moron for thinking I understand the impossible?

I feel a lot of inadequacy between who i am and who i want to be.
like when comparing my ideal behavior to my actual behavior.
or my ideal strength/balance/muscles/posture to my actual stuff.
Have been studying peace pilgrim's spiritual journey and i feel i am on that path but ... so far to go ...

What do you think? If a person cheerfully and willingly does something to help another and finds some kind of personal satisfaction in it are they more caring than a person who begrudgingly performs an action in behalf of another? Does sacrificing time and/or resources indicate a greater level of caring than just offering time, kindness and service?

There is a debate raging in our household regarding this topic. Neutral parties' opinions are greatly appreciated.

ohkay i have a few friends that are like some sort of a master at manipulation, i am an honest guy and i like them but when they start manipulating me and playing with my emotion that i feel towards them, it hurts me as it seems that my emotions is like a garbage, play around and throw it away.

So this has been a problem for me, i even try to talk to them about how it actually hurt my emotion (without being all emotional and whiny) and i found it hard to trust them, they said sorry but a couple of weeks later they done it again....

Now im fed up of it, i want to show them how its like to feel being manipulated, but the problem is i cant manipulate even a goat!

So maybe you have a solution or know some way
thanks for help

hug and kisses for everyone

for example, the jews, blacks...and other groups..now it is the homosexuals...what is society perpetuating like this? isn't it the time we realize, yes we all different, but we can still work together?

ANOTHER QUESTION. it says we're all the same, that is doublethink since we're actually not.

so why don't we all think of jews as a different like specie, blacks as a different specie, gays as a different specie..would that solve anything? JUST A thought. people keep thinking we're all the same...so we must act the same, thats where they are wrong

But my sister has always noticed that her son likes to play emotional mind games and bawling is a sense in getting people in trouble, including her with husband, and getting his way in stores, and mostly everyday life. This child has never before brought this game to the table at school it was always kept at home use. Her husband's mother lives with them and she has this same attitude if she doesn't get her way a story of great levels is told and spread through the grapevine to get her way one way or the other. How can I help my sister take control of her life and help her son not end up like grandma dearest and have the husband back her?

I have heard that many women complained that it was sexist and I have noticed that bits have since been cut out!!
As a woman I had no problem with it infact it made me smile as it is typical of many male friends of mine and of course my husband loves it too.
What are your views?

We both had web-cams with clear pictures and vocals... I played my own one band orchestra, and she played hers.. I climaxed, and so did she... The pro's - no strings attached, no diseases, just as fufilling ( my opinion ) with a total stranger.. Don't report me, I'm serious and I just want to know what others thought about this clean way of having sex. Comments please. Thankyou.

Any suggestions on how to overcome procrastination and some degree of laziness? There is this big project that I have been putting of for years and by so doing I have missed out on better carrier opportunities. I work and all but I can’t figure out why I am just not motivated to do any educational upgrading in order to get better. I’ve noticed how some people cut corners and brake the rules and manage to be well off with no or little education. Was wondering why is it so hard to finish what we start and how to overcome the unproductive habit of putting things of because we think we can do without?
Thanks to all who take the time.
