Psychology - November 2006

Everything about this person says that they care for me, but when i look in there eyes i cant see anything. Its very blank and distant. Am i reading it all wrong? Is the person distancing themself emotionally?

I've never really been much of a social person; never been able to find people like myself, who think like me, who feel like me, who believe what I believe. Most of the time socializing is an enormous emotional drain, because I have to be so accommodating to others' behaviors. And from time to time I find myself feeling so alien, so ridiculous, so freakishly different that I simply cannot function. This was supposedly normal when I was in puberty, but I turn 40 next month, and the feelings have only deepened over time. The world seems so cruel and bleak sometimes: I can't fix it; I can't escape it; and I can't stand it.
I want to believe that the problem is me, that I should change myself, lower my expectations of other people. I can't seem to do that, though; foolish as it is, I expect people to act reasonably and responsibly. Why is that an unreasonable expectation? And why am I held to a reasonable standard while others are not?
Where are *my* people?

Every time I post something even mildly funny/sarcastic people rate it with a thumbs down. Do you really not understand sarcasim? or do you have to take everything quite so literally? I really do not know thats why im asking the question?

my friend has one boob bigger that the other but in a very in your face way people stare at her when we walk around town together. I have tried to convince her that she should get a bra that is padded in one breast but she said it feels uncomfortable. Is it wrong to feel un easy when I go out with her

Do you think eliminating the taboo of sex will eliminate the desire for young females to aspire to be sexually attractive objects?

This isn't relative to me, but a friend of mine, whose behavior I've been observing for awhile now. I'm a first year psychology student and after observing, I am curious. Basically, the story is this: I know a person who is 18 years old and have known them awhile. Basically, the kid is what you'd call a wimp. A bit submissive, doesn't stand up for himself, the usual characteristics. And from seeing his parents, his Father is what you'd call submissive too. So this is my question: is this kid sensitive by nature or is it something that he learned from Dad? Another nature vs. nurture argument, I know, but I am curious. Will this kid ever be able to acquire the mental toughness? Is it in him? Or is it something deeply rooted, he will likely continue to be submissive? And would there be any techniques to acquire the mental toughness or would it be more something they would learn from life experiences? Answers are greatly appreciated.

I was asleep for about 7hours (was awake previously for roughly 42hours) and I wake up in the middle of the night "completely" paralyzed... I couldn't move a muscle... Yet I felt myself moving in my dream.

So... Yeah it was quite odd... I kept on trying to wake myself up.. I guess wake myself up "more" (I was fully conscious) and could only move myself in my "dream state".

With one big jerk I was finally able to move and with that new ability I got into a new position and slept again ^_^

I only remembered it now so I happened more than 14 hours ago.
So my question to you people is "what happened?"
Ask for more details if you want, I really want to get tot he bottom of this.

The other day I was asking someone why it is that I am always getting so hung up and attached to guys that I have just met and like. The person told me it was probably because when I was young I would cling to a man and use it as a defense mechanism to get out of my problems. I thought about it and it made since because if I was ever upset I would always run to my papa to save me. Now it has carried over into adulthood. I guess I am looking for a white knight,someone to save me,a wonderwall I guess you'd call it. It's like I meet certain types of guys I click with and I get attached to them too quickly. It's almost always the ones with the bad boy type image. Also I have the urge to take care of them and nurture them. What the piss is wrong with me? When will I get my head out of the clouds?

I feel as if when I drink I become a much better version of myself. I am way more sociable and able to talk with just about anyone about anything.Last time I was all over the whole bar and I talked to I'd say about 90% of the ppl there.People seem to like me much more because I become confident and fun. I can actually approach guys when I am drunk and take charge. I can say anything and it makes me feel on top of the world. I'm no alcoholic, but do you think I could ultimately become one?

The heart can't "think", right? If so, then do feelings come from the mind? Then why does my heart (as in the center of my chest, inside) hur when i'm sad, confused and such?

JUST ASKING!!
