Psychology - December 2006

I think the main thing the author adds to the lecture is the debate over emotions and Christians. I never really thought this topic would cause a debate. I think that we can use the lessons in the bible to control our emotions, but regardless of if you’re a sinner or a saint those emotions are there. You can repress them and not act on them, but they are there. To me the key is being in charge of your emotions. As far as anger goes I have personally come along way. I don’t know if it is a part of growing older and wiser, but I find myself asking questions before I get angry. If I think someone is being rude, I may confront them in a respectful way to understand where they are coming from, and usually you find they didn’t mean to come across that way. My biggest issue is that I truly try to be respectful to everyone around me, it is how I was raised, so if someone is not acting like I think is the right way I look at them as arrogant. For instance if I am at a ballgame I am not going to stand up if someone is behind me and block there view. To me that is common sense. Well go to a game and see how many times someone will stand up in front of you. In the past I would be rude, but I have learned with age that it likely that they aren’t meaning to be rude, they are just really not conscious of their surroundings. Now as far as road rage, I got a lot of growing up to do…

My hubby and I have some really great friends- but, upon recently going to their home for a little get-together...I was asked to remove my shoes. It was cold, I had no socks on, I had powder on my feet, and I just felt it was demeaning. Especially when I told her I had nothing on my shoes, and held one up, and she said, "I know what my yard is like". Granted, she went and got me some socks- but, because of health problems, it's difficult to even get my shoes on... and these had laces. How can someone who is usually so kind and considerate ask me to do this? I can understand my kids... I rent, too, but, I don't make her do that. Talking to her won't help. I can't change her- she even makes her husband do it. Some may say to quit going over there, but, they are our friends. And, even if I would decline, my hubby would not. Is it rude, or not? To ask us to take our shoes off. If i had been wearing slip-on,'s, and had pretty feet- it wouldn't have bothered me as badly.

Very, very strange.

I have a sudden and strong desire to start smoking. Now this is weird, because i'm 17 years old, live in a town just outside of a biiiiig city in the UK, and i've never had any pressure from my friends to smoke. In fact, almost NONE of them do! Those that do want to quit, it's not considered cool... my parents smoke roll-ups/joints, but they've never pressured me to, and for some reason i've just got a really strong desire to start smoking pre-made ciggies! I can't get over how weird this is - i'm very anti-smoking, I think it makes your breath stink, it gives you wrinkles and makes your teeth yellow, it's *so* gross, but for some reason I want to start smoking *so* bad!

C'mon guys, help me out here... WTF?

I am no longer interested in the things that I used to be interested in.
I no longer enjoy doing the things that I used to enjoy doing.
I am not interested in trying new things.

I hate feeling this way. I do virtually nothing all day long.

How can I deal with this on my own, aside from seeking counseling? (Note: I am opposed to the usage of psychiatric medications for myself.)

Do you think the killing would stop,get worse,remain the same or get a new leader,maybe Saddam again.Just think about it,suddenly we all just fade away gone. Would they become our friends. Do you think we should beat up every one who doesn't agree with us until they see it our way or the hiway and we all become friends and sleep in the same bed?

I think they should not be afraid to. I like guys that aren't afraid to show their sensitive side. Anyone agree?

I have been with my Girlfriend for 5 weeks now she has moved in with me in my little Flat. She has a lovely boy who is 6 month's old. After a week we kept arguing. And I have friends that are here all the time. We never get time alone, even at weekends when her child is at her mum's. I found her one day that she took my car so she could pick up my niegbour and bring him back. And my nieghbour asked if she could drive, even though she has no Licence. I was curious of that so I went to the local park round the corner that was dark and I found them in the car talking, so I confronted them when they pulled up. And they said that they were talking what should I think?

Why do men cheat? It feels good ? They can...or is there a deeper meaning behind it like self-esteem problems?

Does anyone else out there ever feel like they are DRIVEN to squander time, KNOWING that they have things they should be doing? I feel like it is an addiction, similar to drinking or smoking or porn. I can vow to stop and actually KNOW that I am wasting time, the moment that I'm doing it, and yet I plow ahead and waste more time, regretting it later. Anyone sympathize with this? Any psychologists out there who can answer it? Would a book help me or is this problem deeper than that?

Thanks!

If they're in danger or being hurt it's ok, but on a rollercoaster, at a concert or even when they just get a fright they scream, what's that about, men don't do that, they just shout WOOOOOOOOOOOO or something similar!

I've been through many more downs than ups in life. I've felt humiliated so many times, felt stupid. I've tried to pick up the pieces several times, stand up after every fall. But I keep on stumbling down. I don't trust myself to be open anymore and be true to my feelings, 'coz no one seems to appreciate that. I do my best to be nice yet also no one seems to appreciate that. Do you go through this? What do you do to make yourself feel better, make you trust yourself again?

If people were to lose out on seeing certain things because life had seemed to be cruel to someone this might be considered by some to be quite tragic.
