Psychology - January 2007

In my job i drive every day and experienced a case of road rage directed at me today. I acted undeterred by it but in reality it shook me up. Why are some drivers so nasty? I don't get that way and i drive alot daily.

I mean, really. Our company just hired a temp receptionist, and every horny technician, guys who you normally NEVER see in the lobby, are hanging out there, trying to make the girl laugh. They're sniffing her out like a bunch of dogs. I'm surprised one of them hasn't pissed on her to mark his territory.

I understand being single and horny, but even when I was single, I didn't behave like an idiot. Well, I actually did behave like an idiot most of the time, but not in this particular manner.

From time to time I gain insight into what it is I must do to feel better about myself and how I must live my life to be happier. It seems that I am unable to keep these thoughts in the forefront of my mind. It’s as though I have a problem concentrating or focusing long enough on these thoughts to insight an action that would propel me to the realization or manifestation of the desires the thoughts instill. I know what it is I must do but somehow fail to do it. It is as if there is some malfunction between having the knowledge and acting on that information. What could be obstructing me from taking action?

I am stunned at the level of bad grammer, poor spelling, no capitalization, etc. that people allow when they ask or answer a question. What you publish is a reflection of your effort, intent and care. Why present a profoundly flawed statement and still expect people to value what you say? I am baffled and somewhat disheartened. Any insights will be helpful.

Every generation has a constituency of people who feel like everything was perfect in the past and that society is quickly and irrevocably going down hill in every way possible. Some go so far as to predict the imminent end of the world within their lifetimes. Otherwise simply complain about certain aspects of society.

You know the type: the 40-something guy who thinks that music was at its apogee in the 1980's and has been nothing but crap since, as if his parents and grand-parents and great-grand-parents didn't lament about the same thing; the recluse who complains about how all marriages were perfect and all children were innocent and respectful in his day; the suburban housewife who predicts the death of American culture at the hands of ethnic and religious minorities, as if our culture were some immutable constant that had remained unchanged since 1776 only to die as foreign foods & tongues and imagined anti-Christmas sentiment proliferated.

Is there a name for this tendency?

It seems that I have to work twice as hard as everyone else to stay organized at work! I make lists and have a place for everything so I can stay on top of my work load.
But sadly, as soon as things start to heat up and get stressful I am making mistakes. Sometimes obvious mistakes! How do I stay in control and not get flustered when I am in a stressful situation???
The ADD has always made it difficult for me to succeed at a job or go to school! Now I have a job I love and I use so much energy just trying to stay at required performance!
I know that many people with ADD have successful careers, but I haven't figured out HOW!!!
I do take Ritalin, and it helps A LOT! But I also understand that I need to learn skills to compensate for the ADD.
Please Help!!!

How do you find your happiness and contentment? Is it drinking a cup of tea or a glass of scotch? Does it come from your family and friends or maybe a more spiritual source?

If the fantasy that drives us blinds up to the value of what is real and possible, we're doubly lost: neither perfect nor able to gracefully "be" ourselves. We abide in the famous zone dubbed by Freud as "neurotic misery".

Is the impulse to be better ultimatly the toxin that destroys relationships?
Are we being uphappy because we cannot be who we want to be instead of accepting who we are?
Is having a dream ultimatly the dagger to the heart?

IMO, the 3% of the population that are psychopaths are responsible for 99% of the world's misery. This question has been asked before on Answers and elicited alot of opinions but I'm more curious about serious scientific attempts to address this issue. Thanks.

It's always a different place and person. I'm running and running non-stop and just when I think they finally got me I somehow figure out a way to get away by jumping from buildings, swimming across rivers, etc but a few seconds later they are right on my tail and I'm running for my life again.

Ever since I started taking Prozac 2 years ago, all I could do is lay on the couch. I'm constantly tired, call in sick all the time, and let my bills pile up so high they were out of control. I recently stopped taking it and have never felt better! I am also dealing better with problems. Do you think antidepressants help depressed people cover up and avoid things?

Is it wrong not to be patriotic too?

I dont feel that I should have any special ties or pledges to any countries of any sort eccept for cultural. Also under no terms would I ever want to join the militry, I find it quite pointless and redundant and I would NEVER do it. I feel that my life is way more important and I would never risk it to be in the army. The only way I would risk my life is to help someone else(if I knew I could) Also if something goes down here I would be the first one at the airport leaving for another country. I don't pledge allegance to the flag because it seems hypocritical.

Am I wrong? Should I be patriotic and have a sense of nationalism toward America.? because I know i feel the same way eaqually about all countries. Is it wrong for me not to want to protect "my country" in the line of duty even though it may mean risking my life?
