Psychology - January 2007

Do you think that explaining love in terms of biological processes and evolutionary functions strips it of its beauty and meaning? I've heard some say it does. I say that regardless of how love originates or is explained, it's behaviors remain the same, so why not try to fully understand it? What do you think?

I believe sometimes pretty people can get away with things trolls couldn't or those not considered beautiful-although beauty is in the eye of the beholder....let's face it-if you have the body and face over someone who has the brains; but not the looks-sometimes people being shallow and all will hire you or date you-because if it's ncie they want it. What is your opinion?

ok, lets say you die right..you get shot in the heart lets just say..but the brain is still intact..and i sometimes wonder...if the brain is still intact..maybe the dead one can still hear...and see..if eyes open..but cannot control body...just still....now..that would just suck..

My boyfriend ALWAYS has to make new friends everywhere: elevator, parking lot, bathroom, walking, ALL THE TIME !
I love to have friends too, but I'm starting to think his excessive look for friendship could mean in psycology a hidden need for acceptance and being uncapable of enjoy life without been surrounded with other people.
Sometimes it's really UNBEARABLE ... He just runs to introduce himself and interrupt other's people life or conversation, and starts to narrate his life boring the others.
He thinks is excellent to be friendly, but I think this excess means something.
ANY PSYCOLOGIST ON DUTY?

I don't mean the annoyance of the alarm going off, or that very aware feeling being pissed off at the world that you have to get up...

I mean the first thoughts that you have as you're actually transitioning through that foggy area between sleep and wake (like, maybe what you would experience on a Saturday morning, when there is no alarm). What are your first conscious thoughts like?

I have been to two doctors both seems to think that im in good shape.Blood pressure is fine,heart sounds strong and lungs clear.I also have a friend that is a nurse says there seems to be nothing wrong with me.I went to the doctors because I could hear my heartbeat and they said it was a benign condition caused by weight loss.I take meds for depression and see a therapist often,but when I start to feel that all is well fear strikes me again.I have seen so many commericals about heart attack and read so much im like one of those med students that diagnosis everything they read about.Im in my 50's and everywhere you turn there is something about heart attack or stroke.Now every time something doesnt feel right or sound right about my heart I worry and every little thing that could resemble a stroke just terrifies me.I want to get on with my life without worry.. How can I do that? I never realized how fragile we are and have never worried about this before.I cant get it off my mind.

This is gonna sound dramatic and perhaps stupid and deluded but...
it was one day when it was pouring down outside and i suddenly just got the notion to go outside.So i stood in the rain,and all these thoughts just rushed through my head and i realised exactly why i was having my current problem,and what i had to do to solve it and how to live my life from then on.the funny thing is i'm only 15,but i've been told by adults,by teachers, that i'm really mature for my age.i dont want to grow up to fast,but i feel a change.Like,i realised if something bad happens to me,i need to be strong and get past it because there's no point in dwelling.And i realised exactly what i want to do with my life this year,and i felt really positive,i've never felt this way before.I just feel a change.It confuses me and i dont really know what it is.Any ideas?

There was a period in my life, where I was depressed. I believe I got over it, though it was hard times. ( I was cutting myself and sleeping away my life basically) Though now, I can have one night of mopyness, (say not having ANYONE to be with for new years ect..) and BAM I feel depressed again. IT will probably pass quicker than it did in the past, but it hits me out of no where, and I feel like I have no reason to feel this way. But I do. Not alot of people understand. And yes, I have been to a therapist. She was pointless.

I regularly see a person at my AA meeting who claims 10 years of continuous sobriety I enjoy talking to this person and found a wonderful warm ,generous person with a great sense of humor. I tried a free trial on a popular dating site and saw this person on there looking for a partner or (whatever.) But the profile of this person did not sound at all like the person I thought I knew!. This person said they drank cheap whiskey and tequilla on a regualr basis and was into animal sacrifice and all kinds of voodoo and wiccan. The thing which disturbed me was the fact that this person is claiming to party every day on booze and then comes to an AA meeting and claims to be sober. Should I confront this person ?

I think most people don't really think about it and just say yes, but have you asked yourself if you are happy with your life??

If stranded on a life raft or a remote place with no other sources of food and weeks away from rescue would you eat a dead casualty to survive till rescue. Would you vow your body as food if you die to the remaining survivors?

I am happily married with a wonderful child but lately am confused as to why things are the way they are- I believe in God but am not religious and lately am consumed with the overall population and behaviors as a WHOLE versus just my happy piece. It just seems as if we are living in world where women are stuck with childbirth beauty standards and hormones (which cause mood swings) while men only have pressure for success. So, on top of this, I am tying this into men who frequent strip clubs while they are married- is this God's plan to make men disrespect women by sticking them with all of these things while in return he has not hotwired women to disrespect men? It seems as if men have no problems seeing other women's GOODS while most women were not made to do that. Those types of guys are basically publicing admitting they wish their wife looked that way- so while some of them behave this way, was it God's plan to make women with the shorter end of stick and disrespected or what?

I was about 10 years old and never went skiing in my life and I dreamed that I was skiing and kept falling until I would ski with slightly bent knees, then I never fell. I remembered the dream my first time skiing, and never fell except when I got to the bottom of the hill and needed to stop and at the time did not know how to snow plow.

I'm lookin' for someone who will help me with this. My fear sometimes paralyze me, and I can't concentrate on anything. I'm 26, no health problems. Is there any group in London where I can seek help? Or maybe You know someone who won with this phobia. Any book titles will help too. Please, answer only if You can really help me. "Don't worry" or "Be more optimistic" are just empty words for me. I don't have depression, I've got normal life, just sometimes when I think about it it totally ruin my few next days...

I am shocked!!! To say the least. I think he knows I caught him. He turned around and saw me. He began to cover his 3.5 inches up and his face turned bright red. We haven't spoken all day. I am upset my Jerkins hand lotion has been disappearing; now I know why. Should I break the silence? Make a joke about it? Pretend it didn't happen, or what? Stupid "Britney Spears" caused all this drama. Can't we girls stop flashing our goods for the sake of little brothers world wide? He just turned 15
