Psychology - January 2007

One of your friends comes out to you with "I'm gay." Does that change your opinion of them as a person? Do you think being gay is bad or good or do you not care? Why?

Please do not curse or swear at or about people if you think being gay is bad or brings down the value of a person.

Your whole family was murdered, you saw it, and you remember the whole thing every day for the rest of your life, every time you go sleep or walk down the street or sit on a bus.

The criminals have been sentenced to life in a terrible prison system. The only kind of justice a society can enact has been enacted. You could care less because there are a million more of them out there.

Now what? You're young and trying to figure out how to survive and cope with the loss at the same time.

What would you do next and what would you say to yourself every morning when you wake up? If you decide to wake up?

Out of all my friends I was the last to lose my virginity (at the age of 18) and ever since then I've been wondering if there is something wrong with me. I will get intimate with people that I have only known very briefly and do things that I regret or feel dirty about later on. However, when I'm actually doing those things I feel like I should be doing them and don't even THINK about not doing them (the thought never even enters my mind). Then in very serious or long relationships I have a problem being intimate at all. I hate cuddling for long periods of time (it makes me feel sick) and I even once freaked out and had a large panic attack after sex. Every time I am with a guy (excluding my ex-fiance and current bf of 3 years who also has intimacy problems that differ from mine ) in a relationship and it gets too far emotionally I end up hating the relationship and getting out of it as fast as I can. What may be the reason I am this way?

Just a good chance to share. Here's mine:

I'm at a train station..but everything is a gold color(like those old western photos you can do at the beach) and the train is running through the wall next to me. About 20 people (the same people every time) and I can't hear because the train is deafening. I get frustrated and wake up every time. It's now to a point where I wake up kind of happy though..weird.

What's yours?

Do you just sometimes suddenly stop what you are doing, and wonder what you are working and slogging yourself over?

Recently, I did.

And it surprised me that my good friends and family came to mind, unlike before.

When it comes to serious issues, I mean. Just the mere entertaining of such thoughts...

(I play devil's advocate here)

Looking for creativity. What is the one thing that you hope happens repeatedly for you in the future or what is the thing that you hope keeps on happening for you (if you already have it).

The thing for me is picnics. I hope that when I have a family the constant will be Sundays out w/ my family playing games and just living it up...outdoors!! That'd make everything perfect regardless of all the other stuff.

I'm just interested in what people are looking forward to. I'm kind of sick of too many negative questions. It's better to think of these things..it makes it easier to get over the negatives. Thanks.

There is not nearly enough characters allowed here to post my whole story, so I will shorten it alot.

First off, I'm 15 years old, 16 on Feb 11.

I have been overcome with a fear of the end of the world for a few years now, Started a while ago when I saw a story about Mayan prophecies.

Over the past year I've gotten over most of my fear of the end, most of the times I don't think it will happen soon, then other times I will hear something on the news that frightens me, and I'll end up being scared for about a week, then get over it (Really annoying, heh)

So does anyone know how to get over this fear? I just heard on the news that the weather parts of the US are receiving was predicted in the bible. Is there any truth to this?

I'm not a very religious person, I do believe in a god, but not the one popularized by the bible.

Alot of people today are big..... and some people who are small and not so nice are crude to them for this... they blame it on them... and say it is their fault they are large.... but until a small person is in a larger persons shoes they will never know how it hurts them or effects their lives..... so my quetsion... how does it effect you (large or small) or people you know?

When a person is confused about the details of a specific situation and gives you an option e.g 2 or 3 (He says, "I'm not sure 2 or 3.") which one is the most likely. This is just something I've been thinking about.

for me, i like doing well in school, making a lot of money, having my hair done nicely, being slim, not worrying about anything, feeling a sense of purpose, having a man that i love in my life, and being around my family (well most of them), and listening to and making music, and having good, true friends that i can laugh and joke around with.

Lawyers dont risk their lives, are not in any danger, dont have to do any strenuous work, if anything they should be paid less. Do you really think you can give an answer that would possibly change my mind? Do you think you are so wise and knowlegeable that you can say the first thing that pops into your mind and I will go, "wow I never thought of that before"? They go to university, "wow thats clever", give it your best shot i could use a good laugh.

How do I improve my oral communication skills. I tried reading more, looking up words in the dictionary, but no matter what I do I get mental blocks and stuck for words, it is like there is nothing in my memory...it is like my brain is empty. I even have a degree but sound like I do not have more than grade 10.
