I can understand why we NEED money. But most people are just too addicted with the thought of earning more & more without realizing they have no purpose for it. Some people are just happy holding lots of cash in their hands without knowing how or what to spend them on. It's a little ridiculous. I mean, is enough EVER enough? My neighbor spent all of his life working as hard as he can & obsessed with having a big wealthy bank account with lots of zeros. Has up to a year vacation, he wouldn't travel anywhere. still doesn't want explore the world, doesn't care about his family, his wife forced him to give his daughter one out of the nine houses that he has & he later on confessed that he wanted to commit suicide because he didn't want to give up his property. It's true. I was shocked. I could never imagined such kind of soul would exist . I mean, he has everything he needs, & it's time for retirement (which all of his coworkers already did) Why is it that people are so greedy

Is it a need to receive confirmation for an issue from a person that you know very well, yourself? Why do we talk to ourselves (besides mental disorders)?

Not saying this in any mean way, i was just wondering why they are ugly? And when you see one you KNOW he/she is r-tarded. Are there cute/handsome r-tards? Why can't they ever work their arms-hands right? Why do they always yell illegible words? Why are they in high schools; what do they do in there? Do they graduate??

Hello, im currently a junior in high school, and my last yr of high school is around the corner, so i started to think what to do afterwars, and i always considered to be a surgeon, and i know medicine is a very serious profession, and that theres is very little room to screw up, so now im having doubts if to do it because i see myself in school right now, and i dont have that much of enthusiasm when it comes to do tests and hard work, also i dont think im up for all the work, and time that i have to spend...and well im shy person, like if im in a group i wouldnt talk unless someone does to me, and i cant keep up a conversation, and I know if i wanna be what i wanna be in life it would take all the things that im having problems with. so im afraid if i cant do it at all.

Is it similar to old people becoming chilish in old age, just at an earlier age?

But maybe they never really "grew up"?
I am refering to people , who in their 30's , should be thinking and acting like adults, are instead very childish in their thoughts and behavior. Thinking about childish , trivial things and throwing temper tantrums, if not getting their childish demands?
I am being serious here, what is the biological or phychological reason this could happen?

For years I have searched for new methods of humiliation ranging from minor chat online to public shows for up to 8 females at one show. Most of the humiliation is done through various methods of corporal punishment. Yes, the pain hurts and in often unbearable but the sight of those females enjoying themselves allows me to overcome the extreme pain and of course come back for more later. What is your thoughts on why someone would allow this to be done to them? And were should the line be drawn?

I have an intense fear of snakes. Ophidianphobia, I think it is. Just thinking about snakes gives me the chills. (And I'm reading "Redwall" in which one of the villians is a humongo snake. Greeeaaat....) I can NOT tolerate them. Sometimes my dad says "Come and see the snake. You have to face your fear!" And I tell him, "I can't!"
Just can't.
Do you have a phobia like this? How servere is it?

What do you think of beastiality? Is it a sick act or just a type of sexual preference?

Some people seem fake - somehow they seem like they are putting on an act, while others seem genuine, even if they say or do the same thing. What is it that distinguishes a person who is fake from a person who is genuine or authentic? Please be as specific as possible! :)

Okay, don't think I'm a freak, but i have a MAJOR fear of baloons. And I mean major.

I've had this phobia of baloons ever since I can remember. Whenever I go to parties that i'm invited to, they always hide the baloons because they know i'm afraid.

I stopped being friends with this one girl because she popped a baloon in my face. OMG, I had a panic attack and had to leave school, I literally cried the rest of the day and couldn't sleep.

One time, me and some of my friends decided to help me overcome the fear. I tried to touch a baloon, but as soon as I touched it, it popped!!! I was so scared that I ran out of my house and down the block crying. Just writing this makes me shiver.

I'm even scared of pictures of baloons, even cartoon ones.

Does anyone know how to get over this fear (I already go to a phsychiatrist, but that isn't helping).

I am writing a paper for my arguement-based research class discussing parents having too little faith in minors (say, ages 16 and 17) and in making choices for their children, sometimes doing them more harm than good. My arguement is that if a student has the abilities to function and behave in a responsible manner, they should be given more freedom and the Age of Consent laws upheld by individual states should benefit more the child than the adult. I would like to hear the view point of psychologists, whether you agree or disagree with my arguement, and possible cite my responses as sources (for which I will also request permission from you).

what drives your life? We all have a force, an object or a goal in our lives that drives us to be better than we are or to obtain more than we have, be it God, family, money, power etc...

For me it was a moment. When I felt all was lost and was ready to give up and die. 11 medicines 3 times a day, the loss of my hair and the inability to function at school. I went in for my routine treatment, the doc looked at me and said over the last month the cancer subsided and went into remission. It was gone, it was my momment I had prayed for for almost 2 years. It was the brightest day of my life to this day. I remember it vividly 11 years later as I remember the day I was diagnosed.

What drives your life to be better? We dont have much time. No matter what religion you follow, the little time we have here is nothing comparred to eternity. I ask myself often, 'What are you doing to make your life better?'.

How bout you? What keeps you going?

I'd have invisibility, telepathy and telekenesis. I think that with those three I could deal with pretty much any situation that comes my way in everyday life. I wouldn't feel the need to go on a crusade for justice and the power of good though, I'd just go on a quest for the easy life.. Like sneaking up on the bank manager and making him believe in his mind that my debts could be wrote off. And letting staff know if I wanted fries with that, before they'd asked. Just little things like that to make my life easier.

What would you do?
