Psychology - February 2007

I believe that if you do not know enough about a subject to be able to argue both sides of the issue intelligently, then you do not understand the issue well enough to even have a valid opinion.

I finally got up the nerve to ask my crush(my trainer) to 'hang out". i text messaged him asking him that we should hang out soon and he text messaged me back ten minutes later...that he would, although it have to be the next time he gets paid because he's broke as a joke" quote on quote.. andas we conversated furthur he went on furthur to say that he's a shy guy when it comes to women because he's afraid or rejection.. I asked him does he fell confident enough to get with an attractive woman..and he said yes but usually and he's not in pursuit .. well, he said it depends what mood he's in...How would you feel about this guy after this converation...if he hadn't called you yet... Should I call him?


I know in the past he has invited me to his church group(but never came through on his invite)..and he invited me to workout with him(never followed through)..but he has told me that if I ever hang out to call him..so we can hit up a movie..so I did..

When i first entered college I was this very cheerful and smiley guy. I was shy around people I just met but opened up once I got to know people. I had a very goofy sense of humor and would do anything to get a laugh. Girls loved me. Over the years I have matured (or gotten bitter, not sure which one) due to failed relationships and other trials and tribulations of life, which I need not get in to. I have become a much quieter and reserved guy. I smile a lot less and am much more serious than I used to be. A few girls have been attracted to me (as the strong and silent type i've been told) but I no longer seem to have the magnetic personality I used to have 5 or 6 years ago. Whats happened to me? Is this is a downward spiral?

Are there any recent cases where fathers dont let their daughters date or love any other men? If so did that affect their love life when the father died or if they moved away from their father?

My 21 year old daughter and I have a long history of issues. She caused a lot of problems in my home with disrespect to me. She also had a substance abuse problem. Unfortunately she manipulated both ends quite a bit and her bio father was emotionally and physically abusive to me so we ended up divorcing when she was only 2. I have been remarried for 14 years. My daughter sent me an awful email, telling me f---you, etc. I hate you, etc, to me. I was devastated. She also tried to get in my home without my permission after she moved out of state. I had no choice at the time by getting an order of protection. I didn't speak to her for 8 months. We are now conversing via email. She did say she was very sorry for saying those things. She gave me her cell phone number and asked me to call her. We had a very nice conversation. Now she sends me an email telling me that her grandmother is paying for the phone and she's not allowed to speak to me using the cell. I am very upset. When she lived

I mean, I feel like people are going to perceive me differently if I lose my hair, and I hate that feeling. Even if people do perceive me differently, how do I keep my confidence level up?

I am a 22 yr old undergrad,I am a pretty calm and quiet person when I am sober, nothing seems to bother me and I live a pretty toned down existence, no girls, no socializing, just work and school.All my emotions are in my head, kinda bland actually, but after I start drinking I become loud and most people respond to me better because I become a funny, loud smartass/ happy go lucky, I don't like to get drunk because I get extremely depressed the next morning after I drink, but not drinking affects my life. I find it hard to talk to women sober, because everything is in my head, my parents don't understand my problem, and they would condemn the drinking issue, but there is more to the problem I think, so my dilemma is should I just forget about my problem, or try to live my life as sober as possible or just stop worrying about it?

I ask this question because I am 22, I have lived my life outside of my home as an introvert, always quiet and calm, but at home with my family I am a extrovert, always expresssing myself, i am quite hot tempered, and quick to make jokes, but as soon as I leave my home, I become quiet, which is who I really am, this affects my life severely and I have noticed it since I was about 16 but it never really bothered me until now, this is a problem, because I come off as quiet to many people, then when I try to voice my self it is pretty freakin awkward, but as soon as I go home, I can talk with my parents and everything comes out fine, it takes me a good while to get to know people and develop friendships because of this problem, I consider myself very kind and understanding, but I think because I am quiet people perceive me as cold, or something I am a not, this affects my whole life, girls, socializing, school, is this a problem or the beginning to a serious problem?

I have been trying to figure out what "me" is.

If I can figure it out, it will help understand how to prolong life.

I know I am, and I know I am me, but:

I think of me in my body. Were I to have my arms and legs cut off, they would cease being me, yet I still am.

Were all my body cast away and my brain was on life support, still, I am.

But the brain is not me. I am, and I am independent, with my own thoughts and desires.

Where do these thoughts and desires come from? How am I me?

What makes me think, know that I am, makes me a "conscious" being, aware that I simply am?

How do I define the real me, where is the information for "me" really stored?

What is conscience?

I have been trying to figure out what makes me me, how I know that I am.

I need to teach my wife how to be more patient with the children. She is having a lot of problems with them but I think what she needs is to learn how to be more patient with them and to be more disciplined with her self. The children are learning from her. I can get them to improve their behaviour but it takes time and she is not happy either with my method (which needs patience) or the time it takes for things to improve. She beleives that I am teaching them the bad behaviour but I do not spend much time with them.

okay so where to begin. to start offever since i was about 10 i started having these dreams about this girl, who in reality i have never met, but in these dreams this girl and me had a reallly good relationship. she was the one i'm sure of it. the thing is each dream from when i was 10 to about 16, 17im now 19, was different...it almost seemed real. After about 16 the dreams stopped about her. i had no idea who this was, and i really didnt know what to make of it because to me it was just a dream..but it always has been in the back of my mind here and there. so about 4 days ago i was on this site with my buddy, he was showing me this site...like a dating site for teens. so i started roaming it and came to this profile of this girl who looked exactly like the girl in my dreams. i read of her personality and she is exactly the same as in my dreams. from the moment i saw this picture i felt an attraction i have not felt ever with a first look. did my dream mean something?
