Psychology - February 2007

I know that men are generally better at spatial thinking and women are generally better at things like writing, but is there proof that one gender is smarter than the other?

I'd like some sources that aren't general experience.

I hear it is healthy for people to properly develop their secondary functions (mine would be Extroverted Intuition). My question is, what are some examples of extroverting intuition? What activities can I partake in to train myself? Can you point me to some resources please?

I am going to stay at my grandparents house this week. I have terrible anxiety and I am scared that I will get really nervous. I have a choice whether I go or not, but I really want to overcome my fear. If anyone has any ideas other than deep breathing and that junk so that I dont get scared please share them with me. Thank you so much. Isabel<3

There is this guy I like and we are dating but I had never told him about my feelings towards him. We had been seeing each other for about 8 months now. We never had intimate relationship yet. Anyhow while I was talking to him yesterday, I said to him maybe I should learn to ignore you at times. But I was just kidding . Instead he looked at me and said this " YOU WERE ALWAYS GOOD AT IGNORING ME EVEN WHEN WE WERE KISSING" . I went quiet didn't know what to say. Im still not sure what he meant by that? confused what is her trying to say?

I'm curious what volunteers experience at a stage hypnotist show. I've heard that there are some pretty bizarre things that happen at some shows or parties. Does anyone have any particularly funny experiences?

i have always been a kind and giving person, and i do not expect much in return, i always get enjoyment from the little things and i maintain an extrememly positive attitude, i am the most helpful person at work, but it seems lately that people have been treating me as though they are taking advantage of me, is it possible to be too helpful and nice, are most people in the world selfish and not willing to help others?

There is a good me, and an evil me. Good me considers others, enjoys making people happy - and that's really the primary me. Evil me enjoys itself regardless of others, and enjoys it when other people suffer misfortune. Evil me tends only to be triggered by certain people or events. Can anyone relate to this?

I am very shy and quiet around people I work with and also around my husband's family members. Sometimes, I am also shy and quiet around women (I am a woman). I am the complete opposite around men and gay men (really comfortable with them) and I feel that I can "be myself". Why is this? How do I get over this?

Are you, like me, in a job that doesn't do you justice because you could never focus on one aim in life?
I think that's my problem, thinking about it.

Is a victim of severe trauma (the most severe) not a survivor, is a survivor of same not a victim? How can we tell the difference?

2007-02-19 08:29:21 · 12 answers · asked by Anonymous

I am lost in a forest. I’m with a group of strangers who are also lost, but luckily one of them happens to be a survival expert. The expert guides us through the forest until we reach a river. He then tells everyone that they must wash their babies in the water. All of the adults who have children enter the river with their children, who did not appear earlier in the dream. The adults stand in the waist-deep river and repeatedly dip the babies in the water. All the while, our guide keeps giving instructions like, “In and out, up and down, etc.” as if this is a class. All of the babies start to cry because the water is cold. I go in the river and look at an African-American baby. It stops crying and smiles. I pick it up and it laughs. I think about how cute the baby is and walk over to a Caucasian baby. When the white baby sees the black baby, it also starts laughing. Pretty soon, all the babies are happy again. I think about how adorable they all are, then wake up.

One day as i was walking
quietly not talking
being on my own
didnt want to look a clown

I thought of somthing wild
and sniggered like a child
i was being quite daring
people are now staring

strolling a little faster
somthing iv learned to master
when feeling rather silly
Im hot then faint then chilly.

growing dark around my vision
got to avoid collision
searching a fast exit
just want somwere quiet to sit

fleaing for the wall
and trying to run tall
hope its six foot high
hope it reaches to the sky

Can feel my feet get heavy
right, then, left,,keep steady
made it nearly reached the brick
think now i may be sick

just a few more steps to go
each one seems to grow
like wading through treacle
wish i was a beetle

someones passing by
my eyes now tell a lie
leaning back against the stone
thank god now they have gone

looking all around
can hear every single sound
blood pulsing through my ears
my heartbeat plays my fears.

Cant fini

This is serious. A lot of advice books say Oh after you do something good but difficult (finish yucky homework, do aerobics for an hour, etc) THEN give yourself a reward of something you really enjoy. Well, I don't mean this smart ***, really, but I do not understand tht form of motivation. How exactly does it work? Because I'll just get in a funk, not do my work, and reward myself anyway! Help! :-/ I've also met women who are like Oh I have to lose 5 ponuds this month because next month I go to Hawaii. Is that really a motivation? How can it be? Just go 5 pounds fatter and have fun anyway. I would like to understand this better! How can I REALISTICALLY motivate myself towards any doable goal?

Hey all

Clinical Forensic question for you for an essay. I know this isn't the most reliable source but I heard on The Bill a year or two ago the forensic psychologist said killers generally don't cross water to kill or ditch the body. Can anyone tell me who came up with this theory? And if it holds any truth?

Thanks

For example, the guy from the baseball team named Rocker. He said he didn't like gays, foreigners or jews. And the team fined him for that and made him apologize. And now Tim Hardaway also. So wouldn't this make everyone bottle up their true feelings and be phonies instead. Isn't it better for all the racists to show themselves so we can stay away from them and not mistakingly think that they are our friends when deep down they could be hating you?

It saddens me that so many feel that God hates them. That they have a creator who despises them, and wishes them harm and pain. Those who feel like this (or something like it), where is this feeling of hatred coming from for you PERSONALLY?

*Please no generalities about the "disasters in the world, etc." Please respond from your personal life and experience with life.
