Why? Why does my child, who is normally well adjusted and well-liked by peers, teachers, and parents, come back and get into fights and act up in class for at least a month? Thank goodness he IS so well liked, or he woud have been kicked out of extended day/ daycare. It's like he has a different personality. One of the caretakers who absolutely ADORES him, said that while he was attacking her he had a look on his face as though he were possessed. I've seen it myself. I already had him in therapy and he wouldn't talk about it.

Is it INCEST? Sylvia Brown says that every one who is in your life now has always been in your life in one way or another. So if a father sleeps with his daughter, could he use this logic of hers as a defense in court? I don't condone this action, I just wanted others opinions so I can give this person a wide variety of answers.

Everyone you saw, spoke to, treated you differentley. were abrubt with you. condesended you. patronised you. people were hostile towards you. stared at you. Looked at you. you knew you was being socially persecuted and victimised by people.by society> singled out from the crowd.<> how would you fight it? would you know how to fight it?> fight an extreme mass of people that had turned against you....or would you just give in?
serious answers please. give it some thought

Slowly over my life I have been able to remember my dreams more and more. Now I am at a point where every dream is vivid and is fresh in my mind when I wake up. They are vivid to a point where for the morning (and possibly longer) it will feel like they really happened. Sometimes this is fun, but usually it just seems to make things confusing for me. Is there anything I can do about this?

Any word of advice on how to develop good people skills at work (or in general) without being a kiss-@$$ , a hypocrite or a plain people-pleaser? What actually comprises "people skills"?

I am by nature quiet, shy, soft-spoken and kept to myself (probably mistaken as a snob by some) until I slowly warm up to people then I start expressing myself more.

I have been told by many (and modesty aside, I myself know) that I am a good worker, helpful to co-workers and attempts to work as part of a team. And I have developed on my own "emotional skills" which is knowing oneself and how one reacts to certain situations (then eventually learning to react positively). But somehow I know I am lacking this so-called people skills.

I know one can go further in life and in his profession if he has both emotional and people skills. It's not like I want a promotion to a top position at work or something but I just want to be able to relate to people well and not be mistaken as a snob.

I know that there is the ambiguity of exactly what woman and what man I am comparing, but through excercise and nutrition can a woman achieve the same strength a man would? I just find it hard to believe that there is a biological limit to how strong a body can become.

Somehow, I feel good and bad at the same time. It's hard to explain. I feel like there are two of me, instead of having a moral scale where the balance of good and evil is split 50/50, it's somehow doubled so each side is like 100/100. I'm often a nice person, but sometimes I'll have these wild mood swings where I'll actually scream or get physical. One time, I hissed at someone and tried to bite them. I'd say I was insane, but crazy people don't know they're crazy. My conscience has been thrown way out of wack. Instead of the Angel and Demon telling me what to do, they argue with eachother and I'm just stuck there in the middle, watching as the kill eachother. I'm fascinated by the thought of being a bad ***, but I also love the idea of being a good kid. Aren't these signs that I might develop...I dunno, a split personality? Mental ilness runs in my family and at night I feel myself being torn into different directions. Someone help me out here.

How old is "too old" Do we really want to still be alive at 85 or 90 years? When does life stop having purpose and meaning for us?

I've noticed that all my friends are all younger than me. Is there some psychological explanation for this? As far as I can remember I have always had friends that were younger than me and never any older than me. I'd really like to know why, there's nothing bad about it, I'm just curious. Here's some info that might shed some light on it:
-I'm an 18 year old guy
-I'm friends with people as young as 10
-I would never EVER do anything that would hurt the young ones
-I'm the oldest in my family
-I have a completely broken relationship with my own siblings (I can actually say that i hate them)
-I'm many people's "older brother"
If anybody can help me shed some light on this I would really appreciate that. If you have any further things that you'd need to know just say so and I'll post additional details. I'd prefer info from real psychologists but if anybody else knows something about this, please do share.
Thanks!!!
