I really have nothing to be sad about. I do have a loving family, good friends and a hobby (drama/chorus). I'm also pretty into my religion. But lately i have just been feeling empty and like life doesn't really have a point. I'm 17 and i don't want to feel that way, but i can't help it.

I asked this question twice before. Thanks for the respones.





Whenever I see very good movie, I imagine me playing the character I liked in the movie. I then, re-act the whole movie by myself. Meaning I'm talking to myself.

I don't want to become actress. I just want to watch a movie without after the movie me being in my own world of playing the powerful character by myself? How can I stop this habit of mine?

It was a habit I used to like until my friends saw me re-acting a movie we saw, they thought I was totally crazy.

When everyday, upon waking up in the morning, he's the first thing in my mind.. When my mind and heart seem to be uncontrollable to think and feel for him.

Thinking & considering him already affect me as a being.. Will any expert on letting go give me a practical and effective advice?

A good day, only a few days ago it was a good day. But now, at this moment, my mind cant even grasp the sensation of a perfectly normal, good day. Two days ago…it was the same as today. I slept but I didn’t rest…An ongoing cycle of restlessness causes my mind to be foggy, like I’m on co-pilot, not really away, but not really in control. I know I have to get back in the drivers seat, I have to whip this before it whips me… I’ve got to get my mind focused on doing something, just pick one small task to successfully carry out. I stare in the bathroom mirror, I look at the toothbrush…. I reach for the toothpaste, my eyes blurr out of vision and I see, in the refelction of the mirror, a bedroom with clothes strewn across the furniture and floor….I have to wash clothes….I sigh from deep within my chest with dissapiontment….”just BRUSh your teeth”…
My cell phone rings…I quickly reach for the mute button, as If the ringing gives me no option but to answer. I cant answer. I cant talk to them, whoever it is…probably a grandparent who hasn’t seen much of me lately. For a split second I feel guilty for neglecting them but quickly, my guily turns to anger. Im mad because I know that almost any other day, I could’ve picked up the phone, but WHY…WHY did the phone have to ring today, pulling me into another crippling mindgame?
I shuffle through the hallway listening for the sound of the baby crying…just a few minutes ago I was praying for relief form her, so I could rest, but now, as she sleeps contently in her crib, I feel alone. I know I’ll regret waking her too soon because I have got to get myself focused so I can tend to her properly. So I wait, I stand at the lving room window and look out…The skies are blue and the sun is reflecting off of the pavement, casting a glare into the window…I squint and swallow a lump in my throat. I want to cry…because I want to go outside, but I’m afraid to. It seems so big….It looks like any other day, in fact, It look slike just the other day when I was at the beach with Abby. So, why does it look “different”. My thoughts seem to stomp a mudd puddle in my mind….Im caught up in a complicated equation that cant be solved…So I just stare ….and I stare, and I close my eyes……..the darkness of my closed eyelids gives me a moment of peace…….a sorrowful peace………………………………………my mind drifts back into consciousness…..The sound of a soft cry turns my attention away from myself….Shes awake……I walk to the doorway of the bedroom and see two small hands reaching out to me for comfort…..I let go of all that consumed my mind before and I can feel God whispering to my spirit….a gentle, but firm nudge to go on…..the day has to go on…..Abby needs me….So I push a smile into my lips…..and reach to her…. ………

Well, basically, for a big deal of my life i've been the quiet kid who if in a group alot of people wouldnt even know I was there. I find it hard to express myself to other people and just be myself because I have this fear to open up to other people. There's many reasons why I'm like this, deriving from past experiences with people putting me down and my fear to socialize due to my consiential negative outcomes that might occur if i try too hard to fit in. I've become alot worse over the years, even being quiet around family members and essentially losing my own character and becoming like a stoic robot. I use music as a way to calm my thoughts and my depression and it's just overall starting to get really bad. My request is, however, if there is a way to revert this downward spiral I call my life and become more outgoing? I'm just tired of living everyday in solitude and I want to be able to be around people without getting nervous of what people think of me.

What do you think the term "paradigm" means in the field of psychology? To what do you attribute the similarities/differences?

By artistic I don't mean only painters, but any artistic outlet which requires passion, emotion and creativity. Are they better able to channel that same intense emotion and passion when making love as opposed to someone who does not have any artistic/creative talents?

I 20 years old and i was a bulling vicitm from 5 to 8th grade of my grade school. Then came high school and for the first 2 years i was verbally abused by 4 class idiots. I have erected a wall around me so nobody can hurt me that much any more. Dont get me wrong , i have quite a number of good friends, most of them from that class. Over the years i became introverted, shy , stuck up, very serious boy who flares up when somebody verbaly challenges me. I dont have strong personality and my friends know that , they are good people who whis me all the best but I know that they don't respect me as much as they wolud if I was a strong personality. I didnt had a grilfirend cause of that and. I'm simply afraid that I wolud reject her with my anti-social behaviour. What to do , how to overcome all of this ??

PLEASE just don't write answers like "just be/love yourself" or "go to therapy" . I wish to fix these problems on my own.
