Psychology - March 2007

I was smoking in the bedroom right after my husband woke up. He seemed to not have a problem with it. Didn't say anything about it, instead talked about himself. When I started talking about myself, about my work day, he covered his head and didn't respond. After a few seconds of silence, he said he wasn't ignoring me, he just didn't like the cigarette smoke. I said I would smoke in another room and he said "well, it's too late now, the damage is already done." I left the room as he was saying this. He came out and gave me a lengthy explanation of his side of it. I wasn't mad and didn't want to fight, so I just acknowledged his feelings and said I understood where he was coming from. He kept pushing and talking about it and eventually was yelling, blaming and accusing. He asked me how I would've handled it and I said I wouldn't have made the "it's too late now" comment. He got really mad and yelled more. This kind of thing happens daily. Does this sound like verbal abuse?

does it serve some evolutionary purpose? I truly believe in letting my husband have sex with other women if he clears it with me first, (I want him to be happy and experience all he wants out of life) but I still feel jealous, even when he is just chatting online. Why? How can I get over it?
Thanks for your thoughts

I was wondering if there was such thing as a fear of spending money on something bad, therefore, you try not to make money so you don't spend it on that bad thing?

.... most of them don't even bother to pick a Best Answer themselves?

Is it because the ordinary person likes to get close to / be associated with a celebrity anyway s/he can?

I have always been like this. When I was little, I used to suck on my toes... (lol). I just recently realized that I am always someway or another, touching my mouth or chewing on something. It drives me crazy when I can't do anything with my mouth. What is this called again? I learned it in psychology, but I don't remember!

& don't get perverted! I don't mean it that way!

Ok, so lately, I'm finding myself extremely stressed out.\

With my job, and life, it seems like every time one problem ends, another begins.

Whether it be problems with doing my stressful, unchallenging job,
problems with not getting the positions that I deserve and want,
fights with co-workers,
almost being fired,
the fear of being fired,
the fact that guys are never interested in me,
that I'm now in love with someone that's NEVER going to love me,
vicious rumors being spread about me,
or being yelled at...
and crying at work...

It never ends.

I HATE having drama and turmoil be the main focus of my thoughts.
I'm a nice person... I get taken advantage of, and it's easy for people to pick on me, because I'm not good at defending myself... That causes more problems.

I don't consider myself attractive, but I'm not hideous! Guys never ask me out, or show interest! And when I think they do, they always stop, and make me feel like a loser!
I'm a size 2, sometimes 4, long hair, 5'5... A big disadvantage of mine, would be my small breasts...
but I'm treat people with respect, and am always cracking jokes...

I'm smart (not bragging), and have no girlfriends. We always end up fighting, because I'm liked by most of my bosses, and get more responsibility.

How do I stop letting the drama, fights, rejection, and turmoil effect my life?
I don't want to be stressed anymore!

I don't know about you, but whenever I smell certain things(for instance, burning leaves), it brings back memories and atmospheres that none of my other sences ever could. Does anyone else agree with me? Any other smells that do this? Why does this happen?

I recently realized that I don't enjoy being a woman. And I don't mean transvestite stuff or anything else. I just have not found being a woman anything to celebrate. Probably because I was mosested by family members when I was a kid, and life just has not been all that great to me. So, my question is............what are some good reasons to celebrate being a woman, and how do I learn to enjoy, and be proud to be a woman? I have never felt sexy, or pretty. Just used. I think I am actually fairly nice looking, and I have a great husband. But somehow I can't get past feeling used and abused, and down on myself. And no, I am not abused anymore. Haven't been for years. It's a head thing now. Don't tell me to go to a therapist. Been there and done that. And I'm not going to do that...........at least for now. I just want some good advice, guidance, and suggestions that may help me.......other than seeing a doc or getting drugs. Natural stuff is OK. Thanks.

I have a sociology paper due in a week and this is the topic I choose. I love writing and I already did a lot of research. I am not asking anyone to cheat for me, I just want to know what everyone thinks about this. Please respond with agreement or disagreement and explain why.
Personally I don't think it should be legalized because for one reason out of the many, this is murder, not help.

Thanks for any responds.

O.K. you know how good girls are attracted to bad boys. Also, how people always want who they can't have. These are like opposite energies attracting one another. Now, if you knew how to attract a female by acting like you weren't interested in order to get her interested in you would you do it? The honest truth is you like her, but you have to act like you don't like her much in order to attract her. It's being somebody false and deals with manipulating people. The laws of nature are like this when it comes to women. However, do you think it's morally wrong to switch this way in order to get what you want. Evidently, being so nice, and needy doesnt' get nice and good guys anywhere when it comes to love and romance(action too...LOL) Are fellas to be naturally overly expressive to females or is this the way we are really supposed to be because of the attraction laws that women give in to these types of men? Why all the love songs, romance movies,Walt Disney fairy tales when it's not it?

when we go through a normal day, we have so many thoughts and we can easily write a lot about them, but when someone asks us to write something, our minds go blank?

Just because they are not doing what I want them to do, does that mean they are being selfish, or what?

Do you ever have to do something you really don't want to do, like visiting out of state relatives, etc, because you know you should, but you really don't want to. What do you do to get yourself pysched up?
