Psychology - March 2007

I realise that my Ego is my False Self, but after years of "struggling" at taming the Ego within myself, and becoming an AUTHENTIC human being, I'm still having problems. I have learned much over the years, but obviously I'm not there yet. Any help, book title's, information, or methods would be GREATLY appreciated.

I have a fear of Pennywise AKA "It" and Chucky. I'm afraid to take showers when no ones around and I'm afraid when its dark in the house. How should I overcome this silly fear?

I realise that there are many people who have had bad experiences. But right now, right at this minute, I feel torn apart. I won't blame how I feel on whats happened to others or me, but it is a factor. And it just seems like I'm meant to be perpetually unlucky. I keep getting dreams or visions and they come true. Recently I have been getting visions about a boy who I know and went out with being extremely dangerous or untrustworthy - and today, half an hour ago, i got a call. I'm shocked by what I heard, but it is just tipping the iceburg towards suicide right now. Before all this I also had a call from my Mum on Wed last week saying that my brother nearly died in a car crash. I had only just had a session with my therapist talking about my past, when I got the text. I was chomatized, I didn't know what to feel, I just hoped he was ok. I hated hearing all this as my Nan only died last year, and my other brother Ian 2 yrs ago. But coinciding with this I was getting dreams of dying>

I myself am a dreamer, I'd be a hero with the power to Animate objects. I am an artist and procrastinate quite often so would also like Super-speed to accomplish my tasks faster. My kids and I throw this question at each other all the time, but I'm sure a few adults have thought about it.

What are the indications that a person is lying when she is talking to you? Or watching someone being interviewed?

Hello, i was wondering anyone could help? Do you think if you asked a guy out when it was obvious that he liked you and he lied and said he had a g/f, but after that he still acted like he liked you...why would he do that? what does this mean? Is he afraid of something? or does he just not like the girl? could a teenage boy do that just because he's afraid to ruin his reputation with his freinds or could it possibly be because of low self esteem? or could it be because he didn't know how to respond? all helpful answers are greatly appreciated. Thanks

I am the youngest, and I have found that suprisingly all of the girls I have been involved with or interested in have been the oldest or second oldest. One time a girl I was chatting with/dating actually told me you kind of remind me of my younger brother. Am I the only one to notice this; is there any truth to my suspicions.

and guys usually have short hair. and who decided that pink was for girls and blue was for guys? how can anybody know what colour they really like if their being told who they should be from the minute their born. if you think of it that way it's kinda amazing that people somehow can enter into their own true self and find out who they are.

Okay, I have a major alcohol problem. Around 11 last night, I called my friend to pick me up from the club. I was too drunk to drive. Anyway, he said we were going to Las Vegas and to get comfortable. I crashed in the backseat. Him and our other friend, Ryan, were in the front. I woke up just after 2 and realized we were parked somewhere. The guys weren’t in the car. I looked around and didn’t recognize where I was. I was still drunk, stumbled out of the car, and walked about 100 feet to where an old building was (I could see a light inside). Within a couple minutes I realized my friends were robbing this building. I started to freak on them, yelling about what they could be doing. Next thing you know the cops arrive. My friend was back in the car by this time, so he couldn’t run, but Ryan and I took off. I tripped, bruised my leg, and got a slight cut on my head while being arrested. I have never been in trouble and am not sure what got into my friends.

She uses the kids to justify her controlling behavior. She also uses the kids to gain information about what goes on in our house and what's happening within our relationship. What's the best way to deal with someone like this and still keep a healthy environment for the kids?

last night, i was turning the light out to go to sleep, and a few minutes after that, a light from outside cast shadows along my wall (my room faces a forest, not the street). i dismissed the light as a helicopter, as i have seen that light often on previous occasion.but last night after i saw the shadows, i started to get this really unusual feeling in my stomach, like something very bad was going to happen, and the images of people breaking in and killing me were flashing thru my mind.. it was terrifying! i began to get a headache and it was getting harder to breathe. i felt like there were people outside watching me, and the room was getting smaller. after awhile, if i even glanced at the window i would get the vivid pictures flash through my head again, and the windows became a terrifying part of my room. i burst into tears of fear and confusion and ran upstairs and slept on the couch but i didnt get much sleep... im so scared.. what happened to me? why do you think this happened?

Theres this girl in my class who is always sucking up to the teachers or all adults for that matter. Can I do this for you or Can I help you with that? She's almost like a clone. Before every test she sits real straight, sharpens two pencil and looks so intense. I think she's a habitual liar or she has 2 of everything every person has. Better this, better that. She says mean things to people. For example, "Do you own a brush" or that new shirt does nothing for you. How do you handle someone like this? She seems to have to be better at everything. What makes a person like this? By the way her mother is twice as bad. This girl told the whole class that her mother said she was smarter and better than anyone else. The kicker is she's 13 years old. Shouldn't she know better by now? Help. I'm ready to just slap her.

Is the practice of believing oneself to be more capable than one actually consciously knows on is a “good” practice. Is being overconfident to achieve what one wants narcissism? - Or do you think humans are in most cases unaware of there true potential so this type of overconfidence is a good thing.

Please try doing this:
FIRST OF ALL STAND UP!!
With your left arm hold it above hour head straight up.
Move it to 90" pointing left
Point it down straight against your body.
So your arm is going: | up -- left | down
REMEMBER THAT.

With your other arm do this:
Start with your right arm pointing 90" to the right.
Move it down against your body
Move it up pointing to the ceiling

Right arm is doing this:
-- right | down | up

Now put both together STARTING IN THE PLACES I HAVE SAID

Can you do it?
Mine is terrible.

All it does is exercises both the left and right parts of the brain.
Have a go

Psychologically, what parts of an essay would really impress a teacher aside from the words. Do cover art and report covers make a essay more appealing to a teacher before he/she reads it?

I get bored sooo easy! Im naturally a hyper bubbly cheery person, but none of my teachers could ever guess, because im sooo blah, and I hate it. Im not under challagned, or over challanged, im just bored outta my mind. Im a whole differnt person outside of school, and I find it hard to act like myself in school, it's more like the bored robot version.

especially when i feel low, for me it"s sky falling kind of thing. it takes my mind space for some time, sometimes even for days, i know it is doing no good to me, it makes me pessimistic for some time, it take away my thinking ability, i become helpless

reason i think could be either am i taking things so seriously,
or i am reacting too sharp,

ok so emo stands for emotional right. and i was wondering how, psychologyically, do people become emo?
is it from childhood experiences or is it just their characteristics? is it genetical?! jk.

and ive got a view point that emo does not only mean cutting wrists and blacking the eyes, and do i have anyone agreeing with me; is this true?
i think emos are just people who can be emotionally connected/attached to anything like music, people (interaction), society (big scale), etc. AND, does the slightest of expressing their 'emo' side through art and/or is seen by how they act towards things. resulting SOMETIMES isolation (in any way mentally or socially or whatever) from a common group of friends. (because theyre such deep, thoughtful, emotional people)

do you guys get that? (i suck at explaining, so any biased remark is welcome, i just wanna know what the world thinks)

thanks!

I have been with my fiance for almost three years, we are in love, deep, passionate, love. We are having a baby together and that makes it even stronger.
My question is this,
He has a porn addiction, which he has toned down for me over the years. In the beggining I never really cared about what he looked at or watched, but now it really bothers me, and it's to the point that it drives me crazy whenever I catch him. I have tried to tell myself that it's only natural and that I know he loves me to the greatest extent, but in the end I just can't keep myself sane. I think about it over and over, pondering on why he looks at that stuff, because I have given him everything (sexually) that he could ever imagine and he has told me this, over and over.
What worries me the most, is that I have found e-mails to women whom are pornstars or something of the sort and also pictures of women. I'm a very attractive young woman almost better looking than some of these girls, why does he do this?
