I'M 19.yrs. old and my mom told me today that I need to look better...like put more makeup on and try to look pretty...because she was saying hat I have a very low self-esteem and that's why I don't look good because I don't love myself. I got a flashback of when I was 12 and she used to say the same things to me..comparing me to my cousins who would dye their hairs and everything... I dress good, I have always been like that. When I go out I try to look good because I like it and put make up etc...but the past week I have been exercising and I've been in my gym clothes during the afternoons...and i guess that's why she thinks I look ugly. What is wrong with her? IM 5'7 and weight 150lbs and I like to take care of myself....but why does she pressure me to "look good" and be feminine....otherwise she would think Im a lesbian and this happens to my little sister too....and if we wear pants a lot she are masculine...what is wrong??!!!

We won't use it, promise...

Mine's "Quince" and when I hear it I get an unconrtollable urge to kidnap Martha Stewart. It's a little difficult and time consuming as I live in Australia... Thankfully quince isn't such a popular fruit these days... but I do try not to visit nursing homes on a regular basis, just in case.

I read one survey done by a writer saying that children of US and UK citizens and who are living in these countries can enhance their growth to better self-esteem. It further says that US or UK citizens are more concentrated to their individual career that is why they are more focus in life; while Asians are naturally inclined to look into the harmony of the community that surrounds him/her. For this reason they are slow in growing to a better self-esteem. Their energy is scattered so to say. What do you think and say about this?

When I was younger I was an ugly duckling and very self concious, but in the past year or two I have matured, grown into my own skin, and recieve a lot more attention from guys and have a lot more friends. However, I still feel like that little ugly duckling inside. How can one get over the past and move on? Have you had a similar experience? Do you think that the way you felt in the past and experiences that you went through really affect how you are today?

There are two sources of self-esteem, internal and external. I believe that your INTERNAL self-esteem comes from one of two sources: relationships and your work. Please understand, I do NOT mean the pat on the back. That's external. I don't mean the awards. External. I don't mean "lots of money". Again, that's external or it's a means of measuring your work. I mean that sense of pride that you feel inside. The pride that does NOT say, "they like me" nor "they like my work."

So besides the two ways that I know:
The quantity and quality of your relationships
and
The quality of your work.

can you think of any more ways for people to receive their internally derived self esteem? Where does that sense of pride come from in you? And please examine yourself and your answer. Can your answer NOT fall into one of these two categories? Be prepared to defend yourself and check back. I will probably respond.

Beware. Read and understand the question completely, or I will delete it.

So yeah, for my test tomorrow that's what we have to write an essay on, analyzing a "nut job."

We were told he is young, between 15-30, hears things, killed his father, and is a slob who can't hold a girlfriend... Any ideas, advice, help? thanks.

I don't seem to quite understand relationships, and really what they are supposed to be based on. I often find myself in conflicts with people I work with, I usually come out on the losing end, even when they are in the wrong. I have had this problem all my life. I just don't stick up for myself very well. I have never had a girlfriend (I am 38) or any meaningful relationship at all. As a result I feel I have lived a life not worth living and been very depressed. But I want to. I have seen on shows like survivor, that people can really behave in a shallow manner when they are interacting. But have seen on other shows that rude behavior is some what tolerable even welcomed because it shows passion and helps others focus, as long as its not too derogatory, and all party's involved feel they are being treated as an equal. So maybe I need to not take things so personally and learn to bite back a little. I wish I could simply interact with people better and not get walked on so much. Please help

What am I trying to say is that sometimes in life , you are going on a place where you like someone , but in that moment you are just a stranger, dont know about that person , just out of the blue just saw her (in my case) and want to know something about her....... In that moment is kind of difficult because if you introduce yourself, you will be sending a lot of messages , more negatives than positives,,,,,,But you want to in some way let that person know about your presence and talk something......For example i am in a school lab right now I like this female , but as i try so many times(with diferent women ) to drop by and si Hi she will giving me a strange face , because I am a stranger, how to overcome this......

If this is confusing, sorry I just brainstormed right now lol

Imagine that you have been given unlimited resources to study any aspect of psychology that interests you. What area would you choose to study? What question(s) would you want to answer? How would you design a study to address these questions? Include in your response your hypothesis, experimental design, and your projected outcomes. What limitations can you expect from your research design?
