Psychology - April 2007

such as fondling of the genatalia, or inappropriate lewd sexual discussion at an even younger age, that they can therefore warp the child's mind into developing sexual feelings/attraction toward them once they're in their puberty stage, then have the same child grow into adulthood and look back on this with revulsion and disgust? So much so they can't stand themselves and contemplate suicide. Is it this person's fault? and what can they do to resolve this. Thank you.

Like.. I wanna know if it's weird or any problems with the person mentally or psychologically that somebody wants to commit sucide because they are so content with life, that they are bored, and fed up with nothing good happening even though there's nothing bad.

Put yourself in this situation: you get into an altercation with somebody, it seems small at first but then you notice that the person is a hot head and has a "thug" mentality. What do you do when you hear that this person has pulled a gun on people that you know that have had a problem with him on more than one occasion. Going as far as shooting at their houses. You see him and he makes rude comments to set you off, knowing that he's pulled a gun before, What do you do?


Im in this situation

My brother just told me something quite disturbing. My aunt is schizophrenic and he told me when he was around 8 years old she told him about her first sexual experience in somewhat graphic detail. Later on, at around 11 or 12 years old he can't remember she used to fondle him down there if you catch my drift. In the midst of puberty he admitted to me he felt sexual attraction towards her and often fantasized about it and he felt she reciprocated his feelings..which isn't surprising based on how she acted before. He claims they never actually did anything, but he feels super guilty that the thought even crossed his mind back then. He said he doesn't know what happened but now he feels dirty and disgusting and he hates himself. He even talked about suicide which scares me. It's like he can't live with himself. He keeps saying its his fault because he felt it. Is this true? What can I tell him? When I found out I ratted my aunt out to my mom and of course she denies any wrong behavior.

from age say 27 to 31 has anyone noticed their life change significantly. eg change of career, country, direction. i have lived with various people from overseas and six of them came to this country at age 27/28. i get the feeling this is the time you really begin to feel proper, grown-up direction... As a side note has anyone gone through this period of greater growth and basically screwed it up so afterwards to feel you have missed/ignored a great opportunity and life is now more ,, negative?

We've all heard the stories....... "oh, I was beaten as a child" or "I was sexually abused when young" being used as excuses as to why some people grow up with little value for life and those around them. I'm referring specifically to ones who grow up to maim, torture, or kill other humans, not just general violence that you see in families. I mean REAL, DEADLY violence.

How many out here actually believe that how we grow up can make that strong of an impression on a person, and how many think it's just an excuse for someone to try and get out of trouble for having no decency towards human life? Please give a reason for your answer.

I firmly believe that no amount of violence can give an excuse for that kind of debased attitude towards others. To me, there can be no excuse for harming another human, animal, or anything else. Talk to me folks........let me hear what you are thinking.................

Or do you think it doesnt matter?

If you do think it can have an adverse affect on you, would it not be wise to avoid these ones, limit your time with them or even eject them totally from your life?
What do you think?

I read somewhere that, on our "Death Beds", we will look back on our lifes' and we will regret MORE THOSE CHOICES and DECISIONS that we NEVER MADE! as compare to those CHOICES and DECISIONS that we DID MAKE! that being true (I believe it is true), look back on your life, what is one choice or decision that you regret TODAY not making? Our current age is relevant to this question, if you can give your age, or at least give us all some idea, for example, my age (downtown) I am between 45 and 52 y/o.

I am happy with how my life turned out and my realitives are not and they keep discussing the "bad things" about my life and I am tired of hearing it from them, because these "bad things" are non issues with me.
I stood up to these people last night for the first time. Everytime we are togehter I hear them repeat (like parrots) these "bad things" and ask me questions about them, that I have answered 1000 times (and they can't seem to remember my answer).
So when they were verbally attacking me (again) last night, I said, "I do not want to talk about (blank), let's talk about about my decision to return to school for further education". And it worked, they closed their traps. However the conversation about the positive things in my life was short lived. I was then asked what degree I was going to school for, as I began to reply I was cut off and never got to tell them.
I don't know how they are going to act in the future, will they continue with their old ways or not.

A friend expressed concerns that my eating habits resemble those of a non-purging bulimic.

Apparently people with the condition partake in occasional binge episodes followed by excessive exercise, fasting and/or severe food restriction.

In general, I exercize regularly and have a fairly healthy diet inclusive of all the necessary food groups. My friend's concerns lie in the fact that I eat [relatively] small meals and go on 3-day water fasts after consuming junk or fast food.

I'm personally satisfied with my diet and feel physically great. In regards to fasting, I know it has detoxifying benefits and that is my chief reason for doing it.

Is there really a problem?
