Can someone very close to you, who has recently passed on attempt to make contact with you? If so, what would be some of the ways they would let you know they have come to visit. Can they see us? Can we communicate with them?

I hate it when you ask a question and people click answer but they dont answer your question at all. they just say some useless comment that is not helpful at all? Why dont they just keep it to themselves and not make us read it?
Give me your thoughts. helpful ones.

It makes me so sad when I hear about people planning terrorist attacks. I mean, i'm innocent i did nothing wrong. I don't want to be a victim of someone's hatred. Does anyone feel the same way? Does anyone have some comforting words?

ok, when i tell you this, dont tell me to see a theripest cause i cant.... but anyway. starting a few months ago i had this though in my head. the though was "what if im really not alive? that my entire life is just like a dream or a figment of someones imagnation?" whenever i dont think about it i feel fine and normal. but when the thought enters my head (which is almost all the time) i feel like my whole life, everything, is just not real. and i feel like im not real. but when i try not to think about it cause when i dont i feel fine. but i always do and when ever that thought is in my head, im sooooo miserable because i feel like me, my friends, the, everything is just not real. i cant talk to any one cause i tried telling some people but they just dont under stand, u guys prolly dont understand fully, but i was wondering if anyone had any advice to make me not think about it, or any other advice?
I asked this question before, and i got some pretty good advice. but nothing seems

I have confidence in the science of psychology.
However, I do not have confidence in the business of psychology.

I think there's a pretty good chance that too many therapists are simply in it for making money, as opposed to practicing psychology out of an altruistic desire of genuinely helping people.

How many countless people could be helped if the business factor was not an issue? With rates usually around 100 dollars for a fifty-minute session, it's no wonder the world is going insane. Very few average people can afford that.

Ok I know this is an odd question but here goes. I am half Chinese and half black. My mother is from Hong Kong and after coming to the US she met my father, who is black, who was in the military. He left us when I was 3.

I have grown up around my mom's family and I have always felt like an outsider. They always made me feel ashamed to be half black, like I wasn't as good as my cousins because they were full blooded Chinese. Whenever I was in the city with my aunts and we would see obnoxious black people, my aunts would say things to me like "You need to be careful to make sure that you don't turn out like that. Don't sell drugs and be a menace to society." Throughout my childhood I always hated myself and wished so desperately that I could somehow get rid of my black self.

Now that I'm grown up I know that these bad feelings are not rational, and that I should not be ashamed of my black heritage, but I can't help it. I just can't get rid of those thoughts. What can I do?

I find myself having "internal dialogs" all the time. And sometimes I talk to myslef outloud, like if there were two persons within me. Like I ask something and then answer to myslef, or just remind myself of stuff, or just anything. I don't think I'm crazy or anything, I actually enjoy talking to myslef, and it's not like I dont have any friends. But most people say it is weird and in society it seems like it is not quite normal.
So what do you think? do you ever talk to yourself? outloud?

A tragic hero is a good person who ends up letting his/her despair destroy them and those around them. They then unravel and do something "evil". Because of their emotional turmoil, they feel their actions are the only way. We can feel empathy for these characters because their story is very human. Given similar circumstances, we might have gone down the same path they did. What are some good examples of a tragic hero? I can think of Anakin Skywalker, Hamlet, and MacBeth...

It disgusts me that some women that have children don't have the common sense nor instincts to protect, love and care for their babies. Read the newspaper any given day and you will read heartbreaking stories of women abandoning, neglecting and sometimes harming their children, while female animals of all species have an instinct to protect their babies. Why is that?

Someone here said "To worry is to avoid being happy". Are there any other nice things to say to someone who worry a lot?

Thanks a lot.

Am taking a survey for a school project. Seeing how fears change with age. That is why age and gender are important. Don't forget to include that. Please list at least ten things that you fear the most; MORE is ok too. Examples would be fears of heights, dark, (deep) water, insects reptiles and rodents, enclosed places, public transportation, tunnels or bridges, crowds, public speaking, flying, storms, even death.

One of the "leaders" of our single adult group (ages 18-30) at church is a holier-than-thou type. He makes comments at the wrong moment, trying to be funny or makes the rest of us feel like sinners by saying we shouldn't do this or that. He doesn't really fit in or get along with the rest of us and I'm not sure how to get him to stop being a total jerk to everyone. I am the other leader of the group and I sent him an email of concerns and issues we needed to cover. I was very diplomatic and praising of his talents and he picked up on the fact that the group talks to me, not him because he's abrasive and rude. So, he got upset and ignored the rest of the concerns. Now, he's heard that some of us went out to dinner and karaoke one night and he's mad. What do I do?!
