Psychology - May 2007

For years, this sexist stereotype has gone all over the place.
But what is it's origan?
Is there a REAL PERSONALLITY OR DISORDER that causes this?

Is there a REAL scientific name for this?

For example, some people who are considered geeks, some have a disorder called "Asperger's Syndrome" (the same thing Albert Einstein had).

I have a problem. Before I am falling asleep I often think of somebody using violence against me. It can keep me awaken for a few hours, as all I have on my mind is somebody hitting me. Is this a kind of obsession? I had a violent relationship once, but also I remember having similar feelings (maybe not so often and not so strong) when I was a child. I used to imagine somebody hitting me and I was very afraid, but somehow it made me feel comfortable with it (if you know what I mean).
Any good advice?

Do you believe that having faith in a "hopeless" situation changes the situation?

I often consider getting up, packing some necessities, then walking out the door. Hitch hiking as far as I can go, away from home until I'm so lost that I don't know who Iam. Starting over, with only the stuff I can carry with me, living off the kindness of strangers until I can have a stable life. I often realize, that no one would realize if I left. I'd walk out of my lives, there lives, and my own twisted reality. ANyone ever feel liek this, not just me?

Do people themselves who happen to be controlled by this very fears represent the primary threat which they attempt to defy?
Is it anyhow possible to realize whether oneself is plainly obsessed or just bothered? How is the borderline between prejudice and reality to be located?

Im only satisfied in math if im only willing to do math like algebra. Im only great in math if I only know how to solve it, and explain whys and ifs.
The people who teach me always expect more than I can ever be. I always end up as a failure its unfair.

Its unsatisfied to me if im willing to do it, and cant solve or explains whys and ifs. Its unfair, to me that I cant learn as fast as anyone here. Its unfair for me having to try more, than you guys give a little less* on trying. Most of you people learn naturaly and born smart Im not.
Its unfair, why are people like me distined to be born dumb?

People Like Einstein,Newton,Edison are borm distined to be geniuses and smarts.

Let me ask you something. and maybe it's just me,but, Do you ever feel like when you meet a psychologist or have a class with a psychologist, do you ever feel like they are assessing you? and if you do doesn't it feel like x-ray vision because you are aware that they are? I'm asking because I feel that way and I wanted to know if other introverts had the same feeling or if it's just me. I pick up a lot of little details about people that others miss, and I'm intune with my feelings as well as others. anyway, let me know your answers!
