Psychology - May 2007

they say "be yourself" when increased confidence is not MY TRUE SELF and it feel awkward at times , but i still want to continue ..another thing bothering me is i believe i have copied some1 else's character ( in the sense i talk little like him , start retorting if i have too like my him (my good friend) , i dunno if im happy copying some1else....
and the last ...my friends keep telling me things " So look whos the cool guy here" , "looks who owns the place " and stuff like that , because i have increased confidence now ...should i change back to not being confident ?
any1 who has felt this way ,please tell me what to do...im still going to be confident and try to improve but what about the copying character thing?

This happens sometimes. For instance...I just asked the question that stated. . . " I know that soy milk is made from the soy plant. . . yet how is it actually made? Is it pressed like juice from a orange or carrot ? If so why is it called soy milk and not soy juice ? "

A reply came in stating " If vegans drink it than no harm is brought to animals and soy milk is made from soy ".

I already stated in my question that I knew that soy milk was made from the soy plant. In the persons reply there was no mention in the answer of HOW " milk " is derived from soy. Why do some replies come in that very clearly not address the specific question asked ? ! ! The two points ?

What is happy to you. I am not looking for dictionary meaning; but rather what you see as happy.

I have a horrible time trying to do something and stick with it. Like exercising for instance, I start and do it for a while, but when I see no results, I get frustrated, eat more, and stop exercising. Even when I've done so for months and months, with no result, I just give up. It's like I find it easier to quit, thinking things won't change, than to fight and wait patiently for something more positive to happen.
I just have a hard time trying to tell myself NO or do something that I know is for the best. I am stuck in a comfort zone and I want out! What are some ways I can kick my own butt into gear and take charge of life???

a sign on the grocery store shelf has fallen down, do you pick it up and replace it? an email is sent to you, do you correct the misspellings before you forward it on? a rug in an office hallway is crooked or a corner is flipped up, do you try to fix it?

does it matter if anyone's watching?

details, details..

i went onto http://www.egg2.com and clicked on "Psychic"... it is NOT a mathematical trick... everything is in my head, but it guesses correctly every time! Can a computer really read my mind? I'm scared... if you don't believe me, try it!

what is the psychological condition of someone who feels like they always want to be alone -- so they push away everyone (to the point that they have no friends) then they mourn that they have no friends and feel lonely all the time? they crave companionship but they can't handle it at the same time. thoughts?

My ex has this big thing about wanting to "get comfortable" with me. This means to spend a long time taking the whole relationship at his pace and on his terms. Once he is comfortable, he can be devoted and caring. Anyways, that's the way the relationship worked before. However, this has made hard to restablish because things broke up with so much confusion...not exactly anyone's fault... but still......things had to be discussed, and he made that very hard with all of his demands for comfort.

Anyways, We have worked through some of the bigges tproblems; I don't think he's too pleased about this, but I insisted upon it...this is my boundary. You want to get to know me again: work on our stuff, and at least give me closure....However, he has recently gotten fed-up of talking about the past, and walked away. I am not mad...I actually need my space now, and I feel much better for what I worked through, and I like him more now than before. But should I say anything, or just let time pass

It's a theory developed by some psychologist . . . I seem to have forgotten his name . . .
Basically, it states that, if one can think or envision something that he will do, he WILL do it. Something like that . . .

I know someone who does a lot and with very little.It doesn't matter what aspect of life it is,he always seems to produce more with less and can absorb and process information immediately and produce results with his resources.

I get nervous when I go to parties and there's a lot of people I don't know.I feel uncomfortable when I'm by myself with a lot of people I don't know.I get really hot and nervous,and start to sweat.If I'm in party with people I know,I don't get nervous.I get nervous when I 1st talk to really hot girls I don't know.So I usually don't approach hot girls unless they're in my classes.I'll talk to them with no problem if they are.Do I have social anxiety? If I do,how can I help it besides seeing a psychotherapist and takin pills or whatever? Thanks
