Psychology - May 2007

Do you sometimes wonder what people would think of your life if it was, for example, a story saga (ie, Earthsea) or an extended TV series?

I sometimes do, and it scares me. If I watched my own series, would I be proud, or feel sorry for myself. I really can't tell...

What about you?

so Ive read others questions similar to this and everyone says just speak your mind and let people know the real you. However when I am with anyone outside of my good friends, my mind wont let me speak it. Im constantly thinking of conversation that would work. My basic question is how do you overcome a mild social anxienty? I dont want any answers such practice leaving your comfort zone like joining theatre or public speaking because Ive tried that and it works when Im in theatre or public speaking but as soon as Im in a social situation that im not comfortable with I clam up and use the usual "so whatre you doing these days" or "how is life treatin ya" I want to learn to be one of those outgoing pompous jackasses that still seem to be the centre of attention. If you dont understand my question, then please dont answer.

(1) Some people exercise because they want to look good to the opposite sex. (2) Some people exercise because they're concerned about their health. (3) Other people exercise so they can compete in bodybuilding contests. (4) Still other people are addicted to exercise because they like how it makes them feel. (5) But, let's face it, when it comes to good health, why a person exercises is not as important as staying with a regular exercise program.

I've heard that regret is our most useless emotion, pretty pointless actually. Thinking about it, I'd have to say I agree with this statement. Every other emotion I think of has at least one purpose, but what does regret ever do for us? Heck, whatever happened happend, learn from it and move on. How productive is beating yourself over for it?

Agree or disagree?

If this really is a useless emotion, why do we feel it?

You are having re-occuring dreams? How can you stop them? Or do they just go away on their own?

Whenever their instructor is trying to review for their final exam and this student is daydreaming and they have some songs stuck in their heads, what is a sign of that?

To a great extent, the conscience has this status. It certainly can be silenced, bent, manipulated and corrupted, but whatever we do, conscience always keeps a degree of independance, and it may at any time remember its original standards and produce sensations of shame and guilt. No matter how determined we may be to reprogramme the conscience, and conform it to what we want to think is right, is has a habit of recovering its independance.
A troubled conscience may result in forms of mental anguish not readily connected with one's behaviour. A person may suddenly be overtaken by un unfathomable sense of unease, or of emptiness, purposelessness and despair. Someone may be suffer from deep depression (though a troubled conscience is by no means the only cause of depression).

There is only one way of easing the trouble conscience, and that is by obtaining forgiveness from the Lord of the conscience.

I had surgery 3 weeks later.Lost a baby.I seen him with the baby and a little girl so sweet.I asked my mom had they ever lost a baby.She looked just like my sister.My sister look at me. We didn't talk for a few years.She had lost a baby. She burst into tears.
Sometimes I don't even like to sleep. I'm afaid of what I might see or not see.

One night I had a dream my daughter was drowning and I couldn't save her. Woke up out of a deep sleep crying.The next week we found out she was a type1 diabetic..When she gave herself her first shot. I remember her saying in my dream. I'ts okay it dose'nt hurt that bad. Anyone like me

I am so tired of being lied to and deceived. I don't understand why everyone can't just tell the truth and deal with it.

Psychology tries to pass itself off as science but of all the sciences, this is the most subjective field which makes the most vague predictions that "may or may not" be true.

The human mind is too complex for the human mind to completely understand itself. It is even more difficult to compare and contrast minds. Creating a model which explains the actions of all minds is even more difficult. Then they try to create a model for what is considered a "normal and healthy mind." This sounds more like mind control than a search for the truth.

Why do psychologists do all of this and try to pass themselves off as real scientists? They can study trends in human behavior but they cannot tell you the true cause of any behavior, nor can they accurately predict human behavior.

If psychology is a true science, then why can't they cure violence? Would you want a cure for violence? This entire field seems quack. If anyone is equipped to explain how I feel, it's me, not someone else.

How did you deal with it?

2007-05-02 15:36:10 · 2 answers · asked by plip 1

it all depends on whose perspective you take, and who has something to gain. i'm think i'm open-minded... but you might call that ambivalent or wishy-washy.

do you have a strength that someone else might call a weakness? if you wanted to, how could you change their mind?
