Psychology - June 2007

Why would someone practice reverse/d psychology? It's almost like telling someone you are the president of Delta airlines and that person sentencing you to a life much like Jesus.
I would like to know if anyone has studied reverse/d psychology in a educational setting. And if the practice of reverse/d psychology as child discipline can contribute to insubordination in school and later, society in general?

What do you dream to do in life? What were your dreams when you were a child? How did you go about achieve those goals? What is your definition of 'Success'? Do you consider yourself successful up to this point in time and why? Lastly, have you achieved your goal in life?

I used to really believe in myself and feel confident about decisions I had made and the way I felt about things. After a relationship with someone who told me I was wrong all the time, gave plausible arguments as to why he was right, said I had no common sense and basically it was his way or the high way.

As a result, a month on from breaking up with him, I am still wracked with insecurities. I question everything, analyse everything, and try and find some way to lay the blame at my door. I feel like my world has been turned upside down and realise that this has something to do with being with someone who was 'always right' and who made me see things from his side of the fence. But now I'm just in a mess and I'm blaming myself for all the problems in our relationship, I'm questionning myself, my character & I just can't make sense of anything.

Does anyone else suffer from this? Do you have any tips on how to combat it? I'm so used to compromising myself that I'm lost now!

There is no right or wrong answer, just human response.

If you have been dating your significant other for about a year now, long enough you know your not just messing around anymore. But not long enough that you are super serious.
Now your significant other is in an accident and is in a coma, but the doctors say they will make a full recovery, but the medecine needed to revive him takes a full year to create.

Do you stay faithful to them?
Do you break it off?

If so why do you think so many people choose to be misserable. I know I dont chose to. I hate being sad all the time and I am damn sure my kids dont like it. I lived a terrible terrible child hood with lots of killing drinking drugs hate and abuse molestation. the only thing I ever ever did or should say still do is make damn sure no one hurts my two girls. they are so happy but I am very unhappy. I dont know how I ended up with such great kids being such a loser and I just want to know how the hell do you get over the sucky life you already lived. I need to because my girls dont deserve a depressed b*tch to put up with. I have been to thearapists and was told I am lucky to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. not a joke. and by the way I know what I should do but can not bring myself to do it. it is all because I feel worthless. even knowing I am not. oh bla bla bla. same old story.

i'm a 17 yr old girl. i have an elder sister and she's married for a yr. i've known my bro-in-law for years now. i know what happened was very wrong...but i couldn't help it. i had gone over to my sister's place...and since she lives in another state, i had stayed for a few days. i've always been very friendly with my bro-in-law. my sister had a night duty that day and we guys were talking the night away. i really didn't want to do it...but one thing led to the other and we had sex. i'm really guilty about it...we swore we'll never let it happen again tho we never told my sister about it. but the guilt always ate me after it. last week my sister came home...she loves me so much...i cried at her shoulders. both my mother and she were perturbed about it and asked me what was so wrong. but i knew it would break my sister's heart. my parents would be very disappointed. i don't want to ruin my sister's marriage. what do i do? the guilt it making me sick...please help me...

I have been researching about human inner powers. It have been said that we humans have these powers but it got been forgotten because of our technologies. I believed that humans have been using these as their self-defense...

i think i have a stress type personality.i always try to keep others happy even if it is at the cost of my feelings.whenever someone misbehaves with me i dont react to him/her and remain silent at that time but all these things remain on my mind and i keep thinking over them whenever i am alone.then i try to forget everything and forgive the person myself even if the mistake is from other side. i think that saying anything will break his/her heart.this habit is preventing me from taking a good night's sleep. p[lease suggest something so that i can have good relations without torturing myself.

i have cbt psychotherapy for depression. I feel low/irritable alot of the time. Why do psychologists somehow personalise this depression/anger - and become unhelpful/grumpy back - rather than realising this is the illness /problem. They expect depressed/anxious people to be all bright and cheery before they are willing to help in my experience. A true paradox!!!!

Who stated this in the first place? What research is there to back this up? Do they mean only 10% at any one time because I'm sure using alot more would cause some sort of epileptic fit. Surely 90% doesn't do nothing at all.

I have a theory of sadism: the emotion that makes one find pleasure in inflicting pain or watching people suffer. What do you think? People who are sadistic verbally or physically are that way because they are very miserable with their lives. If they see someone content with their life, it infuriates them because they say to themselves, "What right does that person have in feeling good when I feel so bad?" So when the other person DOES feel bad, it gives them pleasure because in their mind they are thinking something like, "Good! Now you know what it feels like to be miserable like me!"

anytime when its dark, I'm scared, I sleep with a small light on. I feel safe if the blanket is completely covering me. but if my leg is out and its dark while sleeping, then I'm affraid that crocodile will eat it (childhood thing). some evening I went out to gather some clovers for my guinea pigs and I had a flashlight, but I was always scared of all dark places and corners around me. if there was a little bit of light from near industrial site, I felt safe, otherwise I was scared. I was scared if I aimed the flash light away from where I was standing.

in the night I cant go from one room to another without a light on. example from kitchen to living room: light is on in the kitchen, then I turn on the light in the corridor, then I turn off in the kitchen, then I turn on in the living room and then I go back to the corridor to turn the light off.

and I'm 19 years old male.

Years ago I used to LSD but I have not taken any for twenty years or more, but still sometimes I wake up and feel like I`m at Glastonbury. I can`t even tell my slippers from my slappers until I`ve had a cup of coffee.

Believers do good things as they are scared of judgement day and think they will get a great afterlife (ahem). This means that believers are only good natured because they feel it is in their own interests. I find this very selfish, they even admit that 'they are accountable' to god and atheists are not, proving their moral motives. What do you think?
