Psychology - June 2007

this happened one year ago. I was outside going to work. I always had a grudge against this common homeless man every time I saw him in my previously nice jacket. So one night, he asked for change, I was so suddenly mad I attacked him and claimed robbery. I said to him in a low voice "Would you like to change now." It was all anger. I called the cops on him, washed my jacket at home, and told everyone I bought a new jacket. I learned the man was severely beaten in jail for taking one's jacket while sleep. Too bad. Stealing never pays. I did nothing wrong. Just self defense. answer please.

Am I just strange or does that happen for other people too? Is there some psycho thing about it?

Rapists are pathetic losers who can not get into a normal sexual relati0nship with a woman, and refuse to believe that it is THEIR fault that they can not get into a sexual relationship. They CHOOSE to blame other people, and thus they get angry when they see everyone around them hooking up. Based on their anger, they CHOOSE to commit rape.

The world would be a much happier place if these pathetic losers who can not convince a woman to have sex with them chose to commit suicide instead of rape.

Do you agree?

When i was about 5,6, or 7, i was molested by my uncle. I havent told anyone in my family or friends about this, simply because i know they wont believe me. To be honest though, being molestated though doesnt affect me at all. But whenever a guy tries to flirt wtih me or even touch me, i get soooo damn uncomfortable. And im 15 so i should be wanting this almost, if u get me. So i get so uncomfortable to the point where i start to stutter or i start to shake. Since i claim that being molested doesnt affect me, i dont know, could something like far from the back of my mind feel that it is because i was molestated?

I know its a stupid question, but this is the best way that i could explain it.

This was a video series that was discussed recently on Oprah. Basically with positive thinking you can change your life. What do you think?

Whats the actual Safety of Binaural Beats? I just found out about them today. I mean I guess it's no different then regular music or even TV how it stimulates your mind. Just didn't know what to think though since everything connected with them seems to have the word Experimental.

i remember from psychology a 3 step process where you act/react to something that is going to happen, then you do something about it, and later on you get exhausted and give up (sometimes get sick, like when you study really hard). what is this model called?

So I noticed that when I am in the hallway or on the street and I pass someone I acknowledge they are there (smile, nod, say hi) and then I look down at the ground.

I thought at first that it was a self esteem issue, but I don't think I have low self esteem. Since I realized this, I have been trying to keep my head up and look forward instead. Now I have noticed a lot of people do this when they pass me too.

Do you do this? Do you know where this habit comes from?

I am always looking for that "someone". I have a great life, on paper that is. I am a single dad with a 12 yr old living with me. I am 37, have a very successful career. Great house and all those things, great friends, etc. I am an attractive guy, workout daily, all that. However the second I am out of a relationship, my head is on a swivel looking for the next. I am bored within seconds when I am home by myself. I feel like I amincomplete or missing something all the time. Like i need a girlfriend. Then when I have one, which I do about half the time in the last 4 years, most of the time I am not happy with her and looking around even then. I wish more than anything I could be just content and happy with what I have. I am a bright guy but just cant figure out why I always feel like I am missing something, hate being at home by myself, always looking for a new girlfriend and then usually not being content when I have one. What the heck is wrong with me?

My mother has always put herself before everyone. She's never proud of us, her kids, for our own sake, has threatened suicide, badmouthed our father to turn us against him, had tantrums on the floor when she didn't get her way, and used to constantly tell me I was selfish when I didn't take care of her (I was only a child). She wants attention and admiration 24/7 and won't even let me study.

I am still suffering as an adult. I am staying with my grandmother (and her) while I'm in school full-time and it is getting worse. My mother has not prepared me for "life" and I find that everything I need to know, I have to learn myself!

I had to pay hundreds of dollars for driving lessons because my mom didn't "feel like" teaching me to drive. She won't "let" me use the washing machine to do the laundry myself. My student loan debt is getting higher and higher, but if I move out, it will skyrocket.

I've been nothing but respectful, but now I am very resentful. How can I keep sane?

First of all I CAN read. I actually like to read and am very good at it, but lately I can't seem to finish an entire book at will. I have an entire shelf of books and the newest ones are all only half-read. Does anyone know what could have caused this sudden disinterest?

To say God has no purpose, therefore is not, seems rather arrogant to me. It reminds me of a story I once heard of a husband who once came home to his tidy house, with the flowers growing in the window box, the lawn was mowed, the kids were neatly tucked into bed, and dinner was waiting for him on the table. Ignoring all this, staring at a faint stain on the carpet where his son had spilled some red cool-aid, and with contempt, he asked his wife what she did all day.
Ignoring the comment, she smiled at him sweetly, and kissed him (as she did every evening). As he sat down, she took his boots off, brought him a cold glass of lemon-aid, and asked him how his day went. He went to bed that night, dreaming on how he could get rid of this monsterous leach he had been calling his wife.
Does this make any sense? Comments please, Thanks.
