Psychology - June 2007

(emotionally) there is nothing, noone to hold onto. everyone has proved to be a backstabber/doesnt care. I need someone I can be comfortable with pouring my heart out, and know that they are an endless source of love and care for me.

what can i do? i dont want to be this close to breaking down.

I'm rather conceited and vain.

I've tried acting humble and being friendly, but the fakeness just doesn't work.

What can I do to develop a more humble personality?

im not talking about aiming VERY HIGH, im talking about goals.

we were always told to have a goal, have a dream, and in fact, aim high so when you fail to reach the moon, you at least reach the stars.

but consider the 2 scenarios.

1) a guy aims to "go for jogs once every week, for 1 month", and failed.
2) a guy does not aim at all, and went for a jog, then tells himself "man, you did well!". he ends up being more motivated and confident in himself.

which is better, to dream and aim high, or not to dream and have goals at all?

It's not as though we all try to "hold on dearly" to the issues that screw us up...it's more as though the issue is like a pit bull with it's jaws clamped down on your leg and not letting go!

I want to be around more positive people. I am divorced and am currently living with my parents. My daughter is 15 and lives with her Dad in another state.

I talk to my cousin about some of the issues that I am going through with my ex-husband. She says that I should contact a lawyer for harassment and stalking. I do not agree and she gets frustrated with me. She also points out my weaknesses.. She is one year older than me, but I have decided not to talk to her much anymore.

I spoke on the phone with my brother and he insulted me so I hung up on him. I later sent a note to apologize, but he did reply. My cousin keeps reminding me that I hung up on him.

I don't talk too much to my parents. They judge me in their own ways.

I do attend a Divorce Recovery Group once a week and get support from it. They have outings once every few weeks.

How else can I try and avoid negative people and be around more positive, uplifiting people?

What made you choose your yahoo questions name? Does the name of other people on this site influence the way you view them. Or is it the relationship you build up with your contacts that affect the connection you might feel with certain people? Do names really matter? Polly

We had problems with each other in the past,and there was tension,but i had a good conversation with her(i treated her respectfully,asked her how her year was going,restrained my temper in front of her,patted her gently on the back of her seat,and gave her the space she needed when we finished.)Shortly thereafter,she walked by me looking warm peaceful and with a bit of a smile on her face.Is that a good thing?She's also middle-eastern,and aren't they known as backstabbers and untrustworthy?Is she out to one-up me,or was her gesture a good thing?

For psychology class, I am conducting an ethnographic research, interviewing a senior citizen. Although biographic questions are expected, we should focus on the interviwee's reflections of past life events and stages whereby questions are to be more psychological in nature than historical/ biographical. As well, we have to ask the interviewee of how she or he views life at the present and future. The interview should last about 30 minutes and we must audio or video tape for class presentation purposes.

Anyways, I just was wondering if you all can give me a hand. I need help coming up with questions for the interview following the criteria listed above for the questions. Please, please help.

P.S. The questions should be more psychological in nature than historical/ biographical. Thanks. I will give points to whoever has the best collection of questions.

Have you ever thought of something so much even though you had no control over it? I do this all the time. I wanted to know if you did this as well. If you do, what is it and why?

Most kids wanted to be superman or batman growing up. I used to dream I was the kid from "The Omen" Damien. I used to try and make pianos fall from the sky and land on my sisters head. On vacation I would try and cause us to have a car accident when we didnt go to theme park I had hoped. Am I abnormal.

I have am interesting mental predicament. I am not suicidal, all though my mind likes to test me. My irrational mind, often brings up the topic of suicide. I am not one to even go in the direction of something so drastic. I am not even that sad, I just deal with a little anxiety. It feels as if my brain is constantly testing me, by bringing up the idea of suicide, I get confused, for I ask myself “does that mean I am suicidal” and then I start to freak out, and I get a headache, and then I start feeling anxiety. The thought of suicide makes me very un-easy, and the fact that I am writing this, and spending m Saturday night asking this, makes me feel like I’m nuts. But sometimes, my brain cant help but to go to a dark place.I don’t want to hurt myself, I WOULD not do that. I am scared by these thoughts, and would rather not have them. They come up as a test, and how I deal with it. I cant help but indulge because its such a serious topic!


Any input, or anything to help me understand the irrational part of my mind. My thoughts contradict my soul and my heart. My soul and heart would never do such a thing, I love life to much. But my brain wants to come in and bother that, and test me.


Oy, headache!
