Psychology - June 2007

I feel as though I get overlooked for a lot of things in life. Like when my church bought grad gifts for its grads, I was the only one they forgot. And at work, when I graduated from university, the two other people who were graduating were acknowledged with a cake as a congradulations and everyone celebrated them, but I was completely overlooked in that, even though I've worked there just as long, and graduated this spring, same as they did.

What can I do so that people will not overlook me like this? What kind of personality traits do I need to have, or what do I need to change? What's wrong with me?

I've always see in movies, when people get hypnotized. Is it true that you can hypnotize someone? How? And also, does it actually work like in a movie, like you can command them to do something, like a robot? Can you actually do it with a watch?

I saw a question where an individual asked, are you more introverted or extroverted? Many that replied introverted accompanied their answer with "unfortunately" or "but I'm working on it"

I was surprised because I consider myself to be quite introverted and happy/satisfied. Also, according to Maslow, self-actualized people require a lot of "me time" and often prefer to spend free time alone.

Just wondering..is introversion considered negative compared to extroversion? What do you think?

Thanks!!

My friend is driving me crazy with this, twisted, emo psychological disorder. Since I can't solve this myself, I've turned to the outside world.

Diagnosis (My Point of View):

-Aggressively follows the 'emo' stereotype
-Craves attention, but pushes it away
-Repeatedly whines about nothing, or little meaningless things
-Gets mad when there is nothing to complain about
-Self-destructive, for attention-getting purposes
-Fabricates a worse past than she had, so others will be more sympathetic.
-Does morbid things, possibly for attention.

Someone please tell me what I can do to fix this? All answers welcome.

I recently graduated from high school and I did not feel any happiness connected to it, I was just like okay I graduated. I have this belief (and maybe it is partly true) that people around my age have too high standards for themselves these days and that we will never actually get to where we want to be. That is how I feel about myself except I don't know what I want to be so I feel like I will achieve...nothing. I don't have any abilities to become anything so it's like I'm wasting my time. When I think of the people congradulating others on graduation it makes me sad almost because I'm thinking okay we graduate but will we actually achieve anything? It's like all this happiness for nothing. I feel this way about myself but I don't know why. Granted there are ambitious people who have what it takes for certain paths, but not me. For some reason, I've been feeling worthless and not up to doing anything, and I pace all the time. Is this just normal?

i mean something that affects you psychologicaly. like a horrible event in your life and loved one dying etc.

i for one feel nothing. its not that i dont care either. but when i here something that has happend i dont feel anything at all. it realy doesnt begin to sink in until weeks later and it affects me subconciously. like random and sudden sadness about nothing in particular or lonliness. and its also not that i try to ignore it. i wish i could deal with it but when i search for it and try to bring up some emotion i draw a blank.

I don't think they understand that it is a life threatening mental illness and has the highest death rate of any mental disorder! So many people think it's caused just by the media and s who want to be thin. That's ridiculous. Does anyone know why people make fun of something they don't even understand?

Why is it when a teenager turns a teenager they become rebellious, or like to challenge authority? It seems as though their brain goes haywire once they turn 13 yrs. old on until they become adults

Sometimes I talk to people and there are long pauses when I talk. I sound retarded when I talk to people. Or when the words come out,for example, instead of saying "there", I say "they". I don't know why I'm misusing words and stuttering. Confidence maybe? Or when I am leaving a message for someone, I forget what I want to say and there is a long pause...Instead I say umm. Please help me sound intelligent. This happens when I am talking to people who make me nervous. I am usually very articulate and my words flow.

I'm referring to the initial moments when you meet or introduced to someone new. What tend to be your feelings towards them. Is it warmth and openess or does it tend to be suspicion and hostility?

ps. I am referring to people of the same sex. Meeting the opposite sex is obviously governed by different, biologically driven reactions.

Did you ever think you could do something..
And then realize ,
That was not in your best interest ?
How did you handle telling others,
Who were involved
That you had changed your mind ?
