Psychology - July 2007

I ask this Question out of confusion! You see, all the information I have gathered thus far, seems to sum up "Mana" as being "spititual power". Anyway, my teacher gave me a test last week and one of the Q? were: What is Mana? And so I answerd : Spiritual power.
When I recieved my graded test back(I recieved a 96%) My teacher deducted points for the aforementioned Q&A, and wrote underneath my answer the following: "A strong fertility persona"
So baSICALLY, iM TRYING TO DETERMINE, or understand this concept better, or figure out if my teacher is bugging out (mistaken). So any insight on this issue will be greatly appreciated,TX.

This past year or so, I have had a few occasions where I would hear my name being said in my head. I was at work one time and heard some one say, "Anna". I was just walking down a hallway. I turned and no one was there. Then it happened a few seconds later. I noticed that they sound sort of like an echo.
It happened once again last night when I was lying in bed trying to fall asleep. The only thing that i hear is, "Anna". There is no tone to the voice at all. No anger, happiness... no expression.
Also at times I can hear conversations. They are jumbled, like many conversations at once with maybe 5-6 people. Does anyone know what this means?

I'm looking for hynotherapy places in Michigan, preferably close in Lansing, maybe someone who specializes in getting rid of fears.

I'm also looking for testimonials to the effect of hypnotherapy. After an incident on a plane a few years back, I'm terrified of flying, to the point where I cry thinking about it.

Has anyone had hypnotherapy for a problem like this and did it work?

I'm just asking. I've watched old movies with aliens who have psychic powers and all this stuff. I would think there is a slight chance. We still have SO MUCH to learn about the human brain...

What is it about quiet people that you find intimidating and/or unlikeable? One of the most common complaints that I've heard is that more outgoing people can't tell what quiet people are thinking, and they're afraid that the quiet people are assessing them and making plans of some kind. As a quiet person myself (by choice, most of the time), I can tell you that this is not the case. We're not out to get you, nor are we silently sitting there and judging you.

Thoughts?

I think everyone has a positive and negative financial tally throughout their lives. If I am a 3 million dollar man (5000 a month salary for 50 working years), When I lose 5000 dollars, i think of it as my duty to work one extra month or one month of unpaid work. If anyone can understand what I mean by these stupid stuff, please give me a good psychological advice. I don't want to end up working unpaid through the rest of my life. I know I am bad at games. But I get a lot of energy and feelings of happiness when I win.

Even simple easy every day things.

I've battled with many psychological ailments throughout my life. I have a problem committing to things because other events in my life prohibit me. I've always been distracted by significant others or friends. I'm smart and very capable of success...but as soon as I'm in a relationship I become disabled at bettering myself. I get panicky not being around my partners a majority of the time...I think it's because I need to concentrate on too many aspects of my life. My partner is of first importance to me. is it wrong to feel like this?
is there anyway at all to be consumed by my relationship but at the same time be able to be successful...??
or should i just give up and not care about ever accomplishing a trade or specialty?

I asked a buddhist riend of mine: if someone had a gun at your head and was threatening to pull the trigger - what would you do?
He said: I don't know now. I'll have to wait til then.
He says its related to Karma but COME ON!

ok i'm a 15 yr old who's really got no idea where her life is going. i think i was depressed during the past fall/winter, and i don't know why. now i am feeling better, but i tend to be very solitary now, like i really won't show much affection (like hugs) towards my parents or younger sister, and i feel horrible about it, but it just doesn't feel natural.
i don't mean to sound like a fckd up mental case here, but what is this??
and i've been told i don't share myself with others enough, like i'm very good at masking emotions.
my mother recently has been taking trips to care for her mother, spending a week away, then coming back for the weekend,then leave again and my dad's at work all day,and my younger sister currently is at a sleepaway camp for two weeks, so i'm alone.the scary part is,i think i like it better that way. i would NEVER tell anyone this and most people think we have a perfect family.
i don't want to hurt any of them, but i can't wait for college to get away, twistedly

Does online anonymity tend to bring out and attract areas of people's personality and psyche, that they would normally fear and try to repress? Do these repressed traits tend to manifest themselves in someone's online persona?

So lately I've noticed this about myself. I am never happy or satisfied. It always seems I want what I don't have, and then when I finally do get it, I no longer have any desire for it. I do this with many things in my life. Nothing ever seems to live up to my expectations. I guess I'm just expecting more, and then when reality hits, I'm just dissapointed with myself and with whatever I had high hopes for. This goes with relationships, jobs, anything material, and even a kitten that someone gave me! I can not committ to anything or stick things out, and I hate responsibility of any kind. It is so hard for me. Once the excitement is over, or the initial interest has waned. I have "the grass is always greener" mentality, or something. I'm extremely anxious, restless, and bored with life. Please help. What is wrong with me? This has ruined many things for me. I don't know how I became this way. Thanks!

introverts can become good psychotherapists and extroverts become good behavior therapists.

I notice that a lot of people on here speak based on what others say. For example, 2 weeks ago a person will answer a question saying “Yes I agree Animals should have rights” and then today will say “an Animal is worthless and don’t need rights”.
So I am assuming some of you are extremely confused people who ONLY want to point out grammar and spelling mistakes, or you agree with what ever the more are saying.
I posted two other questions today and I sat here reading other things the “responders” have asked and answered in the past month, and it is truly amazing how opinions change in less then a week. (Not all of them).

I am only wondering why some people do that? And are you a follower or a leader?

Two years ago my teenage daughter become suddenly ill and died. As the shock wears off and I'm "feeling" life again, I find myself desiring sex, just for the physical pleasure of it. Also, I'm in the beginning stages of menopause, and wonder if that's the reason for my increased sex drive. I'm a single (for 12 years) parent, and have lived in abstinence for that time without difficulty. (My son is developementally delayed and still lives with me.) I've worked hard to earn a respected place in my rural community, and am not interested in a committed relationship. But I find myself wanting to find a partner for a strictly physical relationship, and I find myself thinking about sex at various times of the day.

Well, i've been emotionally sensitive all my life.

I write a lot, so I like to daydream up different scenarios.

So the other day I was bored and was daydreaming this weird senerio where I was in this hospital with some guy who was about to die. When he finally died, I cried in real life.

Am I insane??

I moved to a new country around 8 months ago. Since then, I feel my mind has been completely messed up. I've become more cynical and pessimistic towards life that usual. Nothing makes me happy, I don't see a future ahead of me, almost as if I'm not gonna live far. I am alive solely because I am a chrisitian and I believe suicide is a huge sin. But I have attempted suicide in my home country. And I've developed wierd feelings. Like the need to be sarcastic in order to show my inner negativity to others, blaming others for my lack of peace of mind and indecisiveness. I've even researched plenty of mental disorders to see if I have any because I don't feel normal. My self esteem is at an all time low and irritability at an all time high. Something must be wrong with me. Can someone give me some advice?
