I was out walking. I'm an American living in China. This kid, probably 19 or 20, (believe me for China that's a kid) is standing still. When I walk by, he grabs my ***. Very blatantly. I spin around and start hitting and cursing him. He sees I'm angry and laughs a bit. Then he takes off running. I chased him for a bit screaming and cursing, but then calmed down and just started laughing. Why would I start laughing about something like that?

What is the psychology BEHIND IT.

*Are they low life scum?
*Are they abused in society at a young age?
*Were they abused at a young age? - Hitler was by his father...
*Why is it that these people keep extreme views on something they know VERY LITTLE ABOUT?
*They seemed to be controled by the media...what they see is what they do...
*They join organisations like the BNP?
*They are bad for the country?

etc...etc...

And then say they are Christian - is this the Christian way?

(I was refering to a user/answerer here on Yahoo! Answers his name is private and he seems to hate people who are different that him [maybe a her?], anyway his avatar is of the Nazi emblem an his answers STRONGLY reflect his own BIASED opinion - he knows very little about these people and then tries to cause conflict...why?)

Would anyone here agree with the statement "The only demons that exist are the ones we create."?

I asked a mental health professional years ago if he believed "demons" existed (I used to practice occultism, and I knew a guy I did IT work for who was a shrink).

I ask this as it seems the human brain is capable of doing some amazing things, and I wonder just how much of what we experience is real, and what is just imagined ("Bob hates me"; in reality Bob is just having a bad day, ect...). Like as a kid, didn't the boogey man only come out at night, and only when you got into bed and the lights were turned off?

We all lose are cool from time to time, but is it really that difficult carrying for an infant? (non-parent here)

According to the segment, the mother place the baby in a small marsh like body of water, weighed the baby down by placing two medium side boulders on his back and walked way leaving the young infant for eager hungry wildlife to feed on.

You hear and read about postpartum stress syndrome, but do you personal believe this is real or just an excuse for some mothers to get away with murder?

I spend all my time indoors, apart from when I feel like i can manage facing people at the gym, or when i go and work for a few hours at my Mums store.

Part of the reason I'm always inside is because I don't personally feel like i have friends, just a few acquintances that prefer each others company to my own.
[They're always out together and i never recieve an invite]

My Mum keeps pushing me to go out, and says that not socialising with people is bad for me, but I'm not good with people.
She also thinks i'm developing a phobia of people, because I won't go anywhere if I know large amounts of people will be there, particularly people my age [I'm 16].

I've come to accept that i spend all my time alone, but my Mum keeps pushing. Is there something wrong with the way I'm living?

The last thing i wanted was to sound whiney. If i did, I apologise.

Most spend their life for the success. Some have achieved in academic life but a lot of them are successful in their jobs or business, his /her company and or even family . There are a group of people who succeed in nothing but it seems to me that they are happy. This means they are successful in their life? The success is truly important ? If I have failure in what I have expected for , does it mean nothing ? What do you think about your success?

I’m not a kid, I’m 25 years old for Christ sake. However, what I am and what I feel are totally different. When will my mind catch up with how old I am? I’m sick to death of still acting like a kid, but no matter how much I try, I never seem to grow up.

Can someone relate / explain this to me?
When I was a "kid," I often felt that I was in "love," but in hindsight, I believe they were hormonal crushes. Now, in relationships, I don't feel I'm in "love," but rather I think, "do the qualities of this person satisfy my needs?"

Am I messed up? (rhetorical question). Jaded? Sometimes I feel I say "I can relate to you," just because it's a nice thing to say, not because I truly 100% emphathize with the person.

Right now I'm dating someone because it's... well good for me. I'm not gay, but I'm faking it so I can go out with this popular guy who pretty much gives me social protection and a popular ranking in school. But see... After so much of faking being gay, will it eventually create a psychological change in me and make me gay... or can I keep going straight without being changed by this?

Help?

So, I'm fake. Very fake... it's not even funny. But I've come so far that right now I don't even know who I am on the inside. I fake most of my emotions and tend to copy the people I'm around the most. It's horrible. When I hear new music or see new clothing styles my first thought is "how popular will it be." and as soon as I hear criticism of something from one of my friends I completely lose interest in it and hate it with a passion. It also goes the other way around.

I tried getting away from it all... but I can't. I breakdown if I don't have someone telling me what to like, or what to do. I need people in my life to do this.

And now that High School is comming up, I'm gonna be forced to break away from this habbit... but I don't think I can. It's terribly effecting my future because right now I don't know what I want to do with my life because nobody is telling me what... and if they did I know I couldn't listen...

Please help... I really need it.

I've been called superficial a lot lately. I do shop at expensive stores for everyday items, and I hate having to use or wear generics. Also, I don't follow current events.... or anything that is outside of my social circle. All I honestly care about it what happens to me, and how it effects my future. I don't think I'd care if I hurt someone's feelings as long as I knew I would come out on top... This is bad, I know it is. Is it me being superficial?

How can I change this attitude before it gets me into serious trouble?

Most people I meet like me. But somehow, a group of authority figures I am involved with seems to hate me to the core?
I am tagged by them as having an “antiauthority” or “invulnerability” attitude. I have done things in the past to earn such tags, but have for a long time avoided any behavior that can in any way be interpreted as such.
I feel as though I have changed in a way I never thought possible and am now constantly “sucking it up” to make the best of situations when associated with these figures. Yet somehow something always comes back to me about having “antiauthority” and “invulnerability” attitudes. It seems as though I am at a remarkable disadvantage and have to go through significantly more effort than anyone for the same result because I am tagged with these attitudes.
It seems to me that time will not heal these wounds.
How can I put myself in a position where this group of authority figures does not constantly have an attitude of undue contempt towards me?

I hate the way I have been living my life. I was never able to deal with my sexual abuse, when I was a kid. I moved out of my house when I was 15. I have moved every single year since then. Every time I had any kind of an emotional attachment to anyone, I would move. I was extremely emotionless (almost robotic like). I was secretive, I drank, I kept my friends, work, and sex life extremely separate from each other.

I recently moved to a big city, and have decided to try to open my life to people. I used to hide, and not mix my worlds together. This year I have been. I am having trouble with it. I feel so exposed. I feel like I am out of control.

The worst part is, is that I don't date. I never have. I usually make up having any type of a relationship to escape questions. I can't do this anymore. I am lonely, and I want to have someone in my life. What can I do to just let me be me, and to have someone in my life. I don't want to end up alone.

plz tell me whether this is a right policy , i mean i have started following it in all relationship, not intentionally, but if some pple are not ready to help me, i just cant help them, i started this to make them realize that u dint help me last time,

but sometimes i feel it has made me rude, i used to follow the policy to give unconditionally, but that hurts me when other pple does not give as much as i do, pple in today's world have become so selfish, they know how to get their work done, i dont harm/hurt anybody, but i dont let other pple take advantage of it....it sometimes make me feel as if i m bad, m i doing right

He's attempted it in the past (b4we even knew each other) and he does have a past of drug and alcohol abuse, I guess thats what you call it. and his childhood wasn't that great. he's currently 16. We're so in love and have our whole future planned out but recently I've noticed he's been really wierd like he won't talk bout our future like he used to even when I bring it up which is uncommon. Aside from that he's just been very not himself which I haven't been the only one to notice our bff who is constantly with us has noticed too. Tonight he told me he didn't wanna live anymore and he didn't plan on having a future thats why he hasn't been talking bout it like usual. I told him everything was gonna be ok even if it wasn't right now and all that stuff. I was so terrified still am actually so I told our bff, Tony. what am I supposed to do?...what am I supposed to say to him?...I've never been in this spot b4 how can I help the guy I love so very much cuz w/out him whats there 4 me?
