Psychology - July 2007

I find it really really annoying when people feel the need to defend their intellegence. I think this makes them sound even more desperate to prove their non-existing intellect. Is this wrong? Should I be more accepting of this practice?

I'm sure not all psychology majors are pretentious, I probably just know some humble ones but I just don't know they're psych majors (because they're humble) and obviously some in history could be called genius. But all of the ones I know seem to think they know everything about everyone around them based practically on how they sneeze. I've gotten into (civil) arguments with some before and they can't help themselves but pull out the "...I learned that in my COLLEGE psychology course". I even get it from fellow high school students in psychology. "Trust me, we learned about that in psychology. Its only natural for humans too..." As if all humans can follow any particular psychological standard. They even act like they know me better than I do. I want to go, "Really? What chapter of your psychology book was 'Everything about Lee's brain'?" Not trying to offend any psych majors here, but why do the ones I know seem to think they understand the workings of all mankind's brains?

Are there verbal ways? For example wouldn't me telling my husband to buzz off instead of busting out the windshield of his Lexus be an example of verbal passive aggression?

I know,who asks a serious question here and expects to get a serious answer, but ill give it a go: Do you ever feel that no matter how much you give (at anything in life) you never get anything back, and therefore feel plagued by bad luck. A little deep, but does anyone ever experience something like this?

Because I am. I go on dates, work full-time, go to the gym, but save for working, all these things are done occasionally.

Is there something wrong? Or is that life? I also make good money and struggle with the bills, even though I only rent?

Adjustment to the "real world"?

First of all - What is the Real reason for this website to exist?
Second : does anyone who is seriously minded and has entered this website of good faith : Does this website provide a masochistic-sadistic behaviour to in time develop in impressionable people, as well as in oneself - the more one tries to transcend the website's purpose?
Thirdly : what kind of a "hide" such as thick or tender "skin", or the type of temperament so callous that it does not respond to anything - must be necessary for anyone to continue on it? Which will not affect one in the least?
I am certain, I must not be the only one who's ever asked this question of oneself or of others . . but now, I'd like to post this publicly - Therefore, especially under the protection of virtuality . . does any one have any courage to answer this?
You may be just the One who helps me continue a habit which everyday, I tend to seek an answer to, or plainly, and for the sake of self-sanity salvaging, abandon IT once and for all.

Friend? Family member? Did you try to change them? Successful or not? How did you deal with it?

Look up "pack rat" on wikipedia.org if you're not familiar with the term.

How do you become Self-disciplined and how do u reward urself for achieving that?

I work alone from home and its very boring to work this way...but no choice!! And I have ended up being unorganized, no self-discipline, no appreciation for my goodwork and almost lost my efficiency!!

Ever wondered if we're actually eternal and doomed to live the same life over and over?

Or do we inherit memories?

Something I've noticed about myself is I get an adrenaline rush when something catastrophic happens. I felt like bouncing off the walls on 9/11. I felt excited during the tsunami or in the aftermath of hurricane katrina. I've had daydreams of life during a nuclear war, somehow imagining life would be more meaningful in such a situation. Every time we have a thunder storm or major winds I sit at the window hoping it gets worse. I think if I ever saw a tornado in real life I'd drive towards it and am not sure when common sense would take over. What do you think about this adrenaline rush I seem to get in the face of destruction?

Lately I would sleep 9 hours and still feel tired through the day, even at 7 and for a short while I would have 5 and feel okay. But now i still feel tired, I don't know why, I slept on 3 different beds and two different rooms and seems to only work for a while. I sleep through the night with never waking up. I seriously hate it. Also no matter what time i go to sleep i usually wake up at the same time every morning. I don't know if i toss and turn at nite.
Plz help!!!!

screwed up in adulthood in how i viewed life and people? because now at the age of 30 i have borderline personality disorder, i feel very bitter, have anger control issues and have never made any friends in life other than the internet , which ive had for 2 years.....could the people in my past who abused me~,mind games by teachers, kids bullying through high school, the street hoodlams who attacked me in the street and victimised me, and others who abused me, could they have done it intentionally so my perception of people and life would be screwed up in adult hood, and i wouldnt be able to adapt to life and integrate and form friendships??

so in a way, you could say they instilled that in me, theyve caused me to be psychologically troubled? would you aggree with this?
