Psychology - July 2007

Okay, I'm in my early twenties, I'm successful, I have a good job, I'm going to be graduating from college in a little over a year from now, I'm attractive, I'm pretty smart, all in all, I have a lot of things going for me. EXCEPT in the relationship department. I can't find a guy that I'm genuinely interested in, and when I do, they don't seem to want me!! It drives me insane. And I agree with the guys that say "nice guys finish last" because it's definitely true. All the men that I've dated who were honest, nice, polite, and good to me, I've cut things off with,I didn't feel any chemistry with. However, with some of the other men I've dated, who were even less than POLITE, I forgave numerous times for inconsiderate things they had done, made excuses for,and just plain couldn't get over them for the longest time! I became obsessed with them! Why am I like this? Will I ever meet a "good guy" that I'm honestly attracted to, and will I ever have a healthy relationship with a guy? Thanks

Sometimes when I'm sitting around doing nothing and my mind is wandering, I'll think about scenarioes or situations that could happen in my head. Sometimes though, I really get into the moment while I'm thinking, and I'll do an action or something that I would do if the scenario in my head was actually happening, in real life.

For example, I was sitting in my room, thinking about playing beerpong with my friends. I played the whole game out in my head, and then I made the last cup to seal the game (if you don't know what beer pong is, it's a drinking game, and making the last cup wins the game for you or your team). That was all going on in my head, but when I made the last cup in my head, I raised my fist in my room and whispered something like 'Yeaaaa!' I didn't realize I was doing this until I saw myself in the mirror. I don't do this kind of stuff in public, I don't think, but is getting way to into your thoughts like this normal even if you're by yourself?

no one has died, thank goodness, knock on wood, nothing major has happened, but I just feel like I've gradually, slowly but surely, been having less and less fun over the years. it seems to get harder and harder to get people out, to get myself out, even-- and when i finally do, it's ok but it's not as fulfilling as I had hoped. i put a lot of effort into getting out there but others just don't seem to care.

I can get so mad(like now at a loved one) and still feel the endorphin rush of love when they leave the room.

I am currently a 21 year old wife and mother of 2 and I have really been thinking lately about my past. When I was 9 I was repeatedly raped by my brother for 2 1/2 years. I never told anyone until I was 16, but by that time my parents had gotten a divorce and my brothers were staying with my mom. I never told anyone cause I felt so ashamed, I mean I was only 9 at the time. My brother was about 13 or 14 when he started raping me and my husband doesn't understand why when he tries to be rough with me in bed it brings back horrible times. There are sometimes when I accept it, but I need help. How do I get over such a tramatizing and hurtful thing? How can I just let go everything and let everything else fall into place? I still do talk to my brother cause he apologized and I accepted, but I can not talk to him for long. I say Hi and that is it. What do I do?

The answer isn't money... but it is a tool to acheive money. It isn't work, and it isn't only intellegence. It's a tool we use everyday?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but let's be honest, most (violent and/or dangerous) criminals are pretty minging aren't they?

So what gives? Do we just connect crime with ugliness? Or are these geezers genuinely uglier than the average?

I seriously don't know what to do with myself anymore. It gets worst everyday. I'm so tired of my life. I'm tired of crying every night. I've been doing it for too long. I feel like I'm not worth anything at all. I'm not close with my family. they are like strangers to me. I don't feel comfortable getting close with others because I don't trust them. I always feel so alone and I have a hard time interacting with others. I'm not even like a normal quiet person because at least they have personality when they do talk but me on the other hand I'm just plain weird. I don't fit in anymore and for those who seem to like me I cannot understand why. I feel so unworthy in the eyes of others. I've tried counseling and it doesn't work. I've tried talking with others but it just gets worst everyday. Some days I'm able to go through it and other days I just go down the drain. I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel like they only way that the pain would end is if I kill myself.

Many people fear death, I fear death. The question is why. We all know that life is terminal. We have no control over when and how we die. Is it a fear of leaving our loved ones behind or just pure survival instinct? Maybe selfishness? I would like to hear peoples views on this...

I have been dealing with some pretty intense depression now for a while ever since a unwanted divorce. I pretty sure I had many of the symptoms before the divorce as well just not as intense. Thoughts of suicide, uninterested in EVERYTHING, lack of concentration, social isolation...etc. I have been going counceling for about 9 months and things don't seem to be getting better. I finally made an appointment with a psychiatrist this week and I know its going to come down to pills. Has anyone had their life drastically changed from anti depressants? Good, bad? Please share you story. I need some encouragement. Thanks.

ok, when i tell you this, dont tell me to see a theripest cause i cant.... but anyway. starting a few months ago i had this though in my head. the though was "what if im really not alive? that my entire life is just like a dream or a figment of someones imagnation?" whenever i dont think about it i feel fine and normal. but when the thought enters my head (which is almost all the time) i feel like my whole life, everything, is just not real. and i feel like im not real. but when i try not to think about it cause when i dont i feel fine. but i always do and when ever that thought is in my head, im sooooo miserable because i feel like me, my friends, the, everything is just not real. i cant talk to any one cause i tried telling some people but they just dont under stand, u guys prolly dont understand fully, but i was wondering if anyone had any advice to make me not think about it, or any other advice?
I asked this question before, and i got some pretty good advice. but nothing seems

I'm shy.

I go to a small church (around 50 people) and there are a lot of people there, of all ages but I don't seem to want to talk to anyone. Nothing beyond the canned reply to "how are you."

When I go to my college classes, I don't say much beyond what's required. All I do is answer simple but common questions "Do you know what time it is." and that's pretty much my social life. Hence I have no friends.

Now I started this question by stating that I was shy, but I'm beginning to wonder if it's more than that. I can summon the courage to say something, if i had anything interesting to say. But I got nothing.

This isn't how I want to be. I'd like to make some friendships. When I see people hanging out together, I can't help but envy them, hoping to one day be able to speak and "open up." But alas, I can't.

I keep dreaming of being in a hurry gathering things that belong to me, and I would keep forgeting where I put this item or that, or I would drop something or another. I really get bugged and sometimes even cry in the dream not wantign to lose any of my things. It sometimes happens with my brothers I keep gathering them to protect them from something and they keep getting lost.

I know someone that is very stubborn and set in her ways. When she gets agitated, everyone must suffer! She goes on and on; and won't let up!
How can I keep my peace-of-mind around her and try to calm the situations down without making them worse?
I need some serious advice!
and, Thank You in advance!

Even our features have a limited set of characteristics apparently.

So what makes you so different and special then, eh?

Fancy tattoos? Your wacky, far out sense of humour?

I'll bet there's loads of people out there just like you, they probably even have your haircut.

When you come to a situation...where your mind (Brain) says one thing to do , but then right at that moment your heart says exactly opposite to it.... to do.
What will you do and whom will you listen.... Brain or the Heart and WHY ?

To show what I mean: If the liar is trying to get another place to live and have someone to always do her bidding and an extra check for a while, she might brag about her previous exploits to the person she's running the scam on.
