Its not really something out there, you can never tell I have it if you meet me. Its just that, I think highly of myself. Whenever I can't complete a task and my father reminds me to finish it and I don't come through in the end, I tend to blame the people that are the closest to me, and care about me(my dad, or my sister, my uncle etc). I am a extremely nice person and I always apologize to my family if I ever hurt their feelings. Whats weird is that I don't do this to my freinds or people that I meet in my daily life. Its just that I turn I against the only people who have a stake in my well being, happiness, and success. What can I do to make this never happen again?

For the past few months I have been having conflicting thoughts whether if I am a confident person or not. At times I feel confident, I would look in a mirror and I would feel good at the person staring back, but other times I feel as if my confidence certainly vanished.

Is it possible that a person can feel confident one day and not the other? Is confidence just a matter of thought that our brain plays tricks on us?

I am a 20 year old student in college, so I guess I am at an age where things can seem very confusing.

I'm a very outgoing person but I have an accent because I'm not american and that right there has made me very self concious to the point that I hate it when I have to read/speak infront of people because I don't want them to laugh at me. I get embarrased SO easily, it's kind of funny. Sometimes I avoid saying the things that I really want to say (for the same reason). IT's so stupid because my accent is not even bad. You can clearly understand what I'm saying. But sometimes I feel like people are not listening to what I"m saying but how I'm saying it.
ugh! How can I get over this?
I need to stop getting nervous when it comes to reading infront of a large group of people because that's when I start messing up,but when I'm just being myself you can't really notice my accent.

ok, so i have this problem and it's actually only with my parents. I get along with them both just fine, but when it comes to them eating, if i even hear the fork "clank" against a plate, i get SUPER pissed and my stepdad, well, he eats like a ****** savage anyways, and that makes me SOOO mad. what can i or should i do so i can handle this? You can't say "leave the room" because we eat dinner together. I don't say anything because it's rude, but once in a while I just BLOW up and it's all because of them eating! what is this?

My bf and I broke up over a month ago. I've been thinking about his past and present behavior and it just seems to me that he may have a personality disorder. He has been in trouble with the law (DUI) yet still continues to drink and drive. He has hit me/been aggressive in the past while drinking, but no apology the next day. Gave me no presents for my B-day. Wanted to take me on a trip over xmas, said he had the tickets, then disappeared for a month. Has lied to me and stood me up many many times. I am 8 mos preggo w/ his baby and he would always say "I want you to have our baby" and then we broke up b/c he said he wasn't ready, that we couldn't have it. I told him no and to get out of my life. He e-mails the next day telling me to go f*** myself and that he has a new gf, that sh'e preggo and to forget about him. He hasn't called to check on me or the baby (due in Oct) I'm 34, independent and moving on. I was just thinking about it and wanted to put the question out there.

My sister has this paranoia, worrying about everyone (family, friends, coworkers, etc) talking behind her back. From what I know, everyone associated with her have really nothing negative to say about her, at least to me.

But one aspect I did notice in my millions of short-talk with her is that she is also protective of people in general (even if she doesn't know them) and doesn't like others who express their opinions of them.

Example: We talk about the 007 movie "Casino Royale" on DVD and I felt the director's work was subpar. She shouts back: "HOW DARE YOU TALK BEHIND HIS BACK!" My reply is: Huh?

In a way, she despises critics in general and feels they talk behind people's backs.

Is she losing her mind? I know for sure she has anger management problems in recent years which also doesn't help. I'm surprised so far that didn't lose friends over talking about, really nothing issues (like the above example).

Is there even a medical/psychological term for this?

you are a bystander. you watch a train, headed straight for a crowd of 20 people. You hold a button. If you do not push the button, the train will hit and kill all 20 innocent bystanders. If you push the button the train will change tracks, in which case it will only hit a single person and kill them. You only have these two options.
1) what do you do?
2) what if the single person was a known mass murderer? would this change your decision?
3) what if the single person was your mother?

My mom has made some bad choices in her life, 2 divorces etc. and the third one is a doozy because he wants to isolate her from her family and tried to isolate her from my brother and I who were 12 and 19. Then started a war with her brothers and sisters to further do this. She has this major hang up with anyone giving her advice even if its good advice or with good intent. She claims this is why she hates her brothers and sisters because they gave her advice growing up and she is sick of it. She tells me all the time how she is an adult and no one is going to tell her what to do. The sad part is if she had listen to them she may not have made such bad choices. I know this and this irritates me to no end when she says this statement that I see as ignorant and immature. She is 52. Why is she so offended by people offering advice, anyone! Please help. This is eating away at me.

Are there any weird habits or routines that any of you have?

With me for example, I always like to have something in my hand to fiddle with like a phone, pen, or coin, etc. I'm tapping a pen off the keyboard as I type this question.

So what about all of you, what makes you weird or quirky?

i have this thing where i get so angry that i can't stop expressing it. often it comes in the form of feeling that i've been "wronged" or betrayed by someone. i'll get so overwhelmingly mad that i can't express the depth of the anger to the person. the person will usually get angry back, or walk away, or somehow try the end the conversation -- which just makes my anger deeper and more impenetrable / inexpressable.
my question is twofold:
1) how do i deal with the anger while still expressing the depth of it (which is deeply important to me)?
OR
2) should i just be "getting over" it and trying to prevent little things from getting to me so much?

ugh... please help, i'm frustrated and drained and don't know what to do anymore. thanks.

When we are thinking to ourselves we think in words. This is inevitable once we learn a language. Is it possible to find a way of thinking that is pure, unobstructed by words or language and make practical use of it? Is this the way that infants think?

My boyfriend and I have suffered from trust issues. Basically me not fully trusting him. But not because of cheating, because of many occasions where he lied for little or no reason. He thought I'd flip at things I would of rather heard the truth about. After the first few times I caught him lying, we got over it because the reasons were petty. But then I would suspect larger things being a lie, so i would investigate and find out they were. We had a talk and decided he would stop lying and I would stop snooping, so that the never ending circle would end. It worked for awhile. But in the back of my mind I've always realized how easy it was for him to lie straight to my face on so many occasions. I can NOT lie to him so that always boggled my mind. I decided to trust him with everything, so no following up on anything he tells me. But how will I ever know if he's stopped lying if I never follow up. I want to rebuild this trust both ways, what is the best way to do this?
