Hi..

Could anyone please tell me why we as adults blame ourselves for abuse that happened so many years ago in our childhood... Why do we blame ourselves yet if we put ourselves in other peoples positions, we wouldn't blame them at all... We can like think of a little child and would we blame them?? No... Sooo why,, i just don't understand.

Also, i'm doing some work and was looking at different reasons why children blame themselves for the abuse.
If you could help i would appreciate it so much.

Thank you .

3. what is s theory or body of knowledge that portrays itself as a science but is not based on empirical observation is inconsistent with broader scientific theory?

I get angry when ever in the presence of a ginger... If I ever see them from afar I always find myself yelling insults at them. Whenever I'm within reach of a ginger I become very aggressive and physical with them and often attack them against my own will. I've already injured many gingers by accident. After the fact I always regret my actions, but when a new day dawns my thirst to injure a ginger renews. I just can't control my hate for them until I hurt one. How can I control my anger?? What should I do??? Help

At this stage in your study of psychology, are you more interested in the
practitioner or science/research aspect of psychology? Why?

How do you know if a guy really likes you?
I'm seeing this guy 4.. 3 wks now. He calls me, plays pool online almost everynight and says really nice things about me all the time. We have sex and go out. I need to know if I'm too spolied in realationships. In the past, I have had men I was dating to get out of bed at 2am 4 am and get me medicine for stomach cramps, bring/send me flowers all the time for reasons and no reasons at all. I have deal with chronic pain and am use to massages 2 times a day. If I need an item or something that I couldn't afford. I'm use to guys that I have dated getting or helping me get it. This guy that I'm seeing now doesn't do any of that. I feel that he doesn't really like me. Maybe just uses me for sex and company. I feel this way b/c he doesn't offer to bring me meds or give massages send me flowers all the time.He's Indian and I'm american. How do I know? Am I wrong to expect such kind and out of the way gestures from a man to feel loved and wanted?

Some things that I see on tv or hear about makes me cringe. Many times I have had people to use my kindness and have really hurt me. My grandma would always say, "you reap what you sow", but I wonder sometimes.

It a phrase i hear alot, whether recently in refence to the late eddie griffin, to celeb rehab types of the lohan's of the world or even towards myself regarding mental treatment. But i began to think, what does helping oneself actually mean, or rather what does it mean when someone suggests it.

Do we have our own concept of what help is, are we sugesting the one not getting doesn't .. or doesn't want it .. or only wants it if it's our own concept of help. Not belittling those trying to help others on this (get that's how it sounds), it's just a thought i'm wondering since i'm uncertain as to extent for which we actually know what help is.

I probably need to explain this better so any ideas would be great, thanks.

Hello

I am usually a very sensitive person, so much so that I would not leave a baby crying or allow someone to do anything that could be even slightly harmful, automatically.

But I have a problem with my heart, and I will be dead soon.
I know that all my family and friends will be gone and yet for some reason I feel no emotion and have not cried once, not even in the 5 years I know this illness is killing me. It is uncurable.
I do however feel guilt if I think about it.

I do not want to react in horror and sadness, but I do not want the guilt of knowing I am not either?

Why am I reacting like this?

Don't have any friends and never had a girlfriend. Even when I meet people, all I can ever make of them is an acquaintence. No one invites me out.

Am a short guy 5'4 in my late twenties. Girls have liked me, but haven't gone out with me since I'm too short and skinny.

My life is pretty pointless. I have lost all motivation.

If I being punished for something I can't help, what's the point of this life?

Think about biological factors that might be associated
with criminal behavior. Do you agree that criminal behavior can be biological, or
even genetic?

I have to write a four chapter short story type thing, 'childhood, pre-teens, mid-teens, now' kind of thing. There are lots of things I am just too afraid to talk about YET. I know I will eventually have to, but this will only be my second session! I'm just not ready to reveal EVERYTHING. This 'thing' in my past I don't want to bring up, is basically what has defined me completely. It's what's causing ALL of the crap in my life.

I want to know, should I mention in my story that there are things I am not yet comfortable discussing, or should I just omit it? I'm worried he's going to be very curious to know what I'm hiding. I'm afraid he's going to push me to tell him and open up. Use psychologist mind games! lol What do I do?

Like when you die does it hurt to be a spirit, or to not be breathing anymore just lying in a coffin 6 ft under ? Can you feel pain or is it like nothing? What do you see when you are dead and how does it feel to be invisible? My little boy asked me that question and I didn't know what to say to him, so what do you think the answer is so I dont say the wrong thing to him?

Whenever I read a book or watch a show with my favorite characters if something bad happens; I can't just shrug it off. I feel really bad afterwards. In Return of the Joker, when Robin was tortured by the Joker; I cried. In the middle of a good book I become really angry at the characters when they make a stupid decison, and or I can't fell really happy when they've accomplished something. What is it about characters and authors, that can touch human emotionals and the soul so deep? Why do we all fell, sometimes, like these fictional characters are part of us?

Ive been called a troll for asking a stupid question. What is a troll? I did not intend to harm anyones eyes with my light hearted jokes. A lot of times I get on this site because of questions I'd rather ask confidentially that are legitimate, and those of you who do not like my questions, please, please do spend your own time responding to them so that I may know how you feel.

The person in question, only 30-years-old, considers himself vastly inferior to younger generations. I don't see any truth to his claims but he's getting insecure everyday.
