Psychology - August 2007

What's a normal sex life while in your early twenties? I'm in a relationship with a guy, and I have no idea what a normal relationship is or a normal/healthy sex life is. I would really like some input. Sometimes I feel like our relationship is crappy and that it lacks (I can't pinput where, but it just isn't that much of a fulfilling relationship to me) somewhere. We seem to connect more sexually then anything. Don't get me wrong though, my boyfriend is extremely nice, respectful, and caring, it's just that I don't think our relationship is going to last long. We have a lot of sex, which is great and all, but I feel like I want more..? Help Please, I'm confused. What should I want? What's a normal relationship at 22yrsold? A lot of the time I feel like I want to get married, not to my current b/f, but I want to settle down soon. And I'm just fighting the urge because I haven't found someone who I TRULY connect with yet. Thanks for any input.

I think it is. I also think it's a "control" issue, but also a rather shallow narcisstic issue as well.

Everytime I have some sort of "bad'' dream, where someone or something is chasing me, I always feel like I'm being pulled back --held on strings or almost paralyzed. At most I can only walk very quickly. Has anyone else ever experienced this? What's the deal?

Speaking from experience, I think it is a struggle. What do you think?

I have been watching a series of interviews on psychology and neuroscience which are extraordinary and I am wondering how one gets into the field of not private practice psychology, but researching connections between the brain and human behavior, cognition, etc. What kind of degrees are necessary, and would the fact that I myself have general anxiety issues/hypochondria hinder my process in this field?

Ok. Here's a summary of how I got this huge hole. When I was little I watched my adopted brother beat and try to stab my mom way too many times. My adopted sister was a runaway. I was the only of the 3 actually born to my parents. Eventually they kicked my bro out cuz he refused to take his meds. My sis eventually just moved out and lived w/ boyfriends cuz she was sick of being at home (our bro raped her a lot). Then my mom died 5 yrs ago. 2 yrs ago (my sis was 7 months pregnant) my sis was killed in a car accident. My dad is an emotionless robot since my mom died. I have no one. I love my friends, but they can't fill the hole I have. I'm a food addict and already know I will be a sex addict as soon as I lose my virginity. I'm 15. Also I'm overweight and not the prettiest thing in the world so no guys want me to top it all off. How do I fill this hole I have and just...make it all stop?

If female were not come into being, then what would be situation? Usually we see that most of the problems i.e, jealousy and other social wars develope because of a WOMAN AND GIRL
Although a woman is respectable and have a good status in a society.

What would happened if WOMAN is not being created?

Sometimes I feel so disconnected from myself and I forget where I was headed and what I was doing sometimes. When the seasons change its like I become someone else. I dont get it I just want to be connected to be but for some reason I just can do it. What can a girl do?

I sincerely hold the belief that I am at the centre of the universe and that everything around me - people, places, planets, sensations, oceans, galaxies, activities, smells, sound, love, hate - is all revolving around me as the central focal point.

I have believed this all of my life but recently doubt has found a path into my soul and I have been wondering if this is not true and maybe I am suffering from delusions of grandeur or narcicissism.

Anyone else feel like this?

For the hoi polloi (the rest of us) the response to this question is too erudite; The first usage of "Ivy" in reference to a group of colleges is from a sports-writer in 1933. Several sports-writers and other journalists of the era used it to refer to the older colleges, those along the northeastern seaboard of the United States, chiefly the nine institutions with origins dating from the colonial era, together with the United States Military Academy (West Point), the United States Naval Academy, and a few others. These schools were known for their long-standing traditions in intercollegiate athletics, often being the first schools to participate in such activities. (from Wikipedia) but balancing desk-time with team sports is something can all do yes?

She thinks it´s so cool and funny that she´s the worst student and never gets an answer right. The other day she came to class all excited because she was arrested over the weekend (for drinking). I´ve tried everything I could think of: talk, ignore, etc. Any suggestions?

I am very familiar with the school psychologist but not too familiar with I/O psychology.

To be a sad humourless person with no life who sits giving thumbs down or pressing the abuse button in an attempt to feel powerful and worthwhile whilst taking time out to tell people they are wrong but refusing to say why.

Dont know why they even take the time to bother reading when they know their answers are just gonna be iggied anyway!

with your sort of problems (cos she had a bad childhood sexually abused) then she said to me the reason you react to things like you do is because of your childhood the hurt you have been through, she said this in front of a group of people and I felt so different and embrassed she said she has had a good childhood, i would never say that to someone in front of a group, what is her problem

I don't know how many times I've said this to myself but I really want to turn over a new leaf.

And by turning over a new leaf I mean - Have the body I've always wanted (MUSCLES!), achieving good exam results and not just scraping through luckily, be able to play an instrument, start a sport/hobby (I'm thinking of Yoga) and have a relationship with a girl that lasts longer than 3 months.

So how do I do this? What can I do to motivate myself? My mum says that I should try hypno-therapy but I don't know.. Isn't that just a huge big scam?

Also about playing an instrument, I'm thinking of playing the saxaphone but I have asthma (well its really mild!) so my breathing isn't the best of breaths. I tried playing guitar but I gave up after a month or so because my teacher gave me a 10 minute lesson while he'd give someone else a 30 minute lesson. I don't believe in learning myself because then you pick up bad habits!

Any other instruments that I can try?

Thank you.

i don't feen for it but sometimes(rarely) i miss it. yet i almost forget how good it feels. i want to be there again when i listen to techno music. i never was gone to the point where i'm unconscious.. i'm always conscious when i took it and i haven't really had a come down at all. the worst is feeling blank..
my personality and opinion has stayed almost the same but i feel different towards a lota stuff. i still feel like myself but feel emotionless and careless sometimes. i used to be those people who cared for every little thing was an alcoholic. was very pessimestic and now i really feel like just whatevers. although i still do care a lot for certain stuff. oh yeah and i'm not an alcoholic like i used to be anymore.

I WISH I could so bad, it would be so comforting to me to think I wont be gone forever or that I can see my family and friends again after they are gone, but I just can't it just seems so unrealistic to me. I would love to feel that security and not fear death but I cannot pretend to believe in it nor can I be convinced. Do any of you feel this way?

I am an attractive woman working in a professional environment..but I find sometimes, when I have a meeting with a male clients & colleagues, they sometimes ignore me. I am well-spoken and contribute to the meeting in an intelligent way so I don't understand. Example - I ask the client a question myself and then he turns round and answers my male colleague! It was me who asked the question…why not look at me and answer to me! Why is this?

Ok so I'm the quiet type and I always show the happy quiet attitude when I'm among others. I only show my real self to my family and my closest friends (Which arn't that many). I always think to my self how some people can talk so socialy as if it comes to them so naturally.

The thing is though I'm hoping to do a job that involves talking to people a lot and I'm currently doing my studies accordingly.

I am so depressed when I think about whether I can get to my dream job by being the quiet person I am, when the job involves talking alot.

SO where should I start changing, how and what should I change?

PS No therapy or medication pls because I've tried them and no it didnt work so suggest some thing else

Thanks

was waiting for a friend. an old highschool-classmate came up to me & we got on the bus together (i didn't realize it until it was too late). a policeman fined me for travelling without a ticket. weirdly enough he let me get off at the bus stop close to my house. i checked for the fine, but i had this huge bag full of clothes, so i decided to go home& check there. i wanted to cross the street but a car was coming. at the same time a neighbour of mine which i hadn't seen for a long time was crossing the street, so i crossed with her, almost getting hit by the car. then a puppy barked at her, but when i came close he was pouting& crying. when i got home i saw the fine was in the name of someone else & there were lots of other fining-tickets there(my mom wouldn't believe me). i read the name out loud& 3 ppl were blocking my door. a short mean-looking man appeared and tried to steal my food. his eyes got terrofying (diabolic) when i said "God bless you". i started praying& i woke up scared
