Looking at porn has caused me to sometimes inappropriately catch myself looking at women too long where i tend to stare and get caught. I don't like the fact that i started doing this and its led me to avoid talking to women because i feel bad that i do this to them. How can i stop this behavior ?

What are the signs that you are feeling sorry for yourself or pity yourself? And what are the signs that someone is feeling sorry/pity for themselves?

A short extra entry to question no doubt most answers will came across get the hell out of there, We have seperated a number of times before and we always get back together because I see her as a person with a moderate to heavy level of Depression and Anxierty that for some reason makes me feel like i should be doing more to help her but this is of course futile,
Should I be asking my self (seriously) what is in me that feels the need to attempt to change or move the stagnate my meaning being I know i will never change her and i know the saying "God give me the strength to identify the things i can"t change and the wisdom etc"
This is really damaging my life as i know this is having a detremental effect on my emotional well being i feel as a strong minded male that what i am living if it where some other male i would think that he lacked fibre and was a bit of a joke,
Not that I don"t feel empathy toward others it"s just not a manly thing to do from my up bringing..

Before someone starts to worry, or look for a punch line: My sister had colon cancer. Fortunately, it was easily handled with minor surgery, and now shows to be completely clear. I saw the original scope images, and never even considered anything worse than that. OK then, when she told me all I could think was possible medical and surgical scenarios. I know that what I told her, including descriptions of the most common procedures, calmed her by taking the fear of the unknown away. However, I felt no more emotional attachment than I did for the patients I worked on in surgery in the past. Now that I know that she's doing well, it is really bothering me that I stayed so calm, even when alone. I feel like the normal response would be to get upset, angry... something. Any thoughts?

A theory in physics says that in another dimension you are always the exact opposite of what you are in this one. That means that in one dimension you may be all the things you wish you were but in another you could be a complete wreck. If given the opportunity would chance making the leap?

im sure this happens to most of us, if not to all of us. indeed this has already been asked by someone. im gonna post this again anyway.

i know im a person who excel in many things. no im not assuming here, nor being boastful. i have had a lot of achievemtns. But i wasnt alwasy satisfied with the recognition that i receive in those that i excel in.

my friends, classmates, professors, relatives know that i do excel in many aspects. and they know, and they tell that to me sometimes, that i am better than many other persons. my problem is that i sometimes feel that i wast good enough. coz i think that i have not been the best in anything. i was always the second best.

do i expect too much for myself? am i not being secure in the things that i excel in?

I do my best but I am getting nowhere. I used to be thin. I would finish whatever I set my mind to do. I was happy and confident. Now since I have met my soon to be ex-husband, my "luck" has changed. I am sad all the time. I can't do anything right. I have no get up and go. I don't even have the energy to do anything. I know it sounds like depression but I really mean that bad things have been happening. My ex is attacking and I am struggling to survive day to day in every aspect. It just seems like nothing will ever get better and I am stuck in a mess for good. I am not just feeling sorry for myself. People that meet me laugh about the bad luck I have just in day to day things. What is going on?

I've recently been under a lot of stress caused by a combination of extreme external and internal pressures. The external is nothing i can change on my own. I have no control over the stupidity of certain circumstances,or of certain individuals that i have to have dealings with. But i know that changing my outlook or the inward thoughts/attitudes when dealing with some nonsense would help decrease the amount of stress i am feeling. this is anxiety correct? I've tried a number of things...... but nothing's worked.
Other than medication, can you suggest ways to de-stress that would releive some of the prevalent anxiety i am dealing with?
i would see medication as a last resort, i'd prefer other alternatives. what are natrual ways to deal with unnecessary stess and strife stemming from the actions of other people that i've no control over, and thats causing a high (unhealthy) level of anxiety? so i dont go totally bonkers please?

Do you think that younger people (say 12-25) almost instinctively expect attention, interest or notice from most if not all older people (say 35-55) (even if from complete strangers)?

If you do, then do you think this expectation derives from western culture's huge emphasis on instilling self-esteem into kids at any cost as they grow up?

Finally, if you agree with the above, then as older person OR younger person, do you find the assumption of interest and attention a little bit annoying?

For the past year, I have felt very depressed. Low self-confidence, not wanting to get out of bed, losing interest in things I used to love, losing relationships with friends, constant sadness/anger, irritability, etc. I have tried to clue my mom in that I am depressed, even tried kidding around, but I don't know how to flat out say it. I would like to visit a doctor and possibly be treated, but I am too embarrassed.

I'd like to note that 3 people in my immediate family (out of 5) have been diagnosed with depression.
I am 15.

I saw this lady on tv who was convicted of rape but was atrracted. NOT because she raped because i was young and saw it through my view. Not from her point of view but mine. I did not like what she did. its not even possible for me too. It repulses me. When young i diddnt think how sick she was and how wrong she was. I was just thinking about my own fantasy about older women. I feel scared. I cannot believe i didnt see how messed up this person was. I diddnt even know. Does this make me a wrong person? Im really upset over this. I have really bad OCD and cant get it out of my head. I did not like what she did. That wasnt my intention. I saw it my own view when i was younger and wasnt mature enoguh to see how sick she was and see it her way. Someone please help.
