Psychology - August 2007

Sorry for anyone whos read my same question-. I just need more advice.

I dated a kid years ago.. hes alway been the "one that got away" and that i never quite got over. Im to the point now where I still think about him (more then i should) but i know that we dont belong together.

I currently am head over heels in love with my boyfriend. I hope to get engaged soon.. and i love him to death and would leave him for no one.

But why do i still think of my ex? Does it ever really truly go away? The simple answer would be people saying "you dont really love your current if you still have feellings for your ex"- but i dont think thats true. I am deeply in love with my current.. but i would still get upset if i found out my ex had a girlfriend.

I think i should cut off contact with my ex completely (we talk online sometimes) since i do feel this way. I obviously cant handle being "friends" right? Do you agree? Should i tell him why? Has anyone experienced this?

I'm trying to understand what makes your knees shake, your brain to malfunction, and your mouth say stupid things.

So.. I know that this is vague, and also cliche.. but I'm just curious what everyone thinks it is. It could be from a personal point of view, or a more widespread theory. Whatever you think.

I've heard that there are hypnotist shows where people act in funny ways. Anyone willing to share their experience? Would you do it again?

I have been reading a Michael Crichton book and it got me thinking about the nature of fear.

How many basic fears have pyschologists identified?

My own belief is there are 3 basic human fears that goven all aspects of human nature - fear of physical harm (death, pain and disability); fear of rejection by others; fear of rejection by ourself

So a secondary fear can be anything like fear of snakes, fear of terrorism, of failure, of unpopularity - all these fears related to the underlying primary fear and varying depending on the personality of the individual. You can even have a tertiary fear .e.g. tertiary (fear of growing old) ----> secondary (fear of being unattractive) ----> primary (fear of rejection)

I think politicians, religions and corporations can tap into these fears to control public thinking. Religion seems particularly effective at addressing all three primary fears. e..g 1) Afterlife 2) Spiritual community 3) Spiritual protection

I've had it nearly three years now. I've found my ways of covering it, I'm just sick of being self-conscience any time I want to go swimming or if there's a breeze outside (I'm a scalp puller) but, my mother used to be a cosmotologist. I don't know how to explain this terrible habit without sounding like an absolute nutcase, AND i'm not sure if she'd really even understand. How can I maybe tell her about my problem and ask for her help? :/
