Psychology - September 2007

ok, i'll just say my older sisters name is x. ok, so x is popular, smart, and pretty. she has lots of good friends and she encouraged me to do well in school. she tells me the things i can work on and she makes things possible for me. she is basically my hero cause when i'm next to her i feel so strong and happy. every1 tells me how lucky i am. she knows so much ppl. i guess i wanna be like her. but i hate being called x's sister. "you're x's sister!". "hi, x's sister!"...they sometimes don't even ask for my name. i'm so lost, help?

I am 16 and scared of sex.I've never been sexually abused or anything so I don't know why?
The thought of sex makes me sick,I have OCD and the thought of anyone touching me like that makes me think I'm dirty.
I also don't want children but condoms freak me out to!
What should I do?
I don't think I'll ever be able to have sex!

I guess I'm a pretty girl, but I'm so self-conscious that I never want to look anyone in the eye, especially good-looking people. I just feel so uncomfortable, and I get so nervous and it seems like my left eye is straying and it feels weird. How can I look people in the eye without being so nervous and edgy?

psychology says majical thinking is involved in mental illness and yet we teach our children to use their imaginations all the time . Certain relions believe that their faith is real. Anyone have any thoughts on this ?

I just asked for some feedback on helping a person close to me in regards to how to approach her on the subject. With the replies that I have been given, I wonder now, why it is entirely up to the person to help themselves...the help is needed in other areas. What areas would you consider to be helpful?

Ever since I was about 13, I have eaten specific foods with one purpose, and one purpose only : to smell my own flatulence.

For what it's worth, I find the flatulence of others repulsive beyond belief. However, I love mine to the point that I have skipped social outings with others just to stay at home alone and inhale my scents.

Is this a common condition?

Hi,

I've had a stammer since i was little & it got worse when i wasn't interacting as much with people, my speech isn't physical, it's mental. I can talk with friends/family, alone, read, in front of groups, on camera & in front of female's so i definitely know there's something not right in my head or maybe just my thinking.

Would it help if i spoke about how i feel? Family says i should but i can't see how talking about stuff will help me, i know it's the mental side that's causing it but it's a mix of that & confidence. Who should i be speaking too? My therapist said someone who deals with Cognitive behavior.

I've tried a £3,500 fluency device which didn't help at all, i've tried the cheaper version, to same effect & i'v tried a £400 course (The Starfish Project) which worked well & is very intesne but i couldn't keep it up as old habbits crept in.

Thanks in advance, appreciate & will read all comments.

I had a day today that gave me a flash back. Cry? I could have cried buckets. Instead of that I got on which the necessaries then treated myself to a cuppa and got onto here to cheer myself up.
It's not working well. Do you do this?

Okay,
I know this topic has been discussed plenty, but I want to make one clarification in hopes of more in-depth answers:

Dealing STRICTLY with the "sexual attraction" (NOT "sexual acts"), do you think pedophilia is genetic, acquired as a result of being abused, or a 'lifestyle choice'?

Obviously, it IS a choice to sexually abuse a child - but do people honestly "choose" to be attracted to children?

Note: I am in no way trying to justify child molestation, but I want your thoughts on pedophiles who don't abuse children. Once again, I'm talking ONLY about the attraction, NOT sexual acts with children.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it is absurd for pedophiles who don't abuse children to want to gain acceptance? Should more effort be put into "curing" the sexual attraction, rather than condemning it?

PS: Intelligent answers only please...obviously sex with children is sick ...but that is outside the realm of this question.

Why do people say "Oh don't get angry" then they say "Oh you can get angry just don't act on it."

Well which is which? Can you get mad without showing that emotion or without acting on it?

Explain.
