im pretty, smart, really outgoing, and all around a really nice, fun person. However, sometimes i fear that people will not like me. honestly, i dont know why because I am a nice person and treat others with kindness, respect, and really listen to what they have to say. I hate braggarts, and would never discuss this with anyone in person. Yes, in reality people rly do like me. I really love other people and relate to what they are going through, becuase i have been through A LOT myself. Yet, at times I fear that people will actually DISlike me and a ball of fear. I concoct this paranoia within my own mind, and i need help overcoming the obstacles my mind has created for me. At times I honestly believe that people will not like me, because i am a great person and have a lot gonig for me. This was actually the case with some seniors when i was only a FRESHMAN. It really took a toll on me and made me feel ashamed of being a greta person. PLZ help mee, i still feel shame at times,guilt

I think I am depressed, I am sad a lot now and very negative and I cry without meaning to. And it isn't just depression.. a lot of other things in my life are going bad as well. I am a member of the LDS church, and my dad is the bishop of it. I have a hard time communicating and understanding my dad. I would go to the bishop about a problem like this but since it is my dad I feel like I cannot. My mom cannot help me, she has tried before. I pray every morning and night and I attend a seminary everyday at my church. I don't understand why God isn't helping me.
How can I get help? I want to be happy again.

Do you have any ideas for a psychological experiment that you would like to perform?
Or is there a classic experiment that you would like to elaborate on or alter in some way or just redo an old one?
Can you think of a psychological experiment, original or old, that can be conducted here on Yahoo Answers?

I'm thinking mainly in the realm of social psychology, but any ideas would be welcome.

God couldn't just say "I forgive you"?

If we are sinners because he gave us free will, wasn't it his choice to give us free will and make us all sinners from time to time. Why do we need to be forgiven for what HE did to US?

...phenomena is this considered to be? A case of overcompensation? Or simply a cover?
Can you explain the mindset of a person like this?
Do you have any other examples of cases like the one I mentioned?

I just saw an article in my newspaper about a teen affiliated with the volunteer fire department who is being charged with arson. That is what piqued my interest and curiosity on this matter.

and would you actually use violence if you could? (I mean if you knew you were strong enough not to get beaten up?) I mean in everyday life, like when I am driving and have lit the flash to turn right, and then the smart*** behind me overpasses from the right, and he swears too!

I have been through a lot of things in my life. and always thought i was different in some way - for my brothers (who both have disorders; adhd and aspergers) it was the way they acted, but for me i felt angry and annoyed about being educated at home, i was the only one who questioned things, and the only one who was depressed about my lack of social life. at the age of 12 i started getting depressed or signs of depression, this was because of an event that happened as a child by my father. but also i started rebelling because i was tired of the abnormal 'big brother' setting that i was living in. it was hell, it was like being in a cage.
ive never got on with my mum, and she used to emotionally abuse me when i had depression trying to get me diagnosed as a schizo, an aspie and a number of things ive lost count. so what happened? i started believing it. and now i have no space to think for myself ive started looking towards having asperger's - or is it PTSD? im clueless.

for me to be pissed off at men as a whole?When it seems that all the men I have come across don't have respect for women.All the boyfriends I have ever had have ONLY wanted sex.They stayed around just long enough to hear me say no I am waiting for marraige then it seems they dissappeared off the face of the earth.I was beggining to think that I needed to give it up to have a boyfriend but then I wised up and said I don't NEED a guy.Anyway even my dad has made sexist comments like 1)women can't drive 2) HOE-tel (hotel) 3)he tells me not to go spreading my legs otherwise i will not be worth anything.How should i feel?I hate who i am.Growing up all i saw on tv was women being portrayed as "SEXY."I always felt confused.I didnt feel that i was a whole person.I felt like i was a walking sex toy.I didnt have an identity.So is it wrong that I am bitter towards men period and am just waiting for everyone i come across to say something sexist or only want sex so i can write another guy off?

I can't walk anywhere alone or i will be murderd or raped. yet i need a job to pay for everything, I dont have a car, but i can walk and catch trains and buses, I will be studying next year and my best option would be to get a job bar tending at night which makes the situation of being alone even worse. I come from a small town where there is no work and no transport to anywhere and not much study option...most people borne in that town stay in that town and become dole bludgers. i have been trying to get out for ages. And can finally go, everyone is trying to stop me as the city is so dangerous. and say it won't work. I just really want to have a life and go somewhere, im also not the person to stay in the same town all my life, I want to travel. I know i need to take risks...I already am taking a lot of risks with the money that took ages saving up cleaning up animal poo. Sometimes i just wish i wasn't so alone. I am scared im just more determined to get somewhere.

I was reading an article on wikipedia about how some people believe that the world we see around us exists only in our imagination, and that no one else around us really exists. Our mind alone (yours or mine, whosever point you are looking from) is the only concious one and anyone else you see is not really concious.

I hope someone out there can tell me the name of that theory. Pretty long and difficult word to spell but can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

To make a long story into a short one..I visited a guy friend whos moved to another country a few days ago..we had been chatting for a yr and I knew he liked me. He even said hurry up & come over. Actually we didnt really know each other before he moved. Anyhow, hit it off, kissed and a bit more but I'm not a fast mover, so even tho we had great passion I held off his advances. He was cool with it though asked me 'if not now then when?' I'm a shy type and need time before sex. He had invited me on a trip with another guy friend to leave the next day, roughing&sleeping in a car. The friend also invited me. But next day he txted me to say it wouldnt work with 3 travelling & said nothing else! I was upset but wished him a nice trip & said sure 3 is a bad number which IT IS!! Anyhow, saw him online yest. & said hi, we chatted friendly & i told him Id like to meet to talk when he got back but we got disconnected.Maybe he logged off?We have grt. chemistry.Is he only after sex?
