Psychology - September 2007

Doing some research on the new "computer addicts". Somewhat like couch potatoes hooked on tv.Is this an addiction? People on this site for lets say, on avg. 2 months, and have answered over 600 questions.What is the point?Does it make them feel better or in control of a situation? Maybe they have no control over there own life.Yes, I am asking...haha

Guys, I've lost my virginity today, but sex didn't really appealed to me.

I just got bored to it in 2 minutes and pretended I was penetrating a chopped-up underaged girl 'til orgasm. The woman (yes, a prostitute) noticed it and asked if I wasn't feeling horny. No.

I think it has to do with my masturbatory habits. I never ever masturbated a whole session to normal heterosexual intercourse (also, I'm at least mostly heterosexual). Like in my "sexperience", I just get bored with it in question of minutes and change to guro (fantasy + necrophilia) or exhibitionism.

According to a website, I have to change my masturbatory habits to be aroused to normal stuff, but how?

How do I masturbate to non-fetish stuff? I mean, it's all the same... penis in, penis out... Doesn't this gets you bored? Don't you "run out" of subject? In exhibitionism, for example, the girl and I can have lots of fear, anxiety, things can happen and I can "control" these to make an arousing story.

Please help :'(

Okay, I have refused to go to school for a little while, because of the people there who bullied me.
I had a meeting with my head of year tonight, with my mum, and I have 2 options -
I can choose to go to a new school. But the one I want to go to is full, and I would need to appeal, which means I'll be out of school for at least a month, and there is no gurantee they'll accept me, it depends how sympaphetic they are.
I can have a fresh start, meet new people, not f*ck like I did in my present school.

Or, I can be slowly rehabilitated into school. As in, I can do half days, or just a couple of lessons. Then eventually whole days.
They'll arrange places where I can go with my few friends, and no one else.
I'll have the chance to move teaching groups.
but that won't stop people hating me.


I have no idea what to do. I have untill tomorrow to decide.
Please, give me your opinions.

Add some people will say stuff like your tone is unpleasent.
it hurts because i do not see me being rude to anyone minus a day here and there do to lack of control but I normal come of nice so i thought
but i had a few people approach me saying i have a rude undertone. If i don't see this and they don't give me an example how can i fix it?
so mainly how do i doulbe check my tone when i think about it i think i come of sounding condesending and i dont want that either!
how can i balance this out!

I am very easily bored, and don't know what to do when I've got free time and just hate being alone....I am not a only child, but I did play on my own sometimes when I was little with no problems, maybe I need challenges??? I don't like to repeat things, especially seeing places, if I've been to a city, museum or whichever place one time, I find it boring to be there for a second time...and to be honest, I just find most things in life quite boring....is there anything wrong with me and will I change when I become older???

ok i smoked weed now about 2 months ago, and i hate to keep bringing it up, but its been 2 months and people tell me its out of my system, but i feel the same way in the head(minor) as i did when i was high, i didnt enjoy it one bit. It made me feel horrible like i was like thinking i signed a death conctact or something and kept thinking, "damn i shouldn't of done that" and felt like my mind was dead. and my heart was gonna stop. and that i was going to hell for smoking weed, well now. 2 months later after me and my girlfriend got into some arguements here and there, and went through a break up stage, i think that triggered it again, i cant get over this. I dont know what it is that makes my head go crazy, but i keep thinking that i died and went to hell, and im in hell now and its a mind hell. like people are there, but they really aren't, and this is all a setup, i cant relax cuz i keep thinking im not here. And feel abnormal, like numb inside. Can anyone suggest what is wrong?

quite an odd question but i have always wondered about this. does it say something about your personality if you sit with your legs apart than closed together?

I cant help but feel depressed everyday. I have no money for education and I have no idea what im interested in. I like music and computers but cant afford school for those fields. I know I dont want to do retail, telemarketing, waiting tables. Those depress me even more when thinking about it. The pay won'ty even let you live on your own and support yourself. Especially on LI. Other than those positions, I cant find any other types of jobs around here. I feel alone in this and need a way to escape this everyday torture. Does anyone know of any good jobs on long island that pay well.

When you think about it, getting drunk is very much a visual experience... I wonder how it effects someone that is blind. It would probably be really scary and not fun at all. What are your thoughts?

in the context that unless they themselves have experienced it (or someone they have regular contact with), they dont understand it.

example: drugs. some people do it until their best mate dies of overdose.

others dont do it at all.

is this a psychologic problem or am i in the wrong section.

A very close relative of mine started to act extremely abusive the last few years, she curses a lot more than she used to, she insults her daughter very much and for no real reason, she is stressed and looks for solutions for problems that ... other people have. She is very concerned on the problems of her close ones, that she is stressing them very much, always find silly solutions, she is trying to force them or blackmail them into doing what she thinks is right (though all those problems should not affect her in any way at all). She gets mad out of the blue, one time when we were on the phone she started to get angry while she was telling me someting, she was just talking, i was listening and she would get more and more angry.

She is 61 years old, divorced and suffered from cancer 10 years ago (she is now healed). I had to mention because she had a hard life, so maybe all the stress she had leaded to this.

Does anybody know what her behaviour means? What could help her?
