For example - if someone felt insecure, they may sleep in a fetal position, with hands by the face and chest. If they felt very proud they may sleep on their back with hands behind their head. Just thinking out loud. Any ideas?

Besides psychological therapy, is there any medications that can help suppresive the compulsivity that pulls a compulsive liar to lie? What would be the best treatment for someone who lies hopelessly and knows they have a problem?

I've been in search for books on Neuro-Lingustic Programming, but I have had a difficult time finding anything that reads any better than a crappy motivational seminar or a long-winded self-help volume.

Any suggestions?

I prefer books or journal articles that are up-to-date and at least somewhat academic in nature, drawing on actual studies, behavioral psychology, or any related field.

Thanks for your tips. :)

I'm not asking anyone to tell me how I look: I know already. So, please don't. What I'm asking is for face (character) readers. For instance, maybe it wouldn't be a classification you may ascribe to me at all, but perhaps a sensation. How would you feel? I know this is a strange question, cause no one is near me at all. This is just fun, for my own reference when approaching girls. Thank you.

I'll make some dummy answers:

Calm
Maternal
Giddy
Materialistic
Passionate
Intelligent
Charmed
Dominated/Submissive
Strengthened
Dorky
Playful
Rude
Defensive
Closed
Hopeful
Hopeless
Careful/Cautious/prudent
Jumpy
Tough/You feel like cussing a lot
Prideful
Powerful
Insecure...
Viril/Masculine (woman type)
Feminine...
Joyful

My mind is always going. It's always thinking about something, it never shuts down and its driving me nuts. It's keeping me from living the life I want to live. How can I train my brain to tune out all the little, unimportant thoughts that creep to my attention and only focus on me living out the life I was meant to live?

I have become so good at pretending that I'm this "cool" person that I have completely lost touch with my real self. When I moved to an entirely new school after 5th grade, I was friendly, talkative, care-free and even rambunctious. I was good old me. I was aware of the fact that a lot of people might not like me the way I was, but I didnt care. One day in 8th grade, a "cool" kid told me that I was kinda cool, but that I should comb my hair a different way. I tried it and the next day I was given so many compliments. I started wondering what else I could change about myself to make people even more nice to me. It took me years of trial and error to determine "cool" and now I think I got it down to a science..... so whats the problem? I KNOW IM NOT THIS PERSON AND I WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE LOVE UNTIL I ACCEPT MYSELF FOR THE GOOFY FUN AND SOMETIMES ANNOYING PERSON THAT I AM. I just want to be happy and no matter how hard I try, I cant just "be myself." I have simply whittled myself away.

when in reality people who get abortions because of rape or incest only make up 3 percent of the population of people who have abortions. Most people get it because it would inconvienence them or they are not financially ready. Should some responsibility be taken on the mothers part for not preventing it with birth control or condoms and if people are not ready to have a baby why are they so ready to lay down and have sex fully knowing that there could be a possibility of having a child? Please share your thoughts if i was a doctor i would say this

patient: um i want an abortion
Doc:do you know how babies are made?
Patient:yes
Doc did you know that when you have sex with somebody and they ejaculate in you you could get pregnant
yes
Doc:so now you want me to kill this baby basicaly cause you thought more about your sexual needs being met rather then the consequences of it huh
Patient: well i guess so
Doc: well in that case no i will not perform an abortion on you

For example, about once a week I just so happen to look at the clock at 4:21. It's been happening a lot, and when I ask people I know what they think, they just think it's funny. I know it's not just me I've seen other questions on here similar to this and I talked to my mom and she say she sees 7:13 all the time which is my b-day. I REALLY just want to know the scientific name for this. So I can look this up and try to figure this out.

Should a child as young as13 be allowed to take medication to stop the growth of breast or deepen their voice? Should they be allowed to dress as the oposite sex or should the parent forbid it till they are at least sixteen even though they are aware of the fact that their child feels stuck in the wrong body

Personally, I disagree.

What are your opinions on this?

People who haven't read the book think the worst of it.
It makes a lot of sense actually. It makes you aware of the positive ways we can use to respond to a situation -- instead of unconsciously being critical, judgmental, controlling or trying to 'teach' the spouse our way of doing things.

If u r being repeatedly sexually assualted like fondling, oral sex & even penetration sex while u r in sleep forcely by trusted family female members & if u go 2 any authority like child help line or anybody else, they want u 2 prove ur each & every statement by urself only. Specialy when u r disbelieved only coz u r a boy(late teen) & abusers r trusted family female members(like 'younger mom', sister etc.) who r incredibly violent as well! Even in case of injuries u r asked 2 prove that it is done by family members, when a 3rd party eye witness is absent & u do have a life threat from ur own family & d abusers r trying hard to keep an eye on ur every move & when u r scared enough that half of ur life has been fetched away, having nobody's support but don't wish to be anybody's entertainment center, ur friends in d same area have been threaten 2 leave u else 2 face extreme reactions, ur neighbours have been betrayed against u by ur family members that 'u r a bad boy', rowdy, vagrant, idle etc. 'deserve whatever is done with u', since ur family members on their own tell their sexual adventures. They even pretend 2 be physicially abused by u by showing false injuries 2 neighbours REPEATEDLY from a long time. So d neighbours r against u, taking ur abuse as their entertainment instead to help u in order 2 isolate ur any cry 4 help. Nowadays ur family members r telling ur neighbours that u r writing a suicideal note, their names included in order 2 blow up everybody against u. So d neighbours r planing 2 murder u or trying 2 file a fake police complaint that u have raped ur family members or something like that. If anybody outsider (child help line or anybody else) comes 2 rescue u, ur family members disbeliev u by simply telling u r mentally ill & they have done nothing wrong & d outsider believes them too & then starts asking u same stupid Q? repeatedly like "would ever any trusted family members do so?", " why u r being targeted?", "what they r doing with u?","how could it be possible?","why u want to stop it?"etc. Which makes no sense & u have no more explanation 4 it. So putting hidden tiny video cameras is d only option available. I live in Mumbai, India, if anybody of u, who r in power to help me 2 get 1, please contact me immediately. I shall be grateful to u OR does suicide is d only option available 4 me? Coz situation seems 2 be getting out of control.

Is human intuition a spiritual awakening? Is it a third-eye awakening? Or is it just your mind seeing past the data the eye sends to the brain? I just want to know for sure, even if there is no official answer. I want to know what you think.

I used to focus my life one the people in it. In time I have lost the people I care anything about. (i am 21) I have found that I am truly indifferent to death. I put myself in extremely dangerous situations and do not care. I have come extremely close to dieing more then once, and I do not care. I have no fear of death, only of injury and life. Do you think it is wrong to be indifferent to death? I am not suicidal, I just do not care about life.

I've always been somewhat co-depenent, and I'm not really
sure how to change or do things differently. I'm a lot better about doing for everyone else and not so great at taking care of myself. I grew up in a violent alcoholic home.
I'm trying to better myself - I'm a 45 year old man, widower, no kids.

I started using drugs when i was 15, used untill i was 23, quit for 3 years, then recently started experimenting again.
The 3 years i was clean were extremly lame with me sitting around not having anything to do, feeling like an extremly hugh loser.
I dont understand how some people are happy seemingly all the time naturaly.
when i am not on some type of drug, i am shy self conscious and worry all too much.
Was i just doomed to a shitty set of brain chemicals.
