Psychology - October 2007

fire hydrant! Five hours later, you wake up in a hospital room and a nurse is standing by your bedside, and she tells you that she was not able to contact any of your family because you happened to not have any I.D. on you at the time of your unfortunate accident. All she could find was a journal in the bag you were carrying, but did not want to infringe on your privacy by reading it.

Here's the thing: YOU HAVE AMNESIA! You have no memory of your life up to now, and you are very confused about what you should do next.

You take the time to read your journal and it contains enough information for you to piece together who you are and what kind of life you've lived. This includes who your family, kids, spouse are, and your occupation, religion, spiritual beliefs, and your happiness with your life thus far. Now you have a choice to make...

What would you do? Would you go back to your life or start a new one? If you'd start a new life, how so?

I had my IQ test today , then turned out to be having fees ... !

so I ignored it, then they suddenly e-mailed me with a "free result thing" , it turned out to be 107 ... 38 questions , 30 minutes , 20 seconds for each question or get penalty ...

now , knowing that english is not my mother tongue , and I didn't actually understand 3 questions ... -I guessed them-
is this particularly Low ..?
does this mean I am a dumb slow thinking mammal .. ?

Lol I know I can calculate faster than others, but I kinda mess up with judging situations and thinking up ahead... ^ ^

p.s. calculating for me is not + and - , its multiply and divison with fractional and real numbers ,
I am not showing off , but I am proud all that stupid multiplication tables I did when I was still a child came with a result ... = P

Cheers

I can't even explain the frustration of being smart. I don't like how my brain is able to comprehend and soak up information like a sponge. I don't understand how I can remember every single thing I have ever learned and never forget, while most people have the opposite problem. Intellectually I have never been challenged in any area of my life. Its frustrating, everything in life is so boring, so mundane. In college I expected to find people like myself, with extreme intelligence. And I haven't. People notice when you're a freshman taking senior level courses and your doing better than everyone in the course (especially if the professor announces it), the attention is awful and I feel that everyone secretly despises me, but I'm not going to lower my grades just to ruin my future. I don't like how I hear people whispering about me, pointing at me saying, "look there's that smart girl".

I've never had a long term relationship b/c I don't really bealive that two people could stay together more than two or three months, and, to be honest I don't want to get involved.
Now, the point is that all my friends, and especially my family are always critisizing me because of that. Sometimes they become so enoying.
I know that a real relationship might be so ok, but who can ensure me that he'll never cheat on me or ever deceive me?
And, moreover, many men that I've met are so interested in how i look that i wonder whether they ever appreciate me for the way i am not for the image they've created into their minds?

I've taken a couple of silly online tests that ask if you like coffee. It probably doesn't mean anything but some people say there's some psychology behind those silly tests. So why are your feelings for coffee and sex supposed to be the same?


For the record I used to hate coffee before I tried some flavored kind, lol.

Is it a normal reaction to cry when yous see a video of your life starting when you were a baby? I wanted to take back those years, to re-do all the old wrongs. I cried. I could not help it. Seeing myself grow up before my eyes. I am young, but I only imagine this feeling gets worse as time goes by.

My new boyfriend and I have had sex twice, but I could never really enjoy myself because I wasn't aroused enough.

This guy is fantastic at pleasing a woman by the way.

The problem is that I get anxiety that I won't get wet, or won't feel horny... and even after a lot of foreplay, the anxiety itself kills my arousal.

I'm sure this makes sex less enjoyable for him too...

How can I stop this?

I try to 'relax' and 'not think about it'... but I can't!

Help me please, I'm 18.

It seems that some show no pain and/or don't care about others.

For a great song video about this topic, please see
R.E.M. - "Everybody Hurts"
Great song but tons better with the video. Helped me to realize we all hurt, but we show it and feel it differently.

well answer the question do not avoid..

i mean having reason ..you know..being able to judge ,...to see that in front of you it is a beautiful man ..not an ugly man..to see that in front of you there is a woman not a man..

to learn..to dress to speak beautifully to others..

to be able to judge i mean to consider the poor the equal of the rich as the law does..and God ..does..

and to give righteousness..
to see when you are love or you are not loved..

to know to be able to buy clothes and to be able to say what you want..
to have ideas that are understood by the others and are aprooved by a majority

etc..

to know to cover your body when you have guests ..
to understand what is life..

those are reason.

so is reason a miracle of God..or not?

i expect you to say yess..

because God was the first who had reason and only through the existence of God the reason is possible/.

As we all know, there are all sorts of experts with various levels of expertise. However, at what point can a person be considered an expert at a particular subject? After all, it IS possible to know a great deal about a particular subject without being considered an expert.

My friend has terminal renal cancer and he's tired of fighting for his life. He is emotionally and physically exhausted...and he says he is ready to die. He recently posted a question which I could not answer... I'm hoping someone else can... He wants an answer about why he should keep fighting....what is the "benefit of going through hell to stay here a few extra months and it is intelligent and based on fact, history, statistics or science not fear and emotion."
