Psychology - October 2007

Social scientists and public one thought that late adulthood began at about age 55 or 60; many now put it at 65 or 70. Do your respondents agree?

I really began hating people and seeing how dark, disgusting, and greedy and inhumane people can get. Even though some may seem nice, I am sure they would be just as bad behind fitting rooms or in the bathroom doing bad things. I've heard the horror stories from cleaning ladies, or other associates.
I truly do hate people.

I used to be a good outgoing person, with a nice personality, now, I think how humanity is like a bunch of animals.
I'd love to be away like a hermit somewhere alone praying and undisturbed. Your thoughts?

A few days ago, my boyfriend and I got in a fight. He said that he hated me, and I started laughing. He then continued to call me a *****, and I laughed still. His anger turned into my amusement.

I also dread my "best friend." Whenever she's on the phone confessing her typical teen tragedies to me, I swear I could just stab myself in the foot. The only reason I participate in the conversation is that I want to be a Psychologist [Emotional/Social], and I think it makes for good practice.

So, in short I just don't really care about anyone. I'm also very bored with life as it is.

no one else wanted him so you had no CHOICE but to put him in a caring home. Now what can you say, when outsiders say.. to your face in the store...."You should take care of him"....and you just politely say.."I was UNABLE to."...WHY would nosy people say that?...i think it is mean...TELL ME WHAT ELSE I could say to them...(as if they would stay anyway)..it did NOT happen to them...geez! people!!!

I do not endorse this horrid treatment in any shape or form and found it very disturbing that a chinese man had been made to stand for 3 days and 3 nights, if he fell on the floor he would be sprayed non stop with cold water. I could not believe such torture existed in this day and age and extremely cruel.

I'm 47 & live with elderly parents. 7 yrs ago, I moved closer to my family. Since I've been around my family, I've become more & more disconnected. They are always negative towards me & basically treat my like the joke of the family.

In my work life, I'm just not connecting with anyone, I've lost friends over the past few years. Sometimes I say stuff meaning to be funny but nobody gets it.

I just feel like I can't do anything right and will always be a loser. I'm scared b/c when used to feel this way, after a day or two I would be back to normal. Now, there is no normalcy anymore and I just don't know where I'm going or what I'm doing with my life.

I can't say I'm depressed, just feeling lost.

My love for three years is a deep thinker. He also does not like to express his feelings to me. We have a difficulty communication and express the true feelings for each others. Well, he listens to me, but he does not want to show me how he feels.

What should I do?

Thank you very much..

I am at my wits end and want to quit. They twist and turn things to make me feel stupid and the next minute tell me how wonderful I am. I am quitting in January but until then am working 50 hour weeks to prepare them for trial. How do I not explode until then and what is the best way to quit? I might need one of them for a referral into law school or help one day. Do I let it go and just say I am quitting to go back to schoo? What they don't know is I am going to work from home and go. I don't feel it's their busines to know I will be working from home. Somehow I still feel some stupid loyalty to them. My job is enough for three assistants yet its just me always running around like a chicken with its head cut off. They spite me while talking to me with their smiles plastered on their face. Do you know what I mean?

So basically, if u want to know my story about this subject, keep reading..just recently realized i was not straight.. i kept denying myself this fact for years,hehe..fortunately now it all makes sense with the warnings, things i've heard, signs that Gods been trying to make me see(i was stubborn not to c it, ways i felt when i was a child, i was unconciously moving towards non-straightness) so u could pls be kind enough to just answer my question n don't try to convince me that this non-straightness thing is ok or its fine to be the way i've been before because it's been obvious why some people avoid me and seem uncomfortable around me and how it's worth getting my real life back cause life really could be funner,seriously..it shows in my classmates' straight lives n they laugh more, believe me when i say thanks so much to people who want to help me and make such a change for me with their answers, whether short or long, a small drop of water stirs an ocean ( can make a big difference

Doesn't it make you happy when you buy a can of pringles and none of them chips are broken?

Doesnt it make you angry when you're using a 5-subject spiral notebook and when you're writing on the backside of the paper you can't write good because of the spine of the notebook?

I want to know if this is normal or not.....

whenever i ride in the car with someone, I get so nervous that other people are going to switch lanes, not stop at stop signs, cut the driver off, etc. and end up hitting the car.

I feel really paranoid about it and it stresses me out so much!

please tell me if this is normal...if its not how can i fix it?

What has been happeneing in the last fifty years? the last 100? Have we expanded technologically beyond what we are capable of individually understanding and controlling??. Do we have too many choices in this life? Have we lost the way---our primal selves are creating the mood disorders as a way to combat the unnatural techno world we have created and perpetuate??

Think of this...I do know Socio-economically we have technology that the average family cannot purchase without encuring debt..... here in the US most of us can't afford the new gadgets being offered to us. Do we really need all this stuff? Time to simplify and then I feel we will be more free. Back to the basics folks. One computer one cell phone one camera. hmmm one flat screen...hmmm see it's hard.

All my pts have mood disorders. all my neighbors too. All I have to do really is engage them in a conversation ..and It comes to the surface. ah well. thanks for your observations. :)

I know it's a business, but when all else fails, and you really need care, support, and advice that seems genuine, you go to a psychiatrist or psychologist, short of being admitted, if that's how bad it gets, and yet when I went to visit these people, I've had to search for months to get the right one because they just weren't measuring up.

Most give you typical Psych101 babble that you could have picked up in a psychology course anyday, and they don't empathize in anyway. They just look at their clock, and tell you how many more minutes you have and that's that. It's disappointing and ridiculous.

Is this how it is, or are they just bad examples of doctors?

It's hard to even find a good regular doctor or a specialist.

So many seem to just be business oriented or have other agendas.

I'm sorry but it's disguisting. If you're going to USE people, and not care about them, it's blatantly obvious to those of us like me who are mature to see through it.

For shame.

Charles Shulz, the cartoonist of Peanuts, led a dark and miserable life and was always depressed. Like me, he had an ex name Joyce who used to *itch at me all the time and was portrayed as Lucy. His father told him he'd have a big head for some reason so that was Charlie Brown. It makes sense when you hear people that have the greatest talents are some of the most depressed. Does this story touch you in any way?
