Psychology - October 2007

Where did the superstition originate?
Was it a presumption because of a certain something in peanuts?
What kind of peanut exactly was said to make people smarter?
Any other additional info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

i dont understand whats wrong with her. she thinks because i dont believe in catholicism that im pessimistic about everything. its true that im depressed. i have social anxiety she knows that, but she always acts as though i have no heart. its not helping. she does cre about me, but i cant take it anymore. im 18 and in college, the dorming is limited, but i dont know what to do. i HAVE to get away from her. shes making me more depressed. ughhhh!!! we watched the movie love story last night ( i was actually one of the people who WANTED to see it) and i didnt like it because i thought it was done poorly. it sucked. anyway, my mom said this morning, "well. what did you want to see bombs... " i mean really. just because i dont believe in the fairy tales that help her sleep better at night, im now some monster who likes movies about bombs. is she ******* stupid or what? anyway, my real question is did your mother treat you like this when you said you didnt believe in your religion anymore?

I've heard this stated a few times - what does it mean? And, what makes it charming?

I've noticed that lately I am quite an angry person. I've tried to 'analyze' myself and to find a possible cause or fault that would cause me to become angry. I can't find any reason, for the most part, things are quite good, no problems with work, finances, goals or ambitions. I'm generally a very laid back person, you know, the type that usually say something along the lines of 'things always turn out for the better' or 'give the problem some time and it may resolve itself as it should'... And it isn't just a subtle anger, it's like a quiet rage and I'm afraid I might snap and let it all spill out physically or otherwise. It worries me because I don't want to lose control and in the process cause harm to my wife or those around me that I love. Are there any tricks or methods I can use to not just suppress it but know how to get rid of the anger when i need to?

I had a really disturbing dream last night. A red-haired girl about my age was chasing me, dousing me in petrol then trying to set me alight, and eventually throwing little bombs at me. I had done something wrong and she really hated me now. I escaped unhurt and saw her glaring at me out of an upstairs window as I ran home. Then I dreampt that I woke up and told my mum and aunt about the dream... then I really did wake up.
What could this mean?

I met this girl in college months ago and she moved so we kept in contact by internet.we were never v close friends but still a nice friendship & some sort of attraction. Then three months ago I was in her area on business and we met up and got on great and no surprise I think with the excitement of it all we kissed and stayed the night, she didnt do it..she's a real lady. A few days later she contacted to suggest meet up. I waited a while then got back to her but she had already left for home so we chatted and she told me Im invited if ever i want to visit her ..thing is she's off to far away places and rarely there. Here's my problem, since that contact, she hasnt been online at all but I heard she has chatted with a mutual friend (not about us)! Looks like she has blocked my account. Why is she doing this? I feel really bad like I miss her..shes a very nice person.

get a life and stop looking for any opportunity to show your ignorance.

I speak not of our friends, per say...
But more so of the person who catches our eye from across a crowded room.
The one who instantly intrigues us with just one answer or one question here...

What does this say about us?
Are we these traits?
Do we want theses traits?

What do you think?

Psychics know all the numbers right? So why don't you ever hear of them winning the lottery?

If you look around, a lot of people are unhappy. Sometimes its with their jobs or where they are at in life or just their life in general. Why? Don't we make our lives what we want it to be? If we don't like something in our life, can't we change it? Is there a reason that people just don't change it and keep living life unhappy? I have been wondering this for a while.

My boyfriend recently quit drinking. He was a bad drinker and quit cold turkey. Since then he has acquired this new habit of tsking and sighing and ehing everytime something is not perfect. The dog walks around his feet, he moans, the salt isnt in the perfect place (not even his house mind you) he tsks. I dont sit and watch tv with him right away, sigh sigh sigh. My kids do something "he" doesnt like and its tsk. Mind you he will put the whole combination together too. Tsk, sigh, eh, tsk. The eh sounds like he is Rose from the Titanic only in pain. What is this? Is there a name for it besides being a whining rump? Is this some type of manipulation? It is driving me insane. He is old enough to express his feelings as he is well into his late 30's. Any insight?

Or will you have left something undone, something of importance to you and your ambitions? Do human beings ever realize how short their lives are before they see the end right in front of them?

I know that the same can be said for many women, but I'm going to assume that the reasons may be different.
Why do so men lazy, slobby, unintelligent, unattractive and crass men have such high standards for women? These beer-swilling, sweaty pigs with bulbous guts and bad breathe actually believe that women resembling Jessica Biel could be bothered with the likes of them, and have the nerve to judge these women. Come ON, man!! They're more worried about the bra size of the girl behind the counter than what their armpits smell like. And yes, it DOES seem to be much more prevailent among men.
