Psychology - October 2007

I have a asked a similar question before. I'm asking again because I only got a few answers before.

There are some people that become obsessed and fixated on pointing out violations of rules (whether these be formal laws or just violations of social norms or ethical/moral laws), enforcing these rules, pointing out flaws, etc. They are often holier than thou, self righteous, tattlers that are constantly moralizing and putting value judgments on seemingly every action or object. They often have a black and white, all or nothing attitude in terms of what is right or wrong, good or bad. They constantly condemn people and are extremely uptight. It seems as if their whole existence is dedicated to being a self appointed judge of all people and things. They disapprove of just about everything and everyone and will often try to spread their disapproving attitude toward one person around to other people.

Based on this character sketch, can you tell me how someone becomes this way?

With a '' Dream Out Breath.''Am I right please. The unconnected Dreams are the extremes to get noticed by each individual '' the Body's stress '' or due to Control of Feelings building pressure inside.

This function of Body is so excellent with its Mind and Brain like Feeling !!!!. '' Any No'' please ?

I've been to a number of different therapists to help me with my depression. The funny thing is, I tell them all the same thing, and they all tell me something different.

How much of what psychyatrists see in a person is reflective of the psychyatrists themselves?

I always think of things and imagine. But somehow, I rarely find the time to write. I am not sure if I can keep a notebook and write anywhere and anytime I would like because of how busy I am. When I do have spare time, I would not be in the mood to write or the ideas have left my mind. I would like to know some tips if you could share some. Thank you. :D

it was punishment by other people unknown to you....they were controlling things so that didnt happen...so people stayed away from you and avoided you........were told not to interact with you.........all the beautifull girls you saw were given instructions to never get involved with you or communicate with you...
how would you deal with this if this was the case....if such a cruel thing befell you all your life?
would you feel extremely angry and want to find those responsible for influencing people to stay away from you and ostracize you?

im a 30 year old bpd sufferer, whos had a traumatic life, bullying and abuse....never formed any friends or relationships.....so i sometimes, in my low darkest moments, find myself thinking things like this

I'm quite seriously overweight, but I have recently started doing something about it.
I've altered my diet completely so now it's very healthy, I'm eating a lot less, and I'm getting exercise.
However, I want to start swimming again, and maybe going to water aerobics, but I have a problem there.
I'm embarassed to take my shirt off and go into a swimming pool full of thin people, as I'm ashamed of my blubbery body.
I know of course that it doesn't really matter, but that doesn't make it any easier.
How can I convince myself that it doesn't matter?

Now the nights are drawing in, I was feeling depressed the other day, so I called the Samaritans.

I was put through to a 'call centre' in Afghanistan.

I explained that I was feeling suicidal.

They got very excited at this news and wanted to know if I could drive a truck or fly an aeroplane....lol

So I met the girl of my dreams in class. Caught her looking at me and smiling at me, and I thought "holy ****, seriously" so over the next two weeks or so,I am shy, i get the nerve to talk to her. Nervous, I sound retarded, but I manage to make her smile. Four days later, nervous again, I talk to her and get her number. She gives me her number, and I called the next day.No answer. Called again a few days later, nothing. Now when I see her, she ignores me! it hurts so much, I want to die. I can't stop tjhinking of her. Why would she do that to me? Especially since she knows I am shy and nervous and stuff? this sucks. And I have been through the whole breakup thing a couple times, but this hurts more than anything i ever been through my whole life. I don't know what to do, I have to go to class 3 days a week with her, but i have been ditching classes to avoid seeing her ignore me. Why is she doing this to me? I wanna die so bad, but all I can do is type this..What can i do? Help me.

What things do people do that's considered sick besided serial killer or child/animal abuser/molester? My brother told me something about my nephew doing something sick & how my nephew ruined the whole family, & so I guessed it could've been child molestation or murder. He thought I had my mind in the gutter. What else could be considered sick besides murder, sex, etc. I thought those were the only 2 types of things that would consider you a sicko. I know I'm undeducated on a lot of things.

I'm a Psychology Major working on a theory of mine based on Intuition and Deja Vu. I have my own opinions and studies, but I'd like to get some other peoples' perspectives to help me narrow down my field of research. Any detailed personal accounts of intuition and deja vu would be most appreciated.

If anyone knows of sources that may be of help in my study or any previous studies in this branch of research, I would be most grateful.

Thank you for your time and willingness to help out.

It's hard to get the title correct for this question.

Ok so just say a person bends over backwards to help, encourage, support and show a person what they could be. Why is it that the person being helped can't see or refuses to see the big picture even after the original party makes it clear that they do it for other people?

I mean surely a person can see whats happening without it being spelled out for them can't they? And if they can why do they continue to ignore the problem?

Police and masked adults shoot at each other as hundreds crawl or run for shelter. You can try to hide in a book shop, risk assisting people shot down, run to a distant exit
risking being shot in the back, or have you another idea?

I don't really know why but I'm just not happy anymore. I recently moved to Chicago to go to college and I feel miserable. I have virtually two freinds since school started. I am naturally an introvert, artistic type of person. I have so much free time on my hands that I retreat into my imagination. Basically I'm like the guy on Science of Sleep. But I'm not having fun. I'm not happy with myself or my life and wonder if all I do is dream. And if those dreams of the future, career, relationships will ever be a reality. I desperately want to make a big change in the world. That is my number #1 goal in life. But my own self doubt, loneliness, unhappiness keeps me from doing it. I don't consider myself unattractive, I have lots of ambition and intelligence. Its just that I constantly doubt myself and have a difficult time interacting with the students at my school because they are all shallow, "lets get wasted every weekend" type of people. And I don't want to do that. Help!

I'm always "downing" myself. Whenever I write a paper or take an exam, I say to myself "I failed" or "I did horribly"....then I get the exam or paper back and I got an A. When I have to peer review other students' research papers I always think theirs are so much better than mine and I end up getting a better grade.

For instance, I just wrote a research paper and thought it was awful. I was embarrassed to turn it in. I ended up getting a 92% .The average class grade was 56%

I'm a senior in college with a 3.7 gpa and I wonder to myself how I did so well...or I think that my professors obviously don't know bad work when they see it.

I'm this way at work as well. I'm always doubting myself and think I'm incompetent. Where did this stem from? What can I do to change my self destructive thoughts?
