It's been a while since he left me all alone... Just the thought of it makes me break down and cry, especially when I reminisce about our memories together.

I know I shouldn't dwell on the past, move on, distract myself, and concentrate on my studies since I'm too young, etc. ...

But I JUST CAN'T. It's as difficult as having to gain the trust of a friend after hurting her feelings, just because you were blinded by the fact that you're breaking her heart and turning into a heartless b*tch. (but that's another story)

I'm already flunking my subjects (even the ones that I'm usually good at) just because when I try to concentrate, suddenly I'm attacked by the ghost of my past, then I start to lose focus. I can't even find serenity in my life anymore.

I know my mom has her own problems and I don't want to add to it, but I need her so bad since she's the closest one I've got whom I know has been through things like these.

I let another adult mock, harass and ridicule me for 4 months and I didn't do anything about it. I no longer have to see this individual but the thought of revenge and hatred consumes me. W/o actually taking revenge, how does one get over this as 6 months has already passed.

that everyone knows who iam, and im being alienated.

im being prevented from reaching my goals in life, being prevented from reaching my dreams....which are to leave britain, to build a new life....i want to emigrate back to france or the us.

but i believe the british people are persecuting me, keeping me here, in britain and hampering everything i try to do.

I am worried about my sister I feel she is neurotically obsessed with impressing people. When I suggested she may have low self-esteem she denied it and became very defensive and instead claimed her high confidence in herself. She lies to other people about very minor things like saying she is best of buddies with everyone in her family, saying she writes poetry when she doesn't. I can't understand it. Even worse is now she has signed up to do a Master's degree. I am worried because I know they are expensive and also know she is not doing it for the sheer enthusiasm and dedication to her studies but rather so she boast to other people that she is doing an MA.

I want to understand her and help her but I don't know how.

...you pretend you believe them just to see how far their lying will go and uncover them when there is no way for them to make it up and you just finish with them?

Why I am content? I am guessing that this deeply rooted belief is the reason: "Everything will be all right, regardless of anything."

I feel dissatisfaction at times, I feel upset at times, I feel angry and confused many times, I search for peace and find it, only to be disgruntled again, just like most people.

But I never worry. I may analogize and feel concern for others' predicaments. I often try to empathize. But personally, I have no worries. When I'm afraid, my belief comforts me.

I am never truly or significantly worried about anything.
Despair and depression are impossible for me.

This is why I say, I am content: because I am never worried.
I need some suggestions. I'm curious.

Why am I never worried?
Why do I believe that things will always be all right?
I have experienced plenty of pain in life, but I have always been able to rise above it. And I cannot imagine not being able to do so. Why is this?

Why are so many people unable to sustain such unworry?

Some say that the faults we find in others is our own... We believe on what we should be is good for us and not who we are as we are?

First a little bit about my self to who ever is going to read this and help me out with my problem.
I'm doing a Degree in Psychology, and so far I've scored high on all the exams I've completed. But my problem is that - I dont want to become a mental health worker. I love to help people. but I like to help them in ways such as getting food and shelter to the homeless or giving disaster relief etc. I love to volunteer and do anything that would make a difference in a persons life. I love to make people safe and secure. Even at home with my family - I like to look after them when they are sick etc.
So anyway my problem is that I have so many distractions, and I tend to stray away from my goals.
The biggest distraction I keep having is that I should become a nurse. But nursing will not allow me to do all what i want to do. Yeah sure, it will allow me to look after the sick, but I dont think thats who I am totally.How do I get this distraction out of my head?

Generally speaking, girls don't. And I don't think it's necessarily an exposure thing (And if it is, only to a small degree) because in my experience girls that are equally exposed to video games just don't take interest in it. They just don't. My sister doesn't and she sees me play games all the time. She even has her own games that she plays once in a blue moon. Same throughout my family and all of my friend's families. So why don't girls like video games? (Generally- have to add that generally or this will turn into a politically correct forum of nothingness with no answers)

When you are the one who deviates from the social norms, it is easy to see and feel the pressure of the group compelling you to re-conform to to the norms.
What I want to know is, why do the people of the group pressure each individual to conform?
I and everyone has been on both sides of the fence of this matter. When I am the one who does something out of the ordinary or deviant, I can feel the pressure to conform.
When I observe someone else doing something that stands out, I see other people subtly pressuring the deviant person to conform and I become part of the pressuring group. I don't even know what my own motive is.
Why is a group bothered by someone who rebels against norms? What drives the group to get the deviant to conform?

I am guessing that it has something to do with the fact that rebellion is punished, so when other people see someone getting away with deviant behavior, they get jealous b/c they want to be able to get away with the same thing. I don't know though.
