Most people I know with quite low self esteem believe both that they don't matter very much to anyone and also that other people must talk about them all the time (negatively).

It's a strange combination.

maybe you don't know about psychology and bf skinner and operant conditioning. okay, then skip it. but you cannot skip it can you? you must keep pecking away because you can vent at me or maybe get 10 points. you have to have your reward and keep pecking away.

It's a holiday so I can't get more information. I was fired from that job in early September for no appreciable reason--apparently my boss just really hated me. More than I even thought, it turns out. I have been over the code of ethics and can't find anything I did wrong, except maybe that after I was fired, I became friends with a former client who also went to my church. She had been discharged long before I was fired even. But it's not like I had sex with anyone, or exploited anyone. I am no longer a substance abuse counselor and I must say I never want to go through all this again. Now I work for Dept. of Mental Health with little kids. What's the worst that could happen, sanctions-wise? I was not licensed, just Certified Addictions Counselor--Pending, and it's not like I'm using that, so they can have it. My fear is that this will somehow come back to bite me in my future career. It's very scary. Any advice or information is appreciated.

I dont know why but i want to be liked by everyone. I mean in the class i want all guys talk to me and girls like me. If some of them dont say hello to me i just feel somehow worthless and become sad. Also, i can't be confident next to really pretty girls, not that I am not pretty. But i keep looking at them when they talk and think "wow shes really cute and self confident". Then suddenly i feel dull and cant keep converstaion with her, i got nothing to say!...

I find this guy at work quite amazing, There is 5 of us at work, this guy has picked the most popular person in our work place and is buying everything he buys just to fit in, Its like when I was at school and Air Jordans where all the rage, This guy has bought an xbox, ipod, taken up various different hobbies and even bought a BMW all because the most popular guy in our work place has just bought one.

Whats wrong with being an individual?

Do you have a person like this at your work? A person who just really tries to hard

And what's the best response, to "age gracefully" or try to fight it at all costs?

When does fighting it become an embarrassment and why?

I posted a question on YA advocating one side of an argument and got 6 answers telling me I was wrong. Later I posted a question advocating the other side of the same question and once again got 8 or 10 answers telling me I was wrong. Not one looked just at the merits of the question.

Most people hear about the elderly and vulnerable who are mentally abused by their carer... what you don't often hear... is the carer who gets abused mentally from the person they are looking after.

In this case I am the abused carer here
I have a live in and on duty 25 hr day 8 day a week care position
I go to bed most nights crying
I have looked for other work... as this is not my preferred position.... but took this one on as unable to find other work... I have no accomodation... so this makes it even more difficult to leave. How do I get out of this situation??? I want a normal job.. and my own accomodation so that I can get my life back. I am CRB checked, owner car driver, independent lady, who is just looking for a proper place in life.

Why everyone who dies seems to have been such a 'nice guy' and did lots of 'charity' work and was an 'honest employer' and very 'kind and helpful'?
Why do they say the same thing about Serial Killers as well?
(He was so kind, he used to help old ladies across the street, you could NEVER tell!)?

i get 133 and 134 on iq tests and i have a severe obsession about my height
im a little over 5'5" female
i've been crazy about being not tall enough for some time now and there's a phase, especially when it comes to happen to think about it again
i get immensely stressed and look like a lunatic, wanting to be taller
i've never seen someone like me being so crazy about heights
is this lacking in common sense?
can smart people have a different perspective on their view of certain things?

So here we are another day,
Smiling politely at people we pass in the street going about their daily business,
As we go about ours,
I mean what’s the point? Why have we built this existence for ourselves?
Were born then spend the next 16 years learning at school then we leave and spend the next 49 years at work then if were lucky we get 10 or so years to retire and actually enjoy being alive,
I mean sure we have little perks in life like a nice car and surround ourselves with gadgets and gizmos to make it all more bearable,
That we can only buy if we follow the system set out above but if you ask me 90% of the human race seems to of lost the point of being a living breathing animal,
When you come down to it that’s all we are ANIMALS,
Just like lions or tiger, monkeys and birds,
You don’t see them learning and working?
I know what you’re thinking, “That’s what separates man from beast”
Well I can’t really argue with that,
Can I?
You know when you get home from work after you have cooked some dinner and settle down in front of the TV and you see some documenty about a tribe who live miles from the advanced world,
They don’t follow the same system we do yet they’re alive, happy, and im not sure on this but it seems like they have no crime and they all work as a team,
That’s what we use to be like until we “bettered” ourselves
Im not so sure we took the right road?
Yes we have technology and warm houses, running water etc but we also have murderers paedophiles and countless other bad things that im afraid to say we have created in our bid to make the world a better place,
If we could wipe the slate clean and start again I think I would try and keep the simple things you see that tribe on TV doing like building your own house with the help of your neighbours growing vegetables and keeping animals for your area having a social point like a big meeting hut/house where your tribe/neighbours meets to discuss important things,
Im not talking about living in the jungle and prancing round with spears im all for technology but im also for actually living my life and not spending all my time learning at school so I can go to work and pay the government all my money so they can then screw me over buy raising the tax on every item I buy to make my life feel just slightly worthwhile!
Im sure my system would have flaws but the best thing about it is we can actually spend time doing things together no longer does the dad have to miss his son/daughters first steps because he’s at work so some government official can buy another yacht community spirit would be alive,
Just like when your Nan use to tell you “I remember when you could leave your front door unlocked”

My brother is one of the most evil people I've ever known. He has a warped mentality that can change the littlest of issues into World War III. He will hear me complain about someone at work and develop a grudge against them, even though he doesn't know them and doesn't have to DEAL with them! He will then develop conspiracy theories, talk about dealing with them...before backing down. He gets seriously crazy about things that shouldn't worry him!

I also have this coworker(whom he hates but has never met ironically) who is a nasty person too. She has chased away a couple of my employees and angered many people at work because of her personality. She is a LOSER that has no people skills, yet is taking her little shift manager job a little too seriously.

I consider both of them total sociopaths, and the bane of many's existences. How do you deal with them?

Due to circumstances and events in my life, My personality is very negative, and depressing. I try hard to be nice and happy of course, and I don't want to be negative, but always being restricted from everything I want is hard to deal with! I really want to be positive and change my bad attitude, and I try to smile when I talk to ppl but I always look angry as hell and upset to them.
Ive been in counseling for quite awhile and its helped somewhat but I've still developed to be very negative and depressing. (most likely from lack of sex and affection and it kills me)
any advice to change my attitude?
