Psychology - November 2007

Most of the brain - yours not mine - remains unused until it joins the rest of you in the crematorium or in the dark, cold earth. Tempus fugit. Please don't waste your precious time on this planet in vicarious voyeurism. Life is too short to be shallow. Our brains - use them or lose them - are capable of venturing into very deep areas. Good luck.

Here are a few examples to help you decide...
(((Self-Confident people)))
*Doing what you believe to be right, even if others mock or criticize you for it.
*Being willing to take risks and go the extra mile to achieve better things.
*Admitting your mistakes and vowing to learn from them.
*Waiting for others to congratulate you on your accomplishments.
*Accepting compliments graciously. “Thanks, I really worked hard on that prospectus. I’m pleased you recognize my efforts.”
(((Low Self-Confident people)))
*Governing your behavior based on what other people think.
*Staying in your comfort zone, fearing failure and so avoid taking risks.
*Working hard to cover up mistakes and praying that you can fix the problem before anyone is the wiser.
*Extolling your own virtues as often as possible to as many people as possible.
*Dismissing compliments offhandedly. “Oh that prospectus was nothing really, anyone could have done it.”

Has anyone achieved anything that people doubted you could do?

Did you start a lucrative business that no-one believed would get off the ground? Did you exceed all expectations at school by getting high grades? What kind of things did people say to you? Please share.

I am 14 years old and I cant't go anywhere alone.
I can't even take a bus or train or walk somewhere yet alone got to school alone. I was supposed to go to the theme park with my friends but because the girl That I was supposed to go with, she would have met me on the bus, was sick so I couldn't go. I was very much excited and even got ready to go before she messaged me. After that, I felt disappointed with myself and regretted not going but I can't go anywhere alone so It was my fault. Can someone help me overcome this fear and help me be more independent. Please, before it gets worse.
I also can't order food for myself or buy something at the store.
This problem is really killing me. I need help. Anyone?

Why do I retain anger? How can I make it stop?
My friend made some humiliating jabbing comments on purpose at something I like but she doesn't. In front of other people. It was a couple of hours ago, and I'm still upset about it. It's like she's normal one day, then b.i.tchy again the next, then she's normal again. I just want to stop feeling mad at this... It's so pointless.

It's as if I can't be happy. I don't get why not, I have a good family, a nice home, good friends, I'm well fed, good health, and I'm young. I don't get that I have all this yet I'm going through a severe depression. I mean, I used to be so naive, but after I found out about everything bad in the world, and I started to open my eyes, it's just gone downhill from there. And added on to my process of thinking, there are the teenage emotions. I'm so tired of trying to fix it...what's the point anymore?

So there's a guy... I'll try to make the story short. We liked each other last year, we went to homecoming together, but then we got shy and didn't talk for 6 months. He went out with this girl for 6 more months. At homecoming this year we saw each other and he didn't stop looking at me the whole night. It was like some kind of connection when we looked at each other across the room. We started talking on AIM a lot more after that, and he broke up with her two weeks after homecoming. I was one of the first people he told, and he said it was because he "didn't feel the same way anymore." Some people think he likes me, and I have a feeling... but I don't know. He told me if he didn't have a girlfriend, he would've asked me to homecoming this year, so I want to ask him to Sadies. One problem: we have amazing conversations on AIM, but it's awkward in person because we sort of have a history. I really like him, and I don't want to screw things up like last year by not talking to him. Help!

Why is it that people judge other people based on their strengths and weaknesses, when it is known to all of us that no one is good at everything and we all have different talents and strong and weak points in life ?

Consider rape, sexual abuse,severe handicaps, poverty as a child, beatings, murders and other things that people really do experience in life before you answer. Please answerers before you respond, be aware that horrible things can and do happen to people and these people do suffer. And just being sick of them killing your buzz is not a good enough excuse to be superior to them. Grrrrrrrrrr.

This has happened to me so many times, and I don't know if it's really happening or if I'm dreaming...I'll be sleeping and I feel like I need to wake up, but I can't . I try to move, scream but I can't..I struggle and struggle until finally I get awake. Why do I do this?

My whole life has been very deprived and unhappy. I've always been in the wrong place, at the wrong time with the wrong people, and a majority of my life has been lived in my imagination to try and ease my anger and sadness. I've been treated like **** from my family and by people in school my entire life, so of course school always sucked for me. I've also never had any friends, and I've had almost no fun. Im dull now from lack of fun.

-People who have tried to give me advice don't understand how bad off I've been and give me very shallow advice from their incredible lack of understanding. I'm also lied to on a daily basis by a family member, and ignored like I'm nothing by them all of the time. I have felt trapped, isolated, and in despair for most of my life, to the point where I'm actually addicted to pain.
I don't need any advice, but I wanna ask you all, do you understand how angry and sad that would make someone be, if they had to live that kind of life for almost 20 years?

I've been sleeping semi-well waking up in the middle of the night once or twice but I haven't dreamt in a while or at all. It's just sleep-wake-up-be tired for school.
