Psychology - November 2007

To those who overcame their stuttering or on the way to recovery, please give me some advices aside from going to speech therapist to lessen and gradually overcome my stuttering. Also, please give me some books that can increase my speaking efficiency.

Last, is it true that stutters are highly intelligent? And that they stammer because their mouth cannot match the speed of their thoughts??

Thank you...

1. 19 years old, was with a girl for 1.5 years, caught her at it with my best mate.

2. 21 Years old, was with a girl for 4 months but then her BOYFRIEND from Ireland came home and she immediately left me to get back with him. I had no knowledge of this "boyfriend" who I later found out she had been in constant contact with while I was with her.

3. 23 years old - was with a girl for 6 months and then was unexpectedly dumped by text message one Sunday afternoon without any explanation or any further contact.

4. 26 years old - with a girl for 2 years, had plans to go travelling together and was even talking about marriage etc, booked a ticket to go travelling then the girl said she wasn't ready for all this a couple of months before departure and it was over.

How much heartbreak can one man take? Do you think the above experiences are enough to make a man go insane? I feel that is what is happening to me.

Has anyone else noticed some people seem to hang out here to blow others candles out to try to make theirs appear brighter?

Example, I work as a photographer, I am very average, I have strong technique from years of schooling but lack in the artistic side of it, I'm the first to admit that. - I do architecture mostly.

So I post a question like "do you like the view" I link to this image:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/martini2005/2033258804/

i say this is a snapshot,

Then I get people answering saying those pictures are average or they are snap shots, or just abusing me generally.

I just told them they are snap shots - but they think they should point it out.

So what is it all about?

Are they insecure?
Are they stupid?
Are they jealous?

Please if you know can you explain. I'm aware many are young here and many are just stupid.

Many thanks.

I grew up with an extremely shy and overprotective mother, and I'm just as shy as her.

I'm sick of it! I went through all of junior high and high school being on the outside looking in, and now I'm doing the same thing through my 20's. It's killing my self-esteem, confidence, and fun, tremendously.

I know I'm a nice person, and I'm thankful for that, but I'm sick of being know as just a nice guy.

I'm very intelligent (which I know hurts in this situation), but I've played in rock bands before. I play guitar, bass, drums, and I can sing. I definitely have a cool personality, but I can't share it with people because I'm too damn shy to put myself out there.

I was just diagnosed bipolar too which is ridiculous, but I wouldn't feel so down about life if I could relax and just let loose, you know?

I don't want to let this go on anymore... I want to start working to change it before I get even more stuck in my ways.

Help!

we had something going only after I withdrew,
and by that I mean we had a great friendship with
a hint of romance,
I believe in staying pure until marriage so we never did nothing like that,
I want to send him a letter saying:
"I don't want that life-if I can't have you-I Miss You-And I am Sorry"

Don't ask about the sorry part, ya I feel ashamed for something I did, but it's not cheating or anything close to that!

If I send it to the college (it's a small community one - where everyone "talks" ), WILL HIS BOSS HAVE TO READ IT and
is that a bad idea (writing the letter) ?

I have endured and heard that when children have been abused or tramutized. they lose touch with reality for brief or long periods of time. The psyches way of protecting your conscious or the self.. they say some cocoon themselves in a fantasy and imaginitive worlds as a coping method. Is there a name for it? has psychology validated it, behaviors, dynamics and fundamentals, what I do goes beyond "coping method" which undermines how complex it is. I go in these pathological day-dream trance and fantasy interactions and engage into imaginative/mainstream concsious of playing life. I pathologically feel who I am , as that person, I cry, I get angry, I feel that worldy moment. I forget sometimes that someone is there in the same room watching tv with me. I drift off into a dream state and start living a story introvertly, My body language/ words/ mannerism show with it . I can't turn it off. thats not normal can years of it harm you. My thearipist cant give it a validated form

It really hurts that they are doing this to me. I never really thought I was better then them, if I ever bragged, it was because I needed approval.....that's all.....if anything, I wanted to be great friends with everyone but the opposite has happened. Now, that they have successes of their own, they are REALLY rubbing it in me especially when I'm down. How can I deal?

My life has always pretty much sucked. From the time I was young till about now, the thought of me just wanting to die has come to mind a lot. I've always been extremely lonely & have had problems within my family & never really felt the love from them either. It has affected me a lot. In the past, I was also pretty physically abused often. I can't really say I've ever felt truly happy in life & am usually never in too good of a mood. I personally really dislike myself & consider everything to be hopeless & view myself as being worthless. I'm extremely emotional & cry for pretty much everything & am offended very easily & when it comes down to thinking about my life, I only want to cry even more. I hate feeling this way, I mean it's obviously not a good way to live life. & so, I've always considered seeing a psychologist, but at the same time have always doubted whether these sorts of problems & feelings would better if I saw a psychologist, so what are your opinions? Thanks in advance

A lot of people say how harmful scientology is but they don't explain how.
Here are a few tricks they use that I know.
First they get you when you are vulnerable. Depressed ,stressed out etc.

There are some truths so you get suckered into it, the lies make you go in circles so it is hard to get out.

There is always something about someone you disagree with(human nature), but they blow those out of proportion to disconnect you from others.

They make you ashamed of everything you do and think,overts and withholds theory.

What scientologist don't know is that every thing they teach them about suppressives and psychiatrist is exactly what they are doing to them.
tell me what you know.

Are you more apt to be surrounded by deceitful people?

Or does like energy...attract like energy?
(i.e. good people attract good people.)

Or do thoughts create reality?
(i.e. see the good and manifest the good.)

What do you think occurs when an individual has a tendency to only sees the good in people?

does this affect how the child perceives themselves?
For example, if a pre-teen girl bends over in front of a man without realizing and the mother says she is flirting sexually when she did not have these intentions at all and the mother continues with such assumptions and remarks?

When you want to explode of anger, but you cant express it or make a noise because it's 12;00 pm and
there are people sleeping.

"Did you know that the anger stucks in my chest and stomach if i cant express it..... it is seriously de*vil inside that'll brain wash ur mind by a severe anger inside"

Divorce
Honoring marriage
Cheating (The more I learn about that, the more it repluses me)
Love
Intregrity
Respect
Atheism (Been learning a lot about it lately. Really can't get on borad with it the more I learn. Don't know why. Shouldn't it be the other way around?)
God (Have no idea what to say about that! I just don't know)

Why are these things I can't not think about? These have become some pretty hot topics with me as of late. I really wish I didn't care about any one them! I sincerely wish I didn't care. . . but I do. I wish I ignorant to all it. But I'm not.

Why do these things consume my thoughts? Is this just hard wired into me to over think?

All my life I have altered myself to suit others. If someone wanted a joker as a friend, I became that joker. If someone wanted someone they could talk to seriously, I became that person and so forth. It all works out somewhat, but know I find my personality changes every time the people I'm around changes and I just don't know who the REAL me is anymore. Who am I? I just don't know anymore.... Can you help me? may be it just that I don't really exist....

Perceptionally, if words are misquoted, taken out of context, if someone asks, gets answered, then abuses the privellege either as jealous, ignorant or just plane stubborn idiocy, why would you bother?

Surely there is a greater truth in not being small minded, perhaps naive, or ill informed, or personally perceptionally deceived on only what is wrong and never right with the world.

Does yahoo when answers or questions can not be deleted by either the questioner or anwerer when set in concrete have an eternity for denial to those who seek and the relativity is as much based on companies ahead of the their time having privelleged information where ignoramaces prove their vanity?

Is abuse the only reason for removal upon reporting, or during an election campaign is the victimization of key individuals seen as desirable to free speach by yahoo?

Surely choice is as much about the right to deny as to give?

i'm 15 years old. and i am having an extremely hard time lately dealing with life. there has been nothing too dramatic going on in my life (the typical homework issue, but that's it!), but i feel so UPSET. like life's not worth living anymore. i don't find a point to existence, it seems like one pathetic game of sims. i feel like i am so separated from reality, like nothing's real and there are no consequences. Today i had a really urgent need to cut myself, and i would have if i found a blade, but i didn't. I'm constantly obsessing about my weight. i hate myself, i'm just a horrible person. no guy should like me, none of my friends deserve a horrible friend like me. my parents gave birth to the worst possible daughter to live.

why live? i only do because a. suicide = hell and i don't want God hating me too. and b. my parents would be devastated. i can't deal with this. i can't tell them about this though..i don't want people thinking i'm an emo child. i hate life. please help?? :[

social anxiety disorder. They are so many rude peopl in the world. Why do I always get stupid comments. Like i have peopl come into my dorm and they act like it is their house. They say stupid **** like Why are you studying? I said because I have a test. They were like you don't need to study life is a test and I was getting angry. So i said that life is a test, but if you don't plan to study THEN DON'T GO TO SCHOOL AND WASTE YOUR PARENTS MONEY. Then, not to be mean, but I was walking with three fat people, so if i kept walking i would bump into to them so the logic is that I can walk behind them or walk on the grass for like a minute. They act as if I am so weird they were like umm why do you always walk on the grass there is plenty of room. Or when I was going outside i had a sweater on and I was warm, but the one girl who isn't even my roomate(but is always there ) told me where is my jacket. WHY DO I GET SOP ANGRY? IS IT NORMAL THAT I GET REALLY ANGRY WHEN PEOPLE TELL ME
