Psychology - November 2007

I work as a waitress at Frisch's in Cincinnati. I have just recently been offered the floor leader promotion, which I really want to take!

But here's the problem. I HATE myself sometimes. I mean, I love talking to people and I'm a good enough waitress, but I take even the slightest critisicms to heart, and I constantly feel judged by the other workers. I'm afraid they won't listen to me, and they'll make me feel even worse about myself.

What do you think?

We send nonverbal communications everyday without even knowing it at times. Nonverbal communication needs to be consistent with your intended message to improve your professional demeanor, don't you think?

I've been working a tech-support job... it doesn't pay much, but I love it considering the fact that all I do all day is sit around and play on the internet (except occasionally I have a tech-support call or someone brings a computer in)... I have worked some tough jobs and boring jobs: like Warehouse, inbound Call center... now I am needing more money, but I find the prospect of having to go do a REAL job sort of depressing...

I'm a philosophy major, and I hope to teach... after I finish my PHD (which is a long way aways since I'm my 3'rd year into my Bachelor's)... but in the mean time... how do I get over the prospect of having to go do a depressing job at an insurance company or something?

I used to be hard working... I fear that I lost my work ethic...

Been 5 months since my worst heart break. I feel hurt and sometimes angry but Ive moved on.I know all about "Time Heals" but this seemed to have opened other issues.Lately Ive been feeling really sad out of nowhere for no reason.To day I left work cause I felt sad and when I got to my car I started crying. Ive been stressed out and worrying a lot too.

Latley at work Ive been blushing around certain people Im usually comfortable around not because Im shy or get embarrassed but I dont know why.And to make it worse they point it out and when I have to deal with them,I start to get scared that Im gonna get all red and my heart beats fast.

This was happening 3 years ago I noticed when I would drink red bulls alot but I dont touch caffine anymore.Also about 10 years ago I use to be on meds for Anxiety/Panic Attacks called Buspar.Ive been pretty healthy,28 and stable minded since.Could my breakup have triggered something in me mentally or whats going on?Should I seek help?

If so, what does it take? Can it be an immediate change or is it a long process?

Does anyone have a link to a credible source explaining in any sort of detail why one can read the following paragraph with such ease.

Ok, I am 16 now, but when I was 14 I was always made fun of on the bus by juniors and seniors in the back. One day I bumped into one who was 17 in 9th grade who would make mean comments. I said wow to him, because I did not think I did, and it was a dark, winter morning. I sat, he got up and grabbed me. I open palm struck him in the nose. He got up and I did it again. Then minutes after or so he attacked me while I was still sitting and bloodied my nose. What do you all think of this situation? How can I not worry about it and say that I was the braver person or did the right thing? Just need some info thanks

my dad always told me that i was a mistake. whenever i would tell him about something that i did that I thought would make him proud he would tell me that helen keller could do it better. i didnt know who she was so i asked my mom and also asked why my dad would compare me to her. she told me that helen keller was a woman that could hold her breath under water for 12 seconds without coming up for air. i told my mom that i could do that and she told me I wasnt smart enough to count to 12 and i'd end up drowning. I think all of these things helped me become a better person, i'm 38 years old now and I probably never would have known about this helen keller womans ability to hold her breath and i can count to 12 no problem, and if my mom told me to try to follow in helen kellers footsteps i would most definately have drowned. one of my online friends told me helen keller was known for something else but i think he's just jealous of the relationship i have with my mom and dad.

I'm a senior in college, and I feel old and like I haven't really accomplished anything. I mean, there's nothing horrible going on in my life, but I recently cut off all contact with an ex (that I'd been friends with after dating for 2 years) and I feel embittered (regretful that I ever got in a relationship with him in the first place). Also, everyone around me seems like they have some sort of solid goal to fulfill after they graduate. I, however, am not really looking forward to graduating, because I'm still not really sure what the hell I want to do with my life.
I feel like a waste of space!
I see no point in graduating, going to grad school and pursuing a humdrum job that I will probably grow bored of after a while.
I also see no point in things most people strive for a (career, marriage, etc). It seems boring. I used to not be this way. WTH.
I feel like I'm the only one standing still in a crowded city of moving people.
I still have fun and all, but....
What's wrong with me??

Right now Im not real happy with how Im doing financially & the only way I can get myself to perform better is to keep my mind fixated on it & kind of obsess over it to work harder & better. However it really takes a toll on me mentally & emotionally. Can you tell me how you deal with something like this, it doesnt have to be finances, it can be relationships or whatever.

Does god take care of Karma? Or is it in our hands to strike back?
What if a person did something wrong, never cared, was self pride, and was just pure evil and life is always good for them?
