Psychology - November 2007

There are so many areas in our life that we can fail at/feel unstatisfied with.

Are we all just destined for unhappiness? I know our life is filled with ups and downs. At what one point you'll feel on the top of the world, then a few weeks later you'll feel as down as ever...

It just feels as though everyday I'm living with a constant cloud over the top of my head, I try to keep myself but it never stops me having a few dispressing thoughts to myself.

I just feel I'm in a constant circle of having a period of happiness and confidence, but then always returning to state of unhappiness, affected by various things, like: (school) work, extra activities, health, socialising (that's getting me down quite a bit) or staying active.

Are there any ways, which you can learn to push those negative thoughts to the back of your head?

Hi, i am a single child born and live with my parents, i haven't have that many friends almost near zero. I blame this on my shyness/social anxiety and lack of confidence. I have graduated with a great degree and excellent gpa and all, i should be pursuing great companies and live a normal life as people do, BUT this social anxiety factor is preventing me from doing all these things and anxiety is keep growing. I wanna live a normal life and have healthy relationships be liked. I for some reason cannot come out of my shell with new people. I just dont have anything interesting to say at social events, i just keep quiet so i dont look ridiculous. I have lots of opinion but i just cant able to express them in right way and feel i get misunderstood a lot by people, i am a positive thinker and dont drink do drugs or any negative things and i really wanna change things and help people, anyone has any advice for me, i will appreciate any feedback or experiences that u share.

My mom and I rarely get into arguments, which is why I think I'm taking the fight we had week ago, so hard. I woke up this morning worrying about our relationship. I don't know why I keep thinking about it. It's turning me into a wreck. I know she loves me, but why am I feeling uncomfortable around her? I want things the way they used to be where I would feel happy and normal in her presence. How can I achieve this?

Hi. I'm a first year undergraduate. Right now I'm working toward my B.A. in Psychology, because I thought I wanted to do counseling and other things of that sort. However, now I'm entertaining the idea of Psychiatry -- if I want to become a Psychiatrist should I switch to get my B.S.??

Mine: After discussing the 5 cents/cloth bag refund with the grocery store clerk, she forgot to give it to me. After checking my receipt on the way out, I went back for the 10 cents! I feel shamefully cheap. It's a character flaw. If you're a cheapskate too, how do you work on it?

Are there any ideas out there? My kids have been a little spoiled during Christmas. This began because of a tragedy they went through when younger and I have allowed the spending to get rediculoulsy high. Now they are well into teens and their wants are so expensive. They don't expect us to get everything for them. So they are not bratty like that. I think I have set them up and now I need to .... what? How?

In other words, is it better to attack psychologically by putting down their self-esteem and making them feel ashamed of themselves, or do you attack physically with beating?

Which is the better way to attack them?

Ok. My boyfriend and I have been together for two years. He is a great guy most of the time. But sometimes, he becomes a macho pig. Thats the only words I can think of to describe him.
-When we argue, the argument is over when HE says it is.
-He always needs to place blame on someone for everything, and that person is always me.
-He does things that he knows annoys me.
-He demands apoligies from me, but refuses to give them to me when I ask because "they would be fake."
-When I tell him I don't want to argue, he does not care
-And he does things like this for example....

Last night we were having difficulities and I went to bed early. He stayed up watching TV. The TV is a little loud from our bedroom so I shut the door. (Which is what he does when he goes to bed early) He came right in and said that there was no need for the door to be shut. I was so stunned....and scared. Why is he acting like this??? Why is he controlling my life?? He is a nice guy but with issues.
