Psychology - December 2007

i was a loner in a small high school, being the new kid..when i started college last year, i joined many clubs and weekend overnights to feel a part of the group, but i was always left out...i never really found a group similar to my personality, and when i meet a fellow introvert, that person prefers to hang out with the outgoing group--where i just didnt fit...now, im just on my own, i eat alone and read a book in a corner...i do one on ones, but i excuse myself out when she hangs out with the 'group...'...is this healthy??? or is this a sign of depression im not aware of....

Sometimes I'll have a young lady come up and attempt to strike conversation. I never know if she's interested or just being friendly. The only thing I know to do is check to see if she's just as social with other people. Just wondering if there are any subtle things to pay attention to.

while i was taking the train home one day i usually sit by the window and stare at the trees and building while listening to music. On the side of one building some vandalist wrote "Logic is a threat". At first i just though it was some kid trying to be bigger than the law. Then i started to think about it and couldnt really think of an explanation of why this person wrote it. My question is what do you think this vandalist meant by "Logic is a threat"

...the voices are always negative? Why can't someone have a voice in their head saying "Dang, you look great today!" or "Nice job on that project!", or at least something constructive like "Hey - why don't you go for a salad for lunch instead of that Big Mac?"

My boyfriend of 5 months just revealed to me last night that he was in a relationship when we met and started dating, and he continued to see this person. he said that he felt really guilty and wanted me to know. God had already revealed this to me in a dream, so I really wasn't very surprised. but the strange thing about it is that for some strange reason, I am not angry about it, almost like I dont even care, but of course I dont want him to know this. I do however like him alot, I am just not in love with him. so how do you explain this?? shouldn't I be devastated and crying my eyes out right now ?

I sometimes feel as though no guys find me attractive...I think I heard this one guy who I liked a bit say that only a blind person would find me attractive...Im so sad. I know I'm a bit overweight, but I think I have a decent-looking face...I dont know, what should I do? I hate feeling so bad. I feel as though the only thing I can focus on right now is school, because at least that can't really judge how I look :(

There's this guy from my work that I like. We met months ago on a work get together but work in diff. states. We talk now and again by phone and have even got together once..we like each other & he told me that. Also he wants to come see me soon. I asked him what he was up to for the weekend and he told me that he had invited a girl to his house to cook with him. I asked him if this was a girlfriend and he said no it is just a friend. His voice didn't hint of any feelings for her. Do you think he likes her as more than a friend? Also, if he wants something with me, why mention her at all? If he doesnt want something with me, why doesnt he tell me he feels something for this other girl? help.

I work with this woman who is very dramatic and self important but to make work life smooth I act like she's interesting and I enjoy talking to her. HR and most of the staff complain about her negativity, loud mouth and rudeness but since I have to work closely with her, I'm a temp she's an employee, I pretend I actually care. How about you? Who do you pretend to like to make your life easier?
