Psychology - December 2007

I don't understand it. I doubt if you would find a single male who thinks a woman is attractive who looks like a skeleton or a stick insect. I've never come across any males who think so.

I do this once in awhile. On the positive side it is kind of fun to think about what might have happened if I took this road and not that one. Maybe life would have been better. My latest thought has been that I should have joined the Marines or Army Infantry when I enlisted at age 18. This would have given me better character, leadership abilities, and self esteem. Instead, I joined the Army Signal Corps at 18, became a radio operator, worked and lived comfortably, mostly inside, in Heidelberg, Germany, became a lazy, manipulting, conniving womanizer, fake and alcoholic for the next 23 years. Now I wonder if that decision to take the easy route was my first big mistake of many that limited my life and happiness.

Please don't comment on my experience, just say what you want to, about thinking back at the good and bad important decisions in life. Is doing this at all useful or is it harmful? What is your story (optional) of a good or bad decision made in the past?

how do you deal with annoying "friends"? first off shes more of an aquaintance then a friend, you know people you just talk to at school or work, nothing more then that.so ive known "her" for a while.most people change throughout highschool better or for worse,in this case worse.A while back she use to be somewhat respectful person. now what makes her annoying is the fact that she is rude disrestful,does not answer you in a positve manner, and always has something negative to say,brags ect and just plain out annoying..ive told her already to change her attitude if she still wanted to be cool with me.i am a type of person that will not take any disrespect lightly for most cases, but since ive known her for a while i feel as if i should just take it lightly and ignore the crap she gives me. i have to deal with this each day due to the fact that i have her in a class. how can i deal with this situation.forgot to mention that she is not the "most flattering" looking girl either,may this be the reason of her attitude?

I am sick and tired of people answering questions with self righteous moral diatribes about how "this is wrong" and "you shouldn't do that". Whatever happened to Yahoo! Answers being a place to get answers to a question, straight forward, with no one using the forum as a pulpit to "teach a person a lesson" about abortion, child abuse, neglect, etc.? If I ask a question about something specific I expect an answer. If I ask specifically for an opinion I expect an opinion.

I know I am sick of it. I was just wondering when Yahoo! answers became Yahoo! opinion.

What are your thoughts on the psychological mindset of the individuals who continually disredard all the rules and policies that were set forth to help people get the "answers" they are looking for instead of opinions?

Recently there was a mall shooting and a lot of people who knew the guy said they wished they listened to him...


when people say stuff like "kill me now" or "ugh i wish she would just die" how can you tell if they really mean it or not?

I'm 31 yrs old now, and i've kept detailed diaries since I was 8. They contain all kinds of things i'd never want another soul to read, but I can't throw them away. They help remind me of how things used to be. See, I have a brain tumor, and it's really messed up my memory, so this is the only way I can remember. And there is some wacky stuff in there, believe me.
My great worry is that when I die, someone will read them. They would never think the same of me. I've asked my relatives to burn them if I die- but I don't really trust they can resist reading them. How would you handle this situation?

I have had the same dream over and over now for the past couple of months. The dream basically is that the world ends. Every time I have the dream it happens the same way, the world ends by a huge cloud of poison gas that plumes over the earth. Basically the dream ends by my saying calmly " Its about to end, lets lay down and hold hands" and then I calmly do and wait for the end. The only differing thing is that every time I lie down with different people. One time it was with half my family and another it was with one sister and the other night it was with a classmate. Usually I am able to accept my fate and lay down and die peacefully but last night I cried as I felt scared and was only with a classmate so i felt alone (therefore I did not die easily).

Why am I having this terrible dream??? Why do I have it over and over????

This is crazy and deeply disturbing

I had a crush on somebody for three years even though he abandoned me as a friend. And my boyfriend who dumped me... well, I'm still attracted to him too.
And in the past I've had dreams where my worst enemies have been my best friends.

Is there any reason why either me, or just humans in general can't keep away from people who have hurt us in the past?

I'm an intellectual seventeen-year-old who attends prep school. Always persuing goals and am a thinker. For instance, I write essays on the dichotomy between good and bad in life as well as other random ideas bustling in my head. I'm in a wonderful lesbian reltionship, have friends, but don't like to party or take drugs.
Despite that I have much going for me, I've been battling a depression for many years and have felt unbelievable bored. Bored with what life offers, what people offer. Bored with the predictability of life. Bored with things planned and things spontaneous. Despite how much I try to change, I still find life disappointing and unbearable (to the point that I've considered ending it).
Does anyone have good thoughts to share regarding my feelings? Nothing about religion and god please.
Thanks so much!

How can I overcome this? I do not suffer from depression and am happy with myself and life but I find myself crying at least once a week. I cry when I am angry, read something sad or touching, see certain things on TV such as weddings, tired, stressed out, hear bad things in the news, in a lot of pain, think of certain things, see others crying or in pain... I cry for many things. How do other people view this and can anyone relate? I am 23 years old and did start crying easily until about the age of 13. Nothing significant happened in my life during this time to make me such a crybaby. Does anyone have any suggestions to stop tearing up so easily? I find crying in front of others embarrassing.

I have certainly gotten way more aware of passing time now, than I did before. When I look back, I feel a lot has happened, but it went so quick. Plus, I felt that I lived very reactively at that time. Basically, I let life act on me. But now, I feel it is time to act on life.

I also sometimes feel like I don't want to count anymore. When someone asks me my age...I really want to not be able to remember or care :).

then when theyve riled you and your ready for tearing heads off shoulders.....their all happy and grinning...because theyve achieved their desired result.......then they run off back into the woodwork.

while your left feeling outraged, enraged....wanting to batter them relentlessley.

plus these people know how to press your buttons......and obviously you cant break their necks or batter their skulls apart because then its gameover for you.

so how do you handle these people ?

who are grinning broadly....and happy with their result, withought smacking their teeth down their neck ?

I earned a Ph.D. in a so-called "soft science". Outside of a college/university environment, I think addressing me as "professor" is as unnecessary as a civilian addressing a military person by their armed forced title. I wouldn't mind being addressed as "Dr.", but I prefer to be called by my first name, or "Mrs." or "Ms.". I think "Professor" is appropriate if I'm your college teacher. My mother is having a cow over this. I don't get it. I just prefer to reserve the title "Dr." for physicians. Am I the only one who feels this way?

if you seriously belived everyone hates you, even your parents, and family. and if you didn't have alot of friends. would you kill youself?

what if you mother said things to you like
"if you want to kill yourself, i don't care"
and "i hate you"

what if you sister said things to you like
"i hope you die early" and
" i hope you go to hell someday"

and you were seriously depressed, and convinced no one likes you, and your just a fat ugly stupid loser who has nothing to offer in this world.

would you do it?
