I am seeing a counselor for the first time tomorrow, but have been doing some reading on my own. I'm afraid that I have a co-dependency problem based on my reading. I wonder though, how one draws the line between being truly co-dependent and wanting to protect those you love. For instance, I am in a situation right now where a lot of people are going to be affected. I want to protect them all, but is that becasuse I'm co-dependent or just a normal instinct to protect those I love? I'm going to mention this to the counselor tomorrow, I just wanted some other opinions as well. No smart-*** answers either, please.

I have trouble connecting with others because Im very shy and I don't have good communication skills. What are some secrets to good communication skills? How do I become a great communicator such as Larry King? And how do I get others to like me? How do I get comfortable in my own skin?

I've generally considered the belief in a personal God, with whom one has a "personal connection", and the belief in any religion (i.e. a big list of do's and don'ts) to be different, but related concepts.

Some examples of these do's and don'ts are opposition to homosexuality (alot of religions!)... and things like required religious clothing (e.g. headscarves for Muslim women).

I'm beginning to think now (from talking to people who believe in a personal God) that such people will always have a list of religious do's and don'ts, and that the only difference is how long the list is!

What are your thoughts and experiences on this?

and by byproducts I mean that psychology is only for healing normal people, it's for healing people who have ailments that are caused by living in unnattural enviroments such as space ships, submarines or large cities. I feel if people played a more active role in nature, all these strange issues wich I consider by products of not living properly would not exist, Hence psychology would not be nesseccary. Does any one agree? or feel I shouldn't live?

I am beyond socially awkward, I can't integrate myself well in society, I have low self-esteem, I don't have many friends, I go to a high ranked college but can't seem to apply what I learn to life, I have very little motivation, I have a lack of remorse... how the hell do I change?

Perhaps I should rephrase after my last question. Can you please describe to me what it is like to only rely on your sense of touch? P.S. > if you haven't actually experienced this, that's fine can you just let me know what you think it would be like. Thanks.

What part of human nature does this appeal to that makes us laugh and cry at the same time?

Do men and women both get laugh and cry from watching this?

I don't get it... Why does it make me cry and laugh?

shes almost 20 years older than me..i barely know her and most likely she doesnt know me although shes seen me around campus...im just intrigued by her...so smart and all that..i know this isnt healthy but i keep thinking about her...i do my best not to think about this person...but when theres nothing else to do..shes there again....

the thing is i observed our personalities are not compatible enough to have a mutual rapport...this sucks, i feel like im stuck in a rut..while this guy seems to really like her and they at least connect as friends....

Often I have noticed people's behavior change from what it used to be on the first encounter. They can be charming and provide you with attention but than after a while that doesnt remain the same. When I notice this change it worries me so I assume that I have done something to disappoint that person and he/she doesnt like me anymore therefore my personality shifts from being content to acting cold and distant. It gets very confusing because when I feel that something might be a problem I will ask if there is anything I did wrong and the answer I always end up getting is that there is no problem and this person likes me the same so nothing has changed. A friend of mine also added that I want people to worship me in order to feel satisfied. This actually strikes me as a surprise because I just wanted some reassurance which doesn't last long when I see people changing so rapidly.
Am I just being paranoid and noticing little things or can there be some truth in my suspicions?

I get over on others before they get over me. I get what I want because in the end nobody else matters. Could I be wrong?

Tabitha, the tiger, killed one person and injured two people. Tigers rarely kill people. People rarely kill other people too. Are some animals psychotic like humans? In 1898, there were two lions who killed 135 people in Kenya, Afracia. Just like there are humans who kill multiple people.

Okay, I'm concerned because this person is really nice and is hilarious...like she seriously makes anyone laugh. She's pretty, and she works out and everything seems fine. But on the inside she's boiling and she's pissed at everyone, she's paranoid and she thinks everybody hates her. She has a conscience and she's concerned about what she does, but not as much as she should be, she gets irrate to the point that she would love to kill the person she's pissed at, esp. her parents. She has no responsiblilty for her actions and she feels like her parents are out to kill her or hate her. Everyone expects her to have a boyfriend but she doesn't and hasn't had one in a long time and maybe she thinks it's because she puts out the "crazy" front, even though she makes sure to put on her "happy" mask in the morning. Her mom's afraid to sleep w/ her door unlocked b/c she doesn't want to get stabbed in sleep,even though she's never tried it? ...It's me and do you think something's wrong. Help?

was just recently diagnosed as BDP. i had been in a relationship with a girl who gave me all the love and support in the world. however, it was a long distance relationship and i think the separation from her is what triggered my symptoms to increase. she tried to reason to me but i started to rage over the internet and it eventually caused her to break up with me. now we aren't even speaking. i apologized for hurting her and told her i was sick. i called her too many times that she probably thinks i'm a stalker. she said that nothing will get better right now, but i think she'd be happier to never talk to me again. she'll always remember me as her psycho ex, despite all the happy times we spent together.

has anyone been in this situation before? how do i get over the "what if"s- what if i wasn't sick, what if i had been calmer that night. because the answer to that is we'd probably be happy together. how do you forget and move on, when all you are left is an empty self and a disorder that took away the best thing to ever happen to you?

When you think about it this actually makes sense because we are products of our environment after all. Personally I wouldn't be very fond of something like this. Many other people are likely to agree. I hate it when my mother tells me that she was like me at my age. Obviously I'm not open to believing or accepting such a thing.

My little cousin (15 y.o.) loves to watch calves getting castrated. She thinks is funny and she even said that she would like to learn. In my point of view is just a cruel but necessary and often done procedure. Is there something wrong with her? Or is this something that only girls can understand? What is funny about this?
