Psychology - December 2007

I killed a bug the other night and my nephew said I shouldn't do that... I asked him why, and he said he didn't know why... He just knows it isn't nice. (He's 3 BTW.) How do we just know these things?

e.g. I'll tell him something that happened to me, and he'll sarcasticially respond, "did he?" or "is it"? in a purpously patronising voice.
It seems random, but what is the "trigger" cause them to do it at that moment in time?

Paraphilia and Phobia's ..... seriously who took the time to label every thought that a human might have as a condition?

Why not label everything then, the sexual arousal you get from clapping your hands as "clapaphilia" if they are going to label sexual arousal from stealing things as Kleptophilia. Or the fear you get from smiles as smiliphobia. Dear God, please tell me they don't have that already! lol!

What strategies do you think managers can use to effectively communicate with difficult personalities? How can a positive attitude combined with a challenging personality affect the way people work?

Has anybody heard anything? Also how can anybody do such a henious thing, and when they do do they feel any remorse and regret. These were innocent people that had nothing to do w/ his life that he shot! I have had a nervous breakdown, but I never considered doing something like that. Is it a chemical/ electical thing in the brain, or is it a purely mental agression issue?

It's hard. You have no distractions in front of you. The teacher is lecturing, your paying attention for one second and the next minute you drift off. And then when you realize you lost focus, you already don't know whats going on. I'm not like some other kids, who sleep in class, who choose not to stay on task. I get so mad at myself everytime I'm off task. I don't know what's going on, I never do.

I'm sorry I don't know what's going on. Why am I like this?

What can I do to stay focus. I could ask someone to pinch me.

I had an intruder for a long long time. From 2 pairs of shoes one of each pari was taken. I looked for my winter boots recently and found one, I hope the other is around the room somewhere hidden by something.
I did manage to pin point the intruder/s but proving their identity is not easy.
What kind of person takes one shoe? What is their reasons for taking a shoe? What fun do they get from this? Shoes aren't cheap nor were my boots and I have to replace these or hobble around with one on and my other foot swathed in socks.

well apparently lots of folks say that we are ALL racist and it is whether or not we choose to let those tendencies take over that is key...I say that's bullsh*t!!! I have NEVER hated or thought about hating ANYONE especially based on their color--I don't like some people a lot-but it's because they are not good people(there are white ones, black ones, green ones lol..bla bla).That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of...and believe me I've seen it...my entire family is racist...that's how I learned not to be.I just wonder if you guys feel the same as I do or do you really think we are ALL racist inside?

Right Foot and Brain...

You gotta try this!!

How smart is Your Right Foot ? ?

Just try this. It is from an orthopedic surgeon.......

This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't.

It's preprogrammed In your brain!

1. WITHOUT anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY......)and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make Clockwise Circles.

2.. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your Right Hand. Your foot will change direction.

I told you so!!! And there's nothing you can do about it!

You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done , You are going to try it again, if you've not already done so. Send it to your mates to frustrate them too..

Think of an ant farm, they go about there lives everyday without ever knowing they are someones pets, they are being watched constantly and some higher power is controlling there fate even though they are totally oblivious.
Couldn't we be in the same situation, could we all just be very advanced ants with someone controlling or influencing our every move. Also couldn't this be where the theory of a god or higher power makes sense...?

I am naturally a very nervous person and am about to take my ex husband to court over summer money issues on SSI for the children and visitation. I am on disability due to my anxity issues. While I feel I have a strong case I think it's going to be hard for me to present it to the judge effectivly. I get so nervous it's sometime hard for me to get the things I really am trying to get across. I can not afford to hire another attorney so I will have to do this myself. Any suggestions?

In the movie Mr. Brooks, Kevin Costner plays a man that is addicted to killing random people. It isn't spur of the moment, he plans and premeditates it very well, so I wouldn't consider it to be a psychotic condition, it's played out as more of a hobby. I was just wondering if this was an actual medical condition.

I used to cry all the time. Over everything. But over the past year and a half or so, I have noticed a huge change. I haven't been able to cry. I will try, but the tears just wont fall. When I get sad, I will just sit there, with my knees up to my chest, and stair at the wall. I just go into this major depressed mode. And I wont say anything. Ill just sit there. I might listen to some music, but slow sad songs. I am starting to get worried that I may have something wrong with me.
Things i get sad over are little things, like guys, past problems, and I have major low self esteem issues. Many people constantly try to convince me that I am "beautiful." or "stunning" but i don't believe them. I think that I am fat and ugly and many people are prettier then me. I sometimes (this sounds pathetic) will just stand in front of a mirror and degrade on myself. constantly putting me down. I don't like to show that I am upset around people either. I have a way of hiding it like its not there. Help
