Psychology - December 2007

I have always been too laid back and relaxed, always going with the flow and rarely anxious or nervous. It has gotten to a point that its a bad thing.... It's like everytime I do something I always end up screwing things up or making mistakes because I end up not being aware of the situation until it comes to me. I hate it so much.... makes me look so clumsy...

How can I change this?

Ive had crazy dreams as far back as I can remember (im 30), and I often have nightmares. I also remember my dreams every night, they are very vivid and so real. They could be box hit movies lol. The last few months, Ive been having nightmares at least 6 nights of the week, and Im waking up my children and husband because Im either crying or screaming in my sleep. Sometimes I wake myself up Im so loud. Im a very light sleeper, and Im up a lot in the middle of the night. My dreams are very gory, violent and disturbing. Why am I having so many nightmares and is there anything I can do about it? I watch what I eat before bed, and I dont watch anything crazy on tv.

Now a days I'm starting to think that morality doesn't exist. It feel's so hard to believe in it these days. Yes I know ones person's morality may not be anothers. "One size doesn't fit all." But many times one person's morality can actually end hurting another person. But if it's not in their morality, does it mean it was wrong?

What I'm saying is, it's just a constant CLASH! One after another these days. Nothing makes sense. People just seem to be such an endless lie.

So does morality exist or is what do and don't do?

Sometimes I can't shut my brain off at night! You know when you get a song stuck in your head and its in there even when you are doing other things? This thing happens to me at night only its not a song, its a t.v. show or something that happened during the day, and its not that I am worrying about it, it just replays over and over and keeps waking me up and I just can't get it out of my head! Help!

I watched a great doc today about 2 artists during the 18th century and how their paintings helped people discover their self worth and meaning. It has really opened my eyes to socialism and society. Sometimes I feel extrodinary lonely and ask myself what's it all about. Am I the only one that feels this?

I have a great boyfriend, he's never done me wrong, he's always looking out for me and telling me how much he love's me, but somehow that annoys me. I secretly hate it how is such a nice person ... I just hate it. I try to start arguments with him and he just DOES NOT get mad. I've called him every name in the book, insulted him, insulted his family (not directly to them, I just say sh!t about his parents, sister, etc) and when I do that he just goes "why are you being like that? why are you mad at me?".

I am always starting arguments with him, I try to push him as far as I can. I want to see him mad, but it never happens and that only makes ME more mad. Why am I like this? Why do I want to ruin my relationship? Do I have some sort of problem?

My bad dreams very very often include alien lights in the sky and extreme terror before I wake up. The feeling doesn't leave me often for a few days and have an irrational fear about this. Is it possible I will become one of those people convinced I was abducted?

On various occasions over the years, complete strangers have approached me and asked me (either directly or indirectly) if I was (A) a vicar (B) one of the 12 disciples of Christ (C) a trainspotter. All of them appeared quite serious.

The truth is, I was a railway worker when they thought I was a vicar, and Ive never been (B), but I have been trainspotting for 36 years now -so on that occasion they were spot on!

My friend is always getting mistaken for a doctor. He isnt one, but he does work in a hospital on the computers, so they were half right.

So my question to you is: Who or what do complete strangers think you are? Were they right, or miles out?

If anything, those yuppies should be looking up to me for the simple fact that I, a mature, responsible, hard-working individual is paying her OWN way through a Bachelor's degree in Biology. What baffles me the most is the fact that these people don't seem to have any amount of common sense of the way the world works, as though education and nice cars drop from the sky. For example, I'm asking you if you want fries with that because (you f'cking moron) my boss told me to upsell. To make the company more money. Because it's retail, and no one actually cares if you'll enjoy those fries or not. Cumulatively, the more people buy those fries, the more money comes rolling in. Your Philosophy and Women's Lit degrees didn't teach you this? Shucks. Anyone else have any pet peeves regarding these "lowly" jobs some of you may have worked or are working when it came to other people's attitudes?

I just joined color guard, I'm in band and I have a lot of things to do everyday (homework, exercising, practicing ect) and I usually end up procrastinating. How can I stop doing this so I don't have to rush everything?

Also, if someone can give me pointers on how to be more confident, that would be great.

Thanks!

my bf and I were watching tv. and my little puppy was playing with my sweater, just climbing up my shirt and pulling the strings. my bf thought that the puppy was humping my arm. He spanked the puppy's ***. I got very angry and screamed at him really loud and then slapped his arms.
I feel so bad for doing that, but he knows that I have anger problems. he should have not done that. Did I over react? wtf was I supposed to do?

I hate the emo look. It's not me. I wear normal comfy clothes. ex: cargo pants and a T-shirt or jeans, ballet flats, and my fav top, etc. I don't like black. I like light colors. I also don't cut myself.
but....
I listen to goth/emo, alternative rock, etc. (but I also like other music like R&B).
I'm always thinking of dark, depressing thoughts. I have nightmares of people cutting themselves in the chest and reaching in and taking out their hearts and stuff.
I don't cut myself but sometimes I just use a needle and cut the top layer of my skin (it doesn't hurt at all so I don't consider it emo). I don't have a bad temper. Infact, my little brother has anger issues and has to see a therapist and compared to him I'm extremely calm.

Fun fact: One of my friends is kind of the opposite me. She is kind of an emo poser. She dresses emo and stuff and acts depressed and listens to emo music but she makes people know she does these things unlike me. When we're alone she's very preppy.

Is there a way to achieve this? I've applied for a few jobs and I've been told to expect an interview for one of these in a couple of weeks time. The problem is sometimes I find it really hard to talk to people and convey whatever I'm trying to get across in an articulate and concise way?? I'm usually better with friends but sometimes in a situation where I have to speak in front of someone for a considerable time I suddenly become self conscious/tong tied and come across like an idiot! :-) (Err...like...mmmm...) I understand that communication is really important in most jobs and I'd like to make a good impression. I really don't want to let myself down! Please help, is it just confidence or is there more to it? If anyone could provide me with any tips/ideas, it would be really apprecaited, thank youuuu xx
