Hi guys, well educated psychology bro here. AMA regarding making it. I'll be here for about an hour

>well educated
>psychology

lol
is this bait?

How many standard deviations above average does Raven have?

I am currently civil engineer student while being totally shit at math my entire life. Calc 1,2,3, differential equations, vector calculus, linear algebra, I did em all. In my 5th year currently (gonna take me 6 years to graduate because I failed a few classes along the way). You'll make it. If I can do this, anyone can

I'm actually kinda afraid of maths, but lately i been thinking of getting into a career like CE or computer science because i hate being broke all the time and if i go into literature or translation i'm going to become homeless by the time i'm 40...i could try to go back to law school thou, but i hated that shit.

Do people with DID often confuse positive feelings towards someone as love?

>have DID
>in a steady relationship
>often swing between loving and not loving her
>have a client
>1 year of training, completely platonic
>hang out with her
>she has DID as well, she is very much like me
>make an actual friend
>these feelings come and go about her being more than a friend
>confess
>she does not reciprocate
>cry for 10 minutes and now Im completely over it

Emotions.exe has stopped working

I do not know why u fantasize about it just by receiving the fact that you do, but we often fantasize about things that we would never want to do in real life. If you really want that, then go for it but I don't recommend doing something that will actually harm your health.

It's an evolutionary and a traditional thing. It's about both protecting your tribes child bearers and trying to produce off spring. Also the history of social norms.

How do you overcome rejection from girls?

Just think if those 4 more shots/beers are actually making your night better. Is being not able to control yourself and not understanding shit worth it? In my opinion the best is to have a nice buzz going on through the night without losing my capability to be social and defending my self. Also it makes the hangover easier.

Why am I so timid and soft-spoken even after getting strong? I feel like a little boy in a grown mans body

You'll probably not be able to bang your students without legal problems and fucking your shit up in the long run. If civ eng really interests you and you think you are ready to do it for the rest of your life then go for it. The goal is to make enough money to live like you want to, in a job that you enjoy while having time to your other passions.

what can you tell me about stereotype threat? besides the fact that it is a massive meme

i have to write an essay on it

Not sure about that but I think that in your case there are just other things and feelings distracting your feeling of love. I think you are better than me in judging if you love her.

heres how DID works for me btw

>emotions.exe has stopped working
>would you like to use the troubleshooter
>possible solutions: you like her more than a friend
>continue with this suggestion?
>reopen emotions.exe
>confess and be rejected
>be fine after
>emotions.exe has stopped working
>did I even like her

kek, pathetic

By not caring too much about the girls you approach in the first place. Everyone gets rejected sometimes and it is just life, the best you can do is just accept it and try another girl.

Your appearance has little to do with your character. Your character is shaped by your mind, experiences and your surroundings. Of course improvements in your appearance may make you more confident but that is not always the case. I'd say you should just get out there and force yourself in new situations and get out of your comfort zone.

...

why are you so autistic to want to make this post?

How do i stop having panic attacks which make me either shitting till diarrhea or puking till only stomache acid ? I'm 26, have been doing it since i was about 8-9 for all kinds of situations. This morning i did it before a job interview. The moment the situation is actually happening. I feel fine.

Thanks for nothing, man a kid could give me that answer, I was expecting more from a "well educated psychology" moron
You may not care about the girls you approach but if 10 rejects you in a row it starts to affect you regardless.

hahhaa 10 rejects in a row??? Holy shit did just fucking kill yourself it's obvious you are a beta and probably ugly as sin too.

Just fuck off you miserable, cunt. Most people hate you and you would get cheated on a lot anyways.

Now that's a well educated psychology level answer

Psychologist is a protected and licensed title that requires six years of university education to obtain.

How do I change my voice to become more manly? I automatically revert to a higher and more natural register, when I'd like to speak lower, deeper and with my chest.

Not op, but also a psychologist doing my clinical specialization. Solution is going to therapy. Alone you can't condition yourself out of this. I suggest you try cognitive-behavioral therapy, it has a high rate of success for phobias and panic disorders.

How do I stop paying heed to winning other people's attention/affections? More specifically girls.

I try to live my life in a way that pleases me first and foremost. Yet I still find myself trying to impress others, even if it's just so I can reject them.

Like I want to be the guy that girls want, but won't have. I don't want a relationship, and I can deal with not getting sex on a steady basis (frankly I have too many problems with sex to even consider that an option right now). But I want them to want me while they also know I don't want them despite me being flirtatious with them.

How do I stop this because it's fucking me up

>Life is too short to chase something that you will never reach
that's literally what everyone on Veeky Forums is doing

From your post it seems like you have trust issues. It's not that you want to please others and then reject them, it's just that you don't allow yourself to go further their initial attention. You may feel scared of showing more of yourself and fear to be treated badly. You need to find the courage to risk being rejected, no one can help you but you. By the way, being rejected is bad but it's not nearly as bad as you might think it is.

How do you cure introvertism and meet other people? How do you make yourself think that you are interesting enough to be worthy of talking to other people and become friends? My friend who is also a psychologist told me that a reasonable grief period about a breakup is about three weeks, longer than that is a disease condition. I can't forget her and it's been 6 months. Crying as I type this. How to cure that disease condition?

How to stop lying.

Serious user here: Why do I keep thinking about killing myself, how do I find my calling in life, how do I find happiness?

honestly user just graduated uni, have no idea what to do, dont get happy, alone, never really amounted to or done anything, no ambition drive or motivation- how do I get that?
Thanks

Hobbies and forcing yourself to be social.

You are upset because you literally do nothing.

I mean maybe it's a trust thing in that I don't trust someone else to let me live my life the way I prefer if we're together. I prefer my freedom, and my understanding is you sacrifice a significant portion of that when you enter into a relationship, so I don't want to deal with that.

But I admittedly do have trust issues with friends since I fully expect most if not all of them to drop out of contact whenever I lose their convenience. Happened before. Is happening now.

I've started cooking and running, and it's helping a bit, I still feel like offing myself though.
It's moreover purpose in life or what my calling is. Everyone I know is finding their groove/field/profession they were meant for and here I am listless and clueless with no pull towards anything.

Psycholigists dont give answer, they spark introspection. They respond with empathy and consideration.

The first post gave me cancer when he said she wont talk to you b/c she doesnt love you.

The truth is you know at least 5-10 reason she doesnt love you.

OP is a fraud and people like him make psychology a meme.

Stop looking for it and let it happen.

You will feel much better when you stop caring.

Grief over a breakup is likely to last longer if the relationship was intense and you didn't have ways to cope with the loneliness after it happens (maybe you don't have parent and friends support). Give it time, and learn to have hope in new relationships. And for the part of being interesting.. Just follow your hobbies and be good at it. You'll gather people who are similar to you and you'll be interesting to them. All of us want to be accosted but just don't focus on people, focus on what you truly want.

Do you think Milgram's study into obedience was ecologically valid?

>Psychology

Kek.... Might as well have a Women studies degree.

Hopefully OP meant Psychiatrist

>They respond with empathy and consideration.

There's more information I need from your background to realize why you have these suicide thoughts. How's been life in the last months? How the current relationship you have with your parents and friend? Is something off putting happened recently in your life? How long have you been having these thoughts for?

>I have no idea what I'm talking about, the post

Call me when you can prescribe pills faggot

I don't know what I want. This is one of the problems. No aspirations no nothing. I'm pretty smart and can get above average paying job with no problem. But since I don't have any wants in life since she left me I quit the job and just living on the savings doing random shit I think it will take my mind off.

>took a philosophy class this semester. Ama

Don't know about op but I'm posting answers and I'm a psychologist doing my specialization in clinical psych

Please elaborate on your criticism. One thing is attacking pseudoscience and pop psychology (which, I agree, ARE limited and unhelpful) another is faulting the entire category and field like you do here.

Do you think Hobbe's theory of human nature is still valid?

> How's been life in the last months?
come off of volunteering at a camp great time, stressful stuff happening perosnally with those months though- mom finishing cancer treatment, uni's losing my transcripts and not replying to emails- realizing I dont have a purpose/goal in life

> How the current relationship you have with your parents and friend?
alright? slightly always on edge but usually we get along okay

>Is something off putting happened recently in your life?
stuff in general, realizing other people have direction and I dont and lifes dicking me around

>How long have you been having these thoughts for?
had them around gr.11-12 and they flare up now and again. this last year with graduating university has been the worst

How long since you broke up with her and how long have you been feeling like this? It seems you're having anhedonia and lack of energy, which may be symptoms of a depression phase you're going through. It's impossible to diagnose through the Internet though. If you feel this way and can't feel to re gain control of your life you may benefit from seeing a therapist.

I have plenty of energy and doing quite a lot of hobbies and am learning constantly new things because science excites me. But I feel that hobbies are just a way for me to get attention of others and to distract myself. I literally don't give a shit about anything and it is not important to succeed in anything because what's the fucking point. Finish university? Why, I can get a good job in programming without one. Go to work? Why I have enough savings for now. And as soon as I'm not occupied with something or doing something boring I feel sad as shit. If I don't have a project or something interesting planned for the day I just stay in bed all day long until I think of something cool to do tomorrow.

How does one not be depressed in the sight of American education?

Whatever I tell you is just my opinion with the few information you gave me.. It usually takes some meets to asses he patient's situation, so you get if my answer is lacking or not complete..

>stressful stuff happening personally with those months though- mom finishing cancer treatment, uni's losing my transcripts and not replying to emails- realizing I dont have a purpose/goal in life

Looks like you've gone through a lot of months of hardship. Your mums disease must have deeply influenced the climate inside your family, and even if you struggled to keep your university career steady, you've had plenty of other thoughts disturbing you and taking away attention, this is normal, but you feel like you've lost control over your present and future. If the situation with your mum stabilizes and you manage to put your energy in your career again, achieving small success one after another, you'll re gain confidence in yourself and that things can go alright in the future.

Maybe you need to re evaluate what you want in life. When we're about to finish university, a new landscape is in front of us, and this is happening to you too. You need to stop and seriously consider what you want to do. Take consciousness of this, take your time but truly try to know yourself. Once you've done this, you'll find the motivation to stick to the path you chose

appreciate the thought. it's comforting to read that you think there's hope. I'd like to know what my future is or which direction to go, but I'll take the small victories for now I suppose while I keep the thoughts at bay.

is law school right for me?

some details
>go to a top 10 law school
>was really looking forward to it
>first year rolls around
>become depressed second semester, not knowing it was depression
>try to kill self, get police escorted to psych ward
>take medical leave of absence
>come back to finish second semester
>nothing feels right, still hate it, only thing i look forward to is lifting
>still entertain thoughts of suicide, depression is marginally better than last year
>currently taking two forms of SSRI

is it law school? or is it the depression? or is the depression from law school? or will i still be depressed even if i chose a different path?

Hi op. How do i stop this pattern of thinking im not enough? The more fit ive got the more I lost the sick cunt in me. I even have problems looking strangers into the eyes. Or when I talk to people i feel aware of what the person is thinking about me and i suddenly feel tight and lost in thoughts. I guess im insecure but I just want to not give a fuck yet it feels like its getting worse.

How do I get rid of my burning rage at women for treating me like shit, insulting me and mocking me my entire life for things I never chose. I'm tired of living a life of hatred, each morning it gets heavier and heavier out of bed. I also think I'm developing Elliot Rodger syndrome becaue yesterday on the train I saw this teenage girl with her nigger boyfriend and it made me so angry my body was shaking the entire time.

I'm not trying to bait, but the last thing never happened before. I didn't care about IR relationships but now I do and it really bugs me.

I've been also trying to leave places like /r9k/, wizardchan, /r/incels etc etc but they keep drawing me in because I feel like they're the only places/people who understand me.

I really DO want to become a better person but it's so hard senpai. I do dislike being me. I've also start having strong ""negative"" thoughts about women in public and I think I'm developing Elliot Rodger syndrome.
