What should I do if it depresses me to see that my friends on Facebook have everything? I don't have a huge sum of money, marriage, travel, good memories and happiness. How do I come out of feeling bad about myself for being broke with everything?
I have been in the same situation as yours. I used to feel so bad looking at my feed seeing all those people having so much fun but I am sitting here in my room with dirty clothes and uncombed hair. This is the period where half of my friends have gone to US for higher studies and boy oh boy my feed was flooded with pictures of their first Dunkin Donuts to road trip to JCPenny. All those check ins and all those irritating selfies got the worst out of me . I felt so worthless because they are out there in another country having so much fun but I am stuck here.Now do you really know that they are having fun ? Do you know what they are going through? Not everybody's life is filled with happiness and parties. For every Yin there is a Yang.Then I realised I don't even have to feel bad for such things because I don't want to be a part of such callous projection of my own life.You are comparing your practise session with your friend's highlights. Now isn't that unfair to do to yourself. You have your wonderful and awesome life to take care . All those new wonderful things to try out and innumerable number of things to learn. Yes that's where my thirst of knowledge started . I wanted to learn and know as many things as possible. Starting from how to sew a shirt to why do people in space have velcro in their pants. I know that Facebook has become indispensable in our lives so de-activating is pretty much out of scope because you have to use Facebook to stay in touch with your relatives and your long time buddies. So I suggest you to try this out.Go to your Facebook friends list and unfollow all those people who were merely your acquaintance , specially all those selfie-obsessed people.Follow nice fun pages like 9gag, some news channel pages.(I usually follow Food related pages :P)And Voila now you have a curated feed of all the things that you like the most and from the people who really matter to you . Now that's the reason why you should even use Facebook ,for SOCIALISING not for SELF - OBSESSION. Check this answer out and you will feel you took the right decision ditching Facebook.Nivedita Muthusubramanian's answer to How is an upvote on Quora better than a like on your Facebook status update?Now happy learning!
How do I find out why my autistic 13 year old only seems to befriend older kids? Her therapist says it’s normal in autistic kids who crave protection, not an equal peer friendship. If that’s why, I worry my daughter is too dependent on other people.
Here I will have to respectfully disagree with your daughter’s therapist. As an Autist, with two Autistic children, we generally tend to prefer older people because they are more our peers intellectually than those our own age, or younger people. Your daughter is at an age where many girls are talking non-stop about boys, boys, boys, clothes, makeup, boys and boys. She may very well be totally uninterested in these topics and prefer more intellectual topics or simpler topics (in which case she would befriend younger people).For myself, it wasn’t until I was in my late 20’s that I started to make friends amongst my own “peer group”, but by then, of course, the definition is wider.My daughter has no friends amongst her theoretical “peer group”, and prefers either younger or older people, generally for the aforementioned reasons. Her way of thinking and being is far more cerebral than that of her own age group, and she has little interest in boys, makeup, clothes, etc., so to her, having to be friends with girls her age would be nightmarish.My son was the same.Talk to your daughter; ask her why she prefers the company of older people. The answers might surprise you!
I need info on repressed memory...I remember being molested as a child???
I hope no one picks on you or gives you answers like, "You're making this up." The reason the memories had been repressed is for your own salvation. If you hadn't repressed them you wouldn't have been able to cope as a child. Often these memories come out when a person is older and feels safer in their lives. Then the child within feels safe enough to release some of her/his pain. I'm so sorry. Good luck to you. Stay in counselling. Also, the reason you don't remember anything before third grade is because you were abused and your mind just blocked out the uncle's rapes and before the uncle's rapes. Perhaps he started earlier than you even remember?
Is it theoretically possible to dream someone else's memories?
Yes, possibly, because time is reality which merely changes shape. Dreams: Strange re-enactments of subconscious memory related to our daily lives and/or repressed memories relived. It is also defense mechanism of ours to predict and hypothesize scenarios, and/or day-dream scenarios which may also be thrown in the mix. (And/or perhaps even previous lives, or the lives of others dredged up from the vast abyss of subconsciousness - Which is also The realms of psychic phenomena) If you've ever experienced realities while in lower levels of consciousness/sleep which are inescapable situations/nightmares. (Realities are different than dreams, even life it's self in the waking state is reality) These are malevolent beings. There is also the incubus and succubus of which I have never encountered. Then there is sleep paralysis. For me, sleep paralysis is a clue. You dream you have to wake up from the nightmare your in, but actually dreamed you woke up in the same nightmare from which you had to awaken from again. Spiritualists believe we can awaken further from our awakened state, because when we're awake, we are just in an extension of the dream state. (But of course this takes much conscious effort, look within and not outwardly) Quotations from The Bible a Mystic and a Sage. Ps. 17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. “Sleep not"; "Awake, for you know not the hour" George gurdjieff (September 26, 1898 – July 11, 1937) He who is forgetful of the Self, mistaking the physical body for it, and goes through innumerable births, is like one who wanders all over the world in a dream. Thus, realizing the Self would only be like waking up from the dreamwanderings. Sri Ramana Maharshi (December 30, 1879 – April 14, 1950)
What is your best and worst memory of the decade that passed ? 2000-2009?
Worst: Half of life is f***ing up and the other is dealing with it, or as Winston Churchill said: "If you're going through hell, keep going" and the best and most memorable is when you will encounter an episode in life that is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away. edit: Have had plenty of the worst and a few of the best! @ Diana, I agree, love has got to be one of the best memories but it's so confusing, It feels like being in heaven but can hurt like hell... However, I wouldn't be without this most beautiful of dreams and the worst of nightmares! @ Allan D, Thumbs up for your candour! @ Totally Blunt, I agree with your last comment and always like to believe that my glass is half full rather than half empty. @ Oh Diana mou, don't knock this thing called insomnia, this is when you know you are in love because the reality you yearn is no longer a dream and that sharp intake of breath confirms it all!... I was outside at 2.30 in the morning taking photographs of my snow laden car and the garden.......It was magical! @ Rat, You have a discerning eye! lol @ Airpole, Lovely to have you back!...They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder and much as I hate to admit it, I have actually missed you not being around, stay with us my friend, you may get to like it AND I promise to do my best and not be so "caustic" as you have often said I am AND to behave myself, lol...xxx @ Airpole, I said I would try but even with your very first responce you want to change my name (no chance) AND you are suggesting that I am now a dog.....lassie! @ Airpole, agapi mou.....not! How can I not comment on your answers when I find them irresistible and as for your doubts about ever seeing me in person, well, hold onto that thought as you are right. Athens/Corfu is not big enough for both of us there at the same time!...x @ Airpole, Unlike a lot of things, snow melts! @ Dearest S.P.M I am so sorry for your lose, your simple words make me feel your heartache. We too recently lost a four year old member of our family.
14 year old girl really really bad memory and concentration??!?
omg, that's weird. you should see doctor my cous use to write a note for herself
Is it normal to have a bad memory at 19?
Wow that’s a long question but I went ahead and read it all…Anyway here are my two cents on it. There are several factors that can be affecting your memory: Yes, traumatizing experiences can cause you to block some memories but not usually your short term memory. Medication can effect your memories. You might want to Google the side effects of the medications you are taking. If your meds have a side effect of memory lost you might want to talk to your doctor about changing your meds to something else. There are several types of learners and styles of learning. How you learn and how your friends learn may be different. It doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with your memory only that you learn different. Something else to consider is that very few people remember more then 1%-2% of there life…don’t believe me? Call up the smartest person you know and ask them what they were doing two Wednesdays ago at 3:36 P.M. My guess is they wont have any idea. If you still want to increase your memory you can easily do so by teaching yourself HOW to remember stuff. You could start Here: http://learntobeabetterperson.com/Increase_Your_Memory.html Most people never learn how to learn and are surprised how much they can remember with a little training. Hope that helps and good luck!
