Why do some people blackout and others do not?
Blackouts can occur when a person's blood alcohol level rises rapidly, impairing the brain's ability to form new memories. Factors such as the rate of alcohol consumption, tolerance levels, genetics, and overall health can influence whether someone experiences a blackout or not.

A group of best friends are sitting at a round table in a restaurant. They're discussing a hot topic. One of the friends is sitting in the corner not talking. Most people would say this friend is timid, inhibited, and/or passive.
They would label this friend, "shy."
However, couldn't this friend be someone who is tired of talking when no one is listening?
Couldn't this friend be someone who has no need to prove their knowledge of the subject matter?
Couldn't this friend be sympathetic enough not to insult the intelligence of others?
Listen
People don't listen. It's rare for one to speak before another breaks through one's sentence with a rebuttal. If, by chance, one gets a complete thought out, others hear the words but only absorb parts that suit them.
Shy people hate to talk in vain. They would rather use the time and energy for constructive things and constructive people.
Learn
People talk a lot so everyone thinks they're intelligent. For them, it's never enough to know they are intelligent. They must prove it.
Shy people are content knowing they are intelligent, and have no need to prove their intelligence. They wonder if other's mouths get tired of babbling on about things. Their ears get tired of listening to the babble.
Understand
Ever hear of the phrase, "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all?" This is the motto of all shy people.
They would rather be silent instead of using demure insults or obscene language to get their point across.
Conclusion
So, you see, shy people have been misunderstood for decades. The next time a shy person is quiet, ask them, "What are you really thinking?" They may answer truthfully. They may answer with "nothing," in keeping with their motto. After this revelation, don't you wish you were shy?
((information taken from http://goinside.com/99/10/shy.html))
It is quite hard to explain why people are shy, there is no real way to explain. It is also part of being human, I am shy but I dont let it bother me too much.
When you imagine/plan how your wishes/goals will come true and you are not asleep.
There are lots of different reasons that people can be dirty. They could have a job where they have to work in a sewer or with human or animal waste. Others might not be able to shower often because they are homeless. And then there are those gross people who just don't care about hygiene or the fact that they smell awful and refuse to bathe, wear clean clothes, or try to smell nice.
Why does your mate want to see other people?
Honestly, that is just a whimpy way to break up with you. If seeing other people is not on your itinerary, tell them. Then make a decision. If you're okay with it, fine. That means you can see other people as well. It also means, they think they can call you up and see you when it's convenient. If it were me, I'd say fine, and never talk to them again. Find someone else, it's worth it. anyway they probably get bored going out with the same person shaggin them all the time!

How do you describe your self?

There are a number of mental disorders that can fall in the category.
- Autistic Spectrum Disease, Asperger's Syndrome, and Savants
They can be very smart, but in a limited field, and have difficulties with more general criteria.
There are several personality disorders that might be related.
Cluster A -- People who appear "odd or eccentric."
- Paranoid Personality Disorder
- Schizoid Personality Disorder
- Schizotypal Personality Disorder
Cluster B -- Highly egocentric people who may appear "dramatic, emotional, erratic."
- Antisocial Personality Disorder
- Borderline Personality Disorder
- Histrionic Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Perhaps of the above list, Narcissistic Personality Disorder fits best into the category of people with hyperinflated egos, however, most of the personality disorders involve the individual putting themselves and their needs separate from society's needs.

How do you improve self motivation?
Here are some ways to motivate yourself to do things:
- Give yourself a little reward. Make up something small -- like for every X minutes you do something you don't like, you'll do something else you do like for X minutes; or every time you do one chore, you get a star or X points, and when you have a total of Y points or stars, you can buy something you want, or go out and do something special.
- Set a time limit. Do whatever it is for 15-20 minutes, then take a rest break. If you're trying to motivate yourself to do chores or work that is always piling up, like housework or laundry, tell yourself you're just going to do 15-20 minutes. Often, just getting started is enough that you'll end up finishing the chore -- getting started is the tough part.
- Schedule it. Pretend the chore is a job -- put down a time to do the work every day, write it on your calendar, and pretend you're going to work! This way, you're more likely to take it seriously.
- Praise yourself. Motivation is a problem for everybody. Whenever you get something finished -- or even if you just get started on it! -- pat yourself on the back and step back to look at what you've done. It feels good to see how far you've come, or how much of the job you've done. Don't think "Look how far I still have to go" -- think "Wow, I've already finished that much!"
well the best way to kill yourself is to probably slit your wrist.Down the river not across the stream. But if you have a gun just shoot through your brain. don't miss or else you will die slowly. and try to go through your temple it will end faster. DO NOT JUMP OFF A BRIDGE you will just die slowly and painfully turst me. But don't kill yourself is it really that bad that you must tske your own life?? Think about your family...
First of all we need to understand that to err is human. We all make mistakes. We all take bad decisions. But its not the end of the world!! In fact its the start. A new beginning to analyze things from a new angle, to see the world with a different perception, with more knowledge and more experience of being screwed. Experience is the best thing that age gives you. And the best of improvements can be done from failures. Thus be on your toes and be open to learning new things in life.
Remember that there is a lot left to be experienced and be learnt for a great mind like yours ;)

What affect does advertising have on children?
Advertising and media does have an effect on children since many companies spend millions of dollars convincing kids that their product is the best and coolest thing out there, but what also lies in the way is the fact that it can also affects how kids look at themselves and can affect self esteem and image as well.
the above is a general idea and does not effect all children in the same way, depending on a child's primary and secondary socialisation and indeed the environment they have been bought up in will also effect how effect an advert is on a child; children from countries where advertising is shown to children are less likely to grow in to adults who believe entirely in an advert and therefore creates a much more consumer savvy market when said child reaches an age where they have a disposable income of there own.
it has good and bad effects.
How do you help your wife with depression?
My wife has depressionand Ican tell you there are different stages of depression , however, have a physician give her a questionnaire as to her severity of depression buy ifyou have already done this and she is on medication. at this point as far as I'm concerned by speaking with your physician and my wife all i can do is support her. Helping with depression is almost obsolete as far as my helping her. She also has bipolar , personality disorder, which aggravates the depression and my wife is on meds for that also not to mention the ever day hurt that may be associated with depression.. its not just mental its physical also .. read as much on this subject as possible to assist your wife , not her fault she has it , its either hereditary or due to medicine she has taken that caused this. just be there for her, its not a cake walk , but we married for better or worse , stick with it man and read, read , read to better understand the condition. my name is James ... send any thing to kaysefx5@yahoo.com subject help w depression. The above post was excellent. I would like to add two things in life that can cause depression in women. Shortly after having a baby and it's called 'postpartum blue' and treatable by her doctor, or if she should be going into peri menopause or menopause. Peri menopause is a change of hormones and can start as young as 35 years old (many cases of this) and she may have skipped periods, feeling lethargic, depressed, moody, angry one minute and happy the next. Menopause means a woman ceases to have her periods and can have hot/cold flashes, moodiness, depression, anger outbursts, can't make up her mind; sad one moment and practically bouncing off the walls with happiness in the next moment. Take your wife for a complete physical and get the doctor to give her a T3/T4 blood test for thyroid. Also have the doctor check her hormone levels (although these tests aren't always accurate) and if she has any missed periods to no periods she should tell the doctor this as well. Women get depressed going through postpartum blues, peri menopause or menopause and this has nothing to do with the regular mental ailments others have. Don't jump to conclusions and let the doctor diagnose. Go with your wife and be supportive. I gave my husband information on my menopause which he read and I was thankful he did and we worked through it together.
What are the signs of a low self-esteem?
"What are signs of a poor self image?" Causes of a poor self image How we think about ourselves, our self image, is largely determined by what others have said. The parents play a big role in this, but so do other kids. Remember that when you're young, you're wide open to suggestion (mind programming). I'm trying to show you that when you start young enough or gullible enough, you can be made to believe anything. Including that you're stupid, ugly, incompetent, unloveable, incorrigible, etc. And that program tends to stick, especially if you were in an emotional state. Now that you're older, you want to get rid of such "programs" which affect you at a subconscious level, often for the rest of your life to some extent. It is highly unlikely your poor self-image came from a single event. Usually many. author: Loren Parks, Psychological Research Foundation, Inc.
What is a difference between real self and ideal self?
These are concepts associated with Carl Roger's humanistic psychology theories. The actual self is essentially everything that we believe ourselves to be right now, and the ideal self is everything we feel we "should be."
How do school uniforms build self esteem?
From personal experience, I've found that wearing a uniform allows you to go to school with confidence in knowing that you can't be ostracized because of your clothing, which improves your confidence and self esteem. And if someone should insult my clothing I could simply explain to them that I am forced to wear this because of my school.
Why is important to help children develop positive self esteem?
because their self esteem can go down quickly since their so fragile. if their the middle child they either dont get any attention so they think you dont love them, or they always get teased by their siblings.
I believe self confidence means the measure of trusts one has regarding what he/she is cabable of accomplishing. Self confidence has to do with how "you" see and regard yourself as appose to self esteem which deals with how you think "others" see and regard yourself.
Why do some wives wants to know all the details of their husbands affair?
ANSWER:
It depends on individual whether or not she want to know what happen and how. It's not unusual but its normal for a wife to know what he did with her after all this woman took her place and her husband help. There are some wives that will not stop until she knows what and how the husband treated the other woman, and this includes me. And there are some they rather not know about it especially if they will work on their marriage. Why, it will destroy what ever they can fix. So just remember it is noy unusual for you to ask your husband all the details of his affair, after all you are the wife and it is you who got hurt. But one thing you need to do and remember, do not beg to your husband, just in case he told you that his tired of you nagging about what he shared with his mistress.
