Hello guys, I have this problem which really affects me. I sometimes blush so much that my face goes boiling red! it is so embarrassing and I cannot make it stop. I blush like this when for example I have to do a presentation, when speaking to somebody new (when speaking to my new dissertation supervisor about my idea!), or when embarrassed.. I can feel myself heating up in the face and I try to calm down to make it go away but I keep blushing and it gets so bad, and I can't communicate what I wish to when I am like that, so this is really affecting me. I know this sounds funny, but it really affects me and its been going on for as long as I remember, I'm in my 20's now. Any advice, I do try to calm down but that makes it worser because I'm trying.. Anyways if you could suggest something I would sincerely appreciate it Thanks guys, you do a good job. xxD |

Hello "D", Its funny how our past and how we view ourselves can show in so many varied ways. Some people can suffer from panic attacks or anxiety, some may go on to experience depression etc. In your case you may have confidence issues. All these "symptoms" have one thing in common, they are all due to previous experiences and how we as individuals react to the environment we were brought up in. In your particular case you are suffering from a mild case of anxiety. You are not a bad person and i would hope that you didn't have a bad childhood but something has stuck, either nature or nurture has left you with a challenge. It maybe one or all etc of the following, Authority, self esteem, lack of confidence, fear of failure/success. But you have to now start to believe in yourself. Whatever your fears are they will undoutably turn out to be irrational, The fear (the outcome) of making a mistake etc. Start to think in terms of "whats the worst that can happen" mindset. This will lessen the failure aspect and the outcome of making mistakes, the vicious loop which is so easy to fall prey to. Practice at beating this by putting yourself into as many "non important" scenarios so you can so building your confidence. As they say feel the fear and do it anyway! If I can help further you know where to find me! Keep smiling. :) Regards Comments :  that really made sense to me, thanku very much, reading it i could definetly relate 2some of the things u mentioned. your right,i definetly need to believe in myself more,my family say that to me.Thanks again4your kind help,will consider what u said next time i feel my blushing coming on! cheers!

My best friend of 9 years just walked out of my life like the snap of a finger. We are both in our 40's so that is somewhat juvenile. The situation is a big mess but I guess my question is if two friends are inseparable and basically have been for 9 years how can a person just cut emotions off and walk away or was it fake all along? |

Maybe the simple answer is in your question. To have been as close as you are suggesting can just be too close and maybe she/he needs a break and has decided that it isnt in their nature to prolong the heartaches? Maybe they know you so well that this would be your reaction, although it still seems a little harsh it may have been the only way? In all relationships there is no easy way to move on without hurting someone, but in reality this may say more about them and where they are in their lives and not about you as a friend. They could have met someone that has taken them by surprise, they may need to move somewhere etc. Give yourself some time, mourn the loss and confusions that this will generate but focus on keeping your perspective. Dont lose sight of your pirorities or let your life slip away just because of them. You are obviously worth more than that, and I dont really believe that they would want you to either! I hope in due course they will make contact and you will have the answer to this mystery, please let me know as well. :) Until then please try and live your life, stay happy and keep the good memories alive.

Is loving someone a decision or an honest feeling? |
| Question found in Psychology |
|
|
Its a Instinctive one, your descriptions above belay its complicatedness! :) As someone once said, you should only use your conscious mind for the simplest of decisions, like whether to have tea or coffee, or what top to wear. For all other decisions you should rely on the sub conscious. This is because the root of our instincts lie at that level, and if we trusted it a bit more then we would all be a lot happier. So my friend, if you are faced with a question and you are not sure what to trust, then trust your chemical heart which lies in your subconscious mind. I hope that clears that up.... :) (Ha ha) Comments : Interesting, thank-you.

Why doesn't a microwave ovens casing [body] become live when 2000volts passes through the diode and through the casing to reach the secondary windings? |
| Question found in Engineering |
|
|
The casing is double insulated, in other words the part of the microwave that uses the power is separate from the casing which is earthed. The other point is, although it is 2000 volts the ampage is a fraction of an amp so you would be unlikely to feel anything anyway. |

Discussion:
A good example is if you've ever gotten shocked by touching a spark plug wire. Lot's of voltage (thousands), very little amperage. |

When we get a glass of water, or fill up a bath, the water is clear, so why is the sea blue?? what makes it go blue??? |
| Question found in Science In General |
|
|
What colour is the sea at night? Even with a torch? All the colour that we see is due to the sun and how light reflects off different things, plants, cars even skin colour. Your glass or the bath are not large enough to warrant much reflection, having said that neither is a swimming pool. |

hey guys-great if you could help-I'm stuck in a rut, I want to carry out an experiment testing the placebo effect in aromatherapy- eg whether telling someone that lavender will relax them, happens because of a physiological effect or due to the fact they want this to happen and expect it to. I am just having problems with the DESIGN of this study. If I'm testing the placebo effect should I just use something like water in ALL the conditions, with the participants believing its lavender, or should I test their performance with a second group who have actually inhaled lavender. Can someone help!!???? please |

You may hit a problem with this experiment? How can you fake the Lavender smell? |

OK, my boyfriend always buys racing stuff, like collectors items off off eBay, and I never care. He spends a lot of money on it, but I have never gotten mad, because its his money. I looked at his eBay today, and he bought an item that cost 500 dollars. I kind of hinted it to him, and asked what he had bought on there the last days, and he lied and said nothing. I'm just wondering why he would lie about something that I wouldn't even get mad about? Which, I have told him several times I wanted a watch, and I ended up having to buy my own, so should I break up with him for lying to me about it, and not being able to spend a little bit of money on me, but a great amount of money on some toy? |
| Question found in People & Relationships In General |
|
|
No ask him the bigger question! Why is he spending most of his money, BUT not on you? Sounds like boredom, lack of interest in you, or he has an addiction. Regards |

I am a 52 yr old chap. Generally in good health, moderation in everything. Dont drink too much, don't smoke, eat well, fish, veg, fruit, walk a few miles at a weekend etc. However, just lately I have begun to feel really strong pains in most of my joints. These pains are more pronounced if I put pressure on the joint. Ie sit on one ankle whilst taking a photograph. This alone will lead to, when standing on the said ankle, pain that is such I can`t put it down on the floor, never mind weight bare!! It happens in my neck, wrists everywhere. My ankle is still aching 2 weeks later. I've not changed anything in my life recently, only for the better if anything. Does anyone have any ideas? I`m a walking disaster at the moment. Regards. Mr Payne. Ha ha!! No really! my name is that. x |

You sound fit and annoyingly healthy mate, but there is one thing that is changing which I'm afraid you have no real control over, aging! Get checked out by your doctor, just to be on the safe side but I suspect that taking some general vitamin supplements or even Glucosamine tablets may help you stay this annoyingly healthy for a long time to come. Take care |

My granddaughter is 4 and has had urine infections since she was born, urine tests come back every time with blood, white blood cells and nitrates and ecoli bacteria infection? |
| Question found in Health & Fitness In General |
|
|
Ecoli bacterium are usually from an infected substance. Not having access to all the history and the environment that she lives in makes it harder for me to give a precise answer. But I have to admit to feeling a little wary of the information that you have provided. I feel that your fears maybe on the right lines. For her to have suffered a urine infection for this long begs the question why? Is the common sense guidelines to self hygiene not being taught? Does she wash her hands before she goes to the toilet. Does she wash her hands before and after touching food? But she has not been taught any of this for 4 years?? Does she play outside, in a sandpit or garden. Is she being taught to wash her hands after she plays? I am concerned about the length of time she has had this infection for and I would strongly advise that it is investigated further, if I can be of any assistance either via email or on here please contact me. Regards |
