Some guys will make up sob stories because they want attention. They lack love in the way that they want it.

What is an emotion that people often use to protect themselves?

Pretty sure it's anger.But another thing you can do if your in a tough spot and don't want people to know what your think just act emotionless. Keep your face straight like a blank piece of paper. If some one tells you something to make you cry imagine your wife/husband, kids, boyfriend/girlfriend, pets, good grades, just find that happy subject. And if they try to make you smile think of bad things. Like famine, drought, disease, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires. But that's just kind of random lol.Really what you need to do is just be your self. If you want to laugh, laugh. If you want to cry, cry. Smile, sob, scream, roll around on the ground. Don't hide yourself away. If you want people to like you then they need to like you for who you are. Not for you acting like some one else. After all... God made you an original, why die a copy?


Is it true if you were meant to be then you will be together in the future and why do people say this after breaking up with you and is it to give you hope because it just makes you feel worse?

No it isn't always true that's why you have to be careful with how fast you move in a relationship and what mistakes are made if any you wont always know if its true, not everyone ends up with who they should be with. Those are the lonely people who sit wondering everyday what if, or wishing they could change whats in the past. Dont let anyone take advantage of you either when they say that because they could be trying to make you feel worse bettering themselves inside or in their mind that's whats true and if it isn't hopefully they will realize it and wont end up calling you sometime down the road with a sob story but honestly that's a question you need to learn yourself im just trying to make it easier. .


Why do some girlfriends become difficult and act crazy?

== == * Women certainly can be a mystery and difficult to figure out, but then again, some men can be just as difficult. Women have PMS (their periods) and this is a time when they can become irritable, moody, burst into tears over nothing or even pick arguments. Hide! LOL There isn't much you can at this time of the month but duck! Some girlfriends are crazy jealous and this is not a good start in any relationship and it will only get worse so it's to the best interest of the boyfriend to let her know he doesn't like it (as long as he's not provoking the situation by flirting with other girls) and he should let her know he won't put up with it and will end the relationship. Some girlfriends can say one thing and mean another and you must have heard that quote, "Women have the right to change their mind!" It's true! You either love her enough to try to deal with it and if not you'll have to communicate your feelings to her and give her the choice of making a better effort of getting along with you. If not leave! * It has been my experience that most girlfriends 'become difficult and act crazy" if there has been a breach of trust in the relationship. A good question to ask yourself is whether you have been truthful in your dealings with your girlfriend. Are you hiding something because you are afraid of her reaction? Or, has she learned something about you that is causing her to mistrust you? Most people become 'difficult' when they are not given enough information to make an informed decision about their relationship. Is your girlfriend asking you for information that you are not prepared to give her? Please remember that trust takes a long time to build, can be easily broken and is difficult (but not impossible) to rebuild. Most girls - and women - do not suddenly 'become difficult and act crazy' ...they usually have some justification, at least in their own mind. If you have been up front and honest, then try talking to your girlfriend about this change in her behavior. Perhaps she has heard something from another person that is making her uncomfortable. Communication is the key to building trust and building trust is the key to a difficult and crazy-free relationship. Congratulations for asking the question in the first place and for being willing to explore avenues of resolving the problem! * My ex broke my trust and i was always afraid when I did not know where he was. Before this I trusted him and never minded where he was. He never reassured me that it would never happen again. * In my own experience, (I am a girl) I know exactly what you mean by difficult and acting crazy because I've been there and done that I'm not going to lie. I think its because girls become too overprotective and defensive at the same time . She's looking to see if you still care by constantly asking you to do things and talk with her (over protective) then she might come off a little mean when she isn't as nice as she usually is. ( This is because she is insecure to the fact of thinking you don't care and is being defensive to save herself ... ) she might seem to think that you don't care , so she wants to show that she doesn't care either or maybe she's just moody, but trust me if she's with you try to tell her that you love her and compliment her so she'll believe it. * It depends. Women are people, just like men, so they handle relationships in unique ways with varying degrees of success. However, if your sweet girlfriend suddenly changed personalities, there are a few likely answers. When people are dating they have a honeymoon phase, where they are infatuated and agreeable. After six to 18 months this wears off. 1)Your girlfriend might be showing her true personality, and if this is the case, the woman you knew was an illusion brought about by the bliss of courtship, and it's time to bail. However, it's possible you're just falling out of the honeymoon phase. If this is the case, you need to reevaluate how you feel over a fair length of time. Decide whether you really like your girlfriend or whether you just had the hots for her. Do this over a period of a few weeks and really think it through. 2) Somethings bugging her about you. Girls have a hard time dealing with a few issues in a relationship most of which revolve around infidelity. If you have ever cheated on her, you messed up, she's suspicious, and you need to confess. Maybe she'll break up with you, maybe she won't. Be a man and tell the truth. If you haven't cheated on her, then you have nothing to fear. Just approach her and note that she's seemed a little down and not as close to you lately, and ask her what is wrong. She might not tell you right away, because it's hard to express a lack of confidence in your partner, but insist that you are worried and concerned. Also, tell her that if she doesn't feel like talking about it right then, that's okay, but that she can come to you whenever and mention it later when she's comfortable. What this accomplishes is it shows that you care, and that you notice her. She'll tell you and you can ease her doubts and things will be well. 3) Something that isn't you is bothering her. Maybe she lost a big job opportunity, or a family member died. Maybe she's just depressed, it happens. Follow the steps in the above paragraph, but don't offer her advice unless she asks. Women are different from men in this degree. They want to talk about their feelings and they want you to understand how they're feeling. When you start suggesting things, and possibly interrupting her, she gets her feelings hurt, because it trivializes her feelings and capacity to work through these problems. If you suggest things, make them actions you do together. For example, if she tells you she's just been depressed lately, you can suggest that you and she go on a vacation together or have a picnic together. Also, a bit of clarification on PMS and periods. PMS is Premenstrual syndrome, which affects about half of all women. It can make women moody, but this is not true for the majority of women. Menstruation varies from girl to girl, and can range from not painful at all to completely debilitating, causing intense pain, nausea and diarrhea. Also, don't attribute a girl's feelings to PSM or her period. People don't feel new emotions because of PSM or menstruation, but they're more susceptible to feelings they already have. For example, if your girlfriend just moved and is desperately homesick, she might seem fine 3 weeks out of the month and sob herself to sleep each night of the fourth week. She didn't suddenly start feeling lonely, she's just couldn't maintain her stoic exterior. It's a bit like being drunk in that respect. If a girl is having a hard time they are looking for kindness, not judgement. Show that you care and love her when she's upset, but make sure she's the right one for you. * It is true that everything can't be blamed on a young woman's PMS (menstrual time), but, indeed many young women go through some major hormone changes. it is much better to practice good communication skills to find out the reason why she is acting out of character.


What is reverse conditioning - Is it the opposite of behavioral conditioning?

To answer this question we need to look at the concept of conditioning first. Conditioning is a learning process where an individual, whether that is a human being or an animal, learns a reflex to an external stimulus. The reaction gives a reward in some way. e.g. a child that wants its mother's attention can do so by yelling at her. The mother then wants the kid to stop yelling and gives the child attention. Doing so learns the child that as a reward to yelling it gets mommy's attention. Yelling however is not a social accepted means of communication. So reverse conditioning this behavior could be that the mother spanks the child when it starts yelling. Since the child then still gets attention it will most likely continue to yell, even though the "reward" is a negative one, it can still be interpreted as "getting attention". So this way most likely will not work. Another way of "unlearning" this behavior is completely ignoring the child when it starts yelling. This requires some control over your own behavior. Especially when a kid yells at mom in a supermarket, throws itself to the floor and cries like the end of the world is near, you need to stay firm. When the child then becomes aware that no matter how hard it yells and cries it will not get the attention from the mother it will maybe sob for a while but it will eventually come to mommy and ask in a different, more acceptable, way for attention, e.g. simply asking. The mother then can answer the question/requst of the child. If mother keeps that attitude of ignoring the yelling and replying to the normal question the child will then learn that yelling doesn't give the wanted reaction (it is ignored) and that asking a normal question WILL give a reward (a positive one) and thus it will use that strategy in the future. This is not much different from animals. In dog training several years ago it was a normal way to "punish" the dog for misbehavior. However, this punishment was a "reward" as well. The dog did get attention from its boss. In todays training methods the positive approach is more effective. When a dog does something it is not allowed to do it is ignored. As soon as it behaves the way we expect it to do we reward it. We can give the dog a small snack, or stroke it or show our enthusiasm... This can be combined as well. An example from my own training-method is the following. One dog owner came to me with his german shepperd. The dog was quick to attack other dogs, even if those other dogs did not do anything. a short observation learned me the introductory behavior of his "biting mood". The look in his eyes, the way the tail went down, the physical tension et cetera. I also learned that the owner of the dog started yelling at the dog as soon as he started biting. This angry yelling is interpreted by dogs that the pack-leader is also angry and agrees with the behavior. So that is an encouragement for the dog to continue his biting behavior... after all, the pack-leader (dog owner) does agree. (from the POV of the dog). I took the dog on a leash (giving me control) and brought him into my pack (I have ten dogs). As soon as the shepperd showed introductory behavior that he was about to bite I would give him a short warning (a deep growling "OY!") and a short but strong pull on the leash, taking his attention away from what he was about to do (bite). As soon as the dog relaxed I complimented him and gave him a small reward. I had to repeat this several times before he got the hang of it. MIND YOU: The order is important here, a vocal warning followed by an unpleasant experience (pulling the leash) and a reward for good behavior! I then put an e-collar on him, so he could run freely in a restricted area with some of my dogs. As soon as he was off the leash he started the behavior again. I gave him the vocal warning, immediately followed by a short shock through the e-collar. When he relaxed I once more complimented him and rewarded his good behavior. After several repetitions the vocal warning was enough. The dog owner was a bit harder to train. He was certain that he was right in his yelling to the dog... Typical human behavior, if something doesn't work try it again, but harder this time, ignoring the fact that the first time the behavior did not bring the desired result...
