Do I still have eating disorder behaviors?
I was anorexic for about 2 years in high school. I recovered by my own free will and the realization that I did not look how I wanted to when I was extremely thin. I now eat what I want but find myself having the eating disorder voice in the back of my head that had been gone for some time. I am always keeping track of what I eat, and working out. I feel like at any time I can start fasting and drop 20 lbs very easily. I don't want to, because I don't want to lose some of the curves I have, but I hate other parts of my body, like my muscular thighs. Is it true once someone suffers from an eating disorder it can always happen again? I don't want it, as I don't want to be focusing on myself so much. I just want to be free from thoughts focused on my appearance. I am a dancer in college, focused on entering the professional world so appearance is a big thing, and the mirrors don't help.

Is this behavior a sign of a personality disorder?
My brother has a very unique personality. He is very intelligent he makes excellent grades and is well on his way to achieving a BS in chemistry, but he is incredibly spacey. It was raining once and I went to pick him up from class and instead of taking shelter under the roof he stood in the middle of the sidewalk in the rain for a solid 20 minutes. We painted the house half a year ago and he just noticed yesterday that it had been painted. He is incredibly naive as well and often trusts people and situations that send off clear warning bells for everyone else. He doesn't understand basic concepts, yet he can solve incredibly complex equations. He also has trouble in social situations and does not get along with new people when they are introduced to him. He was not interested in some developmental milestones like getting his license or a job and instead chose to shut himself in the basement and avoid people. I understand that it is not at all abnormal for some people to not enjoy social interactions and to be a bit scattered, but I feel like he has taken it to an extreme, and it is disrupting his life. I also worried that because he is so spacey he could potentially put himself in danger and not realize it. I was wondering if this was a disorder, is there a name for it, and should we seek help or is this common? Is there a way to help him become a little more perceptive? Thank you so much for your time.

Is this anorexic behavior?
So I believe I may be becoming anorexic. I am 5'5 and 112 pounds and 18 years old.Going to college I gained about 5 pounds and I wanted to lose that weight so I decided to cut eating fatty foods and sweets But now I find myself counting calories and limiting myself.I eat about 700 1000 calories a day. Usually I really force myself to reach 1000 but some days I struggleI am a dance major and I dance about 2 6 hours a day.I know I am thinner than the average girl my height. I can't help but to want to get skinnier. I always think about calories and I keep track of everything I eat throughout the day. I do not know how to stop this and it is the only thing I think about.It has been going on for about a month now. A month ago I weighed 119 pounds. Do you think I am anorexic and my good intentions of getting in shape went wrong?Um I'm pretty sure those who suffer from anorexic know they are anorexic because it becomes an obsession and a lifestyle.

Your thoughts on my wife's behavior?
I am a 45 year old married man, and I have two teenage daughters. There is a woman in our town let's just refer to her as Mrs. Jones in this post with children our girls' age who has been quite a handful to our family, and has been through a lot of arguments with my wife and her friends. Without going into it, Mrs. Jones has been pretty bitchy.Well about a week ago, she died of some kind of brain tumor that I had vaguely heard about a few times. On the weekend when our community received the news, I walked into my house and saw my wife and her best friend, who must have just gotten the news, cheering, jumping up and down and celebrating, and screaming things like, " The is dead " Yes, full on celebrating her death.I never said anything to my wife about it she didn't even know I saw her. How do you think I should handle this? It really bugs me but I don't know what good scolding her on it would do. My wife is not a mean person she is very nice and loving in general, and is overall a decent person. She just has a little bit of a short fuse sometimes, and is prone to hating people who really get on her bad side. She was never mean to this woman Mrs. Jones, and never said any of this stuff to her family just did in in private with her friends. Is this something that you think is forgiveable, or should I have some kind of long talk with my wife about it? Opinions please.

Wy do people with Aspergers syndrome have this "obsessive" behavior?
I myself have Aspergers syndrome. I always have something that I'm obsessed with. I get so intensely interested in it, that it is my " life" . And I can't stop talking about it xD this is a very classic syntom of Aspergers, why?? It is kind of good, I think... Cause without it, I wouldn't be so talented at things and have huge insight on beauty.

Is this a correct description of how behavior reinforcement works please?
I'm writing a paper and I want to make sure that I describe it correctly Both of my philosophy professor s answered my question of whether people are programmed and programmable with a Yes. My current understanding is that it basically works like this, at some point after conception, but before birth, human fetuses begin to perceive and be mentally affected by their environment which includes some sounds from outside of the mother s body where it lives . The current understanding in the academic field of Behavior Modification is that we are basically a blank slate at some point, and then an environmental stimulus enters into our awareness in which we must then decide to act on and we have to decide how we will react.We decide how we will react based on reward vs. punishment here s how it works Say, for example, a person is walking down the street and suddenly sees a dog for the first time ever they have never seen or heard of a dog before , what happens during this first ever encounter sets the stage for how the person will view dogs and interact or not interact with them in the future.Ok, so the person is walking down the street and then suddenly sees a dog for the first time ever if the dog aggressively barks and scares the person, he or she registers this aggressive behavior as scary, and therefore punishing they will be scared of dogs in the future and likely to attempt to avoid contact with them, or run from them when they do see one. So the dog s behavior or action affects the person s behavior, or reaction. And conversely, if the dog were to instead behave in a friendly and fun manner, the person would register and label its behavior as fun, and thus rewarding they would be likely to react favorably to encounters with dogs in the future.Say the first dog that the person ever encountered behaved aggressively and so the person chose to run away from it. If the person s decision to run from the dog saved the person from any further encounter with the dog possibly being bitten , then the person s decision to run would be reinforced by the fact that it worked it got them what they wanted away from the dog and safe from injury . It s the same type of reinforcement that goes on when we lie about something and get away with it our behavior of lying is reinforced because it in fact helped us to escape punishment.Ok, so in our example the first dog behaved aggressively, and thus the person now hates dogs. Two months after that first encounter that person has his or her next unexpected and unavoidable encounter with the second dog he or she ever sees if the second dog behaves aggressively towards the person, and the first dog did too, then they will become even more terrified of dogs, and they will probably run away from the second dog too because avoiding being bitten by the first dog by running away worked for them . If the person chooses to run from the second dog, and their behavior does in fact result in them escaping punishment being bitten , then the behavior of running away is again reinforced each time a behavior gets a person what they want, it is reinforced, and the person gets even more of a feeling that the behavior they chose was the correct one so they are even more likely to chose to behave in the same way the next time they encounter a similar situation.Conversely, if the second dog displays friendly and fun behavior instead, then the person will become less afraid of dogs then they were after the encounter with the first dog, and they may not chose to run away from the second one. If they don t chose to run away, and in fact stay and end up having a good time with the dog, then the idea of dogs being horrible monsters becomes less generalized, and the person realizes that not all dogs are scary beast to be avoided. Thus, a new behavior is reinforced, a new way of dealing with the situation is seen to be correct the person may now be thinking something like, dogs are sometimes vicious, but sometimes friendly sometimes I should probably run, and sometimes not.And so that is the basic way in which we develop our behavior it is through a phenomenon called reinforcement. The behavior that gets reinforced the most is that which is most likely to occur the next time the person encounters the same phenomenon again.This is why teachers often give grade school students that display good behavior gold stars the intention is to reinforce the desirable behavior so that it is more likely to happen again. And governments use money as a way to reinforce the cyclic behaviors of working and purchasing and staying busy Employers frequently employ variations of these so called tokens in an effort to control behavior just the same. Thanks so much for any help

Could anti-depressants be responsible for her behavior?
My ex friend who broke off the friendship thought I posed as a guy. She used to be on anti depressants for years.

Esp her crazy idea that I was posing as a guy? Which is by far the craziest idea and she believed it so much she ended the friendship with me

Thoughts vs. Behavior, good person or bad?
I've read in many different places that a person is what a person thinks..but what if they act differently? Then what makes the person, the behavior or the thoughts. For example If mentally, the person is insensitive, unsympathetic, and sadistic, fantasizes about torture to relax and fall asleep, thinks about murder without intent to do anything , and is very anti people, etc.but behavior wise, is respectful, polite, very family oriented, tries not to hurt anybody's feelings, would never hurt anyone, etc.No, I don't know anyone like this, it's just an example. I'm just looking for opinions. Would you describe this person as a good or bad person?
