Hello Everyone:
I am reading a book about OCD and the author makes the statement that the psychological community doesn't really know where the OCD comes from in older people who never showed signs of this disorder before.
It comes from the obvious fear of death that enters into everyone's mind as they grow older. If you react correctly to this fear, which I am trying to do, it will motivate you to do something valuable with the time that you have remaining here on earth.
Even though I fully intend to live until I am at least 100 years old, nevertheless that fear is changing me from the shy introvert that I used to be into the somewhat arrogant over-confident individual that I have become.
Keep in mind of course that what some people call over-confidence can be a healthy degree of confidence when all is known about the situation that is occurring.
It is altogether right and proper that I am having so much trouble getting anyone to believe what I have written. After all, who would suspect that someone who never even went to college would usurp the authority of those who did go to University to further their study of psychology.
I just finished watching a DVD about Winston Churchill. In his later years, he said that he had been given more honorary University degrees then passing grades that he achieved as a student. Here goes some more arrogance from me. I feel a kinship with Winston Churchill.
