I'm a 19 years old male from the Netherlands. I'm in my first year of studying psychology at the university of Utrecht, and plan to major in clinical psychology. I'm interested in nearly anything, so I know a little something about a lot of different subjects. My areas of expertise lie in philosophy, religion and spirituality.

Iused to be a very fun guy a few years back
a chatterbox and full of fun talk but since my
olevels exams two years back i cant seem to think of anything to say to anyone. I want to talk to people and stuff but its like my mind is completely empty.
Its not like ive gone slow or something, cause i
can still study good and think on anything on anything i want. But the spontaneous thoughts that came in by themselves all the time they're just gone. Does anybody know if this is a disease or something? (link)

I don't know. You could have changed, matured perhaps. But maybe you just spend too much time studying and other intellectually straining activities? If you're stressed out, pre-occupied or just using your thinking machine too much, you might be too tired to be spontaneous and funny. I hope this helps.

This has never happened before but lately I've started to have real trouble recognising people - sometimes somebody i know will come up to me and it'll take me a minute to work out who they are (obviously embarrassing!). The other thing that's happening is I keep on thinking I see someone I know (sometimes it's someone who couldn't actually be there, like they live on the other side of the country) and I really think it's them, but then I realise after looking at their face for a while, that it's not them. Any idea what's going on? Am i going mad?? (link)

Well, your description could point to a lot of different things. You could be really pre-occupied (in love perhaps?) or stressed, it also could be a physical problem caused by genetics, taking a blow in the head, a virus, or use of alcohol or drugs. If you're using alcohol or drugs I'd advice you to stop that for a while to see if your condition improves. If you've been experiencing this condition for more than 4 weeks I would also go see a doctor. Seeing a doctor is never bad (unless it's bad for your wallet, I know it is in some countries).
