A:It is good and important that you recognise this as a problem. The various possibilities for this impulse and the behaviour needs to be understood by evaluation. It is best done by a consultation in person. I suggest that you consult a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist in your city. If you have any difficulty in locating one or identifying one, please ask your family to obtain help from your family physician to find one. I think it should be possible to identify the cause of your problem, which may be a diagnosable psychiatric disorder or a passing phase phenomenon of young age.
