I am at a low point in my life.?

Listen man i dont want to be a douch or anything but it seems to me that you need to stand up for yourself a little more a lot of people expect things to be given to them one of the biggest examples is asking God to help them with a situation that only they themselves can handle, i came from an extemly abusive family like yours and i couldnt do anything about it while i was there but when i got out i was happy, although it did mess with my head when i though of why it was only me who got messed with in my family, i know your pain man trust me, I started going to a therapist and i got perscribed an anti depressant, and it really has helped me a lot, when you say that you cant enjoy anything anymore your just giving up on yourself, do you really think that anyone would care if i wasnt enjoying anything anymore? no but i would, you need to get help from a therapist or something man, do what you have to do and give it time, trust me you will eventually come out of that state and be a whole different person, you'll be more fun, happy, and better off take my advice for it and get help before its too late... p.s. dont let other people tell yu about joining a club or anything because that doesnt work and stop looking for God to save yu, you have your own life and God is always with you in your heart and in your consious

Why did so many voters deny that they voted for Obama because he is black ?

Why did so many voters deny that they voted for Obama because he is black and then proudly boast " We needed to elect a black President now and I am soooo proud that I voted for the black candidate " ?

Is it true black people on average have more babies than everyone else?

It is a stereotype, not all black people have a lot of children. I work as a counselor at a pregnancy center that deals with unplanned pregnancies and I can tell you, I see more white women who are very young, unmarried and have 3+ kids.

What's his deal. some help?

my boyfriend of 8months...Hes been through a lot. I went through it with him. Lets start before we started dating. He told me i was pretty every now and then, tell me sweet things. His sister died a month after we started talking. He was very distant to the point he pushed me away, but I remained by his side to support him. we got passed that. 4 months later we started dating. He was still very sweet and what not. but now hes getting kinda of reclusive with his feelings. He doesn't say the things he used to say. I really do like him alot. And i'm willing to stick with him. I just want some opinions as to why the cold all of a sudden. he won't tell me how he feels about me even when i ask. Kinda worrisome, but a lot of people say thats normal. I dont know what normal is.

My dad is so annoying that I want to kill him?

okay first of all, don't die or kill him, its not going to solve anything. I know what you are going through, there were many times when i was extremely upset at my parents and felt the same way, my brother is smarter than me and it seems like he can do no wrong. I promise you it gets better when you get older, you just need to wait until college when you can get out of the house and be on your own and tension will lessen. Don't go and do something irrational that will stay with you for the rest of your life, it could be a lot worse, you are not getting physically abused, you have food, clothes, a place to live. I know it's difficult but just hang in there and try not to argue, it doesn't get you anywhere.

Am i getting too jealous or is there something i should be worrying about?

Okay. I sometimes get jealous when my girlfriend hangs out with other guys because of the whole protective thing. But recently, my girlfriend has been hanging out with 2 of her guy friends, her and the two of them. Now, both of them are geeks, and seemingly unattractive, but it still makes me wonder if shes doing something behind my back. One reason is that one of her friends she was hanging out with was boasting he could last an hour and a half about sex, and she told me she was walking past him when she heard it and she said 2 hours. She said that her guy friend said that hes jealous of how long i can last, since she mentioned 2 hours to him reffering to us. It makes me wonder if she said that because she wants to instigate something to him or what? Another reason im suspiscious is because she leaves for like 6 hours with 2 of her guy friends. Like today, she was talking to me on facebook, and i was mad because she hadnt responded to my texts in like 5 hours, yet she was on facebook on her phone. I asked her what she was doing, and at 10:30 at night, she was apparently on her phone listening to music while sitting on a slide in a park with two of her guy friends. I asked her why and how she finds it fun, and she said that just talking to her guy friends is fun. Maybe im worrying too much, but i dont see how you need to meet up with 2 guy friends in a park at night just to talk and listen to music. I told her if she wants to talk to them she can do it over a phone. Anyway, i asked her if she does anything with her guy friends she isnt suppose to, and shje says no, and i belive her. But maybe im worrying too much, but i just dont find it okay how she goes to parks with her firends just to talk. Should i question her again?

Catholics Works to Heaven?

I don't think you have the remotest idea what Catholic teaching or practice on this question is, do you?

If you can lose your salvation, what did you do to earn it?

As a Christian it is my understanding that we do not lose salvation we lose the joy of salvation by our sins. When we truly repent and renounce our sins and ask for forgiveness and mercy we regain the joy of our salvation.

The MCG has a rich history, can you name other grounds/stadiums that boast records or 1st times?

Brisbane's debut Test in 1928 is famous for also being Bradman's debut, also it was the first time any captain had declared in a Test in Australia and still the largest ever victory margin by 675 runs, and of course the first ever tied match in 1960

Why do all girls prefer to date white men in general?

Not all girls are like that. Your making a judgment based on less than 1% of them and that is not logical. White men are not better.

I'm very smart (not boasting), but still can't seem to get all As in school!?

i have an IQ of 150 and i'm pretty smart too, but i didn't get good grades this year because my science teacher sucked at his job. I guess if you study harder you can get straight A's

Should I tell my mom about sexual abuse from my brother when I was a kid?

I've pondered this for a while now, and would like to get the opinion of others. I am now a 27 year old mom of 2 (boy and girl) and this happened many years ago. I have 3 older brothers, the eldest being 16 years older than me and the other 2 are twins that are 5 years older than me. My father and 2 other brothers are wonderful, loving men who never did anything wrong to me, but one of the twin brothers started sexually abusing me when I was 5 years old on up to around 10 or so. I was always too afraid to say anything to anyone. Never penetrated me, but did expose himself and try and get me to touch him, dirty talk, fondling me down there and laying on top of me moving up and down. It always made me feel ashamed and I never did get up the courage to tell much of anyone other than my friends and even they acted like they didn't believe me. I was also sexually abused in the same manner by a few male cousins of mine. I've been suffering from depression and an eating disorder that has all but consumed my life and suffered from alcholism for quite a while (recovering alcoholic). I'm wondering if some of it could be indirectly caused by the fact that I never shared this with my mom, dad, other brothers or anyone else in my family. My other brother (the other twin) revealed that he was sexually abused by a neighbor as a child and now my mom acts like she gives him special treatment because he "suffered such a traumatic thing in his childhood" (which he did) but, what about me? I'm left wondering whether I should tell her or not. The guilty brother has been reclusive these past few years and having issues with his nerves, as I do, but he has a beautiful young daughter that comes to visit him sometime and it makes me worry for her because I don't know if he's changed now that he's an adult. My Mom loves him to death and puts him on a pedestal so-to-speak because he's intelligent/successful, etc.. If I were to tell her, I've no clue HOW she would react. What whould I do?? Mean-spirited comments will be reported. Thanks for any advice/support.

Is this a good stroy idea?

It'd be okay, if you were to spell story, mysterious, enough, unnecessary, connection, circumstances, sense, character, prey, epilogue, level, especially, and cough right. I would read it. But work on the grammar, though.

I got punched in the head 3 days ago and wondering about possible concussion.?

I accidentally bumped into a girl on the dancefloor and her boyfriend turned around and cracked me a full force punch into the forehead. I was a bit drunk at the time but it still really hurt and I was dizzy and disoriented. The following day the area was very sore to the touch and a heahache persisted as well. 3 days on the headaches have eased a little but i still dont feel myself and been reclusive with my mates and stuff. Im worried about brain damage and internal bleeding which i know is not helping with the headaches, but I feel like i would be wasting the doctors time if i went. I guess I think it's easier not to know of there's something wrong, but as I said the condition improved over the past day and maybe I just got a concussion that I beginning to get over. Plainly was just looking for any advice on how to get over feeling somehow less of the person i was before?

Jobs for Reclusive People?

What kind of jobs are best for reclusive people? Particularly people without a degree or experience in computers, science...average working class folk. And jobs that are available in this economy; and I know that's a big order, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm considered a 'nice person'; but I know myself well enough to know I'm just not a people person and never have been. Living in a society with employment based on customer service and "Good People Skills"...I can't stand it and I don't do well in those jobs. People like me can't change this aspect of our character and personality any more than we can change the color of our eyes. Advice please?

Why is there a stereotype that British food is bad?

I swear the people who came up with this had no idea what they were on about. We don't do much for presentation I'll give 'em that but after a long day there isn't usually something much better than a roast. Taking a stroll by the seaside, fish and chips goes down so well. Then you've got things like scones, cream, and jam, apple pie, and loads of different types of cake. There's more to it than that but I don't see why it's been labelled bad.

Me and my parents disagree at every turn as far as beliefs go?

Thats just parents. My parents do that to me and shoot down my beliefs and views the instant i express them. You just gotta live with it unfortunately

How do i tell my parents?

im 17 and my brother is 19. he still lives at home and everything and has had a drug problem for awhile. he got addicted to meth when he was 13. he doesnt still do meth and hasnt for awhile, but he had a cocaine problem in the past and has consistently smoked weed. hes had behavioral problems and disrespects my parents all the time. hes gone to multiple treatment places, been in and out of jail, and each time he comes back home things never change. my parents set rules for him and they really care about him, but even after theyve kicked him out they always let him come back home. im sick of it. im sick of him. he doesnt want to change, and i understand that no one can make him change untill he wants to. im really reclusive about my feelings towards this but my parents know it bothers me. i just want him gone. i have a little sister who's 10 and i really dont want her to be around someone who's aggressive, disrespectful, angry and abusing drugs. hes selfish and manipulative and my parents are too soft on him. its been this roller coaster for so many years now and im tired of my parents stressing and tired of the **** he brings into our house. i know he's their first child and they dont want to give up on them but HE WONT CHANGE. i want to feel comfortable in my own home and i want peace again. i cant figure out how to tell my parents. ive told them things before but they just sigh and say, i know, its a mess, and complain over and over about how much he ***** up. they keep giving him chances even though hes run out years ago. i dont know what to do. ive built up this wall and this shell to keep me from caring. hes my brother but im over it. just because hes family doesnt mean hes not toxic. anyways. how should i go about addressing this problem? should i even bother? im afraid theyll just say "i know, i know" and thatll be the end of it. i dont know how to stress to them how important this is in my life.

**NEED HELP ASAP** I'm so confused, should I talk to him and try to explain?

So, about a month ago, this guy started talking to me on FB. We went through the whole "what's up" "nothing much" thing, then he asks me oh-so-subtly how me and my bf are doing. Well, I've never had a bf, even though I'm probably pretty enough to get one, but I'm so shy and no guy ever seemed willing to break through the shell. Then he said "as cute as you are, I thought youd be asked ot everyday :)" and it was impossible to not be flattered by that, y'know? Okay, so I met the guy when school started back, and I had a mini-heart attack because he is this ridiculously cute football playing sophomore, and I'm just an uninteresting freshman. He walked me to all my classes for a couple days, and I thought he was amazing and sweet. And my friends asked his younger brother, who's in our grade, about it, and apparently he was crushing on me A LOT. But then he insulted my best friend And I got more upset than I should have, mostly because my life was being crap, I was confused, lost, and felt utterly hopeless, and this whole situation was just a lot to take in. Then I did something stupid--I avoided him. It's been a while, but I really think I've got my life back on track. I was an unconfident, quiet, nervous girl before, but I really think I've grown up some, and am not as shy and reclusive. So, do you think I should talk to him? I really want to, since there will Be that irritating "What if" there if I don't, but I'm not sure if he'll want to listen and consider starting over like I want to. Do you think he would? How should I go about doing it?

How are new yorkers regarded in texas (south in general)?

One of my best friends that Ive known for atleast 15 years is from New York. And half the time I dont even think about it. And I was born and raised in the Houston area. But when it comes down to it he is still a Yankee!!lol But Houston is just as big of a city as New York. So its a lil different than some of our small towns. Most Texans just dont like the northern accent. Which neither do I really. But dont worry Texas is a great place to live and noo we dont all ride horses or wear cowboy hats.

GAY (fe) MALES: You know how guys say "cant live with em, cant live without them" when referring to women?

I'm a lesbian and yes, I could go my whole life never seeing or interacting with a man and I'd be perfectly fine. I prefer my romantic partners and friends both to be female, as I don't connect with men. More girls for me c:

Question about relationship with a Girl?

Hi, I'm a guy who just graduated from high school, who was rather reclusive over the years, but began opening up to some people. One of them is a girl who I talked to quite a bit (and honestly kind of like) and she said via Facebook message that we should keep in contact over the summer since we're going to the same college. Now that it's summer I don't see her, well, at all. I'm not saying I need help asking her out, but what should I do based on that statement. Do I just send her facebook messages every so often? I don't know. I'm really inept when it comes to social situations.

Does Ephesians 2:8, 9 contradict Ephesians 2:10?

A christian is to do as good as he or she can, even preaching the good news to others which would certainly be a good work. But christians are not 'saved' because of those works. It is because of God's love. In other words we cannot save ourselves by just doing good works. Good works don't necessarily involve our hearts nor our love for God. We cannot 'earn' salvation. It is God's free gift to those who love him from the heart.

Can a stripper be a good mother?

My EX girlfriend Aubrey is a stripper and she is pregnant with my baby. My parents despise her and told me stripper's don't make good mothers. I love her and she recently move back into my apartment with me. She is so excited and told me she can't wait to become a mother. I love her and she loves me too She is loving caring honest and loyal. She told me she is sick of the stereotype that strippers are bad people she told me she loves dancing and is proud of her body and enjoys showing it off. We broke up because i wasn't comfortable with her stripping and want her to stop. She told me i was being a hypocrite because i would never had met her if i didn't go to the strip club where she was preforming i would have never met her. I'm considering getting back together with her. Will she be a good mother?

Is black guys liking white females an illusion (Long but I think true)?

I’ve had a thing for black guys for quite a while now all though I’ve never hooked up with any yet and have been mostly mixing with white guys. Now I’ve seen good looking, tall black guys when I’m out and for some reason I don’t seem to get their attention as much as I do with the ugly ones. I’m confident that I’m an attractive female (23 yo) thin, blonde, blue eyed curvy 5’7 as I’ve been told by many people and the stares also proves it. I’m not trying to sound stuck up but I’m extremely confident in myself. I’ve always believed that black guys liked us but what I’ve noticed is that the good looking ones seem to prefer only Latinas or black women/ basically ethnic women. I’m aware of the stereotype that black guys get with fat, unattractive/ basically white trash. But what I also realised is that the black guys that are attracted to us are usually unattractive too. I was reading a question another white female posted asking why they’re no white women in black music videos and only black and Latina women. But what I noticed recently is that I’ve never seen an attractive black guy with a white female. I really want to date a handsome black guy but I’m basically not sure if they like us or is it only the ugly ones. It almost feels like I’ve lived some sort of lie because of the media which has kind of discouraged me from flirting with black guys and to make things worse I only witnessed that most handsome black celebrities are married to black women (Denzel, Will Smith, Morris Chestnut, Ll cool J etc.) If you’re a good looking black guy would you date a white female and if you’re a white female have you dated a good looking black guy before?

Whats the name of this classic story? I listened to it on a CD.?

In the story, a young boy, who is really good with the flute, lives with his grandpa alone in a forrest. His grandpa has warned him from when he was young to not to go over the river into the deep part of the forrest. One day, his grandfather becomes sick, and he has to get medicine from a plant in the dangerous deep part of the forrest. He goes over the river, into the forrest and somehow gets captured by a giant. The boy tricks the boasting giant into a music duel for his freedom. He ends up beating the giant with his flute, and gets the medicine. there were more stories on the CD, one about a tin soldier who goes through a lot of stuff after getting lost from his owners and ends up back at the house. I would really like to know what the CD is.

Tell me, why shouldn't I kill myself?

don't do it, someone out there cares. a friend of mine killed himself last month and even tough i didn't know him that much i cry for him every day since. please don't make anyone else feel what i'm feeling right now. you're important and you'll be missed. if you just need someone to talk to, i can be here for you.

Do you think stereotypes sell?

In music, tv, movies & books? It seems ppl love anything based on bad stereotypes. It's otherwise boring unless you have a token person acting the part. Veiws?

How to put myself out there more without being a slut?

I feel so reclusive, I don't talk to many guys and the ones I do talk to are out of my league :( any advice?

Why is it that?????????(question to anyone with an IQ above 70?)?

Have you lived in America for a while? It's like they say, "Karma is a bit*h." Stuff that was cool and funny way back then isn't so cool and funny when it's turned around and experienced the opposite way. On the flipside, maybe white entertainers aren't as gifted as their black counterparts. They can't be funny and non-offensive. Black comedians have a way of getting you to laugh at yourself regardless of your ethnicity. In the end, history just has a way of biting one's as*.

Taking Xanax or other anxiety drugs?

Please please PLEASE do NOT take Xanax. As a medical professional, I'm pleading with you not to take it, even if your doc tries to write you a script for it. It's HIGHLY addictive, HIGHLY!!!!!!!!!!!

If people want the stereotypes to go away they should...?

That's dumb about not eating at a certain place because people want to associate black people with the food there...And I know people joke around like that because they have to make light of it to keep sane in the world we live in. I understood your point, about avoiding what we're expected to do/say/dress/etc, but the thing is, if it's not one thing people will associate us with another. Does that make sense? Like, okay all black people stop eating KFC (not that we all do - I don't!), so all of us head to McDonald's. Then what will be the new stereotype? We all eat at McDonald's! Ya know? So it's just a vicious cycle.

MACS have malware immunity?

Macs can get virus's like any other PC. As mentioned before one of the main reasons that they dont get as many is there are far less of them. Apple also release lots of patchs/updates to counter virus's. However the main reason why people find it more difficult to produce virus's is that linux based OS's do not give access to the Root. They are not immune.

I feel like i have no friends but don't really care?

Sounds like a normal thing for someone your age. Your other friends dated back to when you were 12. Time for a change. Make new friends or just be happy being by yourself. Being by yourself isn't lonely, it's a time for reflection, perspective, thoughts on yourself and life in general. All your time isn't necessarily for the amusement of others. Enjoy your young life and don't rush anything. It's a pity, but this life is too short for foolishness like fighting over boy/girl friends. Any friends. Live, Love, Laugh, is a good game plan for now. Waiting for the 'right' one is best done taking your time. Friends included. Take your time and enjoy the NOW in your life.

PC vs MAC defragmentation?

I have to de fragment my PC periodically to keep it running smooth but my buddy says his MAC never needs that. Is he boasting or is that true?

Why should I apologize to my friend for calling her a fat pig when she deserved it?

I have this friend who is extremely overweight, but she constantly bitches about other peoples weight. I had my 21st birthday party saturday evening and I invited a friend who is slightly reclusive. He lost his brother a year ago so hardly goes out anymore and has gotten obese after taking comfort in food. As soon as he walked through the door my friend started calling him fat. I explained to her what he'd been through and warned her to shut up. But she didn't so I told her she hardly needed to ***** about anybody else because she looked like a fat pig herself. She ran off crying and now keeps texting saying she is waiting for an apology. Why should I apologize?

How did I turn into such a weird freak?

As a child I was a high achieving, happy person. As a teen I was a self-conscious, worried, self-loathing wannabe. Now as a young adult I am a reclusive, megalomaniac, still self-loathing, marijuana enthusiast. How did it get this way? Give me your theories please. Will give best answer. Just give me your best theory on how a person can go from happy and idealistic to a trainwreck of nerves and doubt.

Do you tend to stereotype people by their hair color?

Say you see a brunette. Would you assume she/he is more serious and grounded? And a blonde more outgoing and party loving? What if you can tell someones hair is obviously dyed, do you think they'd be superficial? Just wondering. :D

Is it possible to do these????

It is very possible to do both careers. In fact you may be able to pay for Med school with your modeling income. If you have a talent for modeling you should start now. It sounds like you have the attributes of height and weight that would enable you to start earning money as a teen model. Many children start their modeling careers when they are very young doing photo and film commercials. It does take a lot of help from the parents to drop everything and rush off to auditions and to ensure that you make it to the shoot. If you have what it takes to be a model your career will grow with the more exposure and experience. There is no reason why you cannot balance your modeling career and your studies all the way through Med school. Hopefully by then you will established and get shoots that you can schedule around classes. Once you become a doctor you can still continue your modeling career if you choose. In fact you may be able to combine your careers by promoting heath related products. It will take a lot of effort and support from you parents but is very do able. My children tried modeling and acting when they were young 6 - 12 years old and got some work, but not enough to pursue a career. Learning to speak and have a good presentation skills has been beneficial through their school years and in the professional careers. God luck The PracticaL Mentor

Why do you think black people care more about being stereotyped then whites?

because we always have been, and I think at some point it should stop. For years and years, I have been stereotyped as stupid and worthless and good for nothing and ugly and the list goes on and on. And so was my mom, and my grandma, and any other black person I have ever come in contact with. because of those ******* stereotypes we have to work 5 times as hard to get half of what white people get, and this is from experience, so don't tell me I am wrong. When you guys get stereotyped, the usual stereotype is that you are at the head of the class, or your family owns a big law firm or some **** like that. When I get stereotyped, it is usually saying I am from the ghetto, will get pregnant at 16, will grow up on welfare, am sucking the tax dollars out of the work class for my 6 kids, bebe, pooky, jay jay, moesha, devante, marquisha, do you want me to keep going? so I don't think, I know. We care because we just want to be treated like ******* people too, FYI. just something to think about. God bless.

Why do people stereotype the LGBT community so much...?

You forgot megan fox!! She's bi! And she's one of the hottest celebrities ever! :) some people are so blind and ignorant that they cant see the real picture. Its easier to put people in nice little boxes/categories because saying that any person could be LGBT is to scary for them because their own child/family member/friend could be LGBT and *gasp* that is just unthinkable to some ppl. Does that make sense? : /

Advice on living with in-laws in a different country?

Hello everyone, i moved to Holland 8 months ago with my 12 yr. old daughter. We moved to the Netherlands because my fiance is Dutch,and he also has an obligation to his employment/er in Holland. He also purchased a home that will soon be completed in 2 months. When we initially decided to relocate, the plan was to live w/ his parents until the house was completed. I was a little hesitant about the idea, but having faith that it will all work out. I knew of the challenges that would be ahead, but never imagined how difficult it really would be. New language, living in a village (coming from a large city), surrounded by people constantly hounding me w/many questions, and treating me like i'm ignorant as i do things differently (as im from a different country) My daughter is doing good. She speaks the language almost fluently- has friends and is doing good in school. She often expresses to me how difficult it is for her to understand in school sometimes. She too has her moments of frustration. I am struggling w/not being able to find a job as the language poses as a barrier for me at the moment. I worked in healthcare for 11 years and had a wonderful job in my home country. I'm studying the language continuously, and doing my best the only way i know how. In a village where I don't know anyone, and being so far away from family and friends, and not being able to drive here yet-has really been a challenge. We live w/ my future in-laws, and my S-in law comes almost everyday w/ her children. She often tries to conveniently drop the kids off to me, or sends the kids upstairs to me while she drinks coffee w/ her mother and aunts. The kids are very wild- biting, kicking, scratching, and throwing things. Its very difficult to tend them when once again the languge is a barrier. I find myself being very reclusive at times, and it is very saddening to me. I cry almost every day in private. It is also hard for me to eat dinner w/ the family when I know my F-in law makes rude remarks about me, as my daughter is able to understand what he says-even if i don't. My M-inlaw is a very nice lady, but alot of times i feel like she wants things to be her way entirely. Ex: when my fiance and I were planning our kitchen set up, she immediately sat at the table and made herself the 3rd party (as if we had to get her approval) of our ideas. Needless to say we did not design our kitchen the way we had initially planned. What we ended up doing with it was more of her idea. My fiance is the youngest of her children, i do understand it is difficult to let him go, but he is afterall is 35 yrs old. He tells his mother every time we have a disagreement, or she listens to us intently with both ears wide open. She then calls her daughter to let her daughter know that my fiance and I had an arguement. She then feels like it is sometimes her right to have "talks" with me, as she does at times w/ other members of the family. She also finds it necessary to explain everything to me from cleaning, to ironing, to mothering my child. She has also casually insulted me in front of the family, and passing it off so "nicely." I'm very tolerant of the situation, but it is emotionally painful to live this way. I do everything I possibly can think of to lighten the situation. In a village there is not alot to do to escape the situation. I go on several bike rides per day, walks through the woods until I have blisters on my feet. It is custom here that coffee drinking is at 10am and 5 pm everyday. Alot of times I can't even bring myself to be comfortable to sit at the table while several conversations go on in another language, and often at times during coffee drinking time i'm the subject of the conversation w/ my fiances aunts, mother and sister. I do what I can to be polite and bear it. I wait for the days to pass, so that night will come and I can sleep w/o thinking about the living situation. I do my best to hide my feelings, although i have expressed to my fiance many times how unhappy i am living w/his parents. The tears easily stream down my face from day to day, even writing this article. I feel so alone here, but I have so much faith that it will get better. Can anyone offer me any advice on my situation? Please help me decide what to do.

What's the point of dating if you're not ready to get married?

I find it ridiculous how teenagers just "date" for a few weeks then break up over stupid things. Its a waste of time and effort as teenagers dont know what they want from a partner.They just go with their feelings not with whats best for them. Im not stereotyping teenagers im a teen myself and i think dating at that age is overrated. What do you think?

Which prison stereotype isnt real?

One correction. The OZ series is taken directly from prison information. Everything that happened on that show happened in prison. The time line between events is the only thing they changed. It may have been two months between assaults but they compressed that time line for the show. It depends on the prison, but most stereotypes are true, not necessarily in every prison. Some have real problems with inmate sexual assault, some have food issues, some have physical assaults most have gang issues, and you never mess with the people who prepare your food.

Am I autistic or have aspergers?

It sounds like you may possibly have Asperger's syndrome or high functioning autism. You certainly have some of the traits. Nobody here can give you a yes or no answer with any certainty though. You would need to consult a medical professional to find out for sure. It doesn't sound like you would be wasting your time by asking for a real evaluation/diagnosis.

I suppose just looking for advice to stress less?

Its performance anxiety - We act out there - socially and just like any actor have a post mortem on what and how we said what we did - we also have pre performance nerves - So just see if you can find some unconditionality for yourself= Like However I come whatever I wear whatever I do is okay - You could also try to be more real to yourself and more real outside so that its you and your learning rather than playing a part of being sociable. The best way to do this is to be more aware of yourself than of others - Go out to please yourself and not specifically to please others or up your credibility/status rating.

Anyone notice how Manny Pacquiao got lighter skin since he became a superstar?

Working behind those table in the Congress of the Philippines and its air condition has something to do with that. From public utility vehicle as a means of transportation to the comfort of his limousine and his numerous cars has something to do with that too. Traveling to Sarangani from Manila in a private jets really helps. That's what progress is all about. Being under the sun working in a construction, selling bread or doughnut walking barefooted and wearing a coat and tie as his new position requires means a lot. Its the new Manny Pacquiao being born unlike the old Manny who have a problem where the next meal will come from. Result of being under the shade most of the time. Destiny dictates.

Never had the same feeling as Jonah, why bother?

Nineveh was oppressing Israel at the time. Jonah did not go to Nineveh because he was afraid that they WOULD repent (which they did). He would have much preferred to have God wipe them out. That is why Jonah refused to go. It was never a matter of not bothering because he was believed there was no chance of success.

What are the best ways to treat anxiety and live a happy, healthy lifestyle?

I think I'm suffering from anxiety and maybe depression. I have not been diagnosed but I have been doing a lot of research into my symptoms such as worry and tension, being irritable and irate, constantly tired, angry one minute and sad the next, feeling like everyone is against me and I'm unloved, feeling edgy, constant headaches to name a few and it all points to anxiety every time. My mum has suffered with extreme depression at times and has tried a number of prescribed medication from the GP but nothing seems to work and for years I have seen her suffer. I have been to my GP once and explained my symptoms and all he did was change my contraceptive pill. Although I'm not sure I would have accepted being put on antidepressants etc if offered anyway. I exercise on a regular basis and this can occasionally make me feel really good, and I know I need to eat healthier too as this will help and I plan on doing so. I just want to live a happy life and be rid of all this so called anxiety. In the past I haven't gone to work as I had no energy or motivation to get out of bed, I turn down offers to see my girlfriends because I just can't be bothered. Whereas I used to be the life and soul of every party. I used to have a big group of girlfriends but I'm drifting from them now and am becoming reclusive, although at times I've blamed them and felt like they've pushed me out even though I am sure that's not the case, just my over active mind. I take everything to heart and can never let the small things go. I argue with my boyfriend over silly things and it's affecting our relationship. I would just like some advice from anyone going through the same thing and what they do to deal with these feelings. It's not what you call intense or extreme at the moment, I do have days when I feel really good about myself and my life and probably have a really bad day at least once a week. It started off about once or twice a month so already I feel like this more and more. I don't see myself lying on a couch talking to a counsellor or psychiatrist like many websites suggest so I'm searching for alternatives before I go down the obvious routes. Thank you for reading this and thanks for any advice you may have.

I feel like my friend backstabbed me. What should I do?

Dude people change. In your whole life you will see who are the true one and who aren't. The real question is do YOU think he's being a good friend? I would think no. Friends don't go an tell other people your stuff. That's where trust leaves the picture.

Good students who bully.?

When I went to school, I wasn't doing properly during my elementary school years and everybody used to make fun of me because of my bad grades. Later, I started to do better in school, but the bullies were usually the top students. This one bully had the best grades in school, was a star athlete, and a music master. He'd rub his success in my face and I got sick of it. He'd compare himself to me and he'd say like "your grades are nothing compared to mine" and so on. Has anybody experienced the "good student bully?" I'm asking this because the stereotype is that bullies are dumb, but the ones I met were the best students. If so, then what do we call the best students who bully?

Why did Whitney Houston refuse to go on talk shows in the 80s and early 90s?

She went on Letterman and Joan Rivers in 1985 at the very start of career but never came back until the late 90s.It seemed like you only heard about her when she released new music but for the most part she was reclusive. People talked about her a lot because she was a huge star, but she never went on any shows to talk about herself. As a result rumours about her were started regarding her sexual orientation and all sorts of things, and she wasn't able to defend herself from these rumours because she never went on Letterman until the late 90s. Why was she so reclusive even before she got addicted to drugs?

Why do white men go trolling on youtube videos such as why black girls, asian girls prefer white guys?

Whitey people are inferior. They have no brain and are very insecure. So, as you could understand, it makes them happy when poc ever like them back. When it doesn't happen (most of the time,) they just start ranting and glorifying their little whitey female monsters. However, when the very few poc women who acknowledge their existence reciprocate them, they feel the need to boast about it. Try to understand them. It's unusual for them, so they want everybody to know a poc woman has ever preferred them over real men.

Why hasn't anybody murdered me yet?

My "so called" close friend is being selfish :/ help?

it was her 1 year anniversary last saturday. So she wanted me to come and i did. Beairng in mind, my sister is being so over protective with me and is giving me strict boundaries. The fact that my sister gave me the opportunity to go out that day was really amazing and i didnt wanna mess up so i decided to come home earlier/ the time she told me to come which was at 5. Normally us friends would go home at 6pm. Well, the day came and i was so greatful that my sister allowed me to come. I was going through such a hard time anyways at home bearing in mind my situation with my sister so it took me a while to beg my sister to let me out. We went to the cinemas and watched a movie, then ate together. By the time we finished those two activities, it was 4.45. By the time we walked it out it was 5.00 and my friend and her bf wanted to go to do an activity *i wnt mention what* and wanted me and my other friends to come along with them but i mentioned to her politely : im sorry but i need to go home.So do my other friends. You need to understand my situation with my family and i dont wanna let them down and disobey them behind their backs. I was here for pretty much the whole day anyways and my curfew is at 5.00 and that activity will take up to i hour and ive rinsed my cahs anyways!" So then me and my other friends made our way home. One day later, my friend told my other male friend that we wernt there for her, we done her over, we didnt listen to them etc etc.... she even put a picture of herself and put everyones name on it but not mine :S she knows how close me and her were. we always took pictures together. Tbh i did get quite hurt when i saw that because id expected her to understand out of everyone because she knows that my family are being protective over me and the fact that they allowed me to go out was an absolute reward! My friend even wrote a status on fb saying : im glad i have a few friends because good friends come and go" etc etc... i dont remember all of it. ITS SO FRUSTRATING BECAUSE WHEN SHE WAS GOING THROUGH HELL - WHO WAS THERE FOR HER? - MEEE!!!!!! :\ IM NOT EVEN BOASTING, ITS JUST REALLY HURTFUL AND FRUSTRATING :/ shes being so stubborn. Guys, any help? xx

Why do other countries have such a problem with Americans ?

I guess that's how Americans have been portrayed on TV, like on That 70's Show, an other comedy shows. Plus, it's not like only other countries talk trash about Americans. People from America ( of all races, whether it be black, white, Asian) talk trash about other countries, too. Americans are the biggest stereotypers in the world.

My child wanted to be a goth at 16...?

He explained that it was a lifestyle choice, that it is not what most stereotypes claim it to be, and that it is more about art, literature, history, and music, not about all the bad hypes the media gives it. I told him fine, since I thought it was a phase, but now he has come back from college at 26 (Ph.D), and is STILL in that phase. Will he ever grow out of that immaturity?

I have a guy friend who's father just passed away a couple months ago. He has become very reclusive, and he has began to even shut out his friends. He has refused professional or clergy help.

What possibly could be wrong with my husband, and should I be conscerned?

My husband was a young, vibrant man, full of life, but recently, he's reclusive. Four days have past, and he hasn't said a single word to me. One day, I thought I was alone in the house until I turned on a light and saw him sitting in a corner in the dark staring at me. He's been doing that a lot lately, sitting in corners, watching me in silence, following my movements with his eyes. I tried to ignore it, but I really started to feel nervous when I saw him sharping his collection of knives, which I didn't even know that he owned, a moment ago. Am I overreacting?

Good primitive camping spot in Southern Alabama?

My husband and I are looking to do some camping this weekend and I'm trying to find a good place in Southern Alabama. We don't need all the bells and whistles, actually would prefer a little bit of seclusion (we have two pit bulls and people love to stereotype). We also would like to be near the water. Does anyone have any suggestions?? Oh and we have a 4x4 truck, so getting there wouldn't be an issue either. Thanks!

What was my problem in High School?

Hello. Here's some of the basic information, and occurrences throughout my duration of High School. As an undergraduate, I was really reclusive, and preferred introversion. While being an adolescent I was a lot more apprehensive about certain things until I realized to overcome my fear during my latter years. I've engaged in numerous physical, and verbal altercations with different students. People had an extensive affinity for spreading idle calumny about me (contradictory/false rumors). As it's kind of obvious I was never romantically affiliated with any girls. I didn't like to adhere to presumed cliques who advocate for civility yet they're the students who patronize others for not conforming to their attire. Despite that, I was involved with the Gaming Club, Guitar Club, and Writing Club. I always preferred Historical Antiquity, and Literature over Mathematics. During my senior year I got fed up with taking verbal abuse from two students in my Art course, and I threw a piece of plaster directly towards his head. He wasn't seriously injured because the material hit his forearm, but it inflicted a ghastly laceration. I immediately advanced towards an enemy of mine who was laughing at my sudden outburst of rage, and so I threw a chair at him. I know I have many difficulties refraining from rage, so I was prescribed with anti-depressants such as Effexor, and Clonazepam. At that same coinciding interval I was diagnosed by my physician with a minor form of Asperger's Syndrome. Fortunately with God's sovereignty I'm currently employed at a stable profession. I'm getting ready to enroll in the collegiate atmosphere this summer, and eventually I plan on transferring to a Presbyterian University. Sometimes I found it difficult to carry on a conversation with unfamiliar people. With God's assistance may he bestow upon me a woman finally in college? Also, if any of the vocabulary words I utilized seemed awkward in this question over the internet then I apologize. It's just who I am.

How do I get a recently-adopted shelter dog to start eating?

The dog is a male Silky Terrier, about 1 year old, and he's a nervous dog. I've tried to get him to eat, because the shelter worker said that he'd been transported for a couple days, eating whatever donations that were given to the dogs on the truck, and that he should gain at least a pound. I've tried giving him mostly dry food, but I've tried putting water in it in case the food was too hard, I've tried putting dog treats in with the food, I've even tried giving him the food by hand (he just basically spat it out)... He's not at all reclusive, even though we've only had him a little over a day, though I think he may have been abused by a man, cared for by a woman, or both before we adopted him, because he always wants to be around my mother, and never around anyone else. But my family wants this dog to be primarily mine, so I'm to be the one to feed him and take care of him. Help?

Does this guy hate me or is this guy intimidated by me? I never talked to him in person and he doesn't even?

It seems to me you want to be friends again because you claim to have changed into a more extroverted person and now the friendship will work.

Many catholic traditions were instituded by constantine when he legalized christianity. He wanted everyone on the same side so he adapted pagan rituals to christianity.

My child is now 21 year old young woman, but acts worse than 15 year old teen. Why?

She avoids me, does everything to ignore me, she is reclusive, unreachable by phone, text, email and meanwhile she communicates with her "friends" the ones she meets at dance parties every weekend. I see her talking to 1000 people on fb, yet when I sent her a simple "hi, how are you" message she does not bother to reply as I don't exist. She moved out 7 months ago, and eventually stopped talking to me. I have no clue what she up to , unless spy on her on fb....we never had a falling out or a big fight. We had somewhat normal rel-p. I am single mom and gave her the best I could, all I could. Good school,good home, good food, love, devotion. Why she is so cold towards me?

Is it true that feminists are mostly lesbians?

I don't mean to offend anyone. I understand that feminists are obviously not all lesbians. I understand also lesbians why they may hate men: it's probably a sort of competition. At the same time every single feminist blog that I read is full of hatred to men. It is not immediately obvious, but when you look into it you will find out that men are represented in a way that depreciates masculinity, manhood or whatever word you may use to describe the phenomenon of a male role in a family or society. Endless suggestions that women should be given more power, which must be taken from men, boys must be raised as girls, so don't tell them they must behave like boys, stereotypes are bad, family is bad, religion is very bad, and so on. Do feminists want to make men like women and women like men? If they do, they must be really something different, i.e. lesbians. Thus my question. No offense.

I'm scared because I don't know what God wants me to do?

God has given my talent in many areas (not boasting) and I look forward to the future so much when i can use them to glorify God and make a living at the same time. I'm in college at the moment though and looking through certain professions, and they all seem so far away from me :( I love hard work, when its enjoyable, i even enjoy doing my AS levels at the moment which is strange because everyone i know hates college because its so hard. Every profession i look into seems so hard and stressful and makes me think theres no way i'm going to enjoy life doing that :( I feel that if i don't find out soon what i want to do, then the talent that i have will go to waste and i'll end up just floating around doing jobs that so aren't me :( Everyone says that you will know what God wants you to do, but i have no idea, and i can't stand all this waiting, i feel like time is running out :( Please help me :(

Penis size issues; 11.5 cm length 5 inch girth?

This is seriously awkward and rather shallow but I feel compelled to seek some advice. Firstly I consider myself to be rather intelligent and considerate. In general I am an easy going person but now I am increasingly feeling low and reclusive due to my penis size. I know this sounds ridiculous but there have been numerous instances where women have shown an interest in me but I build this defensive mechanism and fail to reciprocate. I realise yahoo answers might not be the right forum to discuss such issues but today a girl I would consider to be utterly beautiful asked me out for a coffee but foolishly I kindly declined. I just feel so insecure and fear the time when I will inevitably get really intimate with a woman. Is the size of my penis really a problem or am I overreacting? Thanks in advance.

Do you know any virgos that are users? Is that a virgo trait?

I am not going to stereotype Virgos as there are many wonderful Virgos in this world. However, I too have had the same problem with a Virgo relative. I do not think what your cousin and neighbor are intentionally using you. I think that maybe you have let them use you in the past when you had more time and now you don't have the time for their BS so I would take a few steps away from them and back off from them.. There are people out there that are opportunists that take advantage of what you own or take advantage of your good name. That is what happened to me. They enjoy nice things and going fun places and using your good name to assist them in getting the finer things in life. they are users and they come in all signs. You and I happen to have the Virgo opportunists. Be careful because when you stop doing "what they want you to do" they will get their last grab at what you have and then they are off to their next victim. That is why they stay in touch with old flames. They want to make sure that in case they run into a little trouble or need a place to stay or want some money that they want that door to be open for them. There is no reason to keep old boyfriends around. She wants to use them if the opportunity arises. Good thinking of you to put this together. I lost many things with my bad relationship with an opportunist. Back off and be as unavailable as you can. These types will show up anyway. Just don't text but when you do, always say you are too busy. "Sorry, I can't. I'm too busy." See, it is easy. Good luck and bless you. Hope this is helpful.

They're called misogynists. A misogynist is a person who hates all women. About 1 in 5 guys are misogynists.

Why is there so little assistance for abused fathers and their children?

Maybe because in 10 cases of men abusing women there will be only 1 case of women abusing men. The government gave the.women so much power because they think womens are weak .

Out 100% 90% of women use their power to threaten men abuse them .and make them do house work that ia sad some man work and they have to do house work after there office work .

How much do your siblings, especially older siblings, influence you?

I have 2 older brothers and two older sisters they don't affect me at all because I see them as my equal and some times I feel like I have more since them. I use to look up to my oldest sister but I noticed things about her and is not the type of person I want to look up to so i don't anymore.

Does reality cause a stereotype?

I don't think reality causes a stereotype. Stereotypes are mostly false accusations. So the origin of stereotypes and reality have no match.

I think NOW you guys can't look down on China?

I'm American and I respect the Chinese. People should know the different varieties of Asians and respect them too. The cultures in Asia are much different than western cultures which is probably why people have a hard time accepting China and other countries. As far as uncivilized, China is one of the first civilizations and along with Japan and others has become a leader in technology and medicine. As far as I know, U.S.A. is in debt with China, so it's wrong for anyone to look down on that country.

Do you teach your children to stand up for others, especially if it's standing up to a friend?

I think that everyone should know how and when it's okay for them to express their opinion. So, yes, I will teach my children this. And I am a very good example of this. I voice my opinion but not in an obnoxious "I'm right, you're wrong" in your face kind of way. My mom taught me this way. She also taught me how to stand up for MYSELF physically if I am being bullied. That's the problem with how they teach bullying at school. They teach OTHER kids to step in and help the victim. They teach the victim to go and tell an adult. Well, how about we teach the victim of being bullied how to defend themselves because there won't always be someone else around to help.

Why is my life nothing but suffering?

I was born to a poor family so I never had much money and have had to live with very little. to top it off because I was poor I was a very bony kid and still am. I have just had bullies my whole life at school and my life is a disaster. I started having psychological problems around 16 years old and I recluse from the world at that age. Ive been in a reclusive state and am reluctant to talk to any people or even try because i feel to uncomfortable or out of place when I try to do it. I'm on disability now and never leave my house. my mom gets the groceries and if she didn't then It would just be suffering for me to go outside because I hate going outside.

Is this Aspergers, Schizoid, Early stages of Schizophrenia ...?

Sounds like Aspergers..... Does not sound like schizophrenia at all as you do not have hallucinations or delusions which are the main symptoms of Schizophrenia. Also it doesn;t really sound like Schizoid PD as Schizoids are generally pretty content with their lives... they LIKE being alone so are unlikely to see it as a problem.

Break up over religion?

Hey, I'm 17 years old and I'm an Independent Baptist. 2 months ago I began dating someone of the Catholic Faith. Due to the additional scriptures they use other than the Bible, as well and most importantly their beliefs of salvation it bothers me. I asked my gf to describe their way of salvation and shes always says "Justification, confessions and she also stated that her being baptized was them being saved. This is clearly wrong according to the Bible. All the things she describes were works which cannot get someone to heaven. "Not of works, lest any man should boast." Eph 2:9. I am very determined to reading and following my Bible. I am a saved "Born again" child of God and I feel that i'm out of his will while dating her. I have witnessed all I can but i'm not going to make her do something she isn't open to. I would like for her to know the truth but it's not likely. My question is, how should I go about breaking up with her in a way she'll understand? I mean I often think of my future and how my kids will be raised and how it affects everything. Please help me to find a way to do this. I do like her, it's just simply not God's will for my life and I know that. Thanks for any advice!!

LGBT: Why are lesbians and gays stereotyped to be like this?

I mean why are gay guys stereotyped to be effeminate, superficial, and lesbians are stereotyped as manly and gross? I don't get it. Everyone is there own person right?

What is the issue here?

I am only in high school and have undergone depression for a few years now. There is this girl that I've known since middle school; she mentioned that I was the sweetest guy back then, but something changed since then. She said that she has been seeing something and it is scaring her. Sometimes when I look in the mirror I will see something; it's myself, but it isn't at the same time. I can't really describe it at all. I've isolated myself from everyone starting in high school, in a reclusive nature. I spoke to my guidance counselor and she said I am far too cynical for my age, yet, very hard to read, even coming from her. For the past few years, tragic things would happen, and what I feel is nonexistent. Most peers remember me years back in earlier school, but say something is different. I tried speaking with the one girl but she said she can't communicate with me any longer. What happened?

Does anybody else hate being stereotyped?

Everybody always calls me punk because I have a mohawk and wear leather jackets and listen to punk music. And everybody also calls me emo because I wear chokers and skinny jeans, skateboard and play the guitar. They also call me a satanist because I dont go to church and I dont believe in God. Im just myself x) I'm who I want to be! F*** stereotypes!!!! Does anybody else get labeled alot?

How come so many people think Hispanics are poor, low-class, and uneducated?

I am so sick of that stereotype! Words cannot even beigin to fathom my empathy for it!!! I am a Hispanic male, 14. We've been living in the U.S. For 7 years now. My father is an orthodontist, he makes $365,000 a year. My mother is a homemaker. Currently, I am enrolled in a private school, I am in all AP classes with a 4.0 GPA. I'm not too big on sports, but that might change since I want something to look good on a college application (I am in tons of clubs, though). Even though I have lived here a short 7 years, I would consider myself almost a master of the English Language. I have been riveted by all that it has to offer and how the eloquence of one's words can clearly place their education and social position. I spend my free time immersing myself in literature. I can speak fluent English, French, and Spanish and am learning Latin. I love the works of authors like Shakespeare (he is my idol) and love to play chess, read, write, paint, and play the violin. i have been writing novels since I was 6 (the early ones were obviously in Spanish, I learned to write fairly good English after living here for a year) and am working on getting one published. To me, this seems proof enough that Hispanics can be smart and successful. My paternal grandfather is a CEO, making over 3 million a year. My maternal grandfather is a wealthy dentist in Colombia. My mother, while unemployed to care of the home, is certified to be a dentist and has her degree. I don't understand why so many people continue to think of us as wild, rocous people who are uncivilized brutes, because we are not. The city in Colombia that I come from has a district similar to the Upper east side in New York; South America isn't a jungle, it's full of vibrant cities. I don't understand why people tend to have such negative views of Hispanics.

My mouse is sick. Does anyone know what I could try to make her feel better?

The exact same thing happened to my hamster. I just made sure it drank alot. And kept it warm with a heating pad. I put a little bit of sugar in her water. And fed her oatmeal, she liked it alot. So maybe just give your mouse little oatmeal to make sure she's eating. Call your local pet store and vet. Even though it is expensive, if the veterinarian on the phone says it is serious, try to bring Bianca to a vet. Hope she gets better! ( Ummm...i really do because I am really sorry to say but when my hamster did this she died. But hopefully you will figure out how to cure Bianca before that happens. Good luck!!!

Now that some experts are backing Sarah Palin....?

If these facts continue to come out showing that Palin was correct, I bet not one lib will apologize. As for myself, I am waiting for more experts to say what they know.

Do you ask and answer YA questions with love?

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Abusive Homelife; I feel so unloved and hated right now by everyone and it's affecting my mental state?

Are you kidding??? You're beautiful! I am so very sorry for your situation. You mom sounds like my dad and unfortunately the only advice I can give is to wait until you're legally old enough to move out. Please don't use marijuana and DO NOT believe your sister and mother. Damn, I can't believe your mom. People like that dont change, trust me, I know.Obviously they have serious issues themselves and they're trying to bring you down. Are you able to get a part time job? Waitressing or something? This will give you time away but also more importantly you can save some money for when you move out. Think about this, and if you ever feel like talking feel free to write me OK. XOXO

How to convince my dad for rats?

I have had rats before, and I absolutely LOVE them and I hate how they have one of the worst stereotypes in the world. But I love bringing my friends over and they couldnt get enough of my old rats! But when my last one died, my dad said no more rodents. :( Anyway, this is 2 years later. I am gonna turn 13 in November. I asked my dad if he would be willing to give me an early bday present, and he said maybe. So in a couple days, (when I get back to his house, I am in Texas at my moms house) I wanna tell him. Now, I know I could tell him that I am more responsible now that in a couple months I will be 13 and all, but just how? Any other things you would suggest for telling him? I REALLY REALLY REALLY want more rats, they are my 2nd favorite animal (horses first!) please help! and thank you for the people that give serious answers, it is highly appreciated!

I miss her, but does she miss me? Is it really worth it?

So almost a month ago, my first real girlfriend, who I was with for 13 months dumped me. Her reason for dumping me was that her feelings for me were starting to change and she just didn't feel as happy with me anymore and lately she was beginning to like her ex-bf who she JUST started talking to again. She also told me that for the past month, she was reclusive to break up with me because she didn't want to break up with me when she knew she had no good reason. About a little over a week after she dumped me, i tried talking to her but she exploaded on me and said I did things that i NEVER did. I'm not just saying that, because it really is true, and she told me she "realized" all of this AFTER she dumped me. The only thing she complained about that was true was that I analyzed some things she said, but she knows I do that as a self-defense mechanism because I get lied to so many times and I knew she lied to me about a lot of things so I wanted to mak sure she wasn't... After she said those horrible things to me, she told my best friend a few hours later that she really STILL loves me and wants to take me back someday but she doesn't know when, but recently, one of her friends (who's a gay guy and a good friend of mine too) told me that he doubts she'll ever take me back because he said she has not mentioned me AT ALL and he doubts she really feels that way and he doesn't think her and I will get another chance. The things is I'm so confused because another good friend of mine (who's the son of a therapist and knows what people are really feeling) told me that he thinks she said all those things because she's starting to suffer from her repressed past, because she was raped when she was 14 and she was used by the last guy she really liked, and he said he thinks she's trying to alienate(SP) me and someday she will realize it and come back to me... I'm sorry it ws so lengthy but I need help... Idk if I should move on now and not look back or keep in touch with her and see what happens... I'm afraid to stay friends with her but I'm also afraid of leaving her out of my life...

Is there such a thing as a Fundamentalist/fanatical atheist?

People say there is even fundie atheists like Richard Dawkins, and some would say atheists are hedonists/nihilists but that's just a stereotype based on ignorance, isn't it?

Ladies, how close are you to the average guy's foot size?

The average U.S. adult male has size 10.5 feet, which equals a womens 12. A few women can boast that size (which happens to be my size). How about you?

Why am I not getting any fitter?

Hi, I'm a 17 year old guy, and since christmas I've been exercising quite a bit, 1 Just so general health will go up and 2. to lose a bit of weight. I'm not really fat, but too chubby. My routine now is I try to run 4 - 5 times a week, usually about 2 - 3 miles and on each day I run, I do some weight training. The thing is, I'm barely getting any fitter, I'm still usually really tired after 2 miles and I'm not sure why. I'm naturally a big build, and (without meaning to boast) I'm very strong strong, and my legs and arms are big, with barely any fat on them, due to my large build am I just not built for long distance running or something? Should I be focusing more on weight training? I know it can take time to see results but I've been running for over 6 months.

Why has George W. Bush become so reclusive since the end of his Presidency?

You asked a good question that has an obvious answer, which most contributors provided. I was just going to vote with one of them until I saw a couple Cons who still -- even in the face of the obvious -- still want to promote George W. Bush. That tells me that you just can't get anything in the way of honesty or reality from them. They are in a state of never-ending denial.

How do I learn to deal and accept my family for who they are?

I'm very pleased with where I am in my life, and super excited about all that Ive been able to accomplish. I don't take myself very seriously and I'm very humble and also goofy and silly at times. Whenever I'm around my extended family they ask me questions about my life as if their interviewing me. I feel like they are trying to make me understand that my life isn't as good as it seems to me. I'm pretty content with the way things are in my and I don't really plan on making any major changes to what I'm doing. I feel like my relatives always try to show me up and brag about their successes, which I think are great, but I'm pretty humble so I don't brag back or boast about what I've done. How do I leave family gatherings without doubting myself and what I do. I would never really change myself just because of someone else's thoughts, so how do I deel with the feeling?

Do I have some kind of sleeping disorder?

I've been an insomniac all my life. It runs in my family. It's is very typical for my dad, sister, and I to be awake at any time of night (technically morning) just doing our thing. I have trouble getting to sleep, and usually have to wear earplugs to bed. When and if I do sleep, it'll be for 10-12 hours. Yeah, it's awful. Recently, the only thing that helps me sleep is pot. Yeah, it's not for everyone, but it works for me. Not only do I get a restful night sleep, but I'm not over-sleeping either.

The only person I loved died a while back; how do I get over the grief?

A couple of years ago I lost the only person I ever loved romantically, and I can not get over it completely. I never loved or liked anyone before this person. I was going to tell him how I felt about him, but he passed away suddenly, and I have been grieving over this whole thing. Crying, sad dreams, I have let myself go physically, and I am a bit more reclusive. Sometimes I can go months without even thinking about this whole ordeal, then something will remind me of that person, and I am back to grief, and it hurts so bad, I have never felt pain like this. I know this person loved me, but I at least wanted to tell him how I felt before he died - for myself, and now he is gone and I will never get that chance. Someone told me I can tell him now, in spirit, but it is not good enough. I tried talking about it with a therapist, but it only makes it worse. So I have just suppressed it, and I try not to think about it. That works for a few months, but at some point I am back to being sad, my emotions are very uncontrollable now, I was never like this before. I never loved anyone before this guy, and I don't find anyone attractive after him either, I never cared about being in a relationship or anything before him, so it cuts very deep. What do I do? Please do not say "get over it" or "move on", trust me, I've tried. Please be more specific in how I can move on if you have any advice.

Aruggg ... help me :/ !!!!!!!!!!?

Well there is this boy and he says he likes me and he is really nice and i do kinda like him. my parents really like him but he seems to boast about me with all his mates...at the cricket club where my brother and dad play... my brother is 23 and he is 17 but he seems to talk about me to all his mates there as if it is a competition i will be walking around and i will have almost everyone come up to me and be like hows *ben*... what do i do :/ do i still talk to him ???? or do i just forget about him :/ ?????

How do i move on from here and not let it affect me?

"Ah well. Mybe I'll do better next time". Doubt it or not, you are jealous, which is a natural human behaviour. If they just started ignoring you, confront them. Ask them why they do that? If they just don't talk to you or say that they don't like you anymore, then they're not real friends.

Hey I am numb. o_O can u help me understand?

Firstly... People confuse me and I know I should listen to myself not others. I have never show my emotions and now I have been completely overwhelming because as I see other people sad, I keep wondering why can't they be like me? I am seriously 100% positive person even if I go through lots of tragedies! I get sick every time I'm near emotional people that just wants attention. I never get any respect whatever big deal am dealing with right now because I AM JEALOUS. I am so numb, I did stupid things, I started cutting and I just can't stop. It's the only way to clear of the pain at night. I also think am lonely cuz I don't have friends same age as me but I do appreciate them. I feel lonely because kids don't talk like me if you know what I mean? People have no idea what am going through. all I get is being stereotype if I'm being open. So I was like ughh...

Do girls fake it most of the time?

like, and i'm not bragging or boasting just curious, everytime i have sex which is only a few, the girls always seem to be moaning a whole whole lot and really enjoy it. sometimes it turns me off because I think they are faking it. Is faking it just something girls do for fun, or what is the deal with that? Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally.

Why do some black people feel the need to uphold the stereotype?

I live in the suburbs and im black. Most other black kids in my school are from the same area we went to the same elementary and middle school and some of them even sat next to me in english class. However out of nowhere they started talking ghetto and claiming to be ghetto acting loud, being belligerent, claiming to kno gang members and are all into their clothes and "swag" just like the rappers they see on the TV. Why do some black people do this, why can't they just be themselves instead of upholding the stereotype of ignorance?..IM not racist btw lol

Too cool to talk first? A question for everyone.?

Why do people feel like they are cool when they don't approach others first? I know this must seem like a rhetorical question but it really bothers me. I am not a person that bugs out when someone doesn't say hi first but its so freaking annoying. I wish people would stop slobbing their own knob and just get over themselves. I'm always the person to walk up and hug someone and all of the sudden they're just cool and comfortable as pie. Before that though they'll see whoever and just stare at them and wait. Why? Why do YOU think people have something to prove by acting completely reclusive till someone barks up their tree?

I would get help but it would be more harmful than helpful to OTHERS?

With 'on and off' depression, I don't understand why you want to see a therapist in the first place. You said it yourself that nothing is wrong with you now. You see, everybody has depression at times, and so do you, but that doesn't mean you need to run to a therapist or a doctor because that depression goes away on its own. It's when you've been depressed for several weeks, non-stop, and it's affecting your life in general that you should seek professional help. You don't fit in that category.

Does anybody know anything about game testing as a profession?

I do like to play video games. I fit the stereotype, mid 20's, plays video games.. The experience I like to get out of them when played is simple. I just want to beat the game. All I'm concerned with is was the game good/bad and this is what I would do to improve the gaming experience. I could honestly care less about the story line. I'm more concerned with the graphics, gameplay, & complexity of controls. I like to be able to say I've played everything once as apposed to playing the same game for a couple years

My new neighbors MIGHT be neglecting their dog?

You can report to animal control and let them handle it...however if they don't find an issue the dog will be left where it is...as for the barking all night, either go over there and nicely let the neighbors know the dog's barking is keeping you up or call the cops and let them handle it (but it's always best to try to handle those things yourself before involving the law)...

How can you tell an abusive situation (parent/adult child)?

What are the signs and symptoms. This person has a stuttering problem, reclusive and does not come out of the house. She has bizzare behavior. Her father is frightful even to be around...people do and have heard them have sex.

Why are some people so ignorant and close minded when it comes to race?

I'm a black woman and I'm always stereotyped as loud and angry before people even talk to me...but I am anything but that. I'm quiet, I speak well and I get straight A's in college. But when people get to know me, they say I'm trying to be white. It's like no matter what I say or do, they have to put something negative on it. Why? It happens mostly in my romantic life as well because the guys see me and they write me off as the "stereotypical" black woman but the ones who do get to know me reject me because "I'm too white" Why are people like this?

Why do metalheads hate emos?

Seriously its starting to get on my nerves. I wouldnt exactly call myself an "emo" but i listen to some hardcore such as old escape the fate, devil wears prada but i also love metal bands such as graveworm cannibal corpse slayer venom bathory immortal dimmu borgir the old cradle of filth negura bunget darkthrone destroyer 666 etc. I listen to almost all kinds of metal and rock and im not depressive or "cut myself". So my question is why do some metalheads act like such @$$3$ were all about being different and being ourselves and enjoying our music and not giving a crud about what normal people look at us but it seems like metalheads are acting like all those other people and are judging us. are they really that stupid to believe the stereotypes?

Can I sue my teacher for unjust marking?

You'd be better off seeking some sort of resolution from the school administration rather than jumping into some sort of legal battle.

What should I do about my sister?

I feel like she is evil and does not want to me excel because everytime she hears me moan about having an unproductive day or gaining weight or having friends problems, she has this smirk on her face and she then feels the need to boast about how that part of her live is going well......Please tell me ways to clear this up...she has been doing this so long now that i really do think she'd be sincerely happier if she saw me failing at life...thanks x

Help!! This isn't that long but i am worried bout my friend?

Why don't you try helping him yourself? Don't just offer advice! Go, help him! You could do it in an indirect way, something like leaving a sum of money under his rug, helping him with his studies or just offering to babysit. I would do that, if I were you. Those are just examples, but I am sure you can come up with some other ideas.

Sagittarius Males.........................…

Well my boyfriend is a sagittarious. And I remember everyone said he was gonna be gay but then he started dating me. He's really grossed out by gay people, I would know haha. But sometimes what he talks about or talks to his friends makes him sound gay, hahaha. Idk it's hard to explain. But he's completely straight.

I don't know what I should do?

Me and previous ex broke up a couple of months ago and back while we were dating I knew she had a thing with her bestfriend who happens to be a guy which she knows since ever but she also liked me so I didn't really say anything. Yesterday was his birthday and then afterwards he posted on my FB wall saying "I fu**ed Kate." boasting it, saying he got more action than me with her. I know for a fact its true so just go with me. I felt really betrayed and pissed at the same time. He's lucky he lives an hr away. But is that even right? having sex with a bestfriend of the opposite sex? I mean I have pretty close bestfriends but I would never do that. Whats messed up is this kid is still in 8th grade. I'm tempted to text her and say something about it but we haven't texted since our break up.

Are you a reclusive person?

well i'm a little loud at school and have lots of friends, but at home i'm different. if i'm outside and someone is walking by, i'll either walk around to the back of the house or go back inside. and sometimes i dont want to go to parties cuz i'll be forced to chill with people i dont really know

Was he being prejudice/racist to me..? ?

Its hard to tell, did he seem like he was joking around? And I think he was just being a jerk. I've seen this kind of thing happen a lot to Muslim friends of mine. Esp at bars and places where people are less inhibited then usual. Its really sad but there are some people who are just idiots and there's not much you can do about that.

Need Help With Aristotlee?

I'm in a Philosophy class and this is a practice final exam question. we need to say what Aristotle believes is the virtuous thing to do in both situations? Which virtues would be displayed? Can anyone please help because i've read Aristotle Nicomachean Ethics like 3 times and I still don't get it...anyways here is the case...Case #1:
The Young Lady:

It is 1942 and you are a young Jewish woman, deeply committed to your faith, living just outside of Paris. The Germans have occupied France for some time now, have set up a government of their own and are enforcing many of their own laws. As the government has been engaged in the practice of deporting all Jewish citizens to concentration camps and systematically killing them, you are working with an “underground” system that has successfully enabled hundreds of Jewish citizens living in Paris to escape the country and avoid the German authorities. Your role in this “underground” railroad is minor, but given the nature of the cause your work is obviously very important to you.

While you have managed to keep your Jewish identity hidden from German authorities, there arises a certain situation. One day, while working for a small bookshop in Paris, the owner, who does not know that you are Jewish, begins talking about how much he dislikes Jewish people, that he believes they are the cause of many if not all of the problems that plague Europe today, and that he has been working with the government as an informant. “Because of me,” he boasts, “many Jews who have hidden their identity from the government have been discovered and ‘dealt with.’” 

He continues to insult Jewish people and their faith. You feel like you must say something because of the constant insults, but you fear that by revealing your faith you most likely will be sent to your death. What is the virtuous thing to do? 





Is this any good (3 sentences, 1 paragraph)?

Sounds good. I would make it reproductive offspring or fertile offspring. Also, I would get rid of "suited to the direction of this essay" and fix the "so too did" which sound really awkward in the 3rd sentence.

How to handle my ex after being broke up for almost a year?

Ok so its almost been one year since my ex and I broke up. We've had some major fights, tried to be friends, and ultimately ended up not talking for long periods at a time. He dated someone else about 5 months after we broke up but they only lasted a month. I've been on some dates but no one has sparked my interest, and he's always in the back of my mind. We do still talk, especially when anything important happens, such as a new job or family matter. Recently we started talking again due to the passing of his grandmother. I am worried about him because he tends to become very reclusive when he's upset, and I know it was painful for him to watch her pass from a terminal illness. I really do genuinely care about him and miss him, but I am unsure of what to do about it. I feel like now isn't the right time to try and discuss this with him, but he is constantly on my mind. I really am unsure of how to deal with this. I would really appreciate any insight that could be given to this, and any suggestions on when and how to try and put this on the table.

It's not exactly easy to talk to politicians whenever you want. And you have to remember that there are a number of reasons someone goes vegetarian, not just for the animals even though that is the main reason most people do it. There are also the health benefits and benefits to the earth.

Why can baseball players get drafted out of High school but not basketball players?

Greats like Kobe, Lebron, Kevin Garnett and Dwight Howard came out of high school but they made a rule banning that now. If college is about education why do schools complain about athletes who want to go professional instead of going to school for one year and then dropping out shouldn't they reserve their scholarships for those who care the point of college is not to boast a sports a program. And why do people never complain about baseball athletes skipping college.

Christian: If I take the gift of eternal life by choosing Jesus, isn't this something done to "earn" grace?

Recently diagnosed with developmental disorder and just recovering from 2yrs of severe depression......advice?

Check with your doctors. They can better determine if your disability is hindering your ability to "handle those things on your own." Regardless, if your mother is disconnected from the care you need, maybe you need to live somewhere else?

Elusive 60s song. Title and group; please!?

I'm looking for a title and group name of a 60s song that is really reclusive. They sound British; but I could be wrong. Also, while I can hum out the melody, the lyrics are eluding me. I have what I THINK are some of them: "I know I should love you; but somehow I couldn't. I wish I could hold you in my arms; but somehow I wouldn't. But each I day as I go about my way..." Any ideas? Thanks! I heard this song in a store again after so long; but couldn't grasp it; too noisy inside!

Do you support Herman Cain's 3 page Bill policy?

Apparently he perpetuates the stereotype that Black people don't read and that's OK with Conservatives

Why do some Christians say there is no hell (part 2)?

It is a parable. The fact is, you can only draw out the main point of a parable. To expound doctrine based on peripheral points is not sound exegesis. The Wages of sin is death. There is no perpetual torture. Sin and sinners are DESTROYED in the lake of fire that purifies the earth so YAHUSHUA can make all things new, and very good.

Poll: On a scale of 1-10, how badly stereotyped are each of these groups...?

What do you think of the first chapter of my story?

great idea! interesting beginning and good job alluding to previous events important to your narrator. I think you need to work on grammar and make sure to edit this draft. There are ways of writing to show emotion without using non-sentences like "damn." or "screw them." Look at some of your favorite books and try to emulate their style of writing. Published authors use tools to convey the messages and emotions of their characters without saying outright how they feel. In other words showing instead of telling.

Why are white people so scared of blacks?

Why do the ignorant insist on ruining a legitimate debate?

i honestly believe that in this world not all humans are "human". i'm not talking about aliens or anything like that, just some people can relate closer to animals and that mental capacity than those that are truly honest, noble, honorable, reasonable and most importantly loving, conscious beings. look up the "gom jabar human trial" metaphor from the Dune novel, it will help you understand my meaning.

Have you ever dealt with being distinctly different from your family?

Does anyone else have a really awkward family situation? See I became a Muslim like a year ago but I still live with my parents and it’s just really awkward when we’re all out together because I wear hijab and fully cover myself but my mom wears shorts and tank tops so people are constantly staring at us and seem surprised when I call her mom. It’s the same with my step dad because we’re two completely different skin tones and simply look nothing alike. At least my mom and I look like each other in the face. I feel like I’m the only one in the world who could possibly be going through a scenario like this. I hate the awkwardness when we introduce ourselves to new people and I’m not going to use our real names but it’s similar to “I’m bob, this is my wife sally, and this is our daughter ihtisham.” Like my name is Arabic so it sounds distinctly different than theirs. And my mom is a huge show off so she boasts about my accomplishments a lot to her coworkers but when I visited her job for the first time it took me forever to get past security because no one believed that “Sally Jenkins” could possibly be my mother and every one made comments like “She’s not what I expected” or things like that. When my mom and I are out in the city together people often mistake me for some lost immigrant following a woman around when all I’m doing is hanging out with my mom. Sigh it really bothers me that the world can’t seem to accept the idea that every family isn’t cookie cutter and exactly what you’d expect them to be. I always find myself feeling like “the random Muslim girl”. So does anyone else have any experiences of being distinctly different from your family at all?

What stereotype am i?

all my friends are scene, emo, prisses, sporty, hipsters, heshers, and they all have names, but none of the stereotypes fit me. i'm a teenager who likes little kid stuff, rainbows and unicorns, hot topic, and screemo music. i stand out from the crowd a lot. i know i shouldnt be asking for a stereotype. but i want one! i wear little bows in my hair, skinny jeans, tight t-shirts, and have swoopy hair.

Sorry for the novel but i'm confused....quick advice please?

I'll try to sum this up as best as possible....I'm dating a Doc student who is divorced, over year and half now, and in the beginning (week into it) relationship was bliss. about the second week, things changed and I noticed (or felt distance) between her and I, no worries just htought it was me being too sensative. the week before Vday someone sent her a fruit basket at work. No worries on my end, but she was pretty bothered by it and wantd time alone? telling me that since she met me guys were coming out of the wood work approaching her and she wants to make sure she is making the right decision. (wtf???) So anyway i communicate to her that i'm botherd that this is bothering her.... so time progresses, and the sunday before Vday i try to surprise her by popping up w/ flowers. it was around 9:30pm. she wasnt home (not like her btw bc she studies alot...so i think). so i drop off the flowers w/ a note and called but got vm so i lft her a mssg. then sent a text.... no response.... hours go by, well pst midnight still nothing... .so i go by her place only to notice everything is still the same she never been home.... i'm worried now...things going through my mind.... the nxt day (vday) she wanted me to pick her up at work and not at her home???.... so i did... noticed immediately that her hair was all over the place and her clothes lookd as if they were thrown on w/o much care.....and she looked very very tired..... the day progressed well as i processed everything that went on....at the end when i dropped her off i tried communicating my concern to her and i note the way she is dressed as affirmation of my concern ( or to validate my theory that she did not sleep at home)....i used the word un kept which apperently offended her, but no once did she answer my question.....ne way later on that day she told me she needs time to be alone. i told her i respect that....couple days go by not much convo, but later that evening we talked via text about the song that i wrote to her and how she wanted to hear it "one day" but she also stated to me how 'things would be easier if we lived together and i was coming home...but that's not the case".... i responded how we should take it one step at a time and we said goodnight....anyway the week progresses and not much convo between her and I....and on Friday and saturday i made an attempt to go by her house late (again around midinight b/c i have been having this feeling) and what do i see? she never was home...at all. which only confirms that she been sleeping somewhere else.... let me also note that i have made several attempts to talk to her about this w/o pointing any fingers or making judgment calls. I told her how i want us to be Open and honest in how we communicate (b/c i have been open and honest the whole time we've been dating)....she keeps telling me that it's her schooling studying for her PHD and working fulltime which is why she has no time for me.....and though i do understand that getting a Phd is no cake walk aswell as working full time on top of that.....but what does being gone all night have to do w/ it?? .... i didnt say this to her of course b/c after the incident on Vday.... i've been rather reclusive and kept my comments and concerns to myself to try and keep the peace, hoping that, if infact she is being untruthful, she will soon tell me..... but guys i don't know what to do really. thanks for ur help
