I have a stress issue. i was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder and agorophobia (fear of outside/large places w/ people). i really dont like people. when im around anyone, my friends, bf, even my parents, i get this little anxiety feeling. school is absolute hell: i dread getting to school the second i wake up and its all i think about on the bus, i have a hard time sitting in class, i come home and all i can think about is the next day, which makes me have bad dreams which makes me wake up anxious, etc. im not bullied at school or anything, i jus dread sitting in quiet classrooms with lots of people around me. i dread going to the fair, movies, dentist appointments etc. i have lots of friends which is a problem, because i always have to go places (yes, "have" not "get to") i get good grades, dont do drugs, blahblah. recently ive stopped feeling. yes, i just stoped. i dont get happy at christmas or mad when people lose my things. my mom keeps telling me to smile. i really only feel

She bothers me each time I go outside.Even when I am cutting the grass,she comes over and wants to tell me about her latest bad date,etc.With 4 children,at times the only 'alone time' I get is when I am gardening,but lately I do it only when I see she has left.It's almost like she sits there by her window,and as soon as I step outside,she is right there.She is the same age as I am--40,and is divorced with 1 child (who lives with his dad.)Help!

Think back on everything that you have ever hated or were angry at,doesn't it usually start with fear?First you feared the spider.Then you started to hate the spider.I don't know about the anger part for this example.

One of my professors said that most men lead lives of "quiet desperation", meaning that some men feel trapped in relationships, high-pressure jobs and with too much responsibility. Is this true, and if it is, how are you dealing with it?

think they are special enuff to have a 'congressional black caucus' and many other organizations as well? why dont we have a 'white congressional caucus'? dont those blacks who are members of those organizations realize they are deepening the divide between themselves and the rest of the usa by making a separate group only for their color? it doesnt advance their cause; on the contrary it keeps racism in the forefront of our society. people are people right? white, black, brown, yellow, it doesnt matter....we are PEOPLE. duh

I live with both of my parents. But my mom has told me this
No matter what the mother does the child will still love her the same and that the mom will always love the child. There is no bond greater than mother to child. I asked her what about father and she said it's just not the same. Hm...I've heard this before too. What do you think?
I feel a greater bond between me and my dad, BUT I can go longer without talking to my father and not feeling guilty than to my mother.

like while most teens are doing other activities (parties,video games..etc...),i engage in things that older adults do. some of those things include wacthing shows that normally a younger person will find boring, researching different topics, and lots of other stuff you normally wouldn't find a teen doing.

its like an older man in a young mans body (mental wise), my physical parts are still young and healthy.

is this ok?

The Q fitting the Q-box is the abbreviated headline Q. Here is the fully worded Q as I wanted to ask it: Marx said capitalism was based on exploiting the workers,but isn't it based on exploiting all the disadvantaged economic stakeholders including but not limited to the workers,customers,suppliers,communities and even fellow capitalists when they are in a distressed or disadvantaged state or happen to be experiencing unfortunately adverse business or political conditions.

At school, I am quiet and not that out going
I'm always the one who gets left behind.....
elaborating on this...I am always the last person who hears or even gets an opportunity for good grades..and I see all these people bragging about their damn GPA's, their scholarships and their majors
In gym, I am the last to get picked for a game and in one class, my gym teacher failed me cause I "refuse" to play. Nobody accepted me
I know this sounds crazy but I feel left out and all of these popular are getting the better things in life...like the grass is always greener on the other side

I'll admit it, I envy the people who has expensive material possessions

anything I can do....medication, therapy...bible?

Conversations with women seem to drag out forever about nothing. Useless information about food, likes, dislikes. I am hoping that because I am young I have no patience for this and falling asleep during a conversation is normal. Does this ever stop? This is really not meant as a flame.

Life is nothing but choices. Each choice we make presents us with a new set of choices, and the combinations are infinite. If you could change something from your past, would you? Do you think you would be the same person you are today?
