I'm talking about anyone, not just possible relationships. What do you seem to notice most about other people?
Is it something physical, like part of their appearance?
Or is it something about their inner self, like their personality?

Could I ever change my mind?

This person seems to make a point of not giving me what I want, has shown a certain propensity for self-centeredness and is hypersensitive to my disagreements. She has also put me on the spot when I am in the more vulnerable position in order to punish me for my disagreement (a disagreement in which I had the better argument, meaning that she couldn't refute it intellectually). But here's the thing. She shows some discomfort when doing it, like she's unable to face me directly when doing it. For example, if we were in the same room, she'd have to go do something on the end opposite to me right after putting me on the spot. It is easier for her to be cold and mean over the phone or in a social setting where she's in control and there are other people. In a more personal plane she can be nasty but when I react by leaving she tries to make amends. We had an educational relationship and she was never unfair grades-wise but she played some mean waiting games. I don't know what to think.

My downstairs neighbor is always yelling obsenties when I walk up and down the stairs to our apartment complex. He is downright irrating! I am moving in 15 days and have tried to remain peaceful for the sake of my children but I am about to lose it on his ***. The real catch here is that he is in a wheelchair, but that gives him no excuse. Am I wrong if I go off on him?

When he was born his Mom couldnt care for him emotionally ( at 6 months old a family member described him as "blank, no emotions at all") He was given to family members - 3 "sisters" (cousins) who loved him dearly and showed him great affection, and his aunt who showed him a love-hate relationship (she was mentally ill and physically abused him often if he acted out). He was eventually taken from there and put into foster care where he rebelled and ended up in juvinile detention until he turned 18. He has also been thru a lot of loss and trauma involving the death of family members and others close to him. When his past is so involved and confusing - where does he start? How does he "fix" himself? The desire is there, but we are both overwhelmed with his past. He functions fairly well overall - does that mean he is supressing his emotions? Is it possible someone could go thru so much and be "okay"?

i go to the wal mart barefoot all the time. people sometimes give nasty looks. people say it's because "no one wants to see your feet" and then they follow it up with "at least put on some flip flops!". with flip flops you can still see the whole foot, so why is it wrong one way, and not wrong the other?????

I was in a Dale Carnegie (spelling ?) course on management and they made this statement. Another person there and I burst out laughing at this statement. Is it true? I can't say it has been with some employees I've had in the past. It would be more like, "I just want to do enough to not get fired." If this is true is it possible that we might one day have no one "mooching" off the system like we do now.

Can a dog or cat, when they do something that people would turn red over, feel the emotion of embarrassment. Or if a large number of people were laughing at a cat / dog ?

A question that has plagued men for a long time. Just to clarify, my love for cars comes for a great part from the fascination of how engineers and mechanics can tune and tweek a machine of over 1000 parts to make a nice ride. Or my fascination with firearms comes solely from the fascination of how one can balance a few metal parts so finely that it can hit a target with pin point precision up to 1000 yards away. All my male friends look towards there interests pretty much the same. I have never been able to explain this view to a woman: to most of you a car is just 4 wheels and an engine that drive you places, or a gun is just something for hunting or killing. Do any of the ladies here feel differently? Why or why not

Someone very close to me has been on an antidepressent for about 6 months. He tried counseling but after 2 sessions he said he didnt want to go back because it made him feel more stressed to talk about his rocky past and troubling emotions. Is it possible that some people will not benefit from counseling because (a) they are being forced to go and (b) they dont want to be there?

I posted a question; essentially why should I continue to hope? Customer Service deleted it for contravening T&Cs.

I recently caught someone lying to me. I did not directly confront them, however, during a conversation I gave them clues to let them know that I was a aware of the truth. I am thinking now that I should be more direct with that person.

Most of the time it seems like people are willing tod o anything to fit in, whether it is making things up because their own life is boring or they just want attention because they are needy.
