Social Science - 22 October 2006

There are individuals very active on Yahoo! Answers for a long time who have answered a gazillion questions but asked none or very few. What's up with this? I mean a lot of them don't even act like know-it-alls, even some who appear to be polymaths.

I've been in a spot for a long time...having to take to the roads on foot.and cover alot of territory. I've been picked up by folks from all WALKS OF LIFE. The conversations are interesting..at times non-existent.....But a few have literally taken me into their vehicle and shown me true compassion and un-relenting love...A nice couple picked me up once and bought me breakfast!!!! Another gentleman gave me $20 when I got out..to buy a nice shirt!!! In accepting these gifts/offerings...I felt a sort of glow..while feeling guilty for accepting charitable action from someone who doesn't even know me. The ones who pick me up are absolutely great people. Although a certain amount of bravery is involved on both ends....My courage has never failed me. My only worry is that the ones who trust me are not led to believe that all hikers are safe. Be careful and watch yourself. God Bless those who can see when someone who needs a lift.

Does that mean you're beautiful with contacts and ugly with contacts?

They say "you look better with contacts" without you asking them.

If you hardly wear your contacts, you've been wearing your glasses, and suddenly you start wearing them, but nobody notices. Does that mean that people think you are so beautiful that they can't tell if you're wearing contacts or glasses? I'm talking about the people that never seen you in contacts.

You are really sweet to others, you're not skanky and you are outgoing.

What do you think it means?

This is about a boy I really like. We have known each other for 10 years, and he has always liked me. About 4 months ago, he told me he liked me and wanted to kiss me, and I said okay. Then when the time came, I just said no because I didn't feel comfortable. He was angry at first, then he said he understood. Then the relationship started to go really well and it became pretty serious. Then I came home from holidays and the school term started. There was another disco, and at this disco he started flirting with another girl. He kissed her. I was SO devastated. Then I pretended to act casual about it, and asked him did he kiss anybody. He said yes. But then he said that he regretted kissing that somebody and that he had thought about me since the disco. I was overjoyed. I told him I really liked him as well. It turned out his FRIEND sent this message, and I felt totally humiliated. Now, the guy and this girl are going out.
i KNOW i should get over it but I cant!! Is there hope?

Why do some beautiful and gorgeous people think they're ugly and won't believe anyone else when they tell them they're beautiful or gorgeous?

While ugly people think they're beautiful even though others tell them they're ugly and won't believe them?

Do ugly people have higher self esteem?

Make sense?
