This probably overshadows a much larger area of my life. I was wondering if anybody has any serious advice or knows of any useful books in regards to effective speaking. My childhood was extremely shy so I rely heavily on abstract thought processes which throws off my timing completely during everyday speaking situations. Most of the time (especially with the opposite sex) it is always after the fact that I figure out what I should have said, or wanted to say. I want to learn how to convey my ideas more clearly and in a concise manner. Any advice in relation to this would be much appreciated. Thank You.

Stand in front of the mirror for like an hr and just like talk yourself down? Like just stand there and belittle yourself. Every mornign no matter where I am going I will stand in front of the mirror obsessing over my face, my clothes, and my figure. When I do finally tear myself away I feel totally drained and crappy. Tell me im not the only one!

I actually get it sometimes when I say, "I just got déjà vu," and it feels like I already said that before in the exact same scenario.

I was having a discussion with someone not too long ago, and they told me that back in medieval days, there was no such thing as childhood innocence; that children were not deemed too young to learn about the realities of life, meaning that they could be told anything without the truth being sugarcoated, and that the idea of "the innocence of the child" is something that was created by the media and was just recently adopted ( by recently I mean within the last hundred years or so). Can anyone comment on this? Thoughtful answers only, please. Thanks.

If a person avoids instant gratification all their lives do you consider them to be non-human in a way since instant gratification is part of human nature just like being social in nature.

My father is a pig. I love him-but a pig. My best friend is hispanic, my other best friend is black and the other is gay. My friends have been in my life for mostly over 25 years. So at holiday we are all together, in recent years, my Dad has been smarting off with comments or "firestarters" to get people mad. He does it when I'm out of the room. SO I can't nip it in the bud. So what do you think?

Do you remember feelings?

If you die in your dreams do you die in real life?

I was abused as a child, my mother is still with him, they live next door, he always accused me of looking to have sex with someone everytime I wanted to do something with school, now my boyfriend accuses me of wanting someone else if I work in a bar( as a bartender) or selling roses, I feel like I have traded my step father for my boyfriend that they are almost one in the same. to both anytime I want to do anything I am wanting to run the streets and be a whore. I am not a "cheater" as my boyfriend coins the phrase, but am constantly under suspicion, I cannot go anywhere .my mother also comes over and has to discuss her lack of sexual relations with my step father and his internet activities. all her suspicions of infidelities on his part I feel like I am surrounded by people who only care about sex, and who only think that is what my brain consists of. Everything else I do is belittled, ridiculed, even that is critisized. I am depressed, seems like its been a problem my whole life!

How do I help someone overcome their fear of failure when they are too impatient to overcome it? For example, someone wants to sing but is afraid they can't learn to sing well and they are too impatient to work the long months it will take to improve their singing. If they can't see results right away, they give up.
