Social Science - 18 December 2006

I'm a shy and soft-spoken person, but I'll sporadically open up to some people for a quick moment. Normally I'm VERY quiet but I will occasionally open up. I imagine that it is somewhat like what a snail does. I'll come out of my shell for a few minutes, then quickly go back in. When I do open up though, I find that I talk really fast and feel as if I'm rambling. Like today, I started talking to someone I'm usually very quiet around, which is probably a good thing because they actually heard me speak. But I realized that I was talking a mile a minute and I don't even know if what I said made sense. I'm wondering if I totally turned this person off or if I will now become an annoyance because of how quickly I talked.

Is talking fast a common thing among shy people who try to open up? Why does this occur? Are people turned off because of it and do they find it annoying?

Nowadays, people are growing more and more wealthy, so wealthy, in some cases, that they are consumed with greed (we all remember Ebenezer Scrooge). But the monthly taxes (and yearly income) are getting higher and higher, and for some people, a large income cannot cover all the taxes. If this keeps up, we may all soon have an income that is similar to that of Bill Gates or Donald Trump or Oprah Winfrey yet we still may not be able to keep up wth the rising taxes. So I ask you:
In how many years will someone with a yearly income of $1,000,000 be considered poor?
I'd say in about 20-30 years, but I'm not a psychic: I can't recieve premonitions of the future, or of the future minimum wage.

My family went on a vacation this summer, and we were spending a week at my cousin's house in Annapolis. On maybe the fourth day, me and my cousin were talking about school (she was going off to college in Hawaii (where I live)). Somehow, the conversation turned to being about friends, and I was asked to name my friends In school (I'd just finished my second year of college). At that moment, I came to realise that I didn't have any friends, that I had probably gone several days the previous semester without saying a single word at school. I kept avoiding her question, because I didn't want to say "I don't have any friends", but she kept asking me and asking me. Finally, I ended up naming a couple random people that I don't even know, and making up a couple names. I was crushed inside; ever since then, I have become at times very depressed about being so shy and alone....

for example in third world countries often those in charge will use it to get money and power and abuse the position. instead of trying to repair the system, they just walk all over everyone else for thier own greed.

A friend of mine keeps staring at me but I've been ignoring for a long time because I figured that it's really early in the morning and some of us lose focus so we just gaze. However, I've ignored him for a few months but now he and his friend stares at me together. The other day, his eyes followed wherever I was going. So it's kind of creeping me out lately.

Has anyone else ever done that? Just stare at your friend or someone you know and have your eyes follow them just for the hell of it [not as a joke]? Anyone have insights and experiences with a situation like this as the "one staring" and/or "one being stared at" please share! ^^
