If u are a solitary or person who keeps to themselves not out of shyness or because of other reasons but because they want to be except with a few select people.. does that make them "grow up" faster mentally and become more mature and wise within themselves then others of there own age counterparts? or is it just coincidence that they happen to be much more mature and wise then there peers. it seems that many more intellectual people are less sociable except to select few people who they keep close... is it all true? ive always wondered... maybe im just weird? who knows. or maybe i should start hanging out with old people who take things into account more of the way i do

Sorry for the disturbance, but there is one problem that make me irritate and slightly can't concentrate my studies as well...... I really don't know what happening to my friend..... Is he really that serious to tell me that he want to be my enemy? Perhaps, it may be a half fact since after that word he spoken out, he often avoid me when I start to mingle with him and intentionally spoke me a harsh word. Did he have a plan to make me angry? Is he just joking? Honestly, we have a close competition in academic matter. Is this fight involve in this matter? Hope there is someone who can make me an advise........

about two yrs ago I was overseas in australia with a friend, and we hung out with a good (gay) friend. We went out to dinner and he invited a coworker to come. This guy was a great looking guy, and I was instantly attracted, we flirted all during dinner, he was charming, and filled my wine glass when I was empty (first hint). He also got my friend very drunk too. We went to hang out at a club lounge, were we danced and kissed. And I was okay with this. By time we left my friend and I were pretty drunk and somehow I didn't go home with them I ended up at this guys house, (i think my friends thought I wanted to go). I remember thinking I didn't want to have sex with him, so when things started heating up, I remember saying I didn't want to, but I think i only said it once. I felt helpless, and never fought it. In my head I was so drunk that I felt like it was my fault and that I didn't have a choice. I don't remember much, but I know I didn't want to, for months after I blamed myself.

Why do I seem to get bored so easily and lose interest so fast? What's wrong with me? Thrill appears to be so important to me that if I don't get it I become melancholic and moody at once.

Why is it that when some people are confronted with hard logical, faultlessly calculated and correct facts, they choose not to change their understanding? Answer that one?

Okay, here is my experiment. I am going to have four tables each with four different colors nail polish. Infront of the nail polish will be small plaques that have their names. Some will have long, (silly) names and others will have plain names such as "red" or "blue." Then we will offer free medicures to young girls and ask them to choose their table, and then color in 10 seconds. So I am studying if the more in-depth names have an effect on choice. I really need some good background research. Please help. I need a few pages by January 8th. Thanks.

While I was watching Nightmare Before Christmas for some reason I kept like feeling tears in my eyes in different bits of the movie, this is not the first time that I saw the movie, and by the way I am a 17 year old boy. Am I a sissy?

So my parents every year decide they are going to do a cetain thing for us four kids during Christmas. Since it is my step-dad and mom, my brother and I usually give gifts to each toher and my mom and step-dad, we dont usually buy for our step-brother/sister and vise versa. So my step-siblings this year decided to tell my parents they were only going to do for their onw children and noone else, no problem, i never expect anything from them, but dang my brother and I still bought for our parenst as they are our parents and our parets have been wonderful to us over the years.

the question I have is actually why my ste-siblings who have acually been more well tajen care of than my borther and I feel they can shirk their responsibilty as children to even get our parents a freaking card? I mean there was nothing, alos they ungraciously accept our parents gifts as if they were expecting more?

How can they have the nerve to act so superior to the rest of us?
how can they be so arrogant

I have a mother that seems to have a drinking problem. She tries to hide her drinks, act like she hasn't drunken anything, or just anything she can possibly do to hide the fact that she doesn't have a problem with it. It seems as if she has to drink everyday or VERY close to everyday.

I've talked to her more than 25 times it counting, no lie. I've prayed for years. I've tried to pour out her drinks/bottles. I've done EVERYTHING I could possible do.

It seems like nothing will help me. What should I do?

She tells me she'll quit more than 20 times, and never has. She's sweared, promised, and all that. I'm scared for her because I know it's possible to get lung cancer, and she's already had surgery for a tumor in her stomach, so it makes me even MORE scared.

Someone PLEASE tell me what to do. I've been as patient as I could.

do you believe that stem cell research should be able to happen to save people who are dying from diseases. We should NEVER use them to clone ourselves. Just wanted you opinion.

We all know how others judge by race and gender, but is judging another by his/her age any less 'evil'?

She's 23, and recently had a bad breakup and problems with her family coming from it. I've talked and comforted her but she's still seriously thinking about suicide. I can't follow her around all day so are there any simple methods i can use? Please don't give answers that involve involving someone else.

Anyone else like this? For example today we went to my aunts to celebrate Christmas. There is about 15 of us in this house and its pretty small for all of us. I got really uncomfortable. Like I had no escape. I got nervous and really felt nauseous. I just couldn't wait to leave. I have noticed I do that when I go to crowded places. Also when I ride in cars. I get uneasy. I prefer to drive myself. I feel most comfortable when I am in control. Its not that I do not enjoy going out. I do enjoy going but only when I know there isn't a crowd and I can drive. I consider myself a homebody but I do not consider myself a hermit. I just don't know what is wrong with me? Is this some kind of condition to be like this? I made it through the day okay but I hardly ate when at aunts adn just kept moving around to keep calm. Its kind of uncomfortable because I wish I could just sit still. I have accepted me being this way, but anyone else like this or close.

I understand the other implications about race, religion, etc. But with this kind of responsibility; to make sure that the human race survives, would you hope for the best and procreate with another mammal animal, e.g. ape, chimpanzee, etc?
