I'm african american and dominican and sometimes I feel as if I don't belong. I sometimes think I am too fat or my hair is too short. I constantly try to lose weight but I never pull through and I'm aiming for a size 6 with measurements of 36-24-35. I feel as if since my skin color is darker than most people automatically shun me away and think I have a ghetto black hip hop way of life/personality. When the truth is its totally diffrent. I even tried to look for skin bleaching materials..I just really need to build my self confidence and I don't know how?...PLEASE HELP ME!!!

I see it everywhere, especially in museums, shops etc. I assume it's related to hearing difficulties, but what exactly does it mean? Also there's another one with the letter "T", and a diagonal line through it. Appreciate your help. Thank you.

Yes, its true....whether you are middle aged or beyond, if you are financially independent you can easily get any number of drop dead gorgeous young men who will worship you. So much better than those old guys with their viagra, these guys don't need it!
Funny you say, but true....oh, isn't that what so many North American men are doing? So why not then?

I have a colleague in work that is jealous of me. He watches and copies everything I do. If I sign up for or do a course he says "I think I should do that course too"!

Should I be flattered or tell him to go and get an imagination of his own?

I just felt such peace and joy the strange part of this dream is that in real life I am very happily married over 13 years, what could this dream mean?

I have had this since i was a child and it is very scary. It is where you get stuck in between sleep and being awake. Your mind is awake but your body wont move. In this state people usually have the same kind of crazy dreams. Depending on where i fall asleep, different things pin me down on the bed and choke me and i am powerless to stop it. If i fall asleep in my bedroom its a black shadow, downstairs its a hag, others include goblins and some pr1ck who has no teeth and scruffy black hair, he is the worst. He pulls me around the room by my feet like there is no gravity and across the walls. When he does this i can see my own body in bed. If you do suffer this horrible problem, what happens to you?

Were you the only child of parents and other family who so adored you they granted your every wish? Did you grow up feeling better than others? Were you (are you) greedy, selfish, egotistic and used (or still do use) others as pawns in your life to satifsy whatever need you have at the time? But now, you have recovered from all of this. You began to realize that you are related to others, that you are like them. Most importantly, did you learn to realize to it is wise to be helpful and kind to others? If so, what made you change? How did you learn to stop being such a selfish mean and self centered person? Any particular event or circumstance? Or was it many things?

For example,in a Story, such as The Phantom Of The Opera, would you be attracted more to the Phantom, or Raul? And why are you attracted to your chosen Character? You don't have to use this Story for your answer, I was just using it to explain what the question means.

My friend once told me when dealing with whatever my teenage soon throws at me;
1. always keep a sense of humour.
2. choose the battles wisely.
3. whatever your teenager throws at you always remember you have taught them well.

And a Spiritual teacher once told me to not to look for faults in others but only look for faults in myself and rid my mind of these faults.
These are what i consider the best pieces of advice given to me, what are yours???

I am 28 and feel like there is so much passion and exhilaration inside of me, yet I am still Ms. Average. I have so much education and have worked so hard to become the person I think I'd like to be, but I still have no idea what I want out of life. So many people I speak to say the same thing - they know that they want a better life but cannot specifically pinpoint exaclty what to do to get out of the self-dug hole. I have read so many books on self-improvement, done courses, been to university - have re-trained in at least 10 different careers, yet still feel lost. Does everyone else feel the same - like there is something special inside of you, but after a while, you start to feel as though maybe life is just a treadmill and only a few 'lucky' people get to have amazing fulfilling lives? What is the point to life? How do you become a self-made successful person? It seems that arrogant, selfish people seem to get a lot further than kind and loving people. Why is this so? Thanks! x x
