I think that someone who steals from me should have his home burned to the ground and depending on how much I like his family they should all be killed. I truly think that a person who brings me harm should have his entire bloodline destroyed. I realize this is not in line with society but there has to be some evolutionary reason why I feel this way. Is this an ok way to see things?

I don't understand what is wrong with me. I really have no friends. I have a wonderful woman in my life, but I feel like I'm not worthy to have her. I have so many confidence issues and feel like I'm such a piece of **** sometimes. My girlfriend realizes that I have some confidence issues, but she has no idea how bad they are. I just want to make her happy. How can I be more confident? Can anyone else share their experiences with confidence problems with me because my issues greatly affect my relationship. I feel like I can't quite be myself. I'm not even sure what "myself" is sometimes because I'm so dull. I have a boring desk jobs, I don't have many hobbies (although I've tried finding some), and I am not a very funny person. HELP!

Today my cable television stopped working. Instead of thinking that my cable was accidentally damaged I automatically assume someone is trying to steal my cable. Now I am angry to the point where I would love to see this thief dragged from his home and gutted in front of his children. It is entirely possible that my cable was accidentally damaged yet I have a hard time accepting this possibility. The thought that someone is stealing my cable seems much more believable. What is going on with my thinking?

Ideas on how to cope, please.

It's gotten bad enough that I don't even leave the house (other than to buy food) because I don't want to parade my ugly face in front of others.

I have been feeling rare or strange sinse yesterday morning. I don't know why, but I feel like when I was little (about 8 years old); and I'm 21 now. What I mean by that is that I feel like I can't do nothing on my own, and like I want to run to my mom so that she can make me feel better.I started class today again in college, and I wasn't able to concentrate at all, I was just daydreaming most of the time. I don't know what's going on with me, or how to make myself feel better. Plus I feel like today is not my day because I had some small issues in school, which made everything worst.

I came across a photograph that terrified me so drastically last night, I actually put my hands up to cover the computer screen. I then backed out of the site and couldn't return to look at until this morning.


This is not some minor childhood fear, this felt like terror sinking into my bones. I could even feel a slight case of nausea building inside of me.

I've noticed that only two things help cure this occasional and overwhelming sense of horror. One is daylight...when I stand in daylight it seems as though I have just enough courage to face my fears. As if God himself is standing there, protecting me.

The other is companionship. When I'm in the presence of friends and loved ones my mind takes on a "strength in numbers" type mentality leading to more pseudo-bravery.

But once the suns sets and I'm alone again...that sense of foreboding sets in. Can someone elaborate on this please?

This is not my original idea, but this question has been bothering me for quet some time. The story goes like this: You take a fly and put it in a glass jar, and close the lid tight, you put the jar on a very accurate weight scale. If the fly is in motion (flying in the air and not sitting) at an instant moment when you measure the weight, will the jar be will this jar be heavier, lighter or the same weight as the same jar without the fly in it?
