Right now I'm about to start my second semester of college away from home, and so far, it has so far been a really uncomfortable experience for me. Coming from extremely over-protective parents who have always kept me sheltered, it's been very hard to interact with other people and go out in public. I'm uncomfortable to the point that I sit in the back corner of the cafeteria everyday facing the wall and filled with lots of anxiety doing so. Of course I don't go out anywhere with friends or anyone, but just walking out of my dormroom I am very uncomfortable. Like, I know college is a bit of an adjustment for most people, but it's already been a few months and I hate living here more and more. Yes, I did have this problem in public school, but it's worse being on my own, especially with a roommate I don't get along with and no friends. Does or did anyone have a problem similar to this, and if so, is there anyone that could help? Thanks in advance. :)

Hey everyone, Im a 25 yearold advanced guitarist. My mum is always telling me to enter talent contests, and now is putting pressure on me to enter the new upcoming Simon Cowell programme, You've Got Talent. She phoned up and left details and got a form posted out (all without me knowing) I have just told her I really don't want to do it- so I didn't fill the form. She said she is going to fill it out and send it. I don't have a band and I don't sing and I don't give a poop about being famous. But I feel guilty, and hard to explain to mum my feelings about this. I really ain't cut out for this sort of thing, and all it does is embarass and annoy me when she keeps bringing stuff like this up. She just doesn't understand my feeling. I'm not a confident person and never will be, also (as a guitarist) I am not good enough to become professional. Singers dont need music theory and reading ability to become famous- just a good voice. I feel like sh!t, what do I do? Best ansa chosen as always

what do you think of this.....many people in the work force are subject to drug testing at any time by thier employer. these people pay taxes to our government. the government then distributes money to those in the welfare system.
shouldnt these people, who are receiving the earning of the worker, also be subject to drug testing?
why or why not?

I've noticed in our workplace that two women can have the exact same idea, but if it is put forward by both, only the attractive looking one will get results. It seems to be the same everywhere. There's also no "solidarity" with the various women, they are constantly cutting each other to pieces. There sure seems to be some biases still alive.

In your opinion, what ethnic group has the greatest percentage of "bad" people. I'm talking about the anti-social, stubborn, simple minded ones. I can think of some really bad places in the Balkans, but I thought I'd throw the question out here.

Now money will begin to circulate a bit better. The economy should pick up. What do you think? Yes I know.........some of you dooms-dayers are going to say... "INFLATION"... NOT! Only if Wall Street uses it as a justification to raise prices out of proportion to the increase......

I have never known of anyone on pot committing a violent act. It's amazing that they can even get off the couch. But often people who have murdered and raped people say they had been smoking pot, or doing crack etc. do you think the drugs were a factor or just an excuse? Are there statistics about this?

I simply said Adolf Hitler said some good things - like provide welfare, pull Germany out of poverty, band the Germans together, and other things. I KNOW HE KILLED ALL THOSE PEOPLE. I think he was a bad person who did some good things, and now my family calls me the "Neo-Nazi". He was crazy yes, but he single-handedly led an entire nation out of one of the worst enflations the world has ever seen and nearly conquered THE WORLD, so he must have been a good leader.

I KNOW KILLING JEWS AND OTHER PEOPLE IS WRONG. BUT THAT IS THE ONLY THING STRESSED ABOUT HIM AND ALL EVERYONE EVER MENTIONS.

And now that I want to learn German that dosen't help matters. I think German sounds cooler and is easier to learn. Plus, I don't like Spanish and French.

So please, am I a bad person for thinking this way. Maybe I need someone to talk to.

When I go to message boards I often like to express philosophical opinions rather than just giving the facts. More often than not posters violently attack what I said and will be very rude. This happens constantly and they make me feel like I commited a crime. Some boards will tell me I can't say those things and kick me out of the board. I don't understand this behavior. What is the problem with someone wanting to express philosophical opinions?

Generally, except for some "odd" people who are not characteristic of their gender, males and females have traditionally been distinguished in personality. For example, males tend to build up anger more, etc. What causes this?

I asked earlier if science could explain the presence of human emotions, and I get 50000 people telling me about chemical receptors in the brain. It's my fault I guess. What I should have asked was, "Can science explain WHY we "evolved" with emotions, or why animals have the same. Last I checked, they couldn't...
