When a person is confused about the details of a specific situation and gives you an option e.g 2 or 3 (He says, "I'm not sure 2 or 3.") which one is the most likely. This is just something I've been thinking about.

for me, i like doing well in school, making a lot of money, having my hair done nicely, being slim, not worrying about anything, feeling a sense of purpose, having a man that i love in my life, and being around my family (well most of them), and listening to and making music, and having good, true friends that i can laugh and joke around with.

Lawyers dont risk their lives, are not in any danger, dont have to do any strenuous work, if anything they should be paid less. Do you really think you can give an answer that would possibly change my mind? Do you think you are so wise and knowlegeable that you can say the first thing that pops into your mind and I will go, "wow I never thought of that before"? They go to university, "wow thats clever", give it your best shot i could use a good laugh.

How do I improve my oral communication skills. I tried reading more, looking up words in the dictionary, but no matter what I do I get mental blocks and stuck for words, it is like there is nothing in my memory...it is like my brain is empty. I even have a degree but sound like I do not have more than grade 10.

I was just wondering if anxiety can have any long range issues with your mind?I mean if you are logical and are just a little anxious about things and get depressed ,is it enough to make you just totally lose it?Can it influence you to a place of no return mentally or is that just a feeling that is temporary and that will pass..?Something that goes along with anxiety.I know that I have read that people with anxiety sometimes thinks they are going crazy but have been told people with anxiety feel that way sometimes and generally if you are questioning if you are crazy then you probably arent.Any ideas?

why do people read into the magazines and the hollywood image of perfection so much? it almost makes the dating scene next to impossible to navigate, and puts pressure on people to look good all the time. why can't people just relax and let their inner qualitys shine through?

I was wondering .Yesterday I wasn't feeling too well.. The wife had been sick the night before and stayed in bed.I had to be up going back and forth trying to take care of things.At the end of the day I laid down too and went to sleep.The snow was going to be here during the night.I slept and then woke about 10pm and then ate and went back to bed and the woke this morning with snow on the ground and decided why not sleep all day .Is there something abnormal about this?We have gone to the grocery a few days ago because we knew more snow was on its way ,no real reason to get out today and so I gave in and found I would rather be asleep with the weather bad than stay awake and watch a vast wasteland of snow.Pretty much what we have seen everyday since before December.It was nice at first but its been bitter cold.I started worrying ,is there something wrong with me that would make me want to be asleep than awake watching outside of is this common.Im in my 50's so what would you do?

I can't help it, and it has gotten on my last nerve, so I'm asking why is it that whether it be 6:33 am or 6:33 pm...I always seem to look at the clock at those specific and exact times. Is 6:33 from the Holy Scriptures (the Bible), or does it mean something else. This has been happening to me for several years and I just don't get it...maybe you do.

Just curious.I have heard this term alot from different people.What does it really mean?When you stay indoors for a long time in bad weather can you actually lose your mind?Does your mind play tricks on you ?Do you find you would rather sleep than stay awake and deal with the same view of a snowy wasteland? What is the outcome of this and can it have long term affects on you ?Can you acutally lose your mind or lose touch with reality or just get depressed from staying in? What is the full problems you have staying in?

how could people not suspect that jeffrey dahmer was a serial killer? i saw a documentary on him, and one of his neighbors said that "he never bought groceries." wtf? if someone living next to me or in my neighborhood "never bought groceries," i'd be a little suspicious. and they also said that they smelled "a foul odor eroding from his apartment." come on! whenever i smell something foul like that, i never put anything past me. plus, i mean, he HAD to have some strange ways....and couldn't people from time to time hear victims crying out for help? do people know and just not care, or are they in denial, or just plain blind? its just like the BTK killer. how was his wife of thirty something years be married to him and not suspect A THING? again, WTF???? I know that some people are really good at masking and hiding themselves, but I think it would be pretty hard to conceal the fact that you're a sick, sadistic, psychopathic serial killer. these people should've seen it.

I was in my den one night and reading a book. I saw something move just out of the corner of my eye. I put my book down and look at the wall acroos the room. At that moment, I felt an intesnse feeling of fear and dread. I couldn't explain it, but I knew something was there. I couldn't see it, but I could feel it's presence. Before I knew what I was doing, my body got out of the chair and walked over to the wall. The feeling of fear intensed greatly. A second later the strange feeling was gone. Now, at random times, i feel the strange feeling. It feels as if someone is staring right at you or the feeling you get when your plunging down on a roller coaster. I afraid to even walk into my house alone now. What causes these feelings and how do i make them go away?

You don't have to be modest or hide anything. It's not like anybody can track you on here. So, what do you truly want more than anything else?
