A group of about four people is being mean to me. I took a couple classes with one of them last semester and now he has turned his friends against me. I am shy and somewhat adverse to attention. Their meanness is almost subtle and hard to act apon. They are black so it's hard to stand up to them without looking racist. I have two friends in the class but they have known eachother for a longer time and I think they only pitty me. Nobody will stand up for me and I can't stand up for myself. I think this could be avoided if I never left the side of my friends or made a new friend. I need friends for protection, bad things don't happen to people with friends. What should I do?

Serious answers please.

Whenever I'm on the phone to any of my female friends, they're never at all bothered by the hours they want to spend chatting. This is because they eat, play games and probably read books simultaneously. Or they can watch TV or a movie while they're talking. I cannot. If I'm watching TV, I'll not listen to whoever's on the phone. I can only seem to concentrate on one thing at a time, but females seem to have this inheret ability to multi-task and divide their concentration evenly amongst everything they're doing. How the hell does that work?

Thank you for sharing. I interpret this as life is full of challenges and obstacles, but if you dance around them you will be a better, as well as, a enriched person. Please interpret your own answer.

They have estimated that 1.5% of men are considered love-shy.

I have talk to a person in my building who hangs up the phone when he hears something he does not think is appropriate. I find it very rude. For example , if you say SOMBODY TOLD ME ....HE SAYS "WHO""" YOU ANSWER ...somebody and he hangs up the phone. ANothe example ...you start to say.... I don't wan to be ....and he hangs up the phone in the middle of the conversation.
He walks past you and ignores you and says "hello " to the person stand next to you and does not acknowledge you at all even if you say "hello". All this behaviour has gotten him into trouble and now the Higher Power above is listening and people don't bother with him...but where does a person learn this stupid behaviour and what does it accomplish in the end but making him feel superior.
At first i thought it was my mobile phone peeping out and I had not recharged it , then I realized it was him hanging up all the time when he heard something he did not like. What behaviour??!!!

You know, you can have like a reasonable day that's fairly warm on Tuesday, and then come Wednesday it's sweltering hot.

What exactly causes the difference in temperature from day to day? And how can they be such extreme differences, too?

Today has been a depressed day for me. I have been thinking about a celeb I will obviously never be with. I havn't done anything but watch tv and today has just been so depressing. I have depressing days like this every once in a while. Is it normal to be depressed every once in a while, and how can I stop being so depressed?

I can't dream.
You might think that I'm forgetting my dreams, but I know I'm not. All I see when I go to sleep is black for what seems like five min. and thats it.
I know when I have a dream whether I remember it or not. I used to dream all the time when I was little, and now I don't.
Help me please! :[

What I mean is, why do we continue to do things that are no longer necessary? To honour things that once had symbolism, but now are just tedious? Why do we maintain tradition?
