if you think too much whether you did something or not or what happened is it possible to forget the details of that or whether it actually happened?

HERE WAS THE QUESTION:Please help! I just think I'm so misunderstood!?
I want to show that I'm interested in something, for example shadowing someone in my chosen profession. But I feel like I come across as disingenous. I ask questions and smile, sometimes I'm quiet, but.....I just don't know how to else to prove to them that I'm interested in the profession which I REALLY honest-to-goodness really I am!
Its like now I don't know how to be anymore, when I try to show that I'm interested i come across as being disingenous and when I don't try I come across as indifferent. Please help. :)
I think its because I smile in the beginnng and then later on become normal, I don't know how let conversations flow well. I do say Wow, and Great and that's Good! When they are telling me something interersting......i just don't know how to act? I can be myself but........they will think I'm indifferent
HERE WAS A YAHOO! ANSWER: My suggestion to you is that first, don't push. After a while all you think about is making a mistake or being thought of incorrectly, so back off a bit and stop hanging on somebody's words. And also when you use words like Wow, Great, and thats Good people can think that you are patronizing them

Ok, as a country, we spend a bazillion dollars a year on "healthcare". For each dollar we spend, who gets it? I mean EVERYTHING. For example, 7 cents goes to doctor's salaries, 4 cents goes to health insurance companies for overhead and profit, 2 cents goes to office supplies, 12 cents to drug companies, 3 cents to malpractice lawyers, etc, etc, etc.

I need some advice on how to get back on track. I've practiced yoga for 4 years, and meditated more deeply over the last 7-8 months. I had a nice rhythm of meditation every morning (almost) for the past 6 months, and now it appears to be gone. I can't seem to focus at all. I've tried to get back into it with chanting, as that seems to help relax me, but once I'm silent my mind can't focus again.

Any tips from those of you who meditate somewhat regularly? I miss it. :(

Thanks for your help.

Regarding the problem (job related), I can't do ANYTHING about it except just wait.
Regarding the boyfriend, it just pisses me off how obnoxious and inconsiderate he was being about the problem itself (that was the reason for the fight).
How do I deal with the frustration/restlessness of both? I just wanna punch something!

My now ex hurt me very bad, which ended our relationship. It had alot to do with a one night stand he had before we met. He got her pregnant and she had the child. He knew off the bat, he wanted nothing to do with her becuase he didnt want a child with this girl, he didnt respect her, it was a few hours of fun, which I know is true. But b/c of this he suffered a deep depression, he comes from a good family, well educated and was ashamed. He even wanted to commit suicide. He was 26 at the time. I told him he should seek prof. help, but he only wanted me to be there for him, andI was. I helped him come to terms with it, and he decided to meet his child. Well, he decided to end our relationship, becuase he needed space to figure things out, but he said to hold on to us. But I found out he developed feelings for the mother!! When I confronted him he was very cold and hurtful, like I never meant anything to him. Well, as time went on I knew he was getting to know her, but that all fell

Here is the question

$1 in a stock yeilds Rs, $1 in a bond yeilds Rb

Rs is random with a mean .08 and SD of .07

Rb is random with a mean .05 and SD of .04

Correlation of Rs and Rb is .25

If you place a fraction w of your money in the stock fund and the rest, 1-w, in the bond fund, then your return on you investment is

R=wRs+(1-w)Rb

A. Suppose that w=.5 Compute the mean and SD of R.??
B Suppose that w=.75 Compute the mean and SD of R.??
C What value of w makes the mean of R as large as possible? What is the SD of R for this value of w?
D. What us the value of w that minimizes the SD of R??

One day something real strange happened to me that never happened to me before. I had this sudden, unintended urge that I should cheat on my fiance with someone I dont know and this urge happened to pop up while I was in school. I remember I reacted to this thought by rushing out of school and going home. I felt that if I didnt leave school during my break something would have happened. Now I looked back at that situation a week later wondering what happened. I was fully conscious that day but I remember that I kept forgetting little things that week and had difficulty concentrating. I dont remember anything happening--but my mind still has all these questions. Say I did something like kissed someone quick (not thinking) or was about to sleep with someone or etc. is it possible to forget what exactly happened only a week later? I keep thinking but I dont know whether I did something or not. Can someone help me make sense of this situation. Is it because nothing really happened?
