Why do people always feel the need to throw together some hints to show what they need or want? Why not talk to the person and just say what it is you're seeking?

It is harder to play charades then it is to talk.

Why do people choose charades?

Like the cake being of same size only the slices change in size. Few become richer everyday while others become poorer. The wealth can not be created. Wealth only circulates amoung people. Someones increase in income means some other person's decrease in income or loss. Everyone can not be rich at the same time. Is this view correct in economics?

I've been feeling like this for far too long now and getting tired of pretending/pushing myself to do stuff.I was on flouxetine a few yrs back,a double dose.I stopped taking them abruptly but now I know that I should have decreased the dosage gradually.I find it hard to go sleep,cannot wake up, emotionless and am always thinking negative.I don't feel happy about anything and there are times when I just burst into tears for no aparent reason.This is really affecting my outlook on life,life itself and all my relationships.I will be purchasing over the net.Wise decision or not?Does anyone know of a good site?I'm in China so seeing a therapist will be close to impossible,ie.language difference.How do I work my way through this and overcome(when hubby doesn't think there's a problem?

and one of my friends told us that he fantasized about raping a woman, but he is not the type to harm anyone ( I can vouch for that) but he says he just fantasizes about it all the time. It bugged me for awhile wondering how could he fantasize about something so wrong and dark? Anyone else have the same fantasy? if not, lets hear your input. Thanks!

My girlfriend says that I am extremely paranoid and that it is affecting our relationship. She told me that she is now worried about my enemies coming back to attack her. I told her not to worry about it and that she too is paranoid. She says she doesn’t want that in a relationship. I feel that if I changed from being defensive all the time… that I will let my guard down and I would be taken out. What should I do? Do I need to change? If so I will I love her a lot. It’s not an excuse but here is my diagnosis—paranoia personality disorder.

I'm mostly enthusiastic about any new thing that I learn in life. Everything new makes me excited. I can accomplish anything that I make my mind up for. I can adopt myself to the things that I dont like so I have become so flexible. How ever I cant concentrate on my feelings to figure out what is it that I really like to do in my life? How do I know what is my favorite job to do?

I met this guy on the net. he was having trouble coming to terms with an identity crisis. i wanted to help put things in perspective, make him see that there is nothing wrong with who he is. i thought i had managed to make him see that since no matter what you do you can't make everyone happy, you might as well do what it takes to make you happy. provided, of course, what you do doesn't hurt you or anyone else, endanger any futures and it's not ilegal. i thought i had helped him figure out his problems and move on.
however... i started noticing that he began to ask my advice on everything, and to always follow it. in trying to help him gain control of his life, it seems what i accomplished was to make him hand over control to me. i stayed away for some time, hoping my absence would fix that. however, as soon as i re-appeared, he went back to the same old habits. except he's more aggressive now.

How can this person learn to love his or herself? What if the desire to feel loved it so great that the person has a hard time with this?
