i realize that i could be aggressive but i think i shift between being aggressive and assertive depending on the situation. i do not know y ppl are on my case...can't i just be who i am? they want me to soften up...maybe i should, but the problem is that i don't feel soft inside! i'm not some withering flower...plus, i'm a foreigner and if i don't hold my ground i will lose myself here bcoz life is so tough in LA and all ppl care about is money...it is a jungle! i don't personally like passive ppl or ppl who put too much effort trying to make something sound nice. i am also attracted to aggressive ppl...
how can i deal with this whole situation?

I know it's not just women so don't say it's because we're catty. Men too are very judgmental and criticize people.

For example: What does it matter who has a big nose and why does it need to be pointed out? Yeah, you'd notice it but let it go.

I know I criticize when it comes to people acting suggestively in public or on tv because I don't like it but how do you explain some one being made fun of for having a club foot? Having frizzy hair, walking funny? The popular kid being dumped? Etc. Do we take solace in other people's faults and suffering?

I don't understand it.

I am getting married and want to resolve my issues now before I get married because I am tiard of dealing with all my hurting emotions, and expressing them to my fieance. I want to be positive and happy but inside i feel alone and hurt and scared, is there hope for me, or has it been too long for me to fix the damaged person I long to be?

How accurate is this in terms of judging personality?

My entire family took the test on the humanmetrics site, and it seemed like the analysis of all of our personalities was pretty accurate. I guess it is possible that we were expecting it to be accurate, though, and interpreted the results to fit our expectations. I also imagine that could have been just vague enoough to seem prophetic, like fortune cookies and horoscopes try to be.

So what's the verdict? Is it worth taking? Is it worth listening to the analysis? Is it worth taking the suggestions they offer for recommended partner personality types?

I have come to learn that I am a violent person, I think violently, and sometimes act it out. I really just want to repress these thoughts and live a violence free life. How can I get better on my own (without counseling) and stop having these violent thoughts. Its weird sometimes I want to be mean to my wife and animals, later I regret it.

Can anyone in here give me a legitimate reason why men are better than women or vice-versa. "Men are just stupid" "All women lie" "All men cheat" "Women are dramatic and immature" "men don't know what love is" "women, can't live with them, cant live without them" "all men think with their *****" "all women are spoiled rotten". these are the same outrageous remarks of gender-bashing that we have been hearing for far too long. It's time for a real answer. I challenge you to prove that one gender is superior to the other. And I'll bet my life that it will yet again be bloody and inconclusive. Can't anybody form their OWN self-esteem anymore?

I saw the guy that I was once attracted to but he excluded me because of another girl. I think of him often and seeing him in class reminds me of him being with me in the past. Now he's married and I don't want to have anything to do with him. Why am I feeling this way?

I don't understand why my gf can ask me to accompany her to go for a foot reflex when Im not even gonna have one!Like am I suppose to watch her quietly at the corner?!Doesnt she think I have better things to do? Seriously,these are the kinda things one can do by herself! I find it really pathetic when one needs company wherever she goes.Another gf ask me to accompany her to go to a facial, another ask me to go to some immigration plc so she can enquire something, another as me to accompany her do major shopping (right when I was broke as hell) etc. I simply dont understand.Personally, I think Im independent.Things as such, I ll do them myself, it speeds things up and its more efficient.I dont like fuss and I dont like whines.Even if their arm hurts, they ll msg me to tell me so and how. What do u mean HOW?!Am I the freaking doc?! Im going nuts.Im not a pushover and not overly nice to them.So I dont understand y they need me all the time.Is it me or them?Are women supposedly like this?

Because there are some days when I just feel at the lowest of my low....I lost one of my best friends about a year ago (due to a g/f), I go to college and don't know anybody there, and while I have a new g/f and relationship, I feel like it can be hard to maintain and stay focused. Ugh.

not to insult italians, but people use their heritage (upbringing, nationality, situation, social class) as a crutch all the time. is our heritage really a reason for faulty behavior ("i can't help my temper, i'm italian?") or a free pass for it? ("i can get angry because i'm an italian") can we overcome it? how?

I've been in scouting for like 7 or 8 years now. But i'm 17 and i'm in Venturers. Anyway we got a new leader about 6months ago, he's always been really friendly towards the girls in our group. He's about 40 and married.

But we went on a camp in the weekend and he started getting far more dodge. Like he would comment on how nice my breasts look, infront of everyone. Also when me and one of my friends were sunbathing he would stare at us (my other friends saw him). He always tries to sit next to me and says how attractive i am etc.

I find him really creepy and I'm at the point where i'm to scared to go to Venturers.

I talked to my other leaders and they said they'd have a talk to him, but i don't feel that this is enough.

I've got some strong male friends at Venturers who have said they will look out for me (which they already do)

What should I do? I'm really scared of this leader!

Lately, I seem to self sabatoge myself in various aspects of my life. It's like I feel like I don't deserve to be happy. I don't take care of myself like I should anymore, don't eat right or sleep right and just put myself and my happiness last. I take care of my toddler really well but I just let myself go. Have you ever felt like this before? Do you have any advice for me? How can I convince myself that I am worthy of happiness?

serious answers only please
