Even what some family members say isn't legit. I guess it's those who love and truly respect you that you should heed to. But how do you do it? My belief system right now is that "I can't trust myself" so I look to outer sources to define myself and I don't like that. I'd like to make my own decisions and live my own life.

He was diagnozed with OCPD years ago and refused treatment. He had a nervous breakdown when our father was killed in S America when he was 18.We were tricked and treated badly by our fathers relatives. He seems to have adopted many of our late fathers physical characteristics including speech patterns..He suffers insomia ..And he shows other very strange behavior. i have begged him on countless occasions to get treatment in a very diplomatic way but he gets aggressive. He is a funny mixture of docile and super dominent .And he always knows better.
He is partly responsible for my 82 grandmother and 60 yr old Mother being with no home after selling it 5 years ago.. He is not 100% to blame because they too are stubborn and over dominent . Grand only wanted to live in Spain and our Snobbish ensecure Mother only saw luxury properties they could not afford. Grand solidly refused to buy anything. They were waiting for bro to sell building plots. He is now living with a girl who he got preg

We have been friends for a long time and we have so many things in common, sometimes I really think the similarities between us can’t be just coincidence, I really want her to be happy and successful and although because of the distance between us I don’t see her much often but she’s always on my mind. The problem is, maybe it seems cruel and stupid, but she’s not pretty enough to me, and I always dream of a girl more beautiful but with the exact same personality and attitude and everything else, which I haven’t been able to find in the past 3 years, now I don’t really know am I in love with her? And should we put our friendship into next level? Or I’m just desperate ?

the song ' baby what a big surprise' by chicago came on the radio before, and it reminded me of her.

Knowledge is power, but lack of knowledge doesn't mean you have to make stupid decisions.

I can't tell you the number of people I see on Yahoo Answers that have made dumb decisions in their lives and post questions asking for unrealistic solutions.

We have been given the gift of thought. Why are so many people incapable of using their minds and asking "If I do X, what are the benefits and drawbacks in the future?

Your credit sucks? Did you never think you had to pay the money back that you borrowed? Car Dealer ripped you off? Did you not read the terms before signing? Your husband treating you like crap? Well, didn't you take a little time to think about what he was really like and what might likely happen before you got married? The list goes on.

THINK PEOPLE! Use your mind. Spend just a few minutes, just a few, asking yourself what will happen if you do something. If you don't know, find out before doing it!!!!

I understand that Symbolic Interactionism, alongside with Marxism & Class Confict and Funtionalism, are the three main theories in sociology. What I don't understand is how we can use SI to view a situation in describing the big picture (because it can't right?)

Using prostitution as an example: A functionalist may think that prostitution is necessary for society to function, while a conflict theorist figure out what forces drive the women into prosititution - poverty? unemployment? But how can a SI-ist view this situation? I don't quite understand.

Thanks for your response in advance!

Why cant I remember my daily life from birth?
I have had the same brain and body since then. I have learned a lot. But why dont we keep those memories from childhood? I try so hard to remember, I look at old photos, but nothing.
Is this natural?
Is there a name for it?
Is there a way to remember?

Where did it come from?

It can be through an action.
A hurtful word.
A vengeful tactic.
A bullying continued action.

2nd part :
How did it injure you, or hurt you, or anger you, so that you were helpless to know how to handle the hurt?
Did you fall into that immediate desperate wish to retaliate, against your better judgment?
If you did, how did you get over the emotional or physical injury it caused you.
How long did it take you to recover?
How long did it take you to realize, such insults, offenses, injurious actions, are for most projections from the offender's disturbed and hurt angry mind?

And lastly, what did you learn from such a hurtful experience which you did nothing to deserve, except perhaps, awake something negative in the offender's mind . . but NOT deliberately?

Thank you, this may help me understand the reason someone in my present life continues to bait me . . even though I've told him with out a DOUBT . . that if I seemed such a target for his vicious attacks . . to get lost, for good!

I don't really agree. I want to change so bad. I hate the way I am. I CAN'T CHANGE MYSELF!!! Trust me if you could, I wouldn't be the person I am today. I'm too nice. I let ppl walk on me and I CAN'T HELP IT. I don't like the way I feel. I take an anti-depressant but I still feel like I hate the way I act. I mean you gotta understand. I'M WAY TOO NICE! I can't say no when someone asks me to help or something. My husband gets mad at me, but what am I supposed to do----I'm too nice and I can't change. Is there any way to change the way I am? I've heard ppl on hear say that it is possible but I don't know.

For as long as I can remember, there are people who are so obsessed with changing their skin color, they will just about go to any length to do so. It's got to be some sort of competion and most certainly about vanity. What I can't understand is....and I've met many....there are some people who are so prejudiced towards people of color, yet they themselves want to become dark.....odd?
