everyday people commit themselves to one person but really have feelings for another but it is taboo to go forth with those feelings but people do it anyway, basically my question is, why don't people follow their true feelings even if it means hurting other people?

When someone is hurting inside why do they feel the need to out on a happy face and pretend they are happy? Is it true that if you look in their eyes you can see the sadness? If so how?

I do. I write when I am in high spirits as a way to try and share it, and also when I'm sad or angry, trying to let off steam.

I am a little racist against black people; I don't like being around them in a Dark City, I feel like they might try to take my money or something.

In what way are you racist?

against what race?

Am I odd to like artsy stuff?
I love going to see live classical music like the symphony or opera, or going to the theater to see a live play. I can never find people who like to do this stuff, so sometimes I just go myself. I actually had a girl laugh at me when I asked her out to the opera! Is it an age thing? (I'm 24) I dated a girl a couple years ago that liked it, but I broke up with her for other reasons...I didn't think she'd be that unique in this regard.

I ask this because I think I have a genuine fear of darkness. When I am in the dark, my heart races, I start sweating and I sometimes go into panic attacks. It feels like I am in a small box or something. Some people say it is claustophobia (sp?), but I believe its something more because it doesn't matter how small of a space I'm in. What is your insight on this?

ok, when i tell you this, dont tell me to see a theripest cause i cant.... but anyway. starting a few months ago i had this though in my head. the though was "what if im really not alive? that my entire life is just like a dream or a figment of someones imagnation?" whenever i dont think about it i feel fine and normal. but when the thought enters my head (which is almost all the time) i feel like my whole life, everything, is just not real. and i feel like im not real. but when i try not to think about it cause when i dont i feel fine. but i always do and when ever that thought is in my head, im sooooo miserable because i feel like me, my friends, the, everything is just not real. i cant talk to any one cause i tried telling some people but they just dont under stand, u guys prolly dont understand fully, but i was wondering if anyone had any advice to make me not think about it, or any other advice?
I asked this question before, and i got some pretty good advice. but nothing seems

I keep having dreams about an ex...?

I never got some real closure from him and it ended badly. This weekend has been bad though and I just had a dream about him and the girl he left me for. I know in reality they are no longer together. To be honest, I know I need to let go and I was doing really well for about a month or so. But I think I still want that full apology and why he did this to me. And also, I am really tired of expecting it. I have gotten to the point where now I just want to be happy and not think about him or the situation anymore. I really want to let this go.. But how? Time has gone by and although its helped, it was so painfulIand I just want to forget all about it. Also, I see friends who have gotten that closure even months later, and I have not and it hurts alot. And I feel if anyone wanted that more it was me. How to cope?

I hate my brother's on again off again girlfriend- I just got back from an Easter get together. See my brother had a baby with this girl, he got divorced a few years ago but has two previous daughters with his ex-wife. Thing is he's using her for attention- he said he doesn't love her and doesn't want to marry her, but his ex-wife got remarried see; I just blattently ignore her and the whole family knows I don't like her. I even at one time asked her to leave my parents house because I felt she was disrespecting my mom- it's one of those indirect disrespects; I just dislike her very much, I've never acted this way to anyone before but even though I don't like her, I respect my brothers choice to marry her or not; I will never be friends with her, I will be polite when it's time to be polite; but I will not make any attemps to talk to her. Is that okay? I treat my nefew normal, and love him, but not the mother. People say you don't have to like everyone, right?

It seems like society tells us that to be single means you are failing in some way. ie: singles are portrayed as workaholics, abusers, social outcasts or misfits, unhappy, etc... In other words, they must have a problem, that is why they are single. Is being single really a sign of dysfunction in some way? If not, then why is being coupled so important in our culture?

then why don't they stop making blanket statements about men (ie that we're ALL chauvanist pigs, dogs, etc.)? If they can't be bothered to show us men respect enough to judge us individually, then what right do they have to expect us to treat them any better than dirt?
