Was he inherently psychotic and violent? Or did something specific in life happen to him to cause him to commit these crimes? Did it build up over time? Did he snap due to a traumatic incident?

Is it possible that I've been an extrovert my whole life and not realized it because it has been buried under heaps of social anxiety? When I get drunk I am real talkative, I love big parties, and the one time in my life that I was recieving treatment for my anxiety (lexapro), I joined theater class and tried out for a play. Is it possible that I am actually an extrovert incapable of expressing my true self because I am frozen by fear?

That sometimes people will recall "fake" memories...and that these fake memories may be noticed when people don't recall it "in context." So...what does that mean? how do you recall something in context, hence...a real memory..?

I've been dating my best friend for 3 years, and have lived with him for 2. He has not proposed yet, although one minute we're looking for rings and the next minute he's saying he can't afford it. Our sex life is not good (he lasts for 2 minutes), and recently I have been meeting an old friend to fill in the sex department. I clean up after my bf and his dogs like I'm his maid, and his excuse is that he "works". He does not give me $ or pay for my living expenses, so I don't see that as an excuse. Needless to say, he doesn't make me feel "special" anymore either.

What would you do? I love him but I'm contemplating moving out. Is this just a rutt that some couples go through?

Its repeated over & over persons who lose control & kill fall within poor socialization skills. Unable to communicate effectively with either/both genders. What common denominator seems to be shared by these persons?

Need you to do some brainstorming for me here.

I work at a community college and I would like to present to one of the professors ideas of a course or seminar addressing this "slowly boiling pot " of anger that flares up once in a while in educational facilities (and work environments) like what happened at Virginia Tech.

On Wednesday, April 25th an "Emergency Procedures Workshop" is to be held here on campus and I would like to send your & my ideas to one of the instructors so that she can include them in what gets addressed. This may trigger a new seminar or workshop to deeply study into the makings of those individuals who make the decision to step 'over the line' and destroy others.

What do you think? How do you feel? What is your opinion?

Suicide is usually the result of someone cryptically crying out for attention or help. If the secret code goes unbroken for too long then the person can paint themselvs into a corner where they believe they have no choice but to act on their threats and kill themselves.

They often fantasize over the attention they will get at their funerals and burials and even when their bodies are found.

---HOWEVER: We know that life tends to eventually go on and the person will be somewhat forgotten once again, only now, being dead, they can't remind anyone of them so easily.

This is why I think we are seeing a new trend of TAKING PEOPLE WITH THEM AS THEY GO. It is a sort of insurance policy that they will finally be noticed, heard, and remembered! Cho took things to new heights and left video and photos and writings to be seen after his death as though he rose from the grave to have the final word.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, BUT WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW TREND THAT SEEM

In the high school you go or went to, were there a lot of fat, chubby students, or were they mostly skinny?

Where I go, everyone is SKINNY. It's predominantly Asian, and yes, I know many of them are petite, but it drives me crazy how SKINNY they are. They all have this kind of body: http://img.timeinc.net/time/asia/features/ayumi_hamasaki/photoessay/5.jpg

I think the obesity pandemic in children/teens is HIGHLY exaggerated.

So were there many overweight students at your school? Or was being a Size 0 considered normal?

ive been having very strange dreams lately about topics, topics i have never even thought of in real life untill these dreams crept up. i have been going through stressfull times lately, and am well aware that is a contributing factor. i have talked to theripists about it. i tell them what i know they are going to say and they say "youve got it all figured out" then offer me solutions but none of them work. these dreams are creepy. for the first time since i was like, ten, im waking up crying, screaming, and most recently i was actually fighting my fiance in my sleep, hitting him and all. (i wasnt fighting him in my dream, but he had his arm around me so it filterd in). nothing the theripists have given me helps, how can i stop this? i am loosing sooo much sleep over it

I'm working on my science fair project. My purpose is to find out f you will remember more when you list things by saying them out loud or writing them. I'm giving my "test subjects" a picture with a lot of details and letting them study it for about 5 minutes. Then, I want them to list all the details they can remember by either writing it down or saying it out loud. Please help me and give my your opinion on what's better for you, or better yet, try it! :D Pretty, please? =)

These pagans are such delightful people! I wonder why they all got killed at the start of the renaissance? Did people get back at them a lot? Anyway,they obviously enjoy hurting and insulting people who lead fullfilling lives.
