Sociologically speaking, but your own opinion. Do you think it's merely Nature vs. Nuture? Question the question- for example, do you think men NEED violence?

and to be honest, I really don't want to be. I'm happy with myself, even though the way of life I choose may be considered dowdy or plain. But I'm happy.
Sometimes though, I wish I was more mainstream, even though I know it will never happen. I see family members that push me to cut my hair this way, buy these jeans, and so on. I never do, but I always wind up feeling like I am really ugly or something is wrong with me. My husband assures me I am not, but those feelings linger in the back of my mind...
I don't know what to do about this.

I noticed that many people don't have a kind and fair attitude towards fat people, and sometimes they even speak with arrogance ...It's a lack of respect...And sometimes they don't even pay attention , which is also a lack of respect.

For exemple when I say "Have a good day " to an employee in a store, he doesn't even answer...Etc,etc..

What can we do to educate people ?

everytime something bad happens i dont deal with it i just fall into myself and shut down my perception even more. the pain is too deep for me to accept whats happened. i been carrying around lots of stuff for years and its made me emotionless. how do i recconect with my feelings i dont feel alive anymore.

why am i so good at hiding myself and how i feel? why dont i let myself feel and react normaly to when stuff happens? whenever i feel like crying now i hold it in. its like if i cry ive committed a serious crime and im not allowed to . i also think when i do people view me as weak and im exposed and i dont like that feeling either.

god damnit

Real Life: Before I graduated High School last year, I had become friends with this teacher. We always talked and said "Hi" to each other everytime we saw each other. He was also a big teaser. One day, I guess something had changed, because I suddenly started feeling smothered by him. That's when I had this one dream. I had been sitting on this table and he was sitting on the one beside me. For some unknown reason, I pushed my table away from his, but it made me go further away than intended. I suddenly realized that this dream meant that I had pushed him away further than ever and that I might not get that friendship back.

Well, now that I've graduated and I don't go to that school anymore, I haven't spoken to him at ALL. But, last Friday, I had gone to this event at that school where he was. I didn't think anything of it at the time, then I realized everything was the same from the days before I graduated to now. He didn't even acknowledge me or say anything to me. But, I left early for dinner anyway, so I didn't care about talking to him anyway. That's when last night occured. I hadn't been thinking of his friendship or anything, and that's when I had this one dream.

Dream: I had visited my old high school to talk to the teacher. But, we suddenly became friends again and we were better friends than we were before we stopped talking to each other. I sat in the mornings with him and talked as he e-mailed and looked things up on the borrowed school computer that sat on his desk.

What does this mean? Does it mean that I'll get his friendship back sometime, or that I really want his friendship back?

I used to be in competitive figure skating and I've been teaching the last few years. This year I may stop teaching but it feels sad thinking that won't be a part of my life anymore. Maybe I am just making it a bigger deal than it is. I'm wondering how other people have moved through similar changes in their lives.

If so...depending on if you develope feelings of love, would you try to lead a secret life with them. Could your feelings overcome your morality?

going down the path of evolution, it stops at species right? so what is race?
reason i ask is because i believe that everyone is trully the same, we are all one species, human. the only reason some poeple hate is out of bordem, small deferences, or because your better or they have it better.
i understand race, but what is it?

I don't like to talk about myself to my family members or friends. I feel that others will judge me negatively or think ill of me.

What is the best way to overcome this feeling? It probably stems from the fact that my own immediate family judges me and I feel that the rest of the world will also.

There is really no one that I talk to regarding my daily activities and feelings.
