Social Science - 24 May 2007

When I met my best friend (about 5years ago) we were really close. We'd tell each other everything & I could trust him with my life.

I'm 17 now he's 18. When I was 15 he moved away. It was really upsetting & at that time I was raped and sexually abused so it was pretty hard for me.

Although we didn't live close, we still stayed in contact by phone calls, msn, text messages and emails. He helped me through everything.

About a year ago we had a really deep conversation & he told me he loved me & he had always wanted to be more than a friend. I felt the same way but I was to scared to say anything before then.

Next year I'm moving up to where he lives to go to University & hopefully to continue our relationship.

When we were best friends though I could tell him everything that was going on. But now we are more than friends I can't. It's like I don't want to hurt him.

How can I be as open as I use to be without fearing that I will hurt him?

Since the money that men make is by far more likely to be spent on, or by, women than the money that women make is spent on, or by, men shouldn't the whole basis for this so called unequal pay propaganda be seen for what it really is, just the usual feminist entitlement ideology ?

Oh wait I forgot for a second, the vast majority of feminists don't have a man to spend money on them. Well anyway the question still stands.

right, if you are blond just forget about your elementary reading level, and move on to the next question. Don't even bother with this one.

My husband is quite affected by the high dose chemo he just had and will need recovery time. Here's my dilemma. I started a job as a part time bank teller last summer to supplement our finances. The trouble is even part time I'm finding I'm stressed because of my husband's health. I am tempted to quit even though I've worked really hard learning the job - there's lots to it and the staff have been very nice. I think I need to be home for when my husband is home from the hospital maybe.

OK, so a woman goes to her brother's funeral and meets this guy that she REALLY likes.

However, during all the well-wishers and sympathizers, she doesn't get a chance to get his number.

What will she do?

I keep having dreams that I'm driving and the brakes don't work. It's not the same dream, but in many different dreams this happens. What does it mean?

2007-05-24 16:52:05 · 5 answers · asked by Anne 5 in Dream Interpretation

Another dream that has marked me down a lot was one I had when I was pregnant, I dreamed that my daughter (I knew it was going to be a girl due to several dreams) and I with a person (my husband in the dream) were on a mall, and my daughter got lost, we were looking and looking, until we find it near the perfumes area and a woman dressed in black was after her.

We took her and tried to get out of the mall, but every tried we were back in the start place, until I don't know how we got "home" were a crow was trying to break into my daughter's room to kill her, and that crow transformed into the woman in the mall, then dissapeared all sudden.

This is a dream I had for several years (not any longer though) and would like to know what could it mean:

Stage one: being a kid and met another kid introduced by a woman that is supposed to be my grandmother (death on the dream).

Stage two: war against bad witches and demons with weird signals in the sky as the sky turning green and the moon displaying a countdown.

Stage three, the "kid" is my guardian angel (both grown up), takes me flying (after fighting with the demons and bad witches), looks to the sky and tells me: "no, it is not your time" and I wake up.

I am not as bad as some...but I still hate it. It gets really bad when I am stressed out, and I don't know why. I have to count my steps, count stairs, count ceiling tiles. There are alot of other things I need to do too. I just wish I had some help getting over my impulses. I haven't had it all my life though, only since my parents got divored a few years ago. But yes. Does anybody have any advice?

I certainly believe they should be prosecuted. I just wonder if they are this way then aren't they doomed to make terrible choices like he did.

I'm sure I'm not the only guy out there who has ever considered wearing a woman's jacket before. Lots of women can enjoy wearing men's clothing without any social stigma, but if a guy wore a skirt to school he'd end up in the Principal's office.

Some places in the world, like the malls in China, have both "men" and "women" clothing mixed in together. You can see both men and women trying on the same shoes and such. It was quite a liberating experience while I shopped there.

Do you think they'll ever do that here?

I have seen assertions that the feminist movement is responsible for this phenomenon. How so? Connect the dots for me, please.

I see a very different reason for the need to have two incomes. I'll post it before putting this question to a vote.

Some people can have very low amounts of interaction with other people, and still feel comfortable around them. On the other hand, some people need to be in constant/moderate interaction to be comfortable around people.

I want to live and thrive....not just survive. I am sick of making it a victory everytime I get through the day. I want to love life like my friends do. People who are close to me know that I am capable and have potential, yet this condition seems to be supressing any ability. I have to watch while others enjoy the fruits of their work....and I just merely get by. Other than my family...no one knows about my condition. I hate it that people might misinterpret my work and behaviour negatively. It hurts so much. I can't even cry anymore.

Please...if there's someone out there who has fought this condition and is in control enough to be a success. Someone who has thrived despite this obstacle. Please tell me how you've done it. I need hope right now. I feel like I'm sinking deeper and deeper and I just want to dissapear sometimes.

It seems to me that in American society being introverted is looked at as unusual or a big deal which is ridiculous. Is this neccesarily true? If so why?

Tend to state your mind simply and clearly, without diplomacy. Is direct in your opinions.
