Does anyone suffer from clown phobia, or know anyone who does so? I have a friend who believes clowns are evil, and she won't even discuss it. Any advice? This is serious...

SUBJECT: ...........Spousal Abuse....................

I've come to see this in the life of one of my close Friends.
And I'm confused at how to handle it.

Taking the High Ground. Means she will be beatin' some more.

Taking the Low Ground will probably find me in Jail.

I know it happens? And I know there's simple forms of advice.
I would like to know, from both Men & Women?
Where is the fine line between caring?
And stepping over into someone's Personal Life?

Both choices, does not have a firm solution. Where should I go on this?
How difficult is it to convince someone that it's not her fault?
"Just Deal with it". Isn't the answer.When it deals with a close Friend.

Can I have some respectful, and intelligent answers?
To this very real and very serious problem.

Okay. I need help. My brain does not like to stop ever. It is in constant thinking and I don't like it. Does everyone have this problem? (with some blondes in know i'd think otherwise)

There are times where I am doing something totally different (ala typing on yahoo answers) and my mind is not even focused on what i'm soing, but on other situtaitons -- i.e. what I have to do tonight, girls, etc. I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to have my mind go off and think of crap it shouldn't. I feel like I'd be so much better in life if i could just shut it off. It gets me in trouble with people (particaulrly the girls) when I start thinking about a situation and my imagination gets out of control and I start reading into things that aught not to be read into.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get my brain to stop (outside of a drill of course)? Should I see a doctor about this? I have been blessed with this brain long enough. I want to let it go now ; ;.

I was kind of wondering, could I be gifted and or are most people the same? Here is my life in a nutshell(I am 16 by the way...):
Ok, when I was in year 2, about 8 years old, I read a book about electricity and just lit a light bulb (yeah lame, but that's how it starts). This got me interested in science and "making things". I made door alarms (about 10 years old) and I was quite advanced in science for my age(note:english was my second language so I only learned it in kindergarton).

Not much happened after that, I was even a little below average in my classes until year six(12 yrs old) when I literally went from average to smartest in the year, in maths. At the end of year six I pretty much knew year 7(high school) maths and topped that too...However, my scientific knowledge was that of almost year 9 and I was reading countless books on physics.

If I kept going I don't know what would have happened, but now I am into computer programming and electronics.

Just curious...

When I get overwhelmed with work, I tend to find ways to avoid it. I am actually a very productive person, except when I get bombarded.

I know I'm not gay, but I do think about it every once in a while. Be honest, please, have any straight guys ever thought about fooling around with a guy..like seriously you would go through with it if you had the chance and wouldn't get caught? I'm just wondering if I'm the only guy who ever thinks about it.

and it goes beyond normal anxiety and they regress and turn into a little kid and are always immature and don't act their age at all? i have a friend who does this she thinks boys are "gross",watches cartoons all the time, she eats icecream for dinner, doesnt know how to have normal grown up conversations, doesnt understand how to be responsible, calls her mom "mommy", cries a lot and throws tantrums when she doesnt get her way..like she'll actually stomp and scream to get what she wants..i mean we all do these things occasionally but its the way she does it, its a bit scary she doesnt act like a 5 yr old..its like she is one..if you look at how she behaves, its not just immature but its like she doesnt have the emotional maturity for her age??why would someone act like this?
