How long does it take you to feel you "know" the person you're talking to, or are with. Is it a matter of hours, or is it a matter of answers and questions to subjects that are close to their heart? For example, can you look at someones Q & A's on here and know who they are and what they're about?

And please, no stalker / gay / desperate responses. Those responses are just not helpful.

He is starting to act strangely.. he used to act agressive, when he would drink alcohol, so he quit drinking about 3 years ago.. now he is starting to get agressive again and I don't know what to do about it.
He is in councelling, and maybe the old wounds being exposed are causing him to act this way but I don't know what is wrong with him, so I'm wondering if maybe you could help me.
Example: yesterday, we were arguing, and he all of a sudden started talking about how he's going to "snap off" and he's had it, and he doesnt know what he wants right now, he sais he can't deal with life right now, he got so angry that he put a hole in the wall with his HEAD!! and then he left, and drove to a friends house, I was soooo worried because I didnt know where he'd gone, and he didnt take his cell, anyway.. that is done now.. but today when he came home from work he said he can't deal with life right now and he just wanted to go to bed. He's been sleeping all afternoon and he will all night.

Or are cultural values a sub-group of social values? Are values social by nature?

Having a good sense of humor is great tool in life. I want to know if "humor" is learnable. If so, how do you become funny? Not just stupid, telling your mama jokes, or a priest walk in a bar. But a real good sense of humor, and real nice joke.
How do you do it? Can you learn it?

A good friend of mine killed himself two weeks ago, he left behind his wife and three kids. The boys are having a rough time dealing, obviously, and so is his wife. She asked me to help her find a good book on dealing with the loss of a parent through suicide to help her boys, and maybe one for her too on what to expect from here on out with her and her childrens emotions.

My friend at work was saying that she didn't understand stay at home moms because she worked yet still did all the work around the house. She said stay at home moms are just people that use kids or the house as a convenient excuse to be basically "bums". I'm not so sure I agree. What do you think? Maybe some working people can comment

When it comes to disagreements which gender do you think is the worst. Men seem to be more physical like solving their problems with their fists and beating the snot out of each other. Women aren't above fist fights but tend to mostly start nasty rumors. Which gender do you think is worst?

I mean some blame the american capitalist system,others see as a lack of work ethic.but me personally though I believe 60% of it is due to things like disabilities,mental illnesses or personalities disorders.I believe it's because more often than not,they're not capable of working.

here is my problems world. I can not take criticism well, i am too damn sensitive, i become depressed easily, i don't know how to express myself. I can not think of words to say when confronted with a problem. I feel so alone and so different yet i feel normal. I feel like i am the only flawed person on this year. I can not speak up and stand up for myself i am too afraid. I really want to talk to people but i don't know how. I know this may all seem easy for you but it is not for me. It is hard for to ignore the people that are picking on me. I hate how the norm is too feel numb or not care. If i feel like crying then let me cry. If i am pissed let me be pissed regardless of how ridiculous it is I am mad about. I hate being for to be emotionless. Any tips, comments, advice, or similiar stories. Thanks.

I am not commenting or blaming or imputing any group of people or any body but asking to know views of people.
IS it true that many times many people just see & ignore violation of laws by others until it affects them directly & personally????
IS it true that even many times many of them also ignore ill behaviour & wrong done with them; they don't take pains & don't go so long to get the justice ; they just try to forget or avoid the wrongs????
IF yes,what are the reasons of such ignorant & wrongful compromising behavior????
What do u all think about it?
Want to know your views ; by the way I live in India.
