I remember feeling very ugly when i was younger.. i was chubby so kids would call me a fatty and i was pressured to exercise by my parents. I still have self-esteem issues and i look a lot differently than I used to. Sooo, does your childhood effect your self-esteem or is it something you are born with?

I'm a musician (piano and guitar) and usually when I'm writing a song I just mess around and play different chords. Once I've got the melody down I just write lyrics that complement the chord progression I've made.

I also like to write short stories when I'm bored.

When you're going through an intensely emotional stage in your life, how do YOU transfer this anger/depression to a creative work? I can't seem to make a song that truly expresses my emotion because I'm too angry or depressed to actually work on a good chord progression.

I'm just asking your personal methods.

I was dreaming, and I was at a school/church type thing. And there was this group of 'slow' kids walking near me, and I started running away from them, but this girl caught up to me and grabbed me and I couldn't get away. Then she kept trying to kiss me and I wasn't trying hard to stop her (she looked really familiar from my life but I have no clue who it was, and I don't think she is 'slow' in real life). Then the teacher came over and was like, "YOU RAPIST" and I said I didn't have sex with the girl, and she kissed me and that was it. Then a sermon or something started and I was trying to run away because they're boring and the teacher and the girl I kissed were holding me there. Then I woke up.

It was messed up, just had to let someone know about it. You can guess at what it means, but I really have thought about it all day and I don't have a clue.

and it is the first dream he can ever remember having. He found it quite disturbing and woke up shouting. He said he was in a cemetary and something was scratching words into his back and making it bleed. When he turned round to see what it said, all he could see was a blue mist that was about to grab him. That was when he woke up shouting for it to stop. In all the years I have known him, I have always found it strange that he can never remember a dream, but this one he said, really upset him. Anyone know what this could have meant?

would we still sleep 8 hrs and eat 3 times a day? Or would we only sleep when tired, staying up for hours and hours at a time? Would it invigorate us or depress us?

Is it an evolutionary thing? Why would Caucasians develop red, blonde, and brown shades when the rest of the world was--for all intensive purposes-- dominated by shades of black?

“For some people, life is like arithmetic where you add one to one and you get two. But for me, the Gestalt theory is a more appropriate theory. Think about this: If one is able to take care of his body by shunning away from bad habits, he doesn’t simply end up being physically sound; it’s not enough for him to say, I have a healthy body parts – healthy legs, healthy brain, healthy heart and do on; his totality may even greater because if he is physically healthy, there’s a lot more he can don in life. He can fulfill his dreams and each accomplishment will add on to his initial deposit of happiness. This is where I’m coming from. Just the same, It doesn’t mean that a person who has lost his legs or arms due to accident or operation has become a lesser human being because it’s not just his physical body that makes him a human being. If he learns to move on despite his physical disabilities, then that means he is psychologically healthy and therefore, he can be happy.” Convinced?

A friend of mine said that I have little social value, that's why ppl don't invite me to partie/pub crawls/social gatherings etc. What does he mean and how can I possibly increase my social value so that ppl will find me interesting and will invite me to social gatherings?

PS: I'm usually very serious, quiet and find it difficult to talk to ppl.

Ok well I've been having these same dreams all the time for the past month or so. I started out having them just once in a while, but lately I've been having them EVERY single night. It goes like this, there are tons of smaller average tornadoes everywhere. Me and family/friends are always running from them trying to get away but more and more keep appearing. Then towards the end there is a GIGANTIC and I mean GIGANTIC tornado. I've never had a real life experience in seeing a tornado nor have I watched any movies with tornadoes that would cause the dreams. Does anyone know what they mean? Please help because I think they are trying to tell me something. Thanxx in advance!!!♥♥♥

get some answers that terrify me. Some of you I am sure are knowledgable, but I am sure that there will be those that will like nothing better than to terrify a stranger, but here goes. I have to have a MRI with out contrast. I do not understand exactly how it is that an MRI works. I imagine it to work on the order of a microwave. Bubbling your brain cells. Disrupting them. Causing things to happen that are irreversable. I know this question sounds childish but I am hoping some knowledgable person can help me out. Thank you
