I’m not a kid, I’m 25 years old for Christ sake. However, what I am and what I feel are totally different. When will my mind catch up with how old I am? I’m sick to death of still acting like a kid, but no matter how much I try, I never seem to grow up.

Can someone relate / explain this to me?
When I was a "kid," I often felt that I was in "love," but in hindsight, I believe they were hormonal crushes. Now, in relationships, I don't feel I'm in "love," but rather I think, "do the qualities of this person satisfy my needs?"

Am I messed up? (rhetorical question). Jaded? Sometimes I feel I say "I can relate to you," just because it's a nice thing to say, not because I truly 100% emphathize with the person.

Right now I'm dating someone because it's... well good for me. I'm not gay, but I'm faking it so I can go out with this popular guy who pretty much gives me social protection and a popular ranking in school. But see... After so much of faking being gay, will it eventually create a psychological change in me and make me gay... or can I keep going straight without being changed by this?

Help?

My grandmom has a dream. She was searching for me around the town. She saw me with a blond boy from the distance. I was small in yellow dress. Then appeared a woman who said to her that we (the boy and I) ran to the church, we would play and I'd return home. My granny started searching for a church with the domes, but there was the only building with flat roof. In reallity during that period I was in Germany and was attending the church and it's building had flat roof. Later on I showed her the picture of the church and she said it was just the same building she had seen in her dream. The same happened with the boy.
How is it possible that she saw the place she's never been to and the guy she's never met before and even hasn't seen a picture of him?
What does this dream mean?

So, I'm fake. Very fake... it's not even funny. But I've come so far that right now I don't even know who I am on the inside. I fake most of my emotions and tend to copy the people I'm around the most. It's horrible. When I hear new music or see new clothing styles my first thought is "how popular will it be." and as soon as I hear criticism of something from one of my friends I completely lose interest in it and hate it with a passion. It also goes the other way around.

I tried getting away from it all... but I can't. I breakdown if I don't have someone telling me what to like, or what to do. I need people in my life to do this.

And now that High School is comming up, I'm gonna be forced to break away from this habbit... but I don't think I can. It's terribly effecting my future because right now I don't know what I want to do with my life because nobody is telling me what... and if they did I know I couldn't listen...

Please help... I really need it.

Rape is obviously an issue we've half-beaten to death on here, but this time around I would like to discuss the huge disparity in the accounts of how the rape victim and the accused rapist are treated by the police and judicial systems.

Some men's rights advocates say that (some?) women are able to press false charges, put on an act, and ruin a man's life for a trivial or petty reason. Some feminists, on the other hand, maintain that (most?) victims are "revictimized" by the police/judicial systems.

There must be some truth to both sides of the story. This question is an honest attempt at finding out how much stock can be placed in each claim.

With that noted, my question is: "How are those who report rape and those who are accused of rape treated by the police and the court system?"

Feel free to note how regional or any other differences play a role (if you find any evidence supporting such a claim). I'm particularly looking for useful sources if you can find any.

I've been called superficial a lot lately. I do shop at expensive stores for everyday items, and I hate having to use or wear generics. Also, I don't follow current events.... or anything that is outside of my social circle. All I honestly care about it what happens to me, and how it effects my future. I don't think I'd care if I hurt someone's feelings as long as I knew I would come out on top... This is bad, I know it is. Is it me being superficial?

How can I change this attitude before it gets me into serious trouble?

Most people I meet like me. But somehow, a group of authority figures I am involved with seems to hate me to the core?
I am tagged by them as having an “antiauthority” or “invulnerability” attitude. I have done things in the past to earn such tags, but have for a long time avoided any behavior that can in any way be interpreted as such.
I feel as though I have changed in a way I never thought possible and am now constantly “sucking it up” to make the best of situations when associated with these figures. Yet somehow something always comes back to me about having “antiauthority” and “invulnerability” attitudes. It seems as though I am at a remarkable disadvantage and have to go through significantly more effort than anyone for the same result because I am tagged with these attitudes.
It seems to me that time will not heal these wounds.
How can I put myself in a position where this group of authority figures does not constantly have an attitude of undue contempt towards me?

as a guy i can say men are for the most part VERY uncomfortable because of the whole size thing and the shallowness of some women.

but women seem to be okay with nudity. why is this? and if they DO feel self concious about that situation then what are they self conscious about?

i mean harmless situations like skinny dipping, strip poker etc. just clean fun between friends

I hate the way I have been living my life. I was never able to deal with my sexual abuse, when I was a kid. I moved out of my house when I was 15. I have moved every single year since then. Every time I had any kind of an emotional attachment to anyone, I would move. I was extremely emotionless (almost robotic like). I was secretive, I drank, I kept my friends, work, and sex life extremely separate from each other.

I recently moved to a big city, and have decided to try to open my life to people. I used to hide, and not mix my worlds together. This year I have been. I am having trouble with it. I feel so exposed. I feel like I am out of control.

The worst part is, is that I don't date. I never have. I usually make up having any type of a relationship to escape questions. I can't do this anymore. I am lonely, and I want to have someone in my life. What can I do to just let me be me, and to have someone in my life. I don't want to end up alone.

plz tell me whether this is a right policy , i mean i have started following it in all relationship, not intentionally, but if some pple are not ready to help me, i just cant help them, i started this to make them realize that u dint help me last time,

but sometimes i feel it has made me rude, i used to follow the policy to give unconditionally, but that hurts me when other pple does not give as much as i do, pple in today's world have become so selfish, they know how to get their work done, i dont harm/hurt anybody, but i dont let other pple take advantage of it....it sometimes make me feel as if i m bad, m i doing right

He's attempted it in the past (b4we even knew each other) and he does have a past of drug and alcohol abuse, I guess thats what you call it. and his childhood wasn't that great. he's currently 16. We're so in love and have our whole future planned out but recently I've noticed he's been really wierd like he won't talk bout our future like he used to even when I bring it up which is uncommon. Aside from that he's just been very not himself which I haven't been the only one to notice our bff who is constantly with us has noticed too. Tonight he told me he didn't wanna live anymore and he didn't plan on having a future thats why he hasn't been talking bout it like usual. I told him everything was gonna be ok even if it wasn't right now and all that stuff. I was so terrified still am actually so I told our bff, Tony. what am I supposed to do?...what am I supposed to say to him?...I've never been in this spot b4 how can I help the guy I love so very much cuz w/out him whats there 4 me?
