what buttons to press and they press them all. you feel people use key words and insinuate at you, just certain people though.
what is this? is it me being over sensitive? or is it them being nasty playing stupid mind games?

and if it is them, how can i deal with it when it happens?

in the past ive experienced this in super markets, people chatting near me, behind me, or in other checkouts.
by a gp/ doctor when theyve spoke to me...detecting an air of indirect condesention and patronism..
different people basically i feel using key words to upset or confuse me.
i never no how to deal with it without anger building up. and its like i become stunned into muteness.
im a 30 year old bpd sufferer whos endured a very traumatic life and abuse...i wait for therapy.
but as regards this problem, can somebody tell me how to deal with that?

OK so you have the stereotypical nerd guy who is all star trek and lives in his parents basement. Is there an equivalent in the female crowd (but not necessarily the same sci-fi interests?). Is the "nerd spectrum" for women much less defined? I'm doing some research on female nerds and need some examples or a web site or something.....

Sorry for anyone whos read my same question-. I just need more advice.

I dated a kid years ago.. hes alway been the "one that got away" and that i never quite got over. Im to the point now where I still think about him (more then i should) but i know that we dont belong together.

I currently am head over heels in love with my boyfriend. I hope to get engaged soon.. and i love him to death and would leave him for no one.

But why do i still think of my ex? Does it ever really truly go away? The simple answer would be people saying "you dont really love your current if you still have feellings for your ex"- but i dont think thats true. I am deeply in love with my current.. but i would still get upset if i found out my ex had a girlfriend.

I think i should cut off contact with my ex completely (we talk online sometimes) since i do feel this way. I obviously cant handle being "friends" right? Do you agree? Should i tell him why? Has anyone experienced this?

People always talk about how important integrity is, but don't you think that they have overrated it?

Studies show that tall men (6'0"+) and short women (5'0"-5'3") have the most "reproductive success" (i.e. they are more sexually attractive). Just curious as to why this is and if its more cultural or biological?
