There are no doubts that life in India is very different from that in some other developed country. It is also without doubt that Indian economy is increasing and doing better than it ever has. Countries, the world over, recognise india as an emerging trend-setter and provider for services, especially human resources. A large percentage of population in its youth talk about vibrance and potential for growth. And yet, we're not there yet.. So what are the things we encounter everyday in our lives that we hope to be better someday? What are some things that he hope wouldnt be there in India someday? And what are some things we hope would be there in India someday? What would add to our pride as an Indian?

Ever since I can remember I always have studdered, but I recentley read "Man's Search For Meaning" by Viktor Frankel and it taught me to look at the bright side of life. There's a passage from the book that talks how he(a psychologist) treated a man w/ studdering problems. The concept he used is to think about a time when you were happy. So I thought and thought, and I came upon a time in my life that makes me happy every time I think about it. It was my 5th, 6th,or 7th birthday and the party was in my backyard. I was blind-folded and when the blindfold was removed I saw my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cake. I don't know why, but every time I think about this it makes me happy, almost to the point of tears. Ever since then I have stopped studdering. I haven't studdered in 3 months. I just had to get this off my chest, it really isn't a question. So I'll add a question. Have you ever experienced anything like I have?

I suffer severe anxiety during presentations and job interviews. I can also get a bit nervous (not really severe anxiety) when I meet some new people who are not like me (especially different age, different social class..). But I do get along with new people who are like me & who would fit into my friendship/social group.
But the main problem is during presentaions and face-to-face interviews, and it is ruining my life. I've been to many interviews, but have never been able to land a job because of my anxiety. The jobs that I have gotten didn't involve any interviews.

Who do I see to fix this.. a general GP? Psychiatrist? Psychologist? Therapist? Hypnotist? (Does hypnosis really work?)
How do you know which one to choose?
And where do you find them? Yellow Pages?
How do you know if they're the right doctor?

Any other advice would be much appreciated!

A guy friend moved to another state a year ago and since then have kept in contact by chat..once a mth or so even though we didn't know each other well before he left. I have to visit his city for work in a few weeks and he said he'd love to meet up. Problem is I'm now thinkning about him a lot..he wrote that he's going to fall in love with me & also said hurry up and come! We admitted we like each other. Thing is I don't know him that well & I'm just worried as we don't chat very often. Now its a few wks since we've chatted..usually he contacts me. It's making me insecure & worried but I do know he's really busy now. So a week ago, I mailed him to tell him the date I'll be there and am waiting a reply. Why hasn't he got back to me? Really, he initiated all the feelings..& I reacted to this as I started having feelings too. Now why the silence when he always sounded so excited about the whole thing?

I do not have low confidence. I can talk to girls easily if the barrier between us has been broken. I am comfortable with myself the majority of the time. I am also happy most of the time and I really dont take things too seriously. However, I am shy (although I have "fooled" one girl, I am in a psychology class), so I plan to ask a girl for her phone number or to talk some girl for the first time and I get all excited, but when the time comes the idea leaves my mind or I just get nervous and later I feel as though I have let myself down. The most dominant reason is that I have a fear of redness (I have rosacea). I guess the rosacea side of me (that has all of the qualities I do not like) is scarred (I have had bad experiences) and it seems not to matter that I try to improve myself confidence and self-esteem all the time (by always visualizing things and being positive with myself). I guess I am afraid of falling into weakness (that is how I perceive it).

I have a good friend I've made this summer. He's a guy, and I'm a girl, but there's nothing romantic going on between the two of us. We genuinely are, just friends. Here's where the problem lies, however. He has a girlfriend, and I have to admit, she does come off as a bit psychotically insecure and posessing extreme trust issues. Whenever I call my friend's phone, she will take his phone and answer it, then cusses me out and calls me every name in the book and that I have no reason to be talking to HER boyfriend. She emphasizes that quite a bit. Now, normally, I'd laugh it off. But it's becoming rather extreme. She's entered my name into his phone as "Don't Answer" and has been known to take his phone for weeks just to monitor who calls him. She's also made him three-way me a lot, pretending to not be there and my friend will say something along the lines of, "You and I aren't friends. I don't know how many times I must tell you this." (We still hang out, behind her back) Any help?

We know the majority of divorces are initiiated by women:

‘Men who display high hostility and strong conformity to masculine gender roles--what the literature calls "gender role conflict" (GRC)--may cause distress to others, particularly their wives, a recent study indicates.
Past research on men suggests such conformity limits their emotional lives and has linked high GRC with lower self-esteem, increased anxiety and depression, hostility toward women, fear of intimacy, homophobia and reluctance to seek help…

…men displaying hostility in the videotaped discussions scored high in GRC in their own and their wives' ratings, and wives with the most marital dissatisfaction and depression rated their husbands highest on GRC measures of restrictive emotionality, power, success, competition and restrictive affectionate behavior between men…

I have always worn pantyhose with my skirt suits for work each day at the office. Needless to say, with me dressing that way, my hubby developed a pretty intense curiousity about it. As I was getting ready for work one day, I asked him what the fascination was and he told me that he found it alluring and sensual when I wear pantyhose and that he was curious to experience that feeling. So I hiked up my skirt, eased out of my sheers, handed them to him, and told him to slip them on. I let him keep them on for a few minutes and he went absolutely crazy over the way they felt, which I thought was kind of neat.

Now hes asked a few more times recently for me to let him wear them again. I don't want to deny it to him because of how fascinated he is and how much he liked it that one time. I'm thinking if I can limit it to a few minutes around the time we go to bed, we could have fun with it. Was I wrong to do this? How should I handle this?

If there is chemistry, shouldn't both people or neither feel it? I'm not talking strictly about physical attraction - that is something that is learned, I'm talking about actually feeling a connection with someone that isn't based on looks.

Some weird things have occured recently, to lead me to believe that i might have physic powers. I was at my brothers baseball game when a boy was batting, and i had a strong feeling deep within me that he was going to get a hit, he did. Today my friend and i decided to go on a run, my friend came over and i was putting on makeup she asked me why becuase were just going on a run. i said i had a feeling that i was going to see Tommy at the park we were running to. My friend and i stop and take a breather on the bench, and before my eyes stood Tommy! I just took a physic test online, and it said that i had the capability to have physic powers....... what do you think ?
