With yourself. Maybe there are some things you don't like about yourself. The kind of things I'm talking about are deeply personal and really, I don't know why. They are the type of personal hurdles that you don't tell people. What did you do to deal with these issues?

Like how can I become more open with new people that I meet or the opposite sex for example I know this girl from school and I talk to her online a lot and she invited me to a party she's having but I know most of the people she invited are people that I don't even know and even with people that I already do know like her I'll get nervous and won't know what to say or do when I'm with them.
Please how can I overcome my shyness because I really don't want it to keep holding me back any advice is greatly appreciated
Thanks!!!!!

I know this is a stupid out of context question. So don't even go there...thank you very much. :-)

But it attracts my attention about the frequency of thumbs down here. So I have several questions:

1- Why or when do you give thumbs down?
2- It is a gender issue, or because you despise a certain contributor?
3- What is the point? Do you think it makes a difference?
4- Do you use it as a way of "harassment"?
5- Should we ask Yahoo to get rid (sp?) of the thumbs down?

Other?

I am a generally nice and easy going person. About 5 months ago I ended a friendship with someone who had been my friend for years because she was the opposite. Just a mean hearted person. Anyway. I always feel like I am wanting to check her myspace and facebook. I don't want to talk to her by any means..just kind of seeing what she has been doing-and hoping not so good. When i hear someone say her name I immediately think bad thoughts about her. I don't like being that kind of person. I am trying to think of ways to release the bad energy, and just be like...whatever when I hear her name.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

You want to be equal right? What says it is the man's duty to do nice things for you like holding the door, pulling out a chair, paying your rent...etc.....

The demand function for x is D(p)=65-2p and the supply function is S(p)= 20+p. The price that should be set to restrict the quantity supplied to 30 units is closest to:
a) $5
b) $10
c) $15
d) $50
e) $55

I'm thought this was a trick, otherwise I would have just plugged in for p in the supply equation. Any ideas?

A guy I dated said he thinks I'm beautiful and sexy but he's not attracted to me. What does he mean by this? Are there different types of attraction? Is he talking about attraction to my personality or romantic attraction? In the past, he also used the terms no romantic spark, no connection and no chemistry. He also said that he is not in love with me. When someone uses the word attraction in this context, are they talking about romantic attraction? We've also had sex on numerous occassions throughout many years. He said guys have sex with girls they are not attracted to all the time. I'm confused by how he uses the word attraction. I've always thought people use the word attraction to mean physical or sexual attraction but he seems to be using the word in a different way. When I asked him what he meant by attraction, he said it means the same thing as interpersonal chemistry. I'm so confused!

I'll eat anything....literally. Pickled okra, frog legs, alligator or whatever. I mean, I wouldn't cockroaches or anything...but as far as normal or semi-normal foods go, I'll eat anything. I was thinking this is sort of odd...usually someone has something they don't like...my uncle, for example, doesn't like Brussels sprouts. Even when I was a kid I liked Brussels sprouts.

I'm thinking that this is because when I was young I went hungry a lot and would have loved anything no matter what it was...I remember once, it had been two days since I got a bite of anything and I walked to the McDonalds just to sort of take in the smell. I watched as one woman picked off most of her bread from her burger...I would have given anything for that bread. Is this the reason I'm not a picky eater?

Please, no rude answers....

Just before I asked this, my mom was complaining about how she doesn't have any water (we're in the library) I said that there's a water foutain downstairs. But she said she wanted bottled water. I watched a sixty minute end cap thing with that old guy who I can never remember the name of. He was talking about bottled water, and the fact that women like it more than men. Why?

Applicable to feminist theory. It is disheartening to me to see women state that they think a woman can be into chasing bad boys and it doesn't impact her feminism. To me, that's like a chem dep counselor saying their current alcoholism doesn't impact their counseling. What's up with this?
