least. The trick is not to treat some people differently just because you are a racist!

Tell me.....

2007-08-20 15:22:30 · 13 answers · asked by smart blonde is not an oxymoron 3 in Psychology

We have been best friends for 8 yrs. Through the years, my friend always like to pick fights with me and I was always the one piecing back together our friendship. And whenever she fights with me.. she ignores me. Our senior year, she decided to ignore me out of the blue. I asked her what was up but she refused to tell me. 2 months went by of ignoring, then one night us and some of our friends went out to a movie. The whole time she was acting like everything was ok between us. I didn't ask what was up with it, I just let it roll. She was paying close attention to me though. The next day at school I wondered if she would talk to me.. she didn't. She went back to ignoring me. I asked what was up and how it made me feel. She said that she was still here for me, misses me and loves me.. but she couldn't explain it to me then. I asked why and she said because there is a time and place for everything. She said to "let me come to you."

You always read about homophobes who kill gay people or attack gay people physically. Is this because a typical homophobe is more prone to criminal behavior? If so, what can be done to protect innocent people from these scumbags?

What do you think of those educational sources stating men are more likely than women to be the victims of dating violence?

Personally, from my own anecdotal evidence, I found it to be true, although my anecdotal evidence was an extremely small sample. (It happened to a friend of mine.)

What do you think about it?

After I go to sleep at night, it is as my spirit leaves my body to the corner of my room and I watch everything that goes on. The last really really scary one was when 3 demons held me down while another raped me. I wasn't able to speak or even move but I wanted to. I will be greatful to anyone who can explain this type of dream.

when you don't like somebody or see them as repulsive or whatever and look at them like you don't like them, they like you more, and kind of "suck up" to you in some instances. but when you actually are nice to a person and treat them like a human being they sometimes feel more powerful than you and start not to like you for liking them.

get it? do you think it's true?

I know this is going to be one of those questions everyone has to report but what ever.

Seriously though. Has anyone ever met a woman that was well grounded? Never cried, never went onto some unnecessary emotional tangent, never thought that everyone was plotting against her? Has anyone ever figured out what is going on there?

And no one dare deny that 99.999% of women do this ****. It may not be a politically correct question but it is true.

I've done it once or twice before, but when usually when I'm falling asleep and I try to remind myself that I want to control my dream, I end up having a dream that I cant fall asleep because I'm concentrating too much and then I wake up.

we can ever have a close relationship. We're just so different, you know. All I know is that we can try to maintain a good relationship, but I dunno if I can trust that she can understand my personality. I mean I'm calm and mellow, and she's wild and excited--she's fire and moves along quickly, and I'm down to earth.

I've had 2 dreams this month where I have been chased by bees.

The first dream was a SWARM of bees. I was sleeping and they came out of my sleeping bag and started chasing me. My family didn't help in this one.

The second was only 2 bees. I had attracted them on a walk. My dad shooed them away when I got back.

I know about the whole 'hard work and diligence' thing that bees are supposed to stand for in some interpretations, but I wanted to see what other people thought.

I was 18 and in a terrible accident where I literally bleed to death. Well, I would have if my parents weren't there to take me to the hospital. I severed the main vein in my leg. I died three times while they filled me with 11 pints of blood and stitched me back together.

Having been practicing a religion that does not believe in doctors, I gave up all religion, especially that one. I had a meeting with God while I was dead. He told me I didn't need any religious interpretations of Him. So, I developed a really close relationship with Him, one on one.

It also strengthened my relationship with a boy who became my husband 32 years later.

I hate to do this, but I can't find on here where to ask this, and I can't find the answer. Again, I apologize, but I need to know. I know this is not G&WS related, but it seems from prior comments that there's some English Majors on here:

Which contraction is appropriate:
1) You're not
2) You aren't... or
3) both 1 and 2 are okay
4) You'ren't

No opinions please. I know what people use, but wondering if proper English has a specific rule? Looking for teachers or English majors.

I mean professionally, how can one get a PhD in anthropology. I would assume (for me) go to a community college, pass general education then on to a University. But I have a learning disability in math and cannot pass general education math class.

I had a dream the other night and I am wondering what it means. I was walking through a house and it was a normal one with living room, dining room and bedrooms-nothing too extreme not immaculately clean or very dirty. Just lived in. In the kitchen there was a door leading into another room. However, when I walked in, it was totally black. I couldn't even see my hand when I waved the hand in front of my face. I found the light swich and turned the light on. I could see a glow from the bulb, but still it was completely black in the room.
