how sometimes is right about things with me (even though i don,t ask her) but other times she gets on my nerves, she will say the reason you acted like this is because you had a bad childhood, not everything can be due to my childhood. she thinks she knows everything and gets on my nerves, why do some people do this

I feel like I'm always thinking that life sucks and nothing is going right and the littlest things make me upset. How can I be a more positive person?

And are they using research in other fields that affect it like neuro-biology, neuro-linguistics. It seems like the field has to keep up on nearly every other discipline to be viable. That seems to be true of every discipline now with all the discoveries.

Would you try and change the future or quietly slink back and watch history as if it were a movie?

What is the average? How about different counties. Anything being done being done about it? Or how important is it? Any of these.

So many people on here believe so strongly in anecdotal "evidence" and in the validity of their own opinions, that they carry it off as fact. Why is this so prevalent in this forum?

I heard that you cannot stop a habit but must replace it with another one. I have found this to be very true. Starting when I was about 8 years old, I went to the gas station EVERY DAY and got a soda at least once. When I was 14, I replaced sipping soda with smoking. I smoked throughout the day and went to the store every day for a pack of cigarettes. Now that I (finally) quit smoking, I find that I go to get a Starbuck's coffee every day, even though I can't comfortably afford it. Anyone know what my strange series of addictions stems from or how I can overcome it? I'm tired of depending on outside things!

I find if I have nothing to worry about I think of useless things that depress me and they have no logical reasoning or foundation. Time passes slowly when you're procrastinating about something. As they say time goes so fast when you're busy but you get so tired.

I try my best to be in a good mood everyday and I have a lot of friends (or so it seems), but I want to find out if people truly like me for who I am.

Besides a few cases. Would you agree that humans are not animals that mate for life? Look at the odds of keeping a marriage together, what like 51% failure rate in America? If you plan on giving me some religious smatter, save your fingers, this is not about religion.

My friend hates Walmart, it really doesnt bother me. I go there when I must. He argues that walmart imports more stuff from china than anywhere else, thus our U.S. dollars are losing its value. I guess more abundant cash flow decreases montenary value. He gave me statistics (that i cant remember) of how much more wal mart makes as opposed to the U.S retailers all together. And how much unemployment there is because of it..we all know Walmart is the biggest retailer in the world and I really want to know if this is all true.

great answers with support will be greatly appreciated.

I live in a very conservative (politically and socially) area. I am rather laid-back and liberal. I am finding it difficult to find a job, make friends and feel comfortable with service professionals (doctors, dentists, etc.) because the business climate is very cut-throat resulting (in my opinion) a living environment that is paranoid and non-trusting. Is there any hope? How does a mild mannered person like myself get along in this type of environment? I keep wanting to be friendly and trust people,, but this seems to be the opposite of how people behave here and how they expect you to behave.
Any suggestions?

There is no specific reason. Just a bad mood? I am happy 99% of the time so I am not good at dealing with bad moods.
