I dont know if something is wrong or not.

my sister is a fairly happy person. but when someone says something to her that she thinks is directed to her she automatically takes it as they are putting her down and gets upset *crying etc..* she doesnt like to be around people and was put on depression meds 2 yrs ago for certain things and stopped them a month later...

she also has a bunch of reponsibilitys a job, school, family problems, and much more..and she gets these pains in her left chest area about where the lungs are and people have said it was stress...i am wondering if something is wrong or not and if there is can it be serious?

Hello

I am usually a very sensitive person, so much so that I would not leave a baby crying or allow someone to do anything that could be even slightly harmful, automatically.

But I have a problem with my heart, and I will be dead soon.
I know that all my family and friends will be gone and yet for some reason I feel no emotion and have not cried once, not even in the 5 years I know this illness is killing me. It is uncurable.
I do however feel guilt if I think about it.

I do not want to react in horror and sadness, but I do not want the guilt of knowing I am not either?

Why am I reacting like this?

Don't have any friends and never had a girlfriend. Even when I meet people, all I can ever make of them is an acquaintence. No one invites me out.

Am a short guy 5'4 in my late twenties. Girls have liked me, but haven't gone out with me since I'm too short and skinny.

My life is pretty pointless. I have lost all motivation.

If I being punished for something I can't help, what's the point of this life?

Think about biological factors that might be associated
with criminal behavior. Do you agree that criminal behavior can be biological, or
even genetic?

Okay so we know men & women will always disagree about reproductive rights.

During arguments, most often women will say stuff like ''try to see it from a woman's perspective'', and I have. I've actually changed my views a bit regarding reproductive rights. I still believe we need to give men a few more options regarding reproduction, but anyway, this isn't what the question is about.

So, I've tried seeing it from a woman's perspective, and it has changed my views a bit. So I ask you, can you try seeing it from a man's perspective? What do you see?

I have to write a four chapter short story type thing, 'childhood, pre-teens, mid-teens, now' kind of thing. There are lots of things I am just too afraid to talk about YET. I know I will eventually have to, but this will only be my second session! I'm just not ready to reveal EVERYTHING. This 'thing' in my past I don't want to bring up, is basically what has defined me completely. It's what's causing ALL of the crap in my life.

I want to know, should I mention in my story that there are things I am not yet comfortable discussing, or should I just omit it? I'm worried he's going to be very curious to know what I'm hiding. I'm afraid he's going to push me to tell him and open up. Use psychologist mind games! lol What do I do?

Like when you die does it hurt to be a spirit, or to not be breathing anymore just lying in a coffin 6 ft under ? Can you feel pain or is it like nothing? What do you see when you are dead and how does it feel to be invisible? My little boy asked me that question and I didn't know what to say to him, so what do you think the answer is so I dont say the wrong thing to him?

Whenever I read a book or watch a show with my favorite characters if something bad happens; I can't just shrug it off. I feel really bad afterwards. In Return of the Joker, when Robin was tortured by the Joker; I cried. In the middle of a good book I become really angry at the characters when they make a stupid decison, and or I can't fell really happy when they've accomplished something. What is it about characters and authors, that can touch human emotionals and the soul so deep? Why do we all fell, sometimes, like these fictional characters are part of us?

If "free market" capitalism works best and America is its lead exponent, why then:

-- is poverty high and rising in the world's richest country;

-- incomes stagnating;

-- higher education becoming unaffordable for the majority;

-- public education crumbling;

-- jobs at all levels disappearing to low-wage countries;

-- the nation's vital infrastructure in a deplorable state;

-- 3.5 million or more homeless and heading higher in the wake of subprime defaults;

-- the standard of living of most in the country declining; and,

-- the nation, in fact, bankrupt according to a 2006 study for the St. Louis Fed.

In America, according to census figures, the share of national income going to the top 20 percent wage-earners rose from 44 percent to 50 percent from 1973 until present.

In wealth, disparity in America is even greater, with the richest 1 percent controlling 38 percent of national wealth.
The richest 20 percent of Americans own 85 percent of stock wealth. (2003)

Ive been called a troll for asking a stupid question. What is a troll? I did not intend to harm anyones eyes with my light hearted jokes. A lot of times I get on this site because of questions I'd rather ask confidentially that are legitimate, and those of you who do not like my questions, please, please do spend your own time responding to them so that I may know how you feel.

The person in question, only 30-years-old, considers himself vastly inferior to younger generations. I don't see any truth to his claims but he's getting insecure everyday.
