I had a bit too much caffine yesterday evening, and had very vivid and terrible dreams. The one that kept coming back was that my molars were exploding into shrapnel when they came into contact with anything, and my mouth was full of white bits I kept spitting out. It hurt so much, and I was horrified because it was night time and I knew I wouldn't be able to find a dentist quickly. What does a dream about teeth breaking mean?

Hello

If I get into a situation in which I have an arguement with someone because they insist that I have had something wrong and that they saw me; even though I know that I did not. Then if I have told them that I never did it and they do not acsept that, I can determin that this is not the way to go about this problem.

I have tried ignoring them, but then they pester me and I cannot think of what to say to get rid of them.

I do not think that it is the correct thing to do to lie and say that I did do it, because then I am allowing them to have thier own way over me.

I have tried seeking a 3rd person so that they can intervien and then this problems can be discussed in a calm manner, but this brakes down in the meantime if that person persists to harras me.

What would be the correct way to respond to that person having know that telling them and being honest doesn't cut it?
I want to aviod losing my temper with them when they will not acsept my denial of what they accuse me of and just agree to disagree.
I want to know how to deal with this in a diplomatic manner.

There is this guy in my H.S. I see him a few times a day. He seems to be really uncomfortable. For example, if he is in the hallway and it's a little crowed, he'll wait untill the people pass untill he walks down that hall. And another, he always keeps his head low and he's shoulders seems to be tense(but maybe just the bookbag). And he draws as little attention to himself as possible.

What are some reasons why he acts that way?
What are some good things to say to a person like that?

What is the psycho-social relevance of dreams (and dream theories)? I don't know how to answer this question because dreams are a personal, private matter!

I am open minded to all opinions and answers :)

My dad passed away at the end of May and I have dreams about him at least once a week. Usually he is fine and normal in the dreams but he still had a stroke and survived. (He had a stroke and didn't make it). Sometimes in the dreams he will have a cane but none the less be okay. What does this mean?

I just want to gain peoples' opinion because i feel so down right now
Like many others, I am petrified of doing presentations and I feel as if i'm stuck in a vicious circle of trying to avoid anything to do with them.
I have just started university and the course that i'm doing requires doing a few presentations during the year. I had already known this but I thought that by the time i'd start university i'd 'get over' my fear.
I was in one of my classes, reading through the subject information for this coming year. On the information there was a mention that we had to do a presentation which was where I started to fall apart inside.
So at the end of the lesson, feeling petrified at the prospect of having to do a presentation, I stayed behind to have a word with one of the teachers. As she came over and asked me what the matter was I couldn't get out the words and just broke down because of my intense fear of presentations.

Can anyone give me advice on how to get over this?

I'm pro-choice. However, I'm often disturbed about men not having any say in whether to keep a child or not. Sometimes the woman decides to keep the child when the man is not ready to be a father hence the child suffers. I know it takes two to get pregnant and yes I know it's a woman's body and nobody should control her body. But I also think the man is completely cut off from the decision making process, although the responsibilities will have to be equally shared-- which is not fair.

What are some of the ways we can make this process more equal? I'm taking about ONCE THE WOMAN IS PREGNANT. Don't give me the "they should have protected sex" etc.

And please eliminate the women vs male bashing and try to concentrate on solutions.

I keep hearing "If you're over thirty, and you want to get married, you have to marry somebody with children !" . Is this true ? Aren't there people who wouldn't make a good stepparent ? Aren't some people much better off marrying a childless woman ? Can ANYBODY inspire children to be respectful and obedient ? Children won't obey somebody's rules if they don't want to, and they don't want to . Whenever I've been in charge of children, they've usually decided I'm somebody they don't have to obey, and I can't have that in my home . I'd have to have my rules obeyed and respected, and children aren't obedient and respectful . If Mom has a second husband, Dad has a second wife, and everybody's making rules for the kids, isn't that "too many cooks in the kitchen" ?

last night my husband and I talked about his affair he had seven year ago, I ask him if at the time did he not think that he was being deceitful and did his own conscience not bother him? His answer to me was, "No, I didn't think I was being deceitful and I really didn't think about it." I didn' t continue the conversation, I just shook my head and walked away.
Question: Men who cheat once, will they cheat again?

I am 26 years old and I am very unhappy. I feel like I don’t know up from down. I don’t have the life that I want and all I really want is to be more confident and live without pain.

My body aches and I am forever tired. I am moody and impatient. My sinuses make my head and face feel like painful lead weights that are about to explode and that’s every single day of my life. My back aches from god knows what because I never lift a thing and when I did work with my back it was the same. I am hard of hearing. I have almost no confidence in social settings and I am lonely. When I go out, I am speechless. Those that try to engage me are met with a smile and blank eyes for I have no idea what they are talking about even when my deaf ears manage to hear them, but I try to convey that I have no malice against them with a smile. As one can guess it doesn’t make for an enlightening conversation.

The only time when I am not awkward and anxious is when I’m so high on pills and alcohol that I can’t even remember what happened. I know that there is a great person within. I know it intuitively, but there is evidence as well. When I wake from the nights of partying that I can’t remember I have knew friends. Mostly women who want to go out with me but it’s always the same result. They think that I’m not having a good time if we go out or they think I’m immature along with what ever else I don’t know because I’m not a mind reader. I can only guess that the key to my social success lies buried beneath immense layers of inhibition.

Why am I this way? I could blame it on my parents but all that’s in the past. The present is in my hands and I have to deal with the scars alone.

I carry a lot of guilt. I have unwillingly committed many offenses to my friends, family and most painfully against my first love. I hardly remember what I’ve done or why because of my poor memory and a scattered brain, but I do remember what I did to my first love. I was cold to her. I never talked to her about us without anger. When she was upset and needed me the most I would abandon her to herself. One time in particular plays over and over in my head every day. She was emotional again and I was leaving again. We lived together. This time she begged me not to go. She really, really needed me and I left anyway. The vision of her tear-filled face is burned in my memory as I closed the door on her and in the end, us. I pushed her away and when she left I just wanted to die.

Just so the reader doesn’t think that I only want a pity party, I’ll balance it out with some positive things. Since I’ve had my heart broken I’ve been forced to get to know myself. Were I previously had almost no contact with self, I now am set on the daily growth of mind and body and getting to know who I am. I have taken great leaps in career, self-esteem and relationships. Even though I am not yet happy I feel that my dedication and tenacity will pay off in the future.

I frequently offend people. I hurt my girlfriends. My father is ashamed of me. I am lazy, drink too much, have no self-esteem and I can’t dance. Should I do society a favor and go live alone in the mountains?
