to bite your spouse and rip a chunk of flesh of their body. My wife and I like to bite each other, no....it's not som BDSM thing, we just like to bite....sometimes though, and she agrees....it's not uncommon for both of us to have to fight an urge to bite through the skin.....anyone else do this and if you do, what's the reasoning for it?

I'm not going to lie, I like to be whipped and spanked for sexual pleasure. Is this "normal" in the sense that it is quite normal that different things turn people on or is it a sign of "something being wrong with me"?

Being optimistic always means you can't accept reality and always look for something better. If you're pessimistic, you just don't believe in yourself.
Why can't a person just be realistic and accept and analyse whatever happens. They know whether its going to be good or bad. So why call someone as being positive or negative? Theyre atleast brave enought to accept whats really happening.

Quiet girl usually keeps to herself but has gradually been talking a little more lately. Very soft-spoken though. Tends to look downwards more than she makes eye contact but if she catches your eye, she will give a warm, genuine smile. Appears to show concern for others and is very empathetic. Always greets you with a smile.

But while answering a question today, she appeared to fumble over an answer and paused as if she was searching for the right words and still seemed to struggle with verbalizing her thoughts. Seemed like she blanked out and stumbled over her response. She then pulled back and didn't offer any additional ideas. Pretty much remained quiet after that.

What would you think of her? Does she give off a good/bad impression? Would you gravitate towards her or distance yourself?

What are some of the beneifits and not so benefits, of being a quit person or an non-social person? Introvert if you want. I am one of those kinds of people. I feel for the pro's: Reflection! thinking, processing. The mind is just always going. Since I'm always by myself, my thought are all I really have. So I'm always processing the thing around me. Society and life. What I see and hear.

Now for the con's: Over thinking. I do that a lot. Which then leads to being cynical. Even though I kind of ok with that. Also if I do meet people, I'm no good at all.

But all in all, I'm glad I'm keep to myself person.

What are you thoughts on the topic?

Sometimes people do things and I become very upset about that.

Some things make my blood boil and I find it hard not to lash out and make things much worse.

How can I make people understand that what they do makes me angry or hurts me without being brutal?

I find that being too tactful doesn't get the point as well as saying: ''You are really starting to piss me off.''

I have a problem with stammer and it’s really embarrassing and stressful for me. I only seem to have that problem with certain words or when I am talking in public, or when I talk to an stranger for the first time. The thing is that I just got a promotion to a management position, and I will be forced to speak in public a lot and also to perform job interviews. I think that people wont take me seriously if they hear me stammer and I am getting very self conscious and nervous about this. I was told to go to speech therapy, but I was wonder if any one out there has an advice or had the same problem that can give me some tips on what to do on my own. Thank you so much!

How do you control the urge to do something that you know is bad for either you, your health, your soul, society, or people around you...anything that is just considered "bad?"

I just realized that I could be Bipolar, but my mood swings are really fast and I heard that the period between mood swings is generally longer. I also freak out at people a lot and every little thing gets me annoyed. Sometimes I get so out of control that I scratch myself until I bleed. I think I need a therapist, but it's kind of embarassing. I really don't want to be this way anymore and I know its mental but I can't stop. What should I do?
