Can someone direct me to a website (or several) that speculate on which personality/behavior traits are primarily nature or primarily nurture (and which are a mix)?

Its pretty consistent and I've had this dream around 5 - 6 times. The scenarios/settings are always different but the theme is the same:
I am taking off in a commercial jet, just as I've done the 6 times I crossed the ocean. The plane doesn't seem to be able to achieve altitude and then it starts to fall from the sky. Usually it will turn on it's side. I most often wake up from fright before anything major happens, but one time I stayed asleep and the plane crashed landed on the highway. I made it out without a scratch.
I love travel, but every time I think about getting back on a plane my pulse begins to race. This fear came about when I was 15. I crossed the pond for the fifth time heading to Italy. I stayed awake for the 24hr trip because I was scared. It was the same when I returned at the age of 18. When I was a kid, I loved to fly. I loved it with a passion. In fact, I thought I would become a pilot. I'm about to take a trip to Colorado and I would like some reassurance. TY!!

I am trying to be a better person. I find that I complain a lot, often to myself about other people, other times to people about others, which is gossip. How do I stop this?

I personally love "Seniors" or "Elderly" instead of "Old Fart" or "Near Dead."

I’m not rude to them. I’m sweet, but not so sweet that people want to walk all over me. A act just like they do. These people aren’t rude people either. They aren’t rude to each other, just to me. Is there a conspiracy or something?

I WAS IN MY GIRLFRIEND’S CAR ALONG WITH TWO OF MY FRIENDS, WE WENT TO SOME PARK OR SOMETHING LIKE A PARK AND IT WAS A GLOOMY NIGHT, IT WAS DARK.
WE WERE ALL INSIDE THE CAR JUST LOOKING OUT AT THE PARK TOWARDS TREES SURROUNDING A DARK PATH. WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND WITHOUT MUCH THOUGHT, WALKED TO IT. AS WE APPROACHED THE PATH, WE WERE ABLE TO SEE LESS OF THE CAR AND MORE BUSHES, TREES AND THE BEAT UP GROUD BENEATH.
SUDDENLY WE SAW A COUPLE HOLDING HANDS SPEEDWALKING THE OPPOSSITE DIRECTION. THE MAN WAS WEARING WHAT LOOKED LIKE A TUX OR SUIT AND THE GIRL HAD ON A WHITE DRESS. BEHIND THEM WALKED A PRIEST WITH THE SAME URGENCY. AND YET BEHIND HIM WE SAW A MAN SKIPPING INSANELY AND THROWING HIS HANDS WILDLY IN THE AIR TO THROW FLOWERS … WITH A MASK .. SEEING THE MAN RUNNING AT OUR DIRECTION WE ALL GOT SCARED, IN A PANIC I THOUGH ‘O CRAP WHAT TO DO?, WHAT TO DO?, AND SUGGESTED HIDING BEHIND A BUSH THAT WOULDN’T HIDE A SQUIRL THINKING ‘WELL WHATS HE REALLY GOING TO DO?’ . YOU GUYS SAID ‘NO THAT WON’T WORK’, SO WE RAN AS QUICKLY AS WE COULD. AS I WAS RUNNING, I HEARD THE MAN WITHOUT HIM SAYING A WORD, HE WAS IN MY HEAD, ‘IM GOING TO KILL YOU THAT’S WHAT IM GOING TO DO’ IN A CALM VOICE, AND SAW A BASEBALL SPINNING IN A CIRCLE TOWARDS ME WITH A HAPPY FACE ON IT, (ALL IN MY HEAD).
WE REACHED THE CAR CLOSED ALL THE DOORS AND WINDOWS FAST …. AAAANNNNNDDDDD MY ALARM RUNG

I was taught not to cuss, spit, be loud, or make bodily noises around women. Always be cheerful and confident so they feel safe and protected. I was taught to avoid any emotional, provocative, or controversial topics no to hurt their feelings. Let them talk and never to contradict them because they like talking and feeling important. With gender boudaries so blurry these days, do you think these rules are outdated?

Yes, I've dreamt about dying in my dreams a few times as I asked about in my last question. But mostly (almost every night) I dream about:
- running away from or
- falling off of
something. When I run away from something, it's always something that's not exactly terrifiying (like a monster or anything) just something that I know I don't want to be around.
But it's the falling dreams that are the worst. I always get to the very edge of a high cliff or building or rail, almost pull myself over, but then slip and fall.
In all my 23 years I've never actually pulled myself up over that railing or building ledge or cliff. Ever.
So what do you think?

So long the functions of organs are preserved only for Fertility,and done in a city hospital. is ?
By the way,how comes medical doctors are able to perform such "hygienic demands" in collision with well intended parents.

To me,children without body parts,arms,ears,fingers,etc done by no accident,are not to keep indifferent or take understanding of their ...Farinnelli parents.

I have noticed that most females I know are really closer to their mothers than their fathers. Actually, I've noticed that males are usually closer to their mothers also. Could this have something to do with the fact that women find it easier to bond with their children than men? I'm interested in opinions on this please.

with the way the world is now is it naive to think that a guy who is 21 and has been with his girlfriend for 5 years (since he was 16) was only with that girl and no one else. after all the tiffs and quarrels? He says he's only been with me and thats it. we were each others firsts and he claims i was his only. he was my only???

Seriously honesty is a thing of the past, the new thing is positive reinforcement.

Does it really help people living in a society, where people won't tell you, you're fat because its not "sensitive"?

Well, here I am again, trying to put in words all that invades my mind and heart at the speed of light. You know life throws up all kinds of stuff that one can never imagine. The other day, I donno, just out of the blue, my mind started throwing up these conjunction of situations where I was forced to bite my tongue and throw my hands up in surrender. (my mind is crazy like that, one thought leads to another and before u know, u have an entire movie script ready !!)

It got me thinking...all through life, whenever I have been faced with a situation where I was WRONG (of having made a mistake), how it sucked to accept that fact. Why do we feel so - "oh my god, i couldn't have done that. I can't be wrong. There must be some mistake". Well, there was, and I made it.

What is this fear of accepting our worst fear of having made a blunder and having someone point it out to us? Do we really believe that if someone points it out, it reduces something of us. Is this so devastating that we can never rise above it?
We suck, we suck bigtime at a lot of things. Each one of us, no matter how perfect we think we are, or our lives are, we still find things that suck the life right out of us. But in accepting them and dealing with it, makes us learn, widens our own perspective of it. Its our mistake, why give someone else the pleasure of making it theirs?
