Social Science - 27 October 2007

My parents divorced early. My dad & I used to cook every time he had me when I was young. It was a big deal because he was giving me confidence and support to "create" on my own, just like an adult. He would do the dishes & I would cook (with his help) so I felt that we were working as a team too. I became very territorial of his kitchen, so I made a sign with pretty colors saying "X's (my name) kitchen" for him to put on the door and told him no other woman is allowed to cook in MY kitchen. Came back the next week & the sign was gone, I felt so hurt & betrayed, may have even cried but didn't say anything.

Funny part, still 25 years later, when my stepmom tries to come into my kitchen and make my dad something to eat, I feel as territorial about "my kitchen" & my right to exclusively feed my dad, as I did then. I subconsciously want her out because it's MY dad and I'm the number one woman who feeds him LOL.

Do you guys have similar memories/things?

It is capitalist America that produced the modern independent woman. Never in history have women had more freedom of choice in regard to dress, behavior, career, and sexual orientation.

Today, I ran over a black lab, she was so beautiful and so young. I followed the owers to the vet and it was too late, her back was broken. I watch as they had to sign the papers to put her to sleep. Just like that she was gone.

I can't help but blame myself. I keep replaying the whole situation over and over. I'm scared, lost, and so alone. I've been wondering if I will ever have any normalcy in my life again. Has anyone gone through this? If so please I need some words of inspiration to get me through this tragic time in my life.

I was wondering do you ever ask people for advice like how to deal with different situations in your life that don't seem to be going that well, Then after they explain a solution to you that you have already heard about and tried but it didn't work for you. You want to ask questions as to further your knowledge on the solution but first explain to them how you did try that and it didn't work so you can ask where to go from there or just ask questions about what they are saying, (because maybe you missed something somewhere) but they get mad at you and tell you that you are just arguing? This all feels like the only way you can get more information/help first it seems like you would have to tell them where you are so they can explain how to fix the problem but you get the same anger and they don't want to help you because they say you are just arguing?

I was eating poop and telling myself that "At least I'm not eating the bad part." even though it wasn't far away and started to wonder like; "What am I doing?".

But don't get me wrong I don't eat poop. I just want to know what this might mean. The only thing that I can think of is that maybe I'm taking too much of it.

Anger in some people is expressed in their depressive bahvior personalities where as in others it is expressed out right in anger; however it is the same anger expressed in different patterns of the personalities of the people.
It is very difficult to assess the anger of a depressed person and it can be equally if not more harmful to the children than the parents who anger openly.

This is not just your average scared, she gets frightened almost to tears even few days after watching some flick that was not even that scary (e.g. Pan's Labyrinth)... and its not even a real thing she may be scared of. She knows this is a problem, but nothing she doesn't seem to be able to control it and convince herself not to be scared... has anyone ever had a similar problem and how did you deal with it? Her problem really is just her vivid imagination (cause she gets this not just from movies, but from news, books, etc.)

Are guys as afraid as girls and how do they keep it together when fearful, how could they be that good at keeping it inside? For instance if you are in a scary situation like a guy with a knife or chainsaw is coming after you. The girl screams or runs the guy just walks normal or he protects you. Does he feel fear and how does he hide his fear so well?

I'm an introvert, some might call me anti or on-social person. I think "anti-social" sounds too harsh though. Like I HATE people. Far from the truth! I like non-social better. Anyway, I'm not a people person. I think naturally I'm just not social. But also society as a whole, is really getting to me. A lot of things I just REALLY don't like. Let me count the way. . .

So I was wondering, is it better to find a small group of people who you have stuff in common with? You know keep sane? Or is it just better to keep to myself and keep to my thoughts? My art, writing ect.

I know its really up to me at the end of the day. But I'd like to get some thoughts on the matter. . .

I'm a young 21 year old guy.

Is anyone else outraged with the messages the media and the fashion industry send to girls? Will this later cause a backlash when they get older? If so, will women's fashion become less feminine (ie short hair styles) and become more unisex in the near future (ie 2015)?

from what i gather, most women over 30 love getting attention from 17-20ish year old guys. they seem to prefer it over attention from guys in their 30s and even guys in their mid or late 20s.

they say it's because it makes them feel like they feel like "they've still got it". but what makes them think that it's harder to attract teenage guys than guys in their 20s or 30s? most teenage guys are actually EASIER because of the hormone rush. and a lot of them just have this older woman fantasy. i am 19 and i hit on older women all the time who aren't that hot. it's probably harder to het the attention of a 25-35 year old man. so why are most women over 30 more flattered by attention from an 18 year old than from a 27 year old?
