I hate failing. Sometimes, whenever things don't show up as expected, I become very angry and start to feel pissed off. How can learn to deal with it?

I am always sick (not hypocondriasis), always complaining and when things are fixed, something else is wrong. I don't know what this is called. I honestly feel that things aren't right in my life, and that some people victimize me. I guess this just isn't the way things are.
What do I have? Why do I feel this way? Is there help out there? I want help...

I am 24 years old and very confused about what to do with my life. I have two areas of interest - 1. Social Research 2. Start a charity foundation.
In my family, my parents have very little confidence in me. Mainly because I have gone through various 'phases' without accomplishing anything. My mom's nature is such that she tends to get excited about things ( different types of food, clothes, exercise etc etc) in the early stages, then just get bored with it and quit. And she thinks that I'm like that too( which is not entirely wrong). So whenever I make a decision she just thinks that I'll get bored with it and quit after sometime. I want to help people. That’s what I absolutely love to do. I love to be there for people who need help. That’s why I like to start the charity foundation, but I'm worried - that if I tell my mom about this she will just discourage me or that after sometime I'll get bored with and quit adding more to my list of failures!.

I went for my annual check up today. And the lab tech called my name and led me to the lab. She told me to put my hand straight and she started taking my blood. After everything was done. She said, "all set". I smiled and said thank you. She just nodded. She didn't even smile.

I think a smile can make a huge difference. I wasn't expecting her to smile or wasn't upset that she didn't smile. But I think for every career, on of the most important thing is to be able to look and the patient or the customer and smile with a warm heart. Do u agree ? Did u have similar experience like me, where u wished that person smiled a bit ??

What does N****r mean. The definition of n****r is : ______________ I don't want to know what people mean to say when they say it. I want to know the real meaning. A n****r is : WHAT

And why do people call other people that? For that matter, why do people like Mr Cent. ( fifty Cents) sing songs in which they often employ that word. Don't black people get offended by this when they hear his songs. Has anyone protested against Mr. Cent or other singers that use this word, and if not, then, WHY ? Is it because they are rich or because black people are scared that he will try and kill them, that it's OK for them to say this word.

Do black people like to be called this way?

Why do black people banalize the word, is it to make it normal and accepted to use in normal conversations? They must want everyone to use this word, right? for what reason

I have anger issues. I tend to get angry quickly, lash out at the object of my anger, and ignore the consequences. I have a pretty obnoxious co-worker, who says stuff to get me riled, and it works obviously. I was wondering if anyone had some tips on how to ignore this person? Thank you.

"show me who your friends are and I'll show you who you are"

I was thinking about this quote, and how it worked with me.
I have many friends who use drugs, so i wondered if that says anything about me?
i haven't used drugs, but if I choose to have druggies in my life, does it mean that I somehow want drugs in there too?

I seem to be unable to feel remorse when i have done something wrong, i cry, but i don't care, i only cry to get sympathy i presume, and have me off the hook. What is wrong with me, i don't think this is an average response to when i do something wrong. I use to care, just now it's just, nothing...

Almost every day, we hear the Canadian dollar is setting new records. But is our dollar getting stronger, or is the American dollar just weaker, since our dollar to euro ratio has stayed about the same.

reich is an terrific economist and professor and has a new best-seller. it really identifies how high technology has made things cheaper for consumers but is killing the working man. the public anger is growing and the same old story. the politicians and upper eschelon are enriching themselves and the xxx generation is working long hours at mcdonalds and walmart to pay the rent. on top of that is the immigration surge that takes jobs and silently lowers living standards for the average worker. he does a great job of defining an obscure situation.

the politicians and ceo's seem to have a lot in common. the working man is in deep trouble in years ahead without a huge move to turn out the damn officials.

I've asked several questions about why women tend to have no accountability for their actions and always point the finger or play victim.

The responses I get are usually things like: "men do it too!", "Your meeting the wrong women!", "Your a misogynist!", etc.

So instead, I'll ask.. what problems in this world are the cause of women? What are women today doing wrong? What can be done to improve the behavior of women?

As a man I can name many things men are doing wrong... so what are women doing wrong?

Men can answer too.

I feel starved of someone to talk to sometimes. I have an idea of manipulating information in a certain way to use as energy. No one believes I can do it. I wonder if it's because they don't understand the idea. I want to talk to the high school physics teacher about it, yet I always don't have the gut to go.

I know it is important to remain skeptical. So, I am in the process of making a blueprint and putting the idea in mathematics to see if it really can work.

Why do I keep not going to the physics teacher? Why do my friends and family laugh when I try to explain it to them?

The life of an unborn child? There is clearly something wrong here.
How do women live after having abortions? There are so many avenues these days, especially in the West, where women can get help, I just can't imagine how someone could have an abortion.
There's even adoption!

claiming that stockholders have already been been taxed at the corporate level.
The Fair Tax advocates claim that removing the tax will reduce retail prices, that implies that consumers are now paying the tax.
If the tax on corporate profits were reduced to zero, and capital gains and dividends were taxed at 35% would retail prices fall.
