This happens about 50-70% of the time I am in bed falling asleep.

I might be thinking about something, and the words I'm thinking in my mind are suddenly being said to me outside it. Like, they don't sound like they are coming from my head but from around me.

Sometimes the 'voice' finishes the sentence in my head I was just thinking. Usually though I can barely understand what it is saying, it's just gibberish. It's also not my own voice, they are different mens and womens voices. They will only talk for a second then stop. But then come back again in another minute or so (if I'm still thinking) to talk for one second.

It can get very frustrating.

I -do- have hallucinations, very vivid ones... but I want to know if this is a hallucination too or a common thing that happens to people. Like when you stare at an inanimate object for a long time, it will start moving. That happens to heaps of people and isn't really hallucinating (so I've been told by most people I ask).

this really emabrassing and irrational, but this is what happens when i eat in public.

an example is today and every other time i l eat in public, i went to some place in my school that serves sandwiches and hot food. with the hot food you can chose what you like and the sandwhiches just coome in a plastic case. now im not fat, but im not the thinnest person and iam really self concious about my weight. i am too afraid to choose the hot food because i think it will prove that i take an interest in my food and that i really enjoy eating. which i do, but i dont get overjoyed about eating. when i go out to eat i am afraid of ordering anything to specific on the menu. basically its the same concept. i am concious about how much food i leave on my plate. sometimes i position my plate and silverware towards my parents if i am out eating with them to make it look i didnt, god forbid, eat all of my food. i eat very carefully. anyway, how stupid and irrational is this...?

In my opinion, I don't think I would want one. Maybe during role-play sex or something but to be kept that way, I don't think so.

I just think the relationship could get boring really fast if all your wife did was wait for you to get home and wait for you to give her an order. I prefer a woman I could not just have sex with, but relate and talk to, hear her opinion on matters instead of just agreeing with mine even if she dosen't, and just have a good laugh with.

I know most other guys might think thats weird, but that just me.

I think I have anxiety problems. It started about a year ago, I'm not sure how. I'm now in 9th grade. I hate going to school; because of my anxiety problems. It's driving me nuts! I'm obsessing over swallowing and breathing. I'm not sure if that's a sign of OCD. I hope people around me don't notice it, I'm very embarassed about it. Also, I can't focus in class, because I'm thinking about sub-concious thoughts. HELP?! I'm freaked out when I'm around lot's of people, also when I have to talk in front of the class. I'm usually cold but when I get these anixety problems I sometimes get hot flashes. I also don't feel very aware of my surroundings, it's hard to explain. It's like I'm in my own world.
Someome please help me.

I'll start :)

Gnu Sense, I admire your intellect and I wish I knew what you know about logic. I hope I will some day. I admire the quality of the arguments you make in your Q&As. I also admire that you will still say some thing even when you know it will get you a lot of flack. For what it's worth I want to thank you

ok who else wants to tell someone in here how they admire them? :)

im so angry i was just clenching my teeth and growling in the bath before.
but i worry because my permenant state of being is like this...im deeply bitter..jealous..angry resentfull...all- the- time.....not just sometimes.

If we are all equal before God, by having to give account for ourselves and our decisions, who is to stand against God by denying this acknowledgment as the basis for ALL equality?

Most consumers get near to nothing from war spending. The dollar is at an all time low. Many of our international lenders and those that sell to us things we need (like oil), are asking to be paid in currencies other than our dollar. That is real inflation, but our salaries and our savings from CD interest are not going up. I am afraid a real economic catastrophe may occur, are you ?

Has anything happened to you or anyone you know (and trust enough to believe!) that you simply can't explain? I don't mean just hearing a bump in the night, I mean something pretty grand - it doesn't have to be supernatural.

Examples: someone you know vanishing off the face of the earth without a trace, a supernatural encounter, something that defies the laws of science, time, space, etc. Anything at all that fits the question.

"Its not even that I really want to end this...its just like I need a little break right now to think things over I guess with my life. Like I said before and I will say it again I do care for you and I do understand that you want to change things and thats great...but I just need this for me right now. I just need my mind focused this semester and soccer right now. Its not even I dont want to give it another chance or anything, I just need like a little time off before it does happen you know. After that then we will see how we both feel about it. "

In this dream I take some of my new friends to my old school. Well the "Three Jays" from my old school came up to me, Jordan, Jared, and James. They saw me and came up to me. All three were wearing red and black. I won't say which ones did these things but: One wearing the most red came up to me, I went to give a hug and he kissed my cheek instead (very romantically) Then Half red Half black gave me a bear hug. I was overjoyed by those two. Then the one wearing the most black came up to me. I lost my happiness.

The one wearing the most black I loved last year, I had a chance to be with him, and blew it.

Then His new girlfriend came up and we got in a fight. She ran away and her friend tried beating me up. I had my bag with chins by me, so I started using my chains to beat her. Then she pulled out chains and started whipping my stomach.

What does this mean? Do I have some HATRED?

Some feminists believe that, it is possible for women to be 'portrayed', 'paraded like cattle' or 'objectified', in films, beauty contests and in erotic bars, in a way that is sexist or demeaning to them. How is it possible that a woman can be 'paraded like cattle' (as though her intelligence is akin to bovine levels and she has no choice). Why do many feminists think that women can be, 'paraded' and somehow don't think of the complex implications of their decisions when they choose to enter a situation where they would be somehow, 'exploited'. Is it really possible for a woman to be 'objectified'? is that not just patronising to their intelligence? Isn't Mr Universe exactly the same thing? or even male nudity? I ask is feminism patronising to women?

ok so if you read my last question i know you think i am a jerk. which i agree now. at the time i didnt know what i was doing. i just knew that I was in a spot. see the puppy of maybe 5 months had been handled bad and was skiddish against bigger guys. the vet said that we would never be allowed to take her around kids. due to the first ten people she would be fine with but for the 11 she would have a problem. so i was very troubled by it. and in our town the worst place for a dog is the dog pound. the dog pound is a place where it is supposed to be sanitary. but from former workers who couldnt take working there any more they said it was dirty. they were told to just rinse the cages instead of actualy was them which left lots of disease and dirt. infact a lot of animals that go in there need a lot of medical attention after being bought be cause of it. so i didnt want to take the puppy to the pound to end up like one of them. but i couldnt just give her to someone and lie and say she

I am an only child dealing with a mother with terminal cancer, who also recently lost her home. She has been significantly depressed since I was a child, at times suicidal. This news has furthered some of her negativity. We have an emotionally fraught relationship. As a child, my life was very stressful and in some ways abusive. The trouble is, I don't know how to support myself or my mother right now. She lives in another state, so I try to call often. Usually I am met with a lot of negativity regarding the world around her, as if I am a sounding board. It's hard. I am a good mother, a good student, a good worker, and strive to be a good partner. I feel most of my stress comes out during my time with my partner, as it is the only time I feel free enough to do so. It isn't fair to him. I feel like I am breaking down, and am striving to deal with this while providing the best I can for my own family. Does anybody have any advice? This is really difficult for me.
