Do you ever do something stupid or embarrassing and then sometimes keep re-playing it in your mind?

It gets overwhelming sometimes.

How can you prevent this form happening?

My best friend is gorgeous and funny and she really is just overall a great person. I know that I am not ugly and I think I would be confident in my appearance if I did not know her. Saying (or typing that) is a huge step for me fyi because I tend to refuse to accept that I have failed in any way... bad habit. When I'm with her I constantly feel my looks and my personality are inadequate because I am not as outgoing and funny and just easy to get along with as she is. Don't get me wrong...She does nothing to make me feel this way she always tries to make me feel good and is not conceited. Sounds perfect right?I shouldn't be insecure because I have an amazing boyfriend(as does she) and my good group of friends and in some ways, such as school, I guess I am better than her a little. But that's not important to me.
Recently, we gave a guy our number when he asked for it (just as friends...we do have boyfriends!) and he has been texting her but has yet to text me. I sometimes hate myself.

I've done marijuana, but I'm not sure that I even get high. For those of you who HAVE done it, how was it for you, getting high.

just spent the afternoon with my ex(We split up a couple of years ago&neither of us have really had a serious relationship since,we're very over each other but we have stayed really close friends-only friends!)He rang me earlier to hang out & we spent the afternoon together,which we do a lot.Most of the time he seemed distracted (although this isn't unusual for him)&/or kept making little digs at me. I tried to be bubbly&cheer him up&when this didn't work I thought he might need to talk, so after a walk we dropped in at our local. He explained he was just stressed with work&wasn't getting on with his family,he needed to go&speak to them (not long ago)I just called to check it went ok(he seemed v.down) he's out with 2 friends & this woman I know he likes! why lie?Call me up to be moody/distracted with me all afternoon? He wears me out &end up feeling bad as I think It must be something I do to make him down?It's almost like he feels obliged to spend time with me, I don't ask him to!!

Co-workers and/or subordinates can be knuckleheads sometimes. Dealing with them is a difficult task if one intends to maintain good morale in the workplace.

We've been close for years, out friendship was the type that just "bonded" and clicked right away. We always went to each other if we ever needed anything unconditionally - I was the one he could open up to and he was the one i trusted & who understood me. Our friendship changed when we unexpectedly realized that we learned to love each other and fell deep.(i was the first girl that had anything w. him) We crossed the boundries physically (no sex) but stopped in time and realized it wasn't a good time to be in a relationship - mutual and fair decision.

When things were getting back to normal again, he experienced tragedy and that struck a chord in our friendship - didn't talk for a while and rumors got to us fr. friends but got better when we worked it out. Lately, our friendship's been slow...we haven't been consistent like we used to and it's made me sad. He did start being more in contact w. me but i just found out that he's got this big problem and he doesn't want me knowing...

They say the only dumb question is the one not asked, however some people seem to delight in making you feel like a fool for asking carefully thought out questions.I realize you need gumption and a big backbone to come on here for help, but I can't help but feel hurt at times when I get a smart as* remark. Am I the only one, honestly? Thanks for your input.

So my cousin and I like got stuck in the desert kinda,
but we were by like a construction site... but we were in the middle of nowhere,
but there was playground equipment like the monkey bars and stuff( it seemed alost like a huge sandbox)
and we had to "survive" there.... and we used my spanish notebooks that i had with me and some masking tape to make sort of a shelter.
And when night came in my dream, we saw my uncle leave the construction site to go home, but we didn't go with him.
So finally we decided to "pack up" and leave by following the garbage trucks from the construction site,
and then the wind started blowing REALLLLLY hard then i woke up....
i am really confused

the conspiracy involved preventing you personally from living your life the way you wanted to.....you knew there was people high up preventing you from accomplishing what you wanted..

stopping you from having that beautifull blonde girl that you saw the other day..
preventing you from being socially successfull, getting a good job....emigrating far away to build your own life..
you were being kept down, controlled so that didnt happen....you were being socially rejected........socially excluded...
prevented from having the girl you wanted, prevented from having a successfull life...prevented from taking control of your life.
you knew people high up were doing this but didnt know who....when you raised queries about it...you were told your mad...crazy....its all in your head.

when you did try to be proactive and take control of your life you were threatened by thuggish looking individuals you didnt no, but who would just appear, ivade your space & act threatening towards you

I am moderatley depressed. I feel completley lazy all of the time, I feel too tired or worthless to get up and do something myself. I never go outside. I am always bored and hungry, even though I'm not acutally hungry at all (if that makes any sense) I feel so incredibly lazy, and I don't even have a problem with it. I'm so bored to tears that it's hard for me to even take another breath.
Is it common?

Recently I met a young man with Asperger's Syndrome and it was the first time in a really long time that I allowed myself to cry-to empathize with somebody. I don't know how true it is, but I feel as if I met him for a reason.

Someone I was speaking to, pointed out perhaps, I met him b/c he was a mirror reflection of what I'd become. I wasn't always like this-but somewhere along the way I became withdrawn, untrusting, completely unfeeling. I sort of learned to numb myself to every feeling/emotion around me and pretended that I didn't care. Only, this young man doesn't have a choice in the way he is, but I do!

Sometimes I find that it is just so much easier to not feel than to face the truth. I come from a history of every type of abuse there is (not that it was a big deal) b/c it just doesn't feel like a big deal anymore. I would punish myself for feeling - eg. cut myself for having sexual feelings etc.

Yesterday, I realized that I never actually dealt with any of my issues.

Portion of dream I remember:
It was like 10 PM, I was going up the stairs of an apartment building I used to live in on the beach. In the dream, I was living there in the present. At about the 4th or 5th step from the top, I tripped on a stair, fell and hit my head on a stair..I fell forward and up on the stairs, not backward or down.
When I fell in the dream, I dropped a key to a motel I would stay at when I'd go from coast to coast and try to get resituated in real life
I got up after I fell, head was a bit bloody, I was pretty groggy, slowly walking to my apartment, then I layed down on a bed...it was very plain and the only piece of furniture in the apt, no blankets either
On the bed, i was still very groggy and kept thinkin about the key, seemed like for days. I eventually got back up and went and got the key...the sun was out
