I'm a 14 year old girl, and I'm shy. Yes, shy.
I will assume that for some/most of you, the first thing to cross your mind would be that I need to change, and that perhaps I have a big blemish on my personality that needs removing. But whatever people say now, I have learned to accept that that's just me...I'm a shy/quiet person. It's not as if it upsets me anymore; it doesn't bother me or my life.

Anyway, I just have a problem with...everyone, really, (except my family) that they all seem to think that I have this major problem, saying I need to change, that there is something wrong with me. I am always annoyed when random people that I don't know too well approach me and say "Why are you so quiet?" What is it with this society that causes them to have such difficulty in accepting that some people are quiet? Anyway, the time that I would've spent talking about pointless things is spent thinking about deeper, more meaningful things.

Are they...entitled,or is a psych way to feel "higher" herself without becoming aware of how lowlife is so?
Is it learned from preceeding male roles?

Years ago, probably 1994, I had a vivid dream in which I was in Paradise and visiting a lovely but quite empty church. It appeared to be a Christian church. It was empty though. I felt the presence of God beside me, and asked him, "where is everyone."
Then God told me, in a normal male baritone voice...not booming or echoing like in the movies....but in a gentle voice...."fill this place."
I take that to mean, I must do some proselytizing, some spreading of the Gospel. What do you think?

Why is everyone saying this is evil from the R&S section? I mean what if you are born with this gift and God gives you a sign that this is him sending you the visions? 6 months ago, I gave God my life back; before than, I didn't have any visions or anything of this sort. I'm really confused on this; seriously people.

It was brutal and gory, and required me spraying off blood with a hose afterwards. Then, the more I thought about how I was going to jail for the rest of my life and how I took his life away, I started wanting to take it back, and I started freaking out and it turned into a nightmare. I was way relieved when I woke up. I was mad at him when I went to bed, because he was being a whiny jerk, but it was nothing to think twice about, he took his bad day out on me. It wasn't something to kill him over.

I had a good friend who got raped, she use to go out with men alot and she was in love even with a guy! After the rape she tried to kill herself, then she kept changing her appearance like she was trying to find a different person within her to accept. Now she prefers women to date? Does this happen alot?

I had this dream last night and it was so way out there that I'd love to know what in the world it means. I'm almost positive it's probably a message from my spirit guides, b/c I asked for their help last night.

K, I don't recall the entire dream, just that I was standing in some sort of a hallway, looking at this locked glass cabinet that had these sandwiches in it. Now, get this, all of the sandwiches were dried out, like beef jerky dried out. Some were chicken breast sandwiches, but some--you ready for this??--were bones. I took out a bone sandwich, in which there was an entire foot inside a hoagie roll, and as I was taking the first bite (was very crunchy, needless to say) one piece of the footbones fell out. the little piece had a smilie face painted on it, you know, eyes & mouth. And I remember thinking I had this hot chicken sandwich somewhere else, but I didn't want to go get it, I wanted to eat this footbone sandwich.

Yeah. ten points if you figure THAT one out! lmao

How do economists measure the long-term status and health of the economy given the influence of the political business cycle? Do economic think tanks analyze the US economy on the natural business cycle or the political business cycle?

I used to hang about with myself at school and I didn't realise I did this or people didn't like me...When I found out that being social is in human nature I decided to hang about with people. But usually I didn't talk but rather thought all of the time. By this time I was 14-15. People started to make fun of me and I didn't actually say anything back.

Then I realised I had NO FRIENDS. I also learned how to boost my confidence but still didn't get anything right. So then I started to imitate people and found that they made fun of me even more but I still didn't realise why. I started getting depressed and drew things. And I found out that I had a natural talent. But I didn't obsess about it I was more interested on collecting virtual books my sciences. I also couldn't keep conversation going and I imitated everything my peers did which got me nowhere.

I just wasn't myself. I also realised that as a child I had no frineds but obsessed in my surroundings...

You name it... interior designers, makeup artists, kindergarten teachers, florists, hairdressers... Many of those guys are homosexual. Do you think they got the gender-inappropriate job because they're gay? Or did they become gay as a result of gender-inappropriate career choice?

This is not my dream but someone who is close to me and asked me what I thought it meant but I have no idea.

She seemed to be in a church that she didnt want to be in. Left and ended up on the corner block or so from her parents home. She told herself. I can run there. I know I can make it. I can run. and she ran as fast as she could home.

The second dream.

She was driving along the Detroit River front and it was realy beautiful. The water was like glass and in this river was a high mountain covered in a snowcap which was beautiful to see. she was so entralled looking at it that she didnt drive properly and lost control of the car and ended up in the river with the car going backwards. She then waved to people on the shore indicating she needed help but all they did was to wave back. Then the car stoipped and she got out and found she could stand in the water as its wasnt deep.
Behind her was a house where some people were and she told them that she needed a
