Social Science - 27 November 2007

I am extremely shy.
I have no friends.
I spend lunch in the bathroom stall or sometimes I go off campus and walk around the neighborhoods near the school.
Most days in class, I'll go the entire period without saying anything.
this is not my personality, therefor I cannot just accept being this person.
I used to be very outgoing and had a ton of friends.
I became depressed and isolated myself from other people. I pushed all of my friends away, some of them moved.
Now I've just forgotten how to use my voice.
PLEASE, can ANYONE give me advice on how to break out of my shell and be more outgoing???
I'm a sophmore in high school, I really don't want to waste the whole high school experience. I was like this last year.
I really appreciate it!!!!!!!

I am only 18 but I have horribly constant fears of dying. I have had these thoughts since I was even younger, around 12. They have become increasingly worse, I think about it everyday. I get a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach everytime I think about it. I am scared I will wake up and my parents will be dead. That or I just won't wake up one day. I have tried thinking of other things, focusing on life, but it just doesn't work. I am a happy person in general which makes this strange to me. I just can't shake the feeling no matter what I do. Should I get help? I'm scared to tell my parents because they may think I am making things up for attention.

I battle a group of people I think it was 5 or 6. It was this past Monday. I was getting bigger like the Hulk. I manage to beat them all. Although there was more people at the bottom tons more waiting.I jumped and manage to land on the ground where I can't remember the rest and it wasn't much time later that I woke up.

say if a person just wants to be obscure, and choose the people he associates with......and he doesnt want to mix with other cultures, just what hes familiar with. own ethics, own race etc.

is this so wrong if your not doing any harm to anyone?- and how do you accomplish this? and what do you do if the people you dont want anything to do with, intrude in your life?

IF I say weak women are not attractive.. people stand up and clap. If I say strong women are unattractive.. people boo, hiss, tell me I can't handle a "real" woman, etc.

Why?

I don't HAVE to like strong women and I can't help it if strong women turn me off.

Seems like women expect men to judge them by the same standards they judge men. When we don't, they take offense.

Can you explain why? Why does a womans perpective on things always have the be the "correct" one?

theres this wierd girl at my job shes real wierd and says shes been to psychic school. she does this trick where she asks you a question tells you to think about it, writes the answer down, rumbles up the sheet ofpaper. Then she takes another one and tells you to tell her the answer. when you tell her she writes it down and just to make sure it wasnt an x I told her to write an x below the answers. shwe did and did the same thing 3 times. Then when she uncrumbled the paper they had the same answer. The one i wrote the x on even had the x. could she really have read my mind. The wierd thing is I was thinking lisandra for the first answer and she misunderstood and wrote lashonda. but the answer still poped up with the x. She says she dosnt even no how she did it and she just closes her eyes and the answer pos up in her haid. is this maic or a trick

Master Yoda said,
"Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."

So are we living in a world driven by fear?

What makes people go from crying little innocent babies, to becoming sociopathic, dangerous killers who do all of the things I mentioned above.

I want to know if it's society to blame, or if those pepole just snap from pressures, or just it's in their character.

We obviously are faced with many social ills in our society today and even worldwide, and we never know who we're really dealing with, as people can be hard to read or figure out.

So what is it that makes people do these things and turn evil?

Is it easier for men or women to be this way?

Are people born evil or good, or just like an empty slate?

Obviousyl as we have worldwide companies and our society is well established, lots of intellectual things are going on, which requires a functional mind, so it's dumb to say that evil is a very powerful and prevalent force in the world, but it's definitely there. It has it's role.

So what makes people like this, and how do we spot them out and deal with them?

in a way that surprised even YOU at the time?

Did you speak up, or shut up?

And if so, was it a newfound strength you discovered in yourself...or a weakness?

Please provide me with news stories that demonstrate a clear link to feminism. Show me where feminists have advocated for laws or some iniquitous situation that negatively impacted males in the U.S. besides the fallacious spin on custody judgments, because that horse has been beaten to death. Besides AA, because that discussion pertains to a difference in political ideology that is outside the scope of feminism. I want to see something new.

Examples would be discrimination against males nurses in the U.K. -- show me where something similar has occurred in the U.S.

The trend seems to be for people to post stories relating to situations overseas, then to complain about feminists in the U.S. There is no logic to that approach, so I'd like to know whether we have policies here which are directly discriminatory against men, and whether *feminist organizations* not politicians, have had any part in their design.
