I understand that it can get annoying if someone constantly whines just to fill up space in the conversation and that can be the case sometimes but you can never be so certain that there actually isnt something hurting that person and they cannot just "get over it". It you dont want to deal with him/her than it's better to walk away from this individual rather than making such a harsh comment without being so sure that you fully understand the situation.

Last night, I just watched a documentary on body image and seeing how messed up with low esteem these people had, really made me depressed.

I've also heard of a famous writer who created documentaries about war victims and got so low from years of dealing with the atrocities she committed suicide.

Do you ever feel drained or negative emotions from such documentaries?

I've been having dreams with reoccurring details. The dreams are often of old houses, ranging in size from a flat to a mansion. In most of these old houses there is either a storage room with very old dusty things, or an unused/undiscovered room.
In nearly every one of these houses there is a canopy bed with red bedding: sometimes light red, sometimes dark red, sometimes plain, sometimes patterned. The beds are always made, not messy, and are often in places other than a bedroom - ex: in one dream the bed was in an attic and was dusty. Most of the time the bed looks like it hasn't been used in a long time.
Does anyone know what any part of these dreams symbolizes? An old house? An undiscovered room or area? Red bedding or a red bed?
These dreams are extremely vivid and very detailed down to cracks in the floor. I would love to know what they mean...
Thanks!

on her withdrawal day, the day this student decides that it is her last day and is. Why would a professor still feel a little uncomfortable even after he said he would a week before.
Is it because he thinks my friends and I are close enough for me to share any insight between him and I.
He said to keep it on the "down low" or secret .
This professor said he wanted a relationship with me but only after I graduate or no longer attend the college.
He always made it clear to me that he could get into deep trouble if I exposed the conversations we would share.
We had something going on but no physical contact.
He was very shy and quiet, 27 years old.
But with me he was pretty open and relaxed, but still
a little reserved.

So why would he feel uncomfortable giving out his number... if let's say HE really did like this girl and she really liked him
(over 18) ?

he is single and not married

For example I would prefer to be surrounded by water. I dont know what it is about water that relaxes me and causes me to feel a sense of tranquility. The sound it makes is also pleasant to my ears.
What type of environment would you prefer?

Is it "normal" to see yourself drastically different in photographs than how you see yourself in the mirror? Not only do I see myself as a different person in photos but every single time I look in the mirror, I see myself differently. Is this a sign of poor self-image or a psychological problem that I need help with?

Or do you believe that the woman is taken advantage of, unless there is commitment involved? The latter would indicate sex to be unequally pleasurable for men.

We are assuming both are consenting adults with free choices and there is no deception involved. It bothers me to view a woman who chose to have sex, being a "victim." Is it the actual experience that matters, or is it what "come out of it" that matters? The latter would mean women have sex, not because they enjoy having sex, but because they are looking to get something else in return afterwards, hence using sex as a tool. And if women are using sex as a tool to get something else in return, wouldn't that be manipulation? So, if an attempt to manipulate fails, you would be the victim?

Didn't the sexual liberation give us choices? How can we be victims, unless we are vicitims to our own bad decisions?

There's a fundamental idea here that i'm missing. And I kinda wanted to some help if possible.
I watch a really good movie and i'm done with it. Maybe i can watch it again weeks/months/years later. But for the most part i'm done with it. It was good, i have a good memory of it but that's it.
My girlfriend seems to CLING to the past. Thing she liked when she was like 5 she's still into. And as far as movies, if it's a movie she likes she'll watch it 34781023 times. The same for music cd's. But they're all old and the novelty has worn out, because if she ever catches on to a movie or piece of music that came out this century, it's far too late, simply because she was too busy repeat experiencing all the other old stuff.
I don't really get it, but I don't just wanna chalk this up to incompatibility. It does cause problems though. And it's sorta annoying, i'm sure you can guess why.

Some days I come to school emotionally hurt from a variety a things, and my art teacehr takes us out to teh park. He always asks me why I am sad, but I dont know if I can tell him. He is an awesoem teacher, and he says I can tell him anything. Should I tell him? Like one day after my Best friend died, he prayed with me, and it helped.

I have become somewhat obsessed with global warming. I have to say I have an anxiety problem which is probably what is feeding it. I am always worrying about something. Every little thing I throw away, I think about how long it will be sitting in a landfill. I think about lights being on, my car (I drive an 03 sunfire which gets 33mpg.) I have even started commuting with my boyfriend a lot even though it means me sitting around for 2 hours waiting for him to get out. Is anyone else thinking about these things?
