What should I do with my life now? I am so lucky that even tho Im mid 40s, I look in my early 30s and am fortunate to be in great health, fit and have economic independence. I worked hard for years and can now take it a bit easier. What is currently giving me emotional suffering is the fact that I would love to be with a guy that Im crazy about and that is crazy about me, maybe even have a child . I've had 2 long relationships but neither guy was right for the future. What usually happens is that much younger guys are attracted to me, say in their twenties and I am often afraid to take the plunge with them as I feel it may only be an experimentation. I have travelled lots and have recently returned home to try to settle again. I am 'in love' with a guy who is much younger but again, i feel there is no hope for the future. I got so stressed out with my career that I backed down to a more junior position. With 'love', some men were real into me, proposed but I didnt feel the sam

Many of the writings and communications are made complicated purposefully, so that you can feel that you don't understand and call them intelligent.

But what they don't understand is communication should be made simple, so that message is reached to the other person.

Did I complicate you with my words ....hahahahah

I did not mean to ... :)

Are they usually right? There is this guy I work with that seems okay, but there is something that REALLY bothers me about him. I don't have any reason to not like him, I just don't. I've known him for about a month now, and I just have this gut feeling that he is mentally disturbed. Do you trust your first impressions of people?

My old best friend hurt me when she chose her boyfriend and my ex (who was abusive) over our 7year friendship. She said some pretty hurtful things to me. Since then we havn't really spoken much. She broke up with her boyfriend about 4months ago.

However last night I went to her Christmas Party. Her ex was there and also a friend of theirs who has come from overseas to visit.

About a week ago she told me that she hated her ex so much and that her ex was stopping her from seeing their friend who has come over to visit.

Last night at her party I spent the whole time talking her ex (we've always been good friends) and her friend from overseas. I could tell that she wasn't happy about it.

I've been invited out with her ex and their friend next week. She couldn't come anyway because she's underage. I know if I go and she finds out she'll be furious and hurt, just like the way she hurt me.

Sorry this is confusing but do you think I should go and hang out with them?

i know there are women who have murdered serially and andrea yates killed her 5 children, but i can't think of an instance where a lone woman committed mass murder where the victims were seemingly random. can you? if so, how might her motivations differ from those of a man who commits the same crime.

I don't really have one. I don't say much (I know you'll say that's quiet, but I still feel like I don't have one.) I'm passive, I'm patient, and sometimes really impatient. I'm just so bla. Does anyone else feel like this about their personality?

My friend had a dream last night, and I'm trying to help him figure out what it means.

Basically there's this girl he likes and they're really good friends. He dreamt he walked into a bathroom and she was dead in a bathtub. Then they had to drag her body out in a black trashbag.

What does this mean? Or what are some points that can help signify the emotion behind the dream?

Ok so last night I had a dream about one of my guy friends, Im a girl btw. Im not sure exaclty where we were but we were out in public somewhere and we were sitting somewhere and we almost kissed each other like 3 times and he was just showing a huge amount of interest in me.

Is this dream just me showing myself what I really want or is it possibly telling me that mine and everyone who knows me and him suspicions are true?

I really like this guy and everyone who knows both me and him says he likes me but he has said he just sees us as friends but everyone who knows both me and him say that he says that because Im only 18 and still in HS and he is 23 and is publically well known.

Help?

Ok well I have seen these guys who are overconfident which is not a bad thing but it becomes malicious when they decide to insult other people thinking that they're better than them. Obviously they are giving themselves way too much credit when they consider themselves to be the best in the world and believing that they can get any girl out there(pure stupidity). Too many times I have noticed that people who constantly mention and babble about how great of a person he/she is to others end up being very unpleasant. Of course I say this from experience but I guess it cant be the truth in all cases.
Than you find these very sweet people who constantly put themselves down. One of my dearest friends for example doesnt give himself enough credit when he's actually beautiful as a person. He is just too wonderful to have to feel in such a way. I mean he can also be self conscious about his physical appearance when in reality he's actually very attractive. I find it quite odd for some undeserving people to be so confident to the point where they would bring others down and the sweet worthwhile individuals thinking so low of themselves. Of course this isnt always the case and it can also be the other way around but it is something I have noticed.

In order to love someone, you first have to love yourself?
Explain it to me fully.

I think I might be Bipolar, but I'm seriously not sure, it may just be common depression. I have major moodswings, I get angry over trivial things and after that first initial flash of anger I get so sad I start crying. The sadness lasts anywhere from a few minutes to a month, and its a I don't know what I'm going to do, I'm worthless kind of sadness. Then I wake up and I'm happy again, even when I have stuff I know I should be worried about, like how I'm going to meet my bills, whether or not I can keep my car from being repo-ed, whether or not people like me. I don't get it. I can't seem to control the sadness or anger, and my emotions always feel so extreme. Any Ideas anyone?
Oh, a couple of years ago I was prescribed some antidepressants, but other than make me yawn a lot and question every single emotion I felt, they didn't do much.

Today, I went over to my friend's house. (I am 15) .... his cousin who is 11 was there too. Apparently, his cousin's friend who is also 11 was there. It was my first time meeting him. When my friend was telling me to bench press 100 pounds, I tried to but I failed to do so. And that 11 year old guy starts calling me a "wimp" cuz i failed to bench press. And then I got up and said "watch what u say to me kid" ... he starts to giggle and throws punches at me like he's a brave person. My friend says to me, "oh Jason are you gonna take that" ..... So I say to that 11 year old guy, "I'm not gonna punch u cuz I don't want to make u cry. And your younger than me." .. he giggles more saying "yeah i'm sureeee" sarcastically. So he keeps throwing punches, and I keep throwing punches back to make him seem I'm joking. Eventually, I threw a hard punch at his eye and made him cry. He literally couldn't see after. How can I seriously get rid of anger problems and be a better calm, person?
