Social Science - 12 December 2007

Well, my family isn't POOR at all. I never go without anything, but it seems like a lot of people live in such nice houses and have really nice cars and I can't help but feel embarrassed by what I have compared to a lot of other people at my school. As I said, I don't go without much but still, I feel embarrassed since my parents don't have like brand new cars and our house isn't $300 000.

The free calendars,notepads, and address stickers they send you are just a ploy to get you to reciprocate, by relying on the kindness of the human spirit. How ethical is this? Do you feel any guilt--even a twinge--if you never reciprocate?

rubbishing and discrediting you, how would you handle it?

because if theres people doing this in numbers, and you stand alone....there likely to influence alot of people in their favor.

im a bpd sufferer, personality disorder and granted, i do get paranoid feelings as i have had most of my life....but i do suspect that there are those doing this.

i become angry and get worried about having an aggressive outburst because i find these people very provocative.

plus i dont like the fact that theres those rubbishing my character and maybe spreading lies about me, trying to make me an object of ridicule

tomorrow, you woke up and you were completely unattractive sexually. guys no longer had any interest in you. most guys under 25 would be annoyed if you approached them and men in their 30s and even 40s had absolutely no interest in you but would always be interested in girls younger than you. the only guys who would give you the time of day were guys who lacked confidence and felt they couldn't do any better. more often than not they would be pretty ugly. of course one day you'd find a guy who liked you for your personality and looked past your appearance, but when it came to flirting, casual dating, and casual sex, you'd have to watch all your more attractive friends have all the fun while you just miss out.

how would you feel? would you still like sexual freedom? would you like seeing girls younger than you attracting all the guys while almost any guy who isn't ugly has no interest in you? do you think you'd be the same person you are now?

be honest please.

I have had a person that I liked a lot, fool with my emotions from the beginning lately, but this is not the first time I've experience grief in this area. I am tempted to be hateful; I feel full of anger. It is impossible to move my mind somewhere else. It's like I have to have someone new to love all the time, or I am miserable: It's always been the case. I don't like most of my family much; most of them were abusive. If I don't have anyone to care about, I'm a grouch, and I'm full of thoughts and worries about myself. It is tempting show bad character, cause of the way I feel inside, but I don't want to make a fool of myself. Life is not grand for me, and never has been; I am tempted to just be bitter, alone, and full of hate, but I keep fighting it, at least until someone comes into my life, then I latch on, which can irritate most women; I don't think it is all that wrong. I workout at the gym like a son of a bytch; I feel great, but I just feel like shyt in the morning.

see title ... nothing i do is ever good enough. i give my heart and soul to school for a freaking 3.7. i try so hard at band and i'm still second part [when i've been a first part most of my life. a FRESHMAN beat me.]. i try hard at flags at my school but i'm not that good...it's just so frustrating how i can't be so good at ONE thing. nothing i do satifies me and i'm starting to think it's so pointless to keep trying to just fail and not be good enough for myself anyway ... and it always feels like my parents are thinking i can do better, and i try, but it doesn't happen. maybe i'm just not meant to be smart, or good at anything, just another nameless someone :/ ... has anyone ever felt like this?

Everytime I have an interview I always freeze up. I stutter and forget what I'm going to say. Or I forget on how to answer questions.

My interview always screws up my chance of getting the job.

I'm writing a paper on market failure where I need to find one example and write on why the failure occurred and how to remedy the situation. Can anyone give me some good examples of market failure that I could write a whole paper on? I can think of tons of examples, but none that I've really found interesting enough to research. I'm not looking for someone to do my homework, just looking for suggestions or ideas for topics. The old examples of the lighthouse or the beekeepers are too simple - I need something I can actually expound upon. Thanks!

riddicule everything you say, fire taunts at you constantly ?

i dont have the capicity to be able to handle these people without feeling like i want to put them in their graves or do something seriously wrong to them.

obviously im not going to do this to them, because its not socially acceptable...its not socially acceptable to tie a very tight rope around their necks until officially dead.

but im seriously starting to become wound up by certain people here on this forum who give abusive answers....from behind their computer screens...so easy isnt it?

where im not able to reach them and deal with them.

the last few questions ive asked ive recieved abusive answers.

basically ridiculing what im saying...taunting me......even being called a liar.
why are they singling me out, picking on me?

i have enough to cope with having bpd and chronic mental health difficulties without dealing with pathetic excuses for life forms as this...i think so little of them, i wouldnt crap on them.

I know this isn't a dream..but I just couldn't find where this question would fit in so i decided to put it on dream topics.

okay when i sleep in my bedroom at night it's supposed to be completely dark right? like just black. but I always see lots of dots all around prolly millions of them they sort of have different colors or just one color..I don't usually concentrate on that department.
But I'm just wondering if you guys also see them? if so then what are they? is it just part of dark nature?

Today my religion teacher told me that 85% of our brains hold information about our previous life, and that our dreams are based upon them.
Tomorrow we will be watching a movie about this doctor who hypnotizes his patient in his sleep to find out what he was in the life before the one he is living now.

Sounds cool and all, but how many of you actually believe you were something or someone else before the life you live now?

This has actually been tried and it never works. Some people are born with TWO genitalia and the parents have to pick one. HOWEVER the BRAIN is already programed to be a particular GENDER. Some people have sex changes because their brain is the wrong gender later in life. You can research this if you want.

Your BRAIN is programed at birth to be a certain gender. Its not society that makes you act like a man or a woman. Its BIOLOGY. BIOLOGY.

Women and men are different and feminism down-plays this. We are not different like blacks and whites are different (thats purely cultural).. we are different because of our brains.

Why can't feminists accept this?
