Ok people, well I believe I am bi polar, but I haven't been tested and my mom won't test me cause she doesn't think I am. So what the heck is it then, can any psychology expert people on this thing please answer this question really well and give me a very good explanation. Ok why I think I am bi polar now, I have constant mood swings that seem really different from normal teen mood swings. I have never had a day that was really good and stayed that way the whole day and night. At some point every day or night, I experience a bit of sadness even if nothing seemed to have been going wrong. What is it people, is it just cause I am lonely, have very little friends, and have been single my whole life and still am. Or am I really bi polar and I really do have serious problems??? I have had experience talking to bi polar people before and I know that it really sucks to be them, so if I am, well I don't know what I am going to do. I probably will do something insane then, I dunno what

I had a dream of me being in a train and than this guy came in and sat on the seat next to mine. He than pulled out a gun and shot some people. I didn't know how to feel but I think I was a little afraid later partially because he promised that he'd kill me last. Somehow I got out of the train, by fighting him off I think, and since the door closed he couldn't come after me therefore I managed to escape.
In the second part of the dream I remember being with family outside at night and I was having trouble catching up with them but I thought they went into this alley road so I ran in there to join them. It was so dark and I could barely see any of my surroundings except for a few trees but very slightly. I struggled so much to see anything and sometimes I spotted people walking by which is something I knew from seeing black shapes of humans but when I got closer to check if they were any of my family members I found out over and over again that they were just unfamiliar faces. Whenever I spotted something I used to get my hopes up but than end up feeling disappointed to find out that they weren't the ones I was searching to find. Than I heard the voices of my parents calling me and saying that they weren't at the place where I was looking to find them. I followed their voices and found myself in an environment with daylight and grass everywhere. My family was there and they were having a picnic. I tried to talk to them but for the most part they couldn't hear me or see me. My presence was almost always unnoticed and it was as if I were a ghost. A few times I was heard and the answers I received were short but even this rarely happened.

I really hate receiving these compliments about the way I look. I become confident and boom I get crushed. Totally rebuffed.
Are the girls lying to me to just seem nice; am I lying to myself with my confidence?
Or are guys too picky? I've noticed even the ugly guys think they can do better than me.

”Even when I know I love you, I will let you go, and I will even feel happy. I will always keep my feeling for you intact. And whenever we want to remember about us, our memory will be there. Wherever your path leads you today, I want you to remember our journey as something beautiful full of happiness. I hope I did some good in your life, as you did on mine.
I have nothing else to say, but to wish you so much luck, and prosperity in anything you begin. I haven’t had anything more wonderful in my life than you. I hope you keep that in mind.
I will always love you. ”

What were the results for this, and do scientists actually have any sort of proof that birth order is a factor in determining what a child acts like, or what kind or personality they have. if birth order does have anything to do with this sort of thing, what traits do people in specific birth places generally have?

"If combat means living in a ditch, females have biological
problems staying in a ditch for thirty days because they
get infections and they don't have upper body strength. I
mean, some do, but they're relatively rare. On the other hand,
men are basically little piglets, you drop them in the ditch,
they roll around in it, doesn't matter, you know. These things
are very real. On the other hand, if combat means being on an
Aegis-class cruiser managing the computer controls for twelve
ships and their rockets, a female may be again dramatically
better than a male who gets very, very frustrated sitting in
a chair all the time because males are biologically driven to
go out and hunt giraffes."

I dreamed I was on a cliff looking down at the ocean and there were hundreds, if not thousands of turtles swimming, mating and crawling to shore. They were mostly leatherbacks and greens. The water was so clear I could see the turtles that were completely submerged as well as those that were partially above the water. I felt a sense of awe and serenity.

I'm curious why people seem to constantly want to know if their desires, fantasies and/or sexual needs are "okay" or "bad"? what is it about people that feel a need for justification in their desires?

I have looked back at some of my own questions and noticed a strong sentiment of a need for justification? why do you think that is? How do you relate such feelings to today's society?

Racism and prejudice towards different races was always a prominent factor all through history. However, after many years, and many series of changes, racism still remains like a oil stain. So, why do people tend to judge and sterotype someone based on their skin color? Why even in 2007, and despite of liberalism developing in the next generation, why do many other people remain so ignorant?
