I'm sorry
For something I didn't do
Lynched somebody
But I don't know who
You blame me for slavery
A hundred years before I was born

Guilty of being white

I'm a convict
Of a racist crime
I've only served
19 years of my time

Guilty of being white

Is there an "unfilled job" rate published? Like the opposite of the unemployment rate. Instead of the number of people looking for jobs, it would be the number of open positions businesses are trying to fill. If so, what is the name of this number. What is the rate right now? Post a link for the ten points.

Tell me about people like this. What do they really want? Does the behavior stem from low self-esteem, insecurity, need for approval, etc.?

What have you learned through this website, Y/Answers and Questions, which you would have never imagined you'd learn to be a source of epiphany on a very human level?
You may give as many examples as you wish, but if I could sincerely ask you, please do not treat this question with sarcasm or disrespect.
Thank you very much!

how do you tell?
what is the difference between bullying a friend and abusing mentally?
what makes the abuser not afraid to show his dark side in front of his victim? he feels safe and comfortable to do so? for the victim is weak? or because he knows that the victim would tolerate as they are close?

Okay, so religious 'delusion' or 'obsession' is noted in cases of OCD, severe psychotic episodes, schizophrenia and manic depression. But where is the line drawn between religious devotion and mental illness?

I know that feminists exclusively smoked Virginia Slims in their heyday. Is this still the case? Does it make you feel liberated?

I was hired for a good position, had a very awkward start, & realized that the job was a huge stretch for me. I'm keeping my head above water

That said, since my start date (a few months ago), I have been tried for all I'm worth. I tend to be shy and don't have much experience public speaking, and I was asked to help with speaking in front of a large group without any prep, been humiliated in front of the rest of the staff, been ogled by male coworkers I work with often (oh, yes, I have large breasts) -- I have psychological issues and this tauting and teasing just shone a light right on them all. I was an anxious mess and left the office on more than one occasion. Still, they never fired me (yet), and I need the money and the benefits, and cannot take lower pay

My confidence, however, has been at an all time low. My supervisor fakes having confidence in me, and this intimidates me. I feel like such an underling when I'm with the core group I work with. How do I counteract all this?

For some reason, I have been having dreams with my deceased dog and deceased friend in them. It's not like they just passed away, I'm pretty much over the grieving and all that. I'm just confused why I would be having frequent dreams about either one of them.

Last night, I dreamt that I was at a college mixer. It was in a gym where there was also a garage sale going on. I ended up meeting a group of girls, and one of them announced that she'd found the perfect mate for me. It made no sense because they weren't people I knew in real life, but they were familiar to me in the dream. Anyway, they took me to meet this person, who was an FTM. He had dark hair, a wide face, and a slender, delicate form. I didn't really care what gender he was; I just thought everything about him was so attractive. But he was shy and aloof. The rest of the group encouraged me to get him alone so I could ask him out. The moment we were alone, the dream ended. My question is this: why am I dreaming about a transgendered person? Though I dated a transman one time, I primarily practice a straight lifestyle. Does the dream mean that I want to incorporate masculine and femine traits into myself? Or that I'm open-minded about who my soulmate should be?
