I'm not happy with my life and myself. I'm at the age where most people atleast know who they are or have a personality, but not me. I'm a 22 year old introvert, and I have been an introvert for the pass 7 years. I don't have any friends or anything. I'm looking to change that, and be comfortable with myself enough to open up with people. What kind of personality should I try to develop where everyone likes me and wants to be around me? Whatever personality I have now isn't working.

I mean people you don't know and who just joined that day or the day before adding you to their contacts?

This has happened to me 4 times this week. I blocked them just in case. With 2 of them there were a string of new contacts including women here in GWS.

I thought you may want to know.

Hi all. So here's the deal. I constantly worry about what other people think of me and I feel like I'm always being judged by somebody, somewhere. I hate having this feeling, and it's getting to the point where it's seriously affecting the way I live. I know that getting over this will not be a overnight process, therefore I need some help. What advice can you give me to help overcome my fear of being judged by others. Thanks!

At one time, Man would have eaten sh*t,probably after finding the odour so irresistible - in the same way flies and worms do - scooping it up greedily and quickly wolfing it down with relish before selection kicked in and GRADUALLY turned 'him' off it. But why didn't selection favour this rather unrefined habit, and thus promote 'recycling' in its purest form? And why do we -'instinctively' - now find the smell revolting..

Asperger is a average to higher than average intelligence form of autism. That would imply that you must be smarter than average than average to have asperger. Anyway, do you think that asperger causes higher intelligence or is linked to higher intelligence in some way. Meaning to have asperger you also are more intelligence? Like a gene that is linked to high intelligence.

I'm a female, possibly with apereger, which is rare. I am at about 90% per population in intelligence. My friend, who is a psychologist said she though I had asperger maybe 3 days after she met me. I haven't gotten tested though. I do think that I have a lot of the characteristics, but maybe got overlooked because I am female.

My boyfriend and I are in a semi-long distance relationship. I notice that it is a lot easier to pick fights and vent and b**ch online than on the phone or in person, just because it is so impersonal. I know my boyfriend is getting tired of it, and I feel horrible. He doesn't always have cell signal so we can't switch to talking on the phone all the time. Has anybody else experienced this, and if so, do you have any advice?

In every abortion debate I all ways hear what "If she ways raped or incest why deny them abortion? I would hate to tell a 12 year old raped victim she has to have a kid."

almost all pro-choice will say that but have any of them even talk to a raped victim that has gotten pregnant? Some of them even thinks it will help the victim,but in reality it doesn't. about 75-85% of victims are against abortion.

The reason most people reach the wrong conclusion about abortion in cases of rape and incest is that the actual experiences of sexual assault victims who became pregnant are routinely left out of the debate. Most people, including sexual assault victims who have never been pregnant, are therefore forming opinions based on prejudices and fears which are disconnected from reality.

I had a dream that my brother started smoking. He doesn't smoke- nor is he about to start. He was smoking cigarettes, like he was a chimney. In my dream I was in complete shock, but no one else even seemed to care. I looked in a bunch of online dream dictionaries, but I can't seem to find this exact replication. No one else in the dream was smoking- just him. What could this mean? Thanks! Merry Christmas!

Off the bat I love that my boyfriend games but we've hit some bumps since I bought him WOW last Xmas. Biggest mistake of my life! We've tried having him play at set times and what not but it takes over and he wakes up and goes to sleep playing. On my end, I am a "real world, real experiences" type of gf to him. His comeback to my concerns is that I am being unfair since "multi player" gaming and most of all WOW is his fav game.

I'm literally getting turned off and bluntly depressed over the fact that he's seemingly weighing me or the game even when I'm giving him other gaming options. I'm here to find a middle ground but am at my limit with WOW. Any advice? =/

The client (26 y/o female) has already had an eating disorder in her past (10 years ago).
She has recently become very depressed therefore, seeking treatment.
She has epilepsy which has gotten worse and severely broke her leg forcing her to move home, past and present family issues (so its a hard situation in dealing with bad memories in her moving to her family home-PTSD?).

-She may be coping with these issues by subconsciously and slowly delving back into the old habits.
-Is just depressed making her not feel like eating.
-New seizure meds. causing low appetite.

Could be different reasons...
But should it be mentioned in the session that i noticed her losing weight?
or ignore it in fear that it may make her want to lose more (if its the eating disorder behaviors coming back)

Just looking for input on what others would do in this situation.

Thanks :)

I tend to be a little bit too messy. This is partially because I dont like to throw anything out and even though I can be good at details I dont bother to spend time on something that I wouldnt like doing. As a result I keep too much junk that takes space and makes me disorganized. I guess laziness has a little to do with this too.
I always need some kind of push to get things done. Good thing I dont live alone lol.
How can I set some limits to this habit?

I dreamed that I ate something (I forget what) and I looked down at my stomach to see that it was transparent. I could see what I had eaten. No other part of my body was this way in the dream, just my stomach. What does it mean?

All my life I have gotten things done at a slower pace than the people around me and always needed to take my time so I dont know if asking this question would provide me with a solution but I'm giving it a try anyway just to hear other people's opinions.
So what do you think? :)

It seems like mostly uneducated or unintellectual people beleive in religious fantasies. With more access to education more people will see how ridiculous religions are and will become atheists. Do you agree?
