I have KD for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midnight snacks. I have not lost my sanity yet. Am I normal?

After being hurt in the past, I have learnt, like alot of people to keep my guard up and close myself off.

When I close myself, It means that I can choose when to open up with people I feel I can trust, but If I open up to make people like me, I am opening up to people that I don't trust or like.

It's like your heart needs to turn to stone, just to protect yourself.
But how can you love someone if you have to be like stone to protect yourself?

Again, don't get me wrong, not trying to offend any women here but I'm curious.

How can one protect a young girl from feminism? I have a lovely young niece(she's 8) and I want to protect her from feminism. I don't want her to grow up and become a feminist. I don't want her being corrupted by feminism.

So what can I do to protect my niece from feminism? I care about her a lot.

How can you get get that bubbly feeling that you get when for example you jump into a freezing cold lake. You know its going to be cold but you do it anyway, and then feel so alive and everything looks so sharp. It's like an adrenalin rush or something. How can you feel like that, and is it possible to keep it for a long period of time?

What things - curses on society - should we get rid of forever? This question is inspired by Janice Long's night-time programme on BBC2. Please, no meandering or wishy-washy answers. I'll start off the list by saying:-
# The 'celebrity culture' and its celebration of nonentity and mediocrity
# Murdoch's Fox organization
# So-called 'political correctness'

I am not looking for the usual...lose weight, exercise, etc.

What I want to know is how will you make some much-needed changes to your character, personality, attitude and outlook on life? Now think about that for a while, don't say you have nothing to change, you do, so be honest with yourself.

After you choose what it is, tell me how you plan to implement that change.

I function very poorly socially; I have a bad case of shyness and a slight case of agoraphobia. I become fascinated/obsessed with things such as art, space, weather phenomenon, rain, gigantism, speed (physics) not fast cars, music, counting/collecting in my mind: dog breeds, rocks, lists of old Slavic/Polish names, Slavic surnames, thinking about large numbers, race/ethnicity, genealogy, ethnology, evolution of culture and language, I start to create my own languages and fantasy worlds, I make countess lists of all the Polish names, surnames, and place names, and translate Serbian, Croatian, Russian, names surnames and place names into Polish, I create new words and phrases, I get fascinated by Mathematics to the point where I stay up all night doing all the exercises in all my old math books for no reason (trigonometry through multivariable calculus). I get fascinated by what happens to sewage water, I want to contribute to the world, from the stupidest (the sewage system), to the more worthwhile (language and culture). I just don’t know how to normally socialize with my peers, and all this stuff is taking its toll.

Okay, first of all, I do not believe in ghosts and demons or whatever but lately I'm starting to question whether or not I'm wrong about their existance.

It started on my 13th birthday party...I had a sleepover with 6 girls and we stayed up late in the living room watching movies and listening to my new CD. We were also talking about random stuff. I muted the TV and sat on the floor and started talking about something and I heard a mans voice behind me...no one else heard it. Then the computer printer turned on by itself and started blinking an orange color. I jumped on the couch next to my best friend and we both looked out the side door to the balcony and we BOTH saw a figure standing there, starring at it. We screamed and she started crying because we both saw the exact same thing...we looked back and it wasn't there. The CD was still playing and I said, "look, ghosts aren't real. If there are ghosts, show me a sign!" so then the song started skipping and I'll admit, it scared Me.

And now, sometimes late at night/early in the morning, I hear my bedroom door open but I’m always too scared to look then I get really really cold and the hair on my arm sticks up. I get that feeling that someone is standing over me and sometimes I feel taps on my back…when the sun finally comes out I look at my door…and it’s open. There was another time I was in my room alone and my light turned off…I got scared and said, “please, come back on!” and boom, it came back on. Another time I was downstairs with my mom and we both heard footsteps upstairs and a heard a door open and close…we were alone in the house. I stayed home because I was sick. Everyone else was at school/work. Does this seem like ghosts to you?

I am a junior in high school and am very interested in going into the Psychology field. So far, Developmental Psychology sounds best, but I've just begun learning.
Any advice from those who are working towards/have already obtained a Masters in the field or higher? Is there a big need for Psychologists like there is for nurses?

And how do you deal with it?

I don't trust men when it comes to staying faithful. This is due to events that happened when I was a child, my relationships, and somewhat believing that there may be truth to the polygamous nature in men and being weak if it drops on his lap at the right time and place. I had to make peace with it though. So having accepted this as a possibility in any relationship, I try to keep the communication open, look out for warning signs of dissatisfaction, distance etc., even keep an open mind that I may have to let him go do his thing if we both agree on it. Finally, if everything fails, how to deal with it with minumum damage to my future children, them thinking any less of their father and their lives falling apart. I'd rather protect myself this way than going through the stress of being resentful towards men, getting controlling or living in denial of him (wanting to) cheating.

I'm curious how others deal with these things

About three or more months ago I had a dream message from someone dear to me who had died ten years ago. The dream consisted of the message, "I will be with you on November 2nd". I told two of my daughters and my best friend to "watch" for this date and I did this soon after I had the dream. I even went out and bought lottery tickets ... we laughted about it. On November 2nd my husband had a bleed in his head and died on November 9th. Has anyone else had this phenomenon. This is not the first for me although the previous ones were benign. I am now trying to interpret everything I dream...although I know they are just that..dreams.

i told my therapist i was gay in the closet, and she was like "well that's ok. i think we should all love each other. some men have relations with men, women with women, and men with animals."
and i thought about gagging when she said some people have relations with animals! LOL!

Last night I had a strange dream that I was pregnant! I was sitting in a room with this dude, a random dude and then a doctor walks into the room and tells both of us that we're pregnant, both of us...both guys! I look down and I could feel the baby actually moving inside my stomach as if I were really pregnant! I was like "what the hell do you mean I'm pregnant? I'm a guy, where is it going to come out from?" Then the doctor takes out a syringe, and tells us "...this is gonna get rid of that baby." I watch as the other guy gets the shot and he smiles and says he can't feel the baby anymore, "it's gone!" I don't know why I changed my mind about getting rid of the baby, but I wanted to keep it. I kept rubbing my stomach. I kept telling the doctor no, and the other dude no, they kept coaxing me into getting the shot. I rubbed my belly and thought about the baby moving around,thinking to myself no. I was going to keep the baby no matter what. I rubbed my belly and then the alarm went off.

I would like to know your opinions on how much more, you think, the yuan will continue to increase, in value. I'm pretty interested for the answer to this question because I'm Chinese and my dad owns some property in China so if the value goes down to say 5 or 6 yuan or so to 1 usd, I would be pretty dam happy... what do you guys think? After five years how much will the yuan be worth compared to the dollar?
