I really don't. I figure that most men who talk to me for any time can see easy enough that I'm clearly not a man-hater. And any one who knows me at all knows it already.

But yeah I do know that saying you are a feminist sometimes gets some reactions even from your friends and I may explain just what feminism really is and what I believe. I don't feel that is really the same though.

How about you?

I know it's about the Vietnam, but what point do you think Kubrick is trying to make and what makes you think you're right?

Its usually about me being with my friends. 3+ it was about this girl who is mad at me for not calling her for a while. We're not in a relationship but friendship and she feels like I turn my back on her when I don't call her when its nothing like that.

Also one of those dreams is about this girl I liked so much who broke my heart a few months ago. Its where she kinda apologized to me but I half believed her.

But mostly the other girl.

What does this mean?

Most my dreams me being with friends.

2nd most is that girl who is mad at me. Almost in every recurring dream of me being with my friends she is there.

And only once about the girl that broke my heart who kinda apologized to me in the dream.

What does it mean?

It was really weird I felt I couldnt sleep but felt like I wasnt awake. My mind played out things I'd done in my past and not the good ones, 35 years old it was a long night!! I even felt ashamed at one point (even though its the past and cant be changed)

Why did this happen, at one point I thought it was because I was dying and welcomed it!! Dont get me wrong I am a little down right now as I was made redundant a month ago but I am not suicidal and know that i will get one soon.

I felt like it was punishment in some way?? I did have a bit of a temperature but hadnt taken anything for it as it wasnt serious. Any honest sensible ideas, ??

The women's movement is about choice. A few months ago I was listening to a speech Steinem gave in an Indiana Univ. Someone asked her a question and don't recall exactly what was being discussed but Steinem mentioned born-again virgins and started laughing as did the audience. By her reaction, she made it seem that she believed choosing to reclaim your "virginity" was unwise. It really is not any of your buisness, I think. You are not hurting anyone and it is YOUR choice. I just found it hypocritical for her to act that way. What do you feel?

...but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters." ~Gloria Steinem

Why is or why isn't Ms. Steinem's quote relevant today? Is it okay for a girl to be a tomboy, and for a boy to be a bit "fem" or like a girl? Or does tomboy, feminine, and masculine still apply, if you're a feminist, an equalist or a humanist?

I'm 18 years old. I hate parties. When I get invited to one, I feel really awkward and uncomfortable and then I just leave and feel bad that I went. I hate talking, being, going out or hanging with more than one person. I feel really bad that I am like that. Should I feel bad?I am just not social and I hate it. Does that make me a less of a person? I can't change no matter how hard I try. And believe me, I tried....a LOT.

Especially among the teenage girls on my college campus. Something to do with the combination of the Northeast accent and that high-pitched, whiny teenage intonation make their voices *incredibly* annoying to the point of torture to me.

Anyone else have this problem ?

I don't want to live anymore. Why? Many reasons...

1) I hate how TV channels have turned into these days, with crappy graphics and serious overhyping. It makes me want to puke.

2) Technology has evolved to a level I cannot stand anymore.

3) I hate it how the government has made these stupid laws about foods, and how security has gone extremely strict ever since 9/11.

I am 30 yrs old. I have a fiancee. I have 4 herniated discs and have been on pain medication for 7 years. My father and my fiancee huddled up behind my back and have decided I shouldnt be taking them anymore. So now I face an ultimatum from my fiancee and meddling from my father. I have never abused these drugs. Ever. Period. However due to news stories of abuse, they assume I have done so and will not listen when I say no. So now, they firmly think I abused them and I am under house arrest of sorts. My fiancee monitors my entire day 100%, I cannot even take a dump with the door shut. My pockets, cellphone, belongings are searched for "hidden pills". Of course there are NONE. I am angry at them and their controlling nature. I am 30, in abject pain physically and I know that life isnt going to get better for me. I am contemplating suicide as the only way to escape my physical pain and the control being placed on my life. Why do people meddle so?

Since i was little i have always been VERY shy and it still hasnt gone away. Im 18. I also have no confidence at all in myself, looks or personality wise.

Its like i have a little voice in my head all the time telling me im stupif and worthless and everything is going to go wrong so dont even bother.

Im very shy even around family i havent seen in a while and i try to avoid going to certain places if i know i will have to talk 2 people.

I spend alot of time on my own.

I avoid going palces all the time, even though i no it will be fine when i get there i jsut cant phisicly make myself and choose the safer option of staying at home.

Im really loud and happy at home, but anywhere else im shy and just want to go home.

Im never comfortable in what im wearing, even if i think i look nice when im at home if i look the same while out ill feel discusting like the ugliest freakiest person in the world, even though people tell me i look like a model.

A work colleague has just called me, her father in law has just died after a short battle against cancer.
She was sobbing her heart out and I just didn't know what to say.
I hope she knows I'll be there if she needs me but I didn't say it.

When I was 12, I started exhibiting OCD symptoms. I would pray for upwards of 4 hrs/night and everything had to be just so or I'd have to start it over so my family didn't die. I had to touch everything in a series of 3 or go back to it etc. Also around this time, I started feeling this amazing natural high. It was as if I could do anything... like I was invincible...not to jumping off of a building, but you know...unstoppable.

The OCD symptoms mostly (except for a few that don't interfere w my life) were gone by age 17 but now at 27, I still get these highs sometimes. They last quite a while...sometimes for days but I have never really felt depressed a day in my life unless I was going through one of my OCD onsets.

Anyone else experience this?
