Can a person be vain...obsess over certain facial features in the mirror, etc...yet have trouble believing he or she is attractive? Explain why. I think it IS possible.

Ok a few years back I had the best guy friend I ever had but he started to be emotionally abusive so I cut him off when I went on to college. I haven't really thought of him since but occasionally or out of the blue he'd show up in my dreams, we'd either be making out, or greeting and hugging

Well the last few weeks in the last month he's been in my dreams at least three times. Most of it was about seeing him again and me apologizing, we make up and hug each other and hang out.

Sure I'd like to see him again but I don't think about him all the time or rarely. And when I do have a dream about him I wasn't thinking about him in my waking life.

So what would this mean?

Our mind IS the source of our happiness and our suffering !!
The Dharma teaches humanity how to work with the mind and emotions effectively. How to subdue disturbing thoughts/emotions and how to enhance all the positive wholesome mental faculties, such as Patience, peace, gentleness, self-control, No Harm toward others, forgiveness, happiness, etc.
Each of us want to be happy and to do our best to avoid pain and suffering. Our mind - our thoughts, attitudes, intensions, views and emotions, are the primary factors contributing to our experiences of pain, suffering, and peace, happiness.
Working with Emotions: The Dharma teaches us so much concerning working successfully with our emotions. It teaches how the cultivation of Patience and loving-kindness opposses and erradicates anger; and wisdom demolishes
ignorance. It teaches insight which dispels pride; mindfulness meditation dispels anxiety and depression;meditating on compassion counter-acts a poor self-esteem.READtheDharma!

If you imagine the colour red, you know what it looks like. Now imagine the colour blue.

I often wonder if maybe some of us see the colour BLUE when we think RED, and the colour RED when we think BLUE.

Cause there would be no way of proving it. How can you describe a colour?

I'm a shy, sensitive and quiet person who doesn't like receiving a lot of attention. Sometimes, though, people will make lighthearted comments about something I've done or said and will sort of playfully poke fun of it or make a lightearted sarcastic comment about it. Normally, I get very shy about it, especially when I'm with a large group, and I will just avoid eye contact and smile a lot. I've been told by family members that I'm easy to make fun of and that it's easy to play on my emotions.

It's not that my feelings are hurt by these actions (though I do tend to get sensitive towards a few things) and I know that people are not trying to upset me.

So I'm just wondering why people like to playfully tease quiet, sensitive and fairly shy individuals? What makes them SO easy to tease? Do others find it endearing or is it something else?

I have a fear of vomit.
Not of vomiting, just vomit.

Vomiting doesn't really scare me very much.
But other peoples' vomit scares me.

Like, for instance, I refuse to go to amusement parks. There's just too much risk. If you go on a ride, even a not very rigorous ride, there's always the chance that the person behind you just ate a corndog, then went on a big rollercoaster, and is going to vomit on the back of your head.
Even if you don't ride anything at all, what if there's vomit on the ground?

Just thinking about it makes me shudder.
Any thoughts on this, and what can I do to overcome it?

Why would you pick that method? Which is the most sureproof? For example, a "shotgun to the head" might result in blowing off your face, instead, but surviving. I am not suicidal, I am just morbid like that.

I’ve had the same job for the past 4 years, and in this job, I don’t communicate very much with others. I feel like im starting to lose my ability to socialize with other people. I feel like whenever I do talk to people, I talk wayyy too much, and interrupt, and just overall make an *** of my self. At the same time, I cant tell that this is true or if im just becoming self concuss. What can I do to improve my social skills and overall become a more social person?

I'll keep this as short as possible: love my gf dearly and know she loves me but she can't always show it. asked her about it, we talked; occurs to me (w/out her going into detail b/c she just freezes) she has unresolved issues (given to her from what I can tell) that are pretty big. She knows she needs to change: I have seen her attempts; she is so strong and strong willed that she tries to do it by herslef but I now realize she can't do it alone and probably needs pro help. I want to be there for her and I try to be. I seriously know I can't do it for her, just want her to know I am willing to travel this road w/ her to the end. So what do I tell her? Anything? Lead by example? This is extra tough b/c no one I know has any practical experience to advise from.

I’m not seeing one group of relatives for Christmas until Dec. 26th and really don’t want to spend money on gifts. I’m thinking since I have to throw the live tree out after Christmas anyway it will make a nice gift for them. They also live more of a country/wooded area so they can just toss in the woods once it completely dies. Plus, they normally don’t take their own tree down until after New Years so they will have TWO (2) Christmas trees on display for at least a week. Not too many folks can say they have two trees. My question(s), is this a proper gift and should I leave the tinsel on it for them?
