If I have the energy I can make it seem to anyone even myself that I am perfectly fine when deep down I feel that something isnt right. So I feel like I live my life dodging everything that could involve feeling. I hate this but its all that I have known. How do I get rid of this?

i will cry over anything lately. my life is good...i mean, sure i kind of had to let go of somebody i really cared about because it wouldnt have worked out, but i used to be this happy excited person constantly and now i can't seem to get excited about anything. i'm so boring i bore myself. people have been asking me if i'm alright and i AM, i just can't get excited about anything.
im just being a drama queen maybe?
i've never been like this, seriously, i was always the person making everyone cheer up.
argh. maybe i'm just wasting everyones time. i dunno. i also dont want to talk to anybody either.

Do you think people can give some sorta sign from beyond the grave?
I sat in loved ones usual chair for the first time tonight and there is a definite cold spot .. only there ( no its not near a window, cold air vent)

Put this loved ones rings, cufflinks in a new ziplock baggy a few weeks ago
finally deciding to look at them tonight
Found his handwriting on it- his name, phone # ( which was a joke between us- whenever he's leave me a message he's say his full name and return phone #) telling me its a old habit from dealing with the public
on the other side it says in his script in all caps HOW

how as how did he die?
how are we doing?

Is this possible OR am I going crazy?

I'm having this, sort of, recurring dream thing. I'll fall half asleep, then I will see something like a bug or spider on my wall or bed/pillow. Usually, I'll calmly get up and turn the light on to check it, and then I wake up and see that there was nothing there.

Now, I know that I am imagining it, because I'm afraid of spiders and usually would not calmly get up if I saw one right in front of me.

What does that mean in a dream dictionary thing?

I've been insecure for as long as I can remember. I've tried many times to overcome it, but it seems like the more I try, the worse it gets.

I feel like I'm more self aware than ever, but I can't tell if I should accept my personality flaws as a part of who I am, or if I should do something to improve them. And that confusion causes more insecurity.

I feel like I'm spiraling downward into deeper and deeper self-questioning and doubt. The more I understand about myself, the more confused I am about what I should do with that knowledge.

What do I do? What practical, everyday things can I do to pull myself out of this spiral?

I walked into a gas station tonight, and there was a drunk dude at the counter, talkin to his friends (guy who worked there), and he started kinda hassling me a little bit, made me feel kinda bad. When I was leaving he was like "have a good night!" and I said "you too" and then he started laughing/joking....my question is how can I become totally secure with myself, my looks, and my complete attitude. I hate it when people think of me as weird or evil...I try to be as nice as possible, and I have a TON of friends at my work (who are all good people..since we rid out the *******), but when out in public or in college, I feel totally insecure about stuff...how can one become fearless? I guess I just wanna be liked by everyone..and not be considered weird or be out of place

It's the fear of genitals (specifically female genitals). Anyone actually have it? I'd like to hear why you have this fear/what it is specifically that you fear. I can't seem to find anything relevent online.

I dreamed that I was going to die ( I am not sure from what) and that I said goodbye to my family. Then I went with my husband and kids to show them where i was going to be buried at and to tell them goodbye. Then i started crying because i wasn't ready to say goodbye to them i wanted more time. And then I woke up. I would like to find out what it means. I am suppose to have surgery and I am very scared about it. I wondered if maybe my dream had something to do with that.

It all started silently... One day I was happy and everything, had my insecurities, my ups and downs, and a lot of fun. I was head over heels for my BF. Then the next day, I didn't feel quite as "in love". I first thought it was just me falling out of love. It started growing. Now I've lost EVERYTHING. Even my insecurities, even envy. Now I usually don't want to see either my friends or my BF. I'm desperate, this isn't me, but it doesn't seem to go away. Now I'm questioning everything, and I just feel I can't be happy. I can't enjoy anything; chocolate, sex, music, dancing, happy movies, friends, BF, NOTHING!!!! I used to be so empathic. It seems like a distant memory, but this started what like 10 days ago? I find no purpose in my goals. I thought of breaking up with my BF, but now I realize it wouldn't help. All of this is really wearing me and others down.

How can I deal? What can I do? I really want my feelings back...!

That sounds terrible...and I'm not some pyschopath or anything, I just simply don't love them. And I'm not going through some 'phase' as a teenager or anything. I have refused to say "I love you" to my mother almost my whole life, even as a kid, because I knew I didn't mean it. I don't want to hurt her, but to me I shouldn't say it if I don't mean it. If I ever do love someone, I'll say it tons. Why don't I though? They didn't mistreat me or anything. If it matters, my father died when I was three, but I've known my step father since I was four.

Frequently I have dreams in which extreme acts of violence happen to me, typically I am shot or stabbed, can anyone tell me what this might mean. I am not on any medication and have not experienced any actually violence in my life in a long time. I have in the past dealt with violence (twice I have been robbed at gunpoint). Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

We all appreciate beautiful flowers, natural sceneries, picture and art, women and men. But from where does the sense of beauty originate? I have not found any answer. Do you have any?
(Regarding beauty of women, I distinguish between pure beauty and sexual appeal. I am not using the word "beauty" in such a restricted sense.)

Not "I dont like spiders" Unless they really make you have palpatations.

Real psychological fears.
Eg, I blacked out driving once, luckily at night, and I ditched with no-one else on the road.
But now, driving, especially rush hour and motorways, can give me the naff stomach and the odd nervous hand shake. Nowhere near as bad as 18 months ago when it happened, but it's still at the back of my mind.
Perish the thought I ever black out again and put someone elses life at risk.

Anybody have "concerns/anxieties" about aspects of their life, and how did you get them?
