In the event of a sudden death, such as a car accident, do you think the victim consciously decides to "let go" or they feel like they just don't have the strength to keep living so they decide to die? Or is it pure biological and the person doesn't even know they're dead? Also, do you think they have a "near-death" experience themselves where they can see themselves?

I know most of these questions are pure speculation and can't be proven, but I'm interested in the different viewpoints of what it's like to actually die.

Ok, this is not intended to be a racist or homophobic topic, but I just wanna know if I'm not the only one who is experienced enough to determine the physical characteristics of an online user, based on the style and tone of his written responses.

For, instance if a Y!A person replies to my question; he does not have an avatar or a comprehensible username. But I can reasonably judge from his way of writing whether he is:
i. A fat or slim person
ii. Black or White or Latino or East Asian or Indian

Is anyone else able to do the same too, or is it just me?

Seems like there are a lot of questions asked on here that should be asked of a professional or at the very least can be found on the internet just as easily and usually with more information.

No matter how old you get, your experiences as a child stay with you and color, unless your actively work on it, your decisions.

How do you help someone improve their life who is addicted to excuses. Granted this person has excuses that have a factual basis but how do you go about helping them make the connection that being pro active and taking action to resolve problems is the answer and not offering knee jerk excuses for every thing?

If so, I need it. I've gotten so lazy that I even procrastinate on doing stuff that I enjoy. I really need to find some ambition.

Are there any books I can read that would help?

Isnt it like when we look at most wanted list on FBI website and just can tell that these particular people that are so dangerous always looked like they could be somebody who would commit crime? I mean of course we would never know, but at the same time most of pedofiles look certain way and act certain way. Most of cannibals or child molesters look certain way too....almost like their feelings that are currently present in their minds are exposed on their faces? For example, John Wayne Gacy aka "The killer klown" look like he had issues off the jump. Or Andrei Chikatilo aka "The red ripper" looked like he was psycopath and just troubles person. And what about Dr. Josef Mengele who was one of the docs in concetration camps in Auschwitz that is also know as "The Angel of Death", i dont know how they called him angel, but he look like he is pure evil and just not a human being related creature. Is there a connection between looks and behavior?

MY ANSWER
I help frustrated people all the time. I can't solve thier problems. I don't always know the best advice. I think they benefit from just having someone non-judgemental to talk to. They usually walk away in a calmer state of mind.

I have tried a variety of techniques, in my search for something other than suffering, i can not find it, is there a word?

Have i not experienced anything other than suffering, if so, why do i bother looking for something else, is this called instinct?
I recently learned that we are allowed self esteem, and so this is similiar to being selfish, ok, so my selfish desire is for something other than suffering.

Where is it? how do we get it? etc. . . . .

I think I have a disorder that is like bulimia but doesn't involve eating.

The same habits are present, binging and purging, feeling out of control.

For example, I will spend lots of money one week and then when I feel out of control I will be extremely frugal and then when i feel back in control I do things to lose that feeling.

This also applies to organization. I will obsessively clean and become very organized, only to gradually become more and more messy and out of control with clutter until I feel completely out of control and then I will continue the cycle.

What does this sound like? Bipolar? I'm planning on seeing a doctor but I wanted to see if anyone could take a guess on what this might be.

I cant find any reference to it as being a valid diagnosis ( Dx ). My daughter ( 8 ) supposedly has this . My other children are on the Autism Spectrum , I'm wondering if this Dx is a veiled way of hinting that she has a form of Autism without coming out and saying it. The agency that tested her would have to provide her services if she fell on the Autism Spectrum but now has refused to because she has " Social Cognitive Disorder " . Any help is appreciated.
