When someone tries to make you mad by antagonizing you with something they know you feel strongly about, what is your response to them? What do you feel 'shuts them down'?

I went out with this man twice, we never even kissed. I thought maybe something could happen because he was so supportive. I was never physically attracted..that was alot of my problem. But after two dates I thought why lead him on? I think that is wrong.So I just kinda just didn't return (any) of his calls, e-mails, text messages.So I got like 48 messages in 5 or 6 days..keep in mind I haven't returned ANY messages. He and I are both middle aged adults...and he still keeps calling after 2 weeks.*not as much*But I am getting really mad that he can't stop bothering me. I never told him I loved him...but when will this man get a clue..you would think we had dated steadily for 2-3 months, we knew each other like 4 weeks. I am afraid to reply back to him in any way because I am afraid this will encourage him. Will he finally give up ?.and I just remember I did reply once to him and told him to stop pushing me and let it go and he continued to e-mail,call me even after he said he would'nt.

i had a dream that i was being chased by a bear i was terrified but it still managed to corner me. i prepared to take my last breath but instead of attack me it stood up behind me and put its paw on my belly (im 7 months pregnant), it nudged my hand onto my belly also and lastly touched my chest. i was baffled in the dream, as i am now, and although the bear didnt talk it conveyed that i should ask someone to "translate" because i didnt understand. talk about symbolism because in my awakened state here i am on answers because i dont understand the symbol (bear) or its "message". thanks

Work has become a real downer lately. I've gotten more and more depressed about the way they treat me. I used to suffer from depression years ago, but their treatment at the moment is getting me more ill. I work in an office so its not like my job is hard but I feel like I'm being bullied by management. I could never speak up because it would cost me my job and any hopes of a future one.

If I go home sick today I could get taken to a stage 3 disciplinary meeting where I would surely get sacked and let me assure you. I would never get an office job again if I got sacked at stage 3 which basically constitues gross misconduct. What to do?

I live in Indiana and I have never seen one(i've been here only one year), but we always get tornado watches and warnings. I think I know a little about storms, I've done research and I know what to look for, but even though I have the information I am still terrified. How can I get over this fear? I'm planing to move just because of it. Is there anything I can do to stop being that afraid?

Is forgiveness a thing that belongs only to Christians?

Do you think you have the good mood to forgive people's mistake?

I dont want to be a skeptic, but I am not a religious looney either, and I found myself many times wishing with positive upbeat thought that a parking spot will appear for me, and lo and behold, I get nothing day after day after day...and there was a period of time where I got lucky for like several weeks in a row...coincidence? I am really willing to apply this, but I need a partner who has seen results in order to instill that belief in me that it is worth my time and effort to go all out with this. Is anyone from the SF Bay area willing to work on this together? Sort of monitor each other's results, motivate each other when we want to give up, etc. I am a 23 y/o female student (in a relationship) living in Berkeley and attending SFSU.
Look forward to your guys' advice and opportunities! :)

I have been married to my wife for ten years and have had a really great sex life with my wife. Recently her need to experiment sexually has grown. Normally we just communicate and talk and have “Dirty Sex” and talk to each other about having sex with other people but that has grown. We have started having sex with a couple we know on a regular basis. This isn’t the problem. She wants to take this even further and start having sex with strangers and me to find strange women ect. Her need to push sexual boundaries is growing at a high rate of speed and we both have agreed that this behavior is not healthy. During the course of our ten years of Marriage she says she has felt this way but has managed to stay faithful but has since only been able to communicate to me her real desires. Now I know what half of you are thinking, she was probably molested. She swears up and down she was not. She was how ever promiscuous during High School, and lived with just her mother. If there are any psychiatrist out there or anyone who thinks they can offer me an educated opinion please I’m listening.

...even when the "pulic" are only 20 friends whom i already know well.
i'm really upset about myself for being like this. but i'm determined to change this and i'm confident that i can make it in the end.
i know i need practice. but how? i'm an undergraduate and i have a lot presentations to do in my group, and until know things are OK because i always make my presentations sweet and short---i need to end it before i get panic and start shaking. and i want to point out that if i ever be seen shaking or obviously nervous, i'll feel so ashamed that i don't think i'll ever have the courage to face my class any more!!! i mean it!!!
can anyone give some suggestions? or can you tell me some personal experience, how you cope with it?

and i find deep breathing just doesn't work for me, nor does visualization.

When I'm in a crowd or even with just a few people I get really uncomfortable and self conscious. I know I have some insecurity issues, because I haven't had any girl friends for a couple years, so I'm definitely rusty at the whole being social thing. But when I'm with my boyfriend it's like I'm a completely different person! I feel relaxed, confident, witty, and comfortable. Then I get around other people and my brain just freezes up sometimes and I can't think of anything to say and I don't know where to look or how to act. Help?

me and my boyfriend have just split up due to wanting different things. We lived together and we were together 2 and a half years...

Last night he had a dream where we had split up but time had passed.... He had a new girlfriend but she was me..... but it wasnt me if that makes sense, she was identical to me.
She was in the car with him and he drove over to my dads house to try and get in contact with me. My dad let him in and i was in the garden sunbathing...
I had sunglasses on and didnt seem that bothered he was there and my grandad was splashing him with water...


What do you think this means?

I've this cousin who has been through a lot in her life & mostly emotional pain and abuse. She has been through some painful relationships as well.She is good looking, kind, intelligent and a very caring person.She is self reliant and has always thought herself to be a very self confident woman but now somebody told her she might have some real self confidence problem. And when she looks back at her life she sincerely feels she definitely might've some major self confidence issue and probably it's just that she has never been aware of this until now & therefore she never acknowledge it either. now since I know everything about her & what she been through in life I feel it might be true. Now what should she do to restore her self confidence back??how should she pull the pieces of her life together?? I know she really needs help and some emotional boost which is crucial for all of us at som point in life and especially for her now as a woman.

I sincerely value your suggestions.Thanks

I am depressed and I hate it. I won't allow anyone to love me. Every time I end a relationship I realize through old letters and things, that they loved me. I have issues with my mother. Throughout my life she has had no problem letting me know that she didn't want me. I have spent a lifetime trying to please her and to understand why she hates me so. Nothing seems to work. My father is an alcoholic so even if he loves me, he has trouble showing me. I've spent the last 11years helping him to get his life together and have put my own on hold. I crave so bad for someone to love me but when I get a chance, I can't see it. I don't know how to love myself although I have given that as advice to others.

I blush all the time, and I am worried about how it is interpretted. At the moment, a guy is convinced I like him, because I blush around him, but infact I'm just a bit intimidated. He doesn't accept this and I don't know how to stop this kind of misinterpretation happening, or reduce how often I blush. It really upsets me, and I don't like how easily it can be misunderstood. Any advise would be really appreciated!
