Some jerk of a girl said that I am both arrogant and have low self confidence. I really do not care, but I think it is ironic that anyone could both of these traits. Feel free to share your thoughts.

They try to figure out what would get us to buy that new car and we need cars to drive so its not like the are trying to get you to buy something that you dont need right? So why is it manipulation?

It is safe to say that mostly everyone has heard the phrase "Sex Sells." Who do you think is the primary target for this phrase?

---someone who has been smoking several times a day for over 30 years. Is the pot really the most important thing in life, making sure you have an uninterrupted supply and never run out? Can another person ever be top priority? (I realize there are different situations and different personalities, etc, just looking for opinions from others who may be familiar with this lifestyle)

I'm not white and i'm not outgoing. When i attempted to be friendly with some japanese people in several occasions since 2000, all i got was faces of disappointment and disgust towards me . And it keeps happening even though i try to be friendly. Then, i turn and see Japanese talking with white people or other outgoing americans and they are so happy and enjoying their company.

I'm hispanic and quiet but i do make an attempt to have good frindly conversations when i meet them. yet always, i see that they rather be with a white person or a talkative "real american".
I've studied for 4 years now, but because of all these bad experiences I feel hated and can't even feel good anymore about studying this Language. At the same time, it's not like i wanna just give up and forget it. Even if Japanese hate me, i would keep studying, but it's really harrrd. It makes me sad just picking up a book knowing that i'm hated by the people of the country where that language is spoken.

I can remember when i was a young boy. There was just one african american kid in my class. My dad was with me at the time, and I asked him. Hey why is that guy so dirty? (referring to his skin tone as aposed to my own.) Is that because I didn't know any african americans before then, or are people naturally or genetically racist.

Have you seen the commercial that has the floating mirror on the street? People walk by, look in it and see their dreams coming true. What would hope to see if you had an opportunity to look into a Mirror of Dreams?

My answer - I would LOVE to see myself as a successful television personality, like Oprah.

manipulate others or take advantage of others actually feel remorse or regret. I fell victim to someone manipulating me and when I confronted him he told me "it was all uncalled for" nd he didn't mean it. Yet, he could not remain friends with me and turned cold towards me and said we should not speak anymore. Even though he was at fault, he still has a way of making me feel guilt, sad. IS this what a manipulator does? Do they really feel remorse?

I've seen a 100 websites that say the same thing. Visualize that you are so and so, see it in your "mind's eye".....!! I have used this technique of talking to myself and visualization, but always end up feeling anxious in the interview (contrary to what I visualized). Does this really work? Why doesn't it work with me?

Last night I had a dream..weird to say the least but the main charecters were everyone I know is dead...grandmother, father, grandfater, freind...ect.
But to make long story short everyone I know that is still alive was not in it......I woke up gasping for air after a figure with no face stabbed me in the heart......is this a close encounter with death or just a freaky dream.

What carries the stigma? Is it like racism? How is it learned? Is it because of the hush hush attitude?

I have a hard time letting people get close to me, and I tend to become critical - to the point of meaness - when people (significant others) get close to me, which of course drives them away - which I dont want! It seems like a viscious cycle - I dont want to be alone, but the minute I get close to someone BAM! I get compulsively emotionally abusive to them. It makes me hate myself!
Any advice from people who have been there as to how to stop?

My last boyfriend was not only supremely selfish but also a huge LIAR -- how do I ever trust another man again? I've tried to meet new men, but I'm left with the suspicion that the entire male gender are lying users. Is this true? I don't trust a single one of them. If it's just in my brain -- how do I change this new mindset?

I want to paint for fun. I want to draw for fun. But I feel like I have to become this great painter or artist that needs to sell these things and I don't intend on doing these things. I just want to do it for enjoyment but I can't because I expect this perfection out of me and I don't know how to let it go. It hurts so much.

I'm a professor at a college and I am very concerned about one of my students. She writes about her past and how troublesome it was, with friends committing suicide, her boyfriend beating her, and the like. She also writes about how she refuses to see a counselor so to not even try to get her one.

She came to my office hours for help on test preperation, and ended up crying so I held her hand and stroked it gently while encouraging her (I AM A WOMAN) and that made her feel better. Then I hugged her goodbye and she held on to me SO tight.... as if she'd never been hugged before.

The quarter is over in 2 weeks. Should I contact her then, and become a mentor of sorts?
