Okay please don't hassal me for asking this on the internet but Im desperate and need help and answers.
My wife is 6 months pregnant and she was raped. This has happened before on other accounts. I know she needs her time and doesn't want to see men right now. But she won't let me near her unless she can't handle things and wants me to hold her. She's not eating or sleeping and won't tell me who did it. What do I do to help or comfort her? How do I possibly make things any better? Any real advice will be helpful.

Imagine that you are the God of your life i.e you decide how your life would be and imagine an ideal life for yourself. Tell me whatever you thought for yourself and the environment you imagined, your way of life, the people with whom you want to live(neighbours included), the friends, your work(or study), your age, place, etcetra, etcetra. But let that be a bit nearer to possibility.(i.e. super powers' origins should be specified. Ha ha.)
||Good Luck||

...esp. if he's startin with both (few months). My straight male friend whom I started a silent/ unacknowledged/ relationship with (I'm an Indian man). He acted as if he is deeply involved. Then I found out about a girl in his office he was really in love with. He denied it for sometime then indirectly accepted. He gave her preference over me, but said it was bcoz he knows her before he met me and meets her daily for 6 hours. But he still hinted he cares for me and wants to keep me too. We talked about all this indirectly.
Is it such luv possible? His love for me seemed genuine. But he seemed very emotional about his girl. I dont know if it is because of the social value attached to male-female relationships that makes him value her more or the fact that he seldom saw me, but met her daily for hours in close proximity or is he naturally inclined more towards women. Isnt it deception on his part to keep me in dark.And her.
I left him as I cudn't share him. but i still love and miss him

I used to be friends with this person in high school but they would always tell me how ugly I was and pretty much damaged my self esteem. We eventually ended our frienship when she switched schools. Now 10 years later, I came across this person on the computer and saw that they had half naked pics of themselves up. Although I'm attractive, her tearing down my self-esteem 10 years ago came back to haunt me...Now I just found out that this person got shot in the head and is on life support and I don't feel bad at all. I'm actually anxious to find out whether or not they are going to live or die although I wouldn't wish this to happen on anyone. Why do I feel this way? I should feel bad, but I feel anything.

I'm a university student, undergraduate, in Engineering. I find myself turning down social invitations to stay home and study/work on assignments, in conversations (even other engineering students) if the topics at hand are not scholastic in nature, I find that I'm blunt in my responses (not rude, but more responsive than casual.

Example, "So, how'd you spend your weekend; watch us get our a**es kicked?" "No, I was working on that damn thermodynamics lab." .

I know I'm an introverted person (An INTJ, to be more specific, based on the Myers-Briggs testing methods.)

The question is, however, is my behaviour simply a reflection of my personality or am I lacking some sort of social drive to want to talk to people?

I'm good at solving other people's problems and seeing the real issue, but I can't seem to solve my own. I am considering to become a psychologist when I am older and I was wondering if, in your opinion, if this was a good idea.

I have ADD which causes me to have a jumbled compilation of thoughts in my head at all times. This causes me to sound quite ignorant when speaking with others, as I sound nervous and uneducated. I slur at times, constantly mispronounce words (not intentionally), and tend to say "umm" while trying to get my words out. How can I control this so that my speech flows out effortlessly and I don't sound like such an idiot when speaking? Thank you.

I experiance what's called, "Sleep paralysis" often. Look it up, it exists and did not originate in my mind as I have thought it to have some time ago. Now I am experiancing something much different in almost every way. I'll go into a little detail as to have you informed of my "state".

Before, I only fell into Sleep Paralysis when face up on the bed; now it doesn't really matter where and how I go to sleep. But the real difference is the feeling I get. Those who have been through Sleep Paralysis know how terrorfying it can be, no matter the age. What I'm feeling is much different, it' not even scary anymore, it's somewhat exciting and pleasurable.

The second my "thing" starts when I go to sleep, I almost completely lose control of my body and go into a "Trance" kind of state. I feel as if i'm floating, actually - I could swear on my life that I'm floating in mid-air. I could control it a bit now, with a little practice. Let me say this once more, I feel as if I'm levetating.

I love tall, dark haired men but I usually end up flirting with blond guys. Then as things go forward I realize there's no chemistry and that I'm not really attracted to them.

Why do I keep doing this?

I mean raw, primal hatred all the way down in the pit of your stomach, to the point where you'd give ANYTHING to hear them scream in agony.
