I have many hobbies and I excel at many things. I also have a lot of business ideas, but I have no drive in life.

Sometimes I'll sit down and write up a very detailed business idea and I believe very much that it will be successful. Then the next day I totally lose interest in it and go on to something else.

Eventually what happens is I have a dozen ideas and none of them really get implemented. Then I see that somebody else is now using my idea or has started a very similar business/service and I sigh..

I am doing good in college and I spend most of my time reading and thinking, but I don't *do* anything. I seem to lose interest in things at an alarming rate.

I get enough done to survive and do well in school, but nothing extra. I don't know if it's depression but I spend most of my time brooding and thinking and my ideas can be brilliant but I can't seem to get anything done.

In a setting with a lot of people I tend to figid in my seat or tap on the table. What can I do to stop worrying for no reason, even when no one does anything to worry me. How can I relax and just play it cool. Strangely I act diffirent if I'm with only a few people, I be myself. It could be that I'm worried if other people hate me or like me.

We all know of kids and adults who have horrific physical, accidental or emotional issues and try to reslove why them, what have then done wrong?...Is it fate or the unlucky few who have a life of hell and why? Makes you wonder and the answers will escape us until we are in the final moments of life...Think of these words!

You know when your a kid you wanted to be say a Police man, Fireman when you grew up. I didn't

Same as a teen, all the rest of the kids knew what they wanted to do when they left school and they worked towards it and today they got there.

I didn't have an interest in anything, hence why I totally messed up exams, as I had no interest.

Same today I am stuck in a job I have no interest in, infact i've had about 10 jobs since I left school 10 years ago, I've had no interest in any of them.

I've no dreams or asperations, I'm just here.

Anyone any advice?

This is the opinion that my neighbor has of computer games in general. he has purposely disconnected the internet service to his home and has told his kids that they can only play Xbox for 1 hour each day on the weekends. It seems like there was a rash of internet porn related busts in the community, and all the accussed were loners, jobless, and still living at home. He's afraid that his kids might become this way, hence his actions.
Is he being too harsh. What do you think?

An unfortunate journey
Through a bleak sea of loneliness
I carve through the waves of grief
In a black vastness of self doubt

I have never felt so alone
So pitiful and wretched and low
I'm tried by a terrible wind
The misery and the pain blow

The clouds of grey come overhead
A storm will hunt me down
And rip the guts out of my body
That I would surely drown

Thrashing out at torment and pain
The maddened sea engulfs me
I let myself be swallowed up
The magnificent weight upon me

Deeper I go, deeper down
Didn't think it could get any blacker
The cold bites, the pressure builds
I think I no longer matter

When lovers die and friendships fade
When kin all lie forgotten
The gates of agony spew forth
Your memories, sinking and rotten

So deep now I feel so numb
I'm ravaged by utter loss
The guilt, the grief, the astounding pain
My body, they all will wash

I hope I never return to life
Oh, Christ just let me go

about 5 years ago i went to a psychic - as i was less sceptical at the time - he was recommeded by a relative.
in the course of this consultation he managed to quite easily bring up the name of someone i knew and had been thinking about recently.
it was quite a rare name too, not like john or dave etc. i hadnt mentioned the name earlier even for weeks, months.
is there a way to achieve this with trickery/magic or even hypnosis.
although i dont think i was hypnotised at any point as the session wasnt v long and there would not have been time.

Long story cuting it short, but I have a dilema in which could be bad either way or possibly ok either way. I really can't decide what to do about it but have to make a decision really soon. Should I let the flick of a coin decide my destiny?

and that is all. I could never fall in love with a woman on the sort of level that I associate with men. Chemically, physically, mentally, I love men. Yet visually I do find some women very attractive and find myself thinking hmm . . how I wouldn't mind conducting a good make out session w/ that lady. Maybe just once in my life, to see what it's like. Afterall, women do know what turn on women. Okay. So I'm just curious as to what you think. I mean I'm not a lesbian, nor bisexual. Bisexuality I define as people who love both sexes in the same sense. As I said, I cannot fall in love with a woman, but I do find them . . well, hot. Ha. So, what does that make me, in your opinion? Just someone very sexual or uhh visually stimulated or WHATTTT? Thank you.

I constantly beat myself up about past decisions of mine. I don't know how to stop doing it.

My ex-husband moved due to job reasons and he has sole custody of our 14 year old daughter. He left the child in the state where they live. His mother lives a few miles away and is helping to take care of her.

I went to try and help take care of her. I stayed in my ex-husband's house. Things did not work out so I came back. I live in another state.

Now, I feel sad when I see that my child is not doing well. I was able to help her a little with her studies. But I could not influence her much.

I regret my decision to leave and come back to the state where I live. She wanted me to stay for the entire semester which was about 3 1/2 months more. I should have sacrificed my life for her.

My ex-husband also said he was looking forward to meeting me.He was coming home over the weekend.

After realizing this nice guy vs jerk contoversy... I always wonder if it was an age issue.. Like girls usually tend to want to have fun at the begginning so they go for the "bad" guy for the challenge and fun. Then they get tired of it and settle for the "nice" guy...

I dont want to come sounding like I am trying to generalize.. Ofcourse there might be some exceptions... but I want to see if this idea is true or not by all the answers as a whole...

Now I would like to know your age and if your currently with a "nice" guy or "bad" boy.. and your thoughts about this issue. Thanks =]

Please you should explain me , if possible, this kind of "mobbing" of something similar behavior. I notice that some collegue of mine , but also outside the work place, cough at me, or sniff, or do the two things at the same time in strictly sequence. I thought that it was a coincidence but now I realize that they do it purposely. It disturb me because it make me think that they are organized in a sort of secret society with the aim of offending me or persecuting or in some way controlling. I would like if you could explain me this kind of behavior that happens ..

I just found out some disturbing things about one of my closest friends. I just discovered he's leading a double life and having sex three, four, and five times a week with guys in public places. He maintains an image of being a total ethical and nearly non-sexual person. I only discovered all this by pure accident. At first I was extremly angry but now I'm just sad and worried. I don't know if there is anything I can do to help him. He doesn't have a clue I know. I really need some advice if anyone can help. Thanks

Basically, a friend of mine found out she was pregnant(she is going through a slow miscarrage at the moment though.) She said on the night she found out she was pregnant, she had a dream. In this dream, she dreamt that I was the father and that "everybody was happy." Then she found out that I had got another girl pregnant as well, and she woke up.

For a little background info we used to be really into one another, but we were never acutally in a relationship because she was scared at the time. We had..I guess a heart connection.

She has a "dream book" which said she still had feelings for me but wasn't aware/denying them to herself. Any other takes on this one? And what is the significance of the other girl/second pregnancy? Any thoughts?

I can barely leave my home on the weekends and am always worried about what people think about me. I usually just go out at night and avoid most crowds unless I have had a few drinks. I have lived with this for 20 plus years and went to Drs and they just want to fill me up with drugs so I stopped that......Most people (including my family) don't know what I am going through and play it off as nonsense. Well, this is REAL and it makes my life a living hell. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The funny and weird thing is, I am a very successful salesman.

Laws of God. The laws set by politics. The laws of nature. The laws of magick. The laws of morality, inside our own minds.

What is your opinion of all these?
