I love anger.

There is just one thing I don't understand. Why people are mean.

It's so much easier to be nice. Why would anyone want to go out of their way to be nasty and to make someones life hell? Espcially when that person has never done anything to that person.


I recently got a new job. (With a girl i've known since primary school). She is the nastiest person I know, she will go way out of her way, use up her own time to make someone feel like ****.

For example she rung up my best friend and said she was going to break into her sleep out and stab her to death.



Does this girl actually 'get off' on being a complete b*tch? I don't get it... Does she feel better about herself?

Please explain...

Is sarcasm a tool against vulnerability?

This is going to sound a little strange, and it's kind of hard to explain. You know how some things you just do on instinct and thinking about them makes you confused? Well, I overthink so many things..Like, if I'm really good at something I think "how am I doing this?" and then I don't know how to do it as well as before. Or if I think something is funny, i think "why is it funny" and then I stop laughing. It happens to me way more than i think it should. Has anyone else experienced this or know about it?

My bro. told me that it feels good b/c it gives us a sense of accomplishment; legacy. But I saw an old video I havn't seen in a long time and it made my access a part of its mind which I don't experience very often.

Do you think "hot" people are often disappointed later in life because they've often relied on their looks instead of personality?

are you slow?people always ask me that,and how I talk wierd. I think of things different and the common people misunderstand me. I am left handed that might have something to do with it. So they misunderstand what I intend to say, that makes them just as slow as me right? Does it make my brain functioning any slower than anyone elses if I just look at things in a different way?

Fear as a weapon to ensure obedience

what do you think of this topic?
Can anyone give me some examples?

.......we all have heard "be yourself" but a very successful and rich man told me once "do not be yourself, BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE" he gave an example "when your sad, do not be sad, be happy, thats what you really want and eventually happy you will be" so "be yourself" or "be who you want to be"

I'm always trying to help others in feeling better if they feel down or feel stressed etc. but when I feel like this I can't help but to feel sorry for myself. I try talking to my mom or my friends, but they don't really help me feel better.

It really puts me to shame about myself when I see the majority of people I know in relationships, having babies, getting married, moving, travelling, and pretty much bettering themselves. (don't get me wrong...I admire them for it)
I'm 25 yrs old and I still feel like such a little kid.

I have been single for 2 years now, and I feel like I'm not gonna find a man who will make me happy. My attitude right now is "there's nothing I can offer a man so why should I want a boyfriend, if I can't even be happy with myself"

I'm trying to keep myself busy: listen to music, trying to learn how to play acoustic guitar (and so far, I have learned a tad) and I'm trying to meditate, but I still can't overcome this sadness I feel inside.

I had some chances to sleep with a guy in upper management, I think (there was heavy flirting & strong/suggestive innuendos-he directly stared longing at my breasts when no one was looking in such a way that can only mean he wanted it right there and then), but I was too scared and couldn't go through with it, even though I wanted to!

He's not very hot at all, but I was/am incredibly attracted to him. Still, I hestitated because I'm a virgin and scared. (Plus, he has a girlfriend). I don't think he'd expect me to be a virgin because I flirted with him too (& I'm over 30 yrs old)

Now, I think he got mad at me (like I strung him along) & isn't doing any "favors" for me, like giving me a letter of rec for grad school (I asked and he declined, politely.) (I had left the job we worked at). I want to reach out to him again and say "I'm sorry, can I make it up to you", yet I feel like a jerk & think he'd not believe me or ever give me a chance for him.

I still like him. What do I do

I try hard to make people comfortable and happy. I'm the 1st to admit that I might try to hard. I'm always encouraging and telling how important they really are to the world. When they are down I try to pick up the pieces and make their lives easier. I'm ALWAYS the shoulder to cry on, and yet its like they don't need me any more after they feel better. Just pushed aside like an old trusty pair of running shoes. I don't understand Maybe someone could help me too.

Let's look at the price you have to paid for your stamp of approveal. As the result of doubting yourself you have gone along with the crowd, laughing with them, dressing like them, and finally, sinning with them.
And the more you have gone along with the crowd, the more you have had to wrestle with the anxiety that is the constant companion of guilt; but instead of seeing yur anxiety and guilt as the result of having sold out to your friends, you feel it as a fear of losing the friends that you need so desperately.
And as you become prouder and guiltier, you have required your friends to be more corrupt for relief from guilt as you dig a little deeper for each new set of low-life liars to support you/

Common on now, let hear from you - tell us your sorry stories and miseries that perchance we can be shaken out of these stupor !

Example: why do people beat up their kids?

2007-06-06 12:21:49 · 12 answers · asked by Anonymous

I'm fifteen years old, and already I've had to talk nine different people (including my own mother -multiple times) out of committing suicide.
People I barely even know seem to come to me when they have a problem. And because I've always wanted to help people, and because they're in fragile situations, I haven't ever refused someone.

But it's taking a toll on me -physically and mentally. I'm tired. I have my own problems. My therapist has told me that it's standing in the way of my own well-being.

But I can't just say, "Sorry, can't help" when I've told them that I'll always listen.

None of them ever accept proffessional help, so I can't refer them to a counselor.

How can I get myself out of these situations?
Please, I'll take any advice you have.
