People always say this person has a "good" personality and this person has a "bad" personality. What do they really mean by that? Is there any ways in which I can develop a good personality and yet not be looked down on or teased by other people. I feel like I'm going in the wrong direction from the quiet, shy, and educated me to something I'm not. It makes me feel like a fool and gets me into so much trouble. Do you guys have any suggestions?

What is the difference between character and personality?

I'm not asking if someone could have more addictive tendencies, or even things such as depression that could run in the family. I'm asking along the lines of more of a personality trait, such as coldness, a cheery outlook, a "wild child" when the adoptive parents are reserved, things like that. Is it the environment that shapes things like that, or could it be that genetics shape a personality?

Is it strange to suddenly want to run around in the nude and not care who see's??

Is it just the nature of the world to compound several crises into one day/week, or is it just that the stress of the first problem makes everything that comes after it seem way more important and stressful than it really is?

What do you think?

What are your views on abortion? Why do you feel this way?
P.s. Look at my answers to previous questions on this issue (especially the "What's going on tonight" question) and you'll see where I stand with this. I think it's interesting how strongly people feel about this issue, and how closed minded people seem to me about others' opinions (bc they feel so strongly).
What do you think (either way)? I don't pass judgement.

Characteristics are: this individual makes another person the focal point of all their hatred? (goes beyond scapegoating). The individual displays narcissitic and egocentrical characteristics, that are borderline delusional, and psychotic; (as in a grandiose).
They are consumed with an abnormal and irrational hatred for another individual that goes beyond a mere dislike for that person, (as in 'enemy') escalating into an imagined irrational personal vendetta such that they are so obssesd with another individual they begin to display 'psychoic behaviours' in so far as stalking that person, (on the job, at their home and in general, in various ways) and do whatever they can to cause and bring destruction and evil into that individual's life. Such as, destroying their reputation with as many people as possible by making up lies about them, and literally stalking that individual (enlisting others to find out 'everything' about that person's life, where they are, what theyre doing etc.)

“A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them. They then dwell in the house next door, and at any moment a flame may dart out and set fire to his own house. Whenever we give up, leave behind, and forget too much, there is always the danger that the things we have neglected will return with the added force.”

Carl Jung

What do you understand by this?

ok well, i come from a very religious family. it's hard to talk to them about certain things. i can't talk to my mom about it because...well she's my mom. my sister lives in another country and it's hard to get in contact with her most of the time. and i can't tell my sister in laws anything because it goes directly to my older brothers whom, might i add are EXTREMELY overprotective of me. my obsession....BOYS. i've read duas and hadiths, verses from the quran, and also tried to seek help from my friends but nothing seems to be working. what do i do? it's the same thing everytime but just with a different guy...it starts with a physical attraction which grows into a crush that slowly develops into an obsession. and i can go DAYS...MONTHS...just thinking about him and i feel trapped in my thoughts of him most of the time. what do i do?

Can it really be done successfully?
Do the tasks if done frequently enough together be treated as one (how much so?).
Could you explain precognitive planning?
Personal accounts are also welcome.

When your inspired the questions asked on Y!A are deep and meaningful giving you great opportunities to share, but when you’re overly grounded and drab the questions are dark and of no inspirational value?

I thought I was just having my perceptions shaded by my mood but after going back and reading the questions and comparing them to my little mood chart I set up for this experiment I find correlation between relevance and inspiration. I’ll try a more aggressive experiment sometime next week. This one wasn’t controlled enough for me to claim it to be anything more than a statistical anomaly but it has more correlation than I’d expect.

We both did things to ruin our marraige..me more than him.. He left a year and a half ago and I have been obsessed withe the idea of he will come back. The strange things is we get along, he comes over frequently to visit with the kids, he says, but when i try to stay away from them he calls me into the living room or outside whereever he is he calls me to him. Or when he takes the kids out who are 10 and 11 and are good and doesnt need my help with them has me go too. He tells me he is not coming back and that he does not love me in that way but his actions and some things he says tells me different. There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't come over or call. And if I don't call him he calls me.I am feeling alone and sad. I just want to be with him and he obviously wants to be around me. Why can't he just come home and how do I get over this and move on cus I cant live like this anymore but i cant seem to move on and he hasn't even filed 4 div.

Earlier I was feeling really awful, crying my eyes out for no real reason, couldn't get up to do anything, but after Y!answers & a magazine/nap, I was awakened by the therapist I called earlier but at this point I had forgotten about what happened and she unintentionally reminded me, although I'm trying to convince myself if I can be strong the first time then I shouldn't let it bother me anymore. I'm really annoyed actually I was awakened by my nap to have someone ask me what was wrong but I know she was just trying to help, and I'm sure she called back because I probably sounded so terrible in the message earlier. the depression is on and off it seems, after some people interaction i can usually go on. ive wanted to see a therapist for some time now but I think this will just make things worse after i've *seemed* to bring myself up? what do you guys think? sorry if this is confusing.

and pls no mean or unnecessary answrs, i would just prefer some supportive guidance. thanks guys :)

I am in my early 30's, have no partner nor kids. I had several relationships but there was no chance for further commitments. I live in a foreign country and my family is far, but I've never really been close to them. Have a good job.I am a bit materialistic- that's how I was broght up- to fight for everything. My childhood was not the happiest, I am the youngest of 4 children. I spend most of my weekends alone, doing shopping to keep me happy and occupied my mind. And YES- it hurts to be alone! I am a bit afraid of commitments but would love to meet my soul-mate. I used to have days when I did nothing all day- I was like in "coma", nothing interested me. How can I be more involved, loneliness really hurts. I have got some friends but you know how it is with them. I have nothing to hold on to. Any advice. Thank you.

I am always "talking" to myself inside my head, never out loud though.

I ask myself things, think about them, answer them... have an inner dialogue. Not things like, "Hey how are you today?" "Im fine", but things like... "So if I decide to go to the gym today, will I make it back intime for dinner?" etc...

Do you do it too?

Additional facts: I am more of a solitary person, not many friends and I don't talk much to other people... =P But I'm not crazy ^^
