sometimes, when i get deep into thoughts, ill blurt out a sentence im thinking about. for example, if i am thinking deeply about dogs, i may say "i like dogs" aloud. also, when im in deep concentration, like when working on math problems, ill talk out loud (more like a mumble i am told). is this normal? if not, how do i stop? also, i sometimes, like when im walking or in a car, go off on fantastic adventures in my mind (which is normal, i think) but it takes me a minute to snap out of it sometimes. i find that odd. is that unusual? it is occuring less, though, but that is because im riding my bike instead of walking, i think. How do i stop that?

I am good friends with a seventeen-year-old who thinks he is emotionless. I am not sure if he is or not. He could very well be. He is strongly based on logic and very intelligent, so it could be that he simply shuts it out, but he says he has never felt happiness or sadness or anger or anything of the like.

He can read and fake emotions better than anyone I know, and he says that it has become automatic to appear any way he thinks he should in that situation. He refuses help from therapists when I reccomended him to see one, however, he is willing to allow me to help him, and only me.

I know that I have to help him for two reasons: one, I am in love with him and I want to see him happy. Two, I am the only living person that knows.

Does anyone have any tips for me? I am desperate for anything that could help--websites, books, tips, stories, people I can contact. I need to help him, I just don't know how, and I am afraid that it will eventually turn life-or-death.

Help!

I am having a difficult time coping with a break up that happened over a year ago. This guy really hurt me when we he ended our relationship. He was cold, mean, and hurtful to me, and I had not done anything to him. We were together for 2 yrs, but developed feelings for some girl who he had a child with before we met...she was a one night stand. I helped him through so much and he ended up leaving me to be with her. But what was worst was he turned on me and acted like I never meant much to him. I helped him with his depression and his suicide threats. And in the end he treated me like I was nothing. Its been a while and I tried to forgive him and remain friends, he now tells me he was confused and he wishes he never went back to that situation, and all he did was uncalled for. He never asked me to get back with him, but as much as I want to be his friend, I can't. I still can't let go of what he did. He really can't talk to me much, and I dont know if he is ashamed.

I will be taking my LSAT (Law School Admission Test) on Sept.29th, and it is taking over my life it seems like. I have been having these excruciating headaches, stomaches, and a backache, not to mention extreme dizziness. At times, i forget whether i locked the front door or not, amongst other things. I am way too anxious about the test to be practicing like i had before it was nearing. I am just helpless. Do you have any advice or suggestions on what i can do??? Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

i read that the human brain stores absolutely every experience, its just that they get shut away into the subconscious and you can tap into them again and potentially recall everything

My brother calls them “Male by Proxy”.

You know the type. I have noted the following:

1. She calls most every other woman a “female dog”.
2. She has a lot of male friends that she gets E-mail, and instant messages from.
3. It is unclear if these male friends have, or at one time had “privileges” or not.
4. Her phone is forever busy, and if she tries to call her male significant other, he had better no be talking to someone else.
5. She has a LOT of trouble being in the presence of other women.
6. Her boyfriend can’t have any female friends, or female lab partner in school.
7. She drives very aggressively.

Guys, don't you find these types very hard to date?

I would love to wake up in the straw bed I shared with my two sisters.Pushing and romping as we rolled into the middle as straw used to bank each side.A bowl of porridge with treacle as sugar was scarce.We would then do our jobs,feed the rabbits and off we would go for the rest of the day.Down to the river, onto the areodrome and "fly "in the wrecked cockpits.PIck the rosehips which w e would paint silver the next day and tread into a necklace and bracelet wearing till they shrivelled and withered.As we passed houses one lady would give me the dolls hat she had knitted as she had seen me cry that my doll had a crack in her head another would offer something baked hot out of the oven. We would go home tired and happy with anything that there was for tea.After a hardy "strip wash "in the kitchen sink. A hundred brushes to our long hair we could all sit on a few nonsense songs around the piano It was kneel for Gentle Jesus and back into our straw bed. Rose coloured glassesd hear you cry

Ive recently started to get over someone and I just push out old feelings I used to feel for them and try to ignore it and I would feel numb for a while. Then I would get these sudden highs where I feel so happy and excited, and I tell myself Im happier without this person, I go to sleep feeling that way. But then when I wake up, I feel so empty and sad, even when I felt so happy the night before, its like it all went away and I just want to sit and cry. Its happened all week and I hate it >_< Why does that happen?

and sorry I dont know what category this goes in.
