It seems that whenever someone starts a vicious rumor about another, people will automatically take that person's word as gospel without actually trying to get the maligned person's side of the story. Why is this? Why do people automatically assume that vicious rumors are true? Is it because people like to assume the worst about others?

"Did you get my package, I sent you a bra...because I sent your sister one, I'm sending you one too."

I'm mid 30s with a family so I wondered why it was said so adamently as if I needed the bra and wanted her confirmation that it was sent. Then she says,

"I put your graduation picture up just like I did for your sister"

Meanwhile there are 4 of us siblings all together, so if this was some sort of equality statement, why didn't she comment on sending the others something as well? Anyway, I wouldn't have even known if one got something and I didn't...and further, who cares?

My question is: What just happened here and why did that bother me?

when the weather gets colder. On those days that I end up arriving late, I notice right away after my alarm rings that it's cold and the blankets are warm (btw, not married so I don't have a supportive wife to kick me out of bed) and I'm feeling groggy..then I just let these conditions overrride my body and go back to sleep again.. and of course, I then wake up again and see, to my horror, that I won't be able to catch my train on time.

How can I avoid this in the future? I think this bad habit put me under a bad light, which is partly why I don't have a good number of job references to provide, even though I'm in my mid 30s.

I am looking for opinions from folks from all walks of life. You don't have to be a psychologist, etc to have an opinion about this subject.

The past is a vast crack
That swallowed my mother
And spit me back
I looked over the edge of the crater
And I really missed her
Years later, looking back
I can only hate her
Between the need for nurturing
And the yearning to break free
Is a gigantic fault line
That starts with a tremor
And seismically ceases to let us keep to our beliefs
Take these heavy stones of the past off of me

Behavior modification is slavery

The past is a massive tidal wave
That carried my father out to sea
And came crashing down on me...

As a woman I know that me and other women have a certain code when using public bathrooms, the rules are as follows:

When we go to take a dump in a public restroom we will go into the stall and wait everyone out to do it alone but every now and then there is another person there with the same mission...to wait everyone out to take their dump alone. So, when this happens, when two people are both there for a long amount of time with no activity...we wait just to see who will break the ice first. I am usually the one to do it and as soon as that first plop comes out then the other woman waiting will start plopping and then finally we are done.

Now that we are done with our business we both wait and wait and wait to see who will leave the stall first. It seems as though it is an unspoken rule that we must not see each other. If you are not the one to leave the stall first then you must wait for your fellow "dumper" to be completely done and out of the bathroom, then it is ok to leave

I am taking a university course this fall and today will be my first biology lab. There was a lot of work we were supposed to have done for today and I'm not confident I did it right. I guess what I'm worried about is that I'm not intelligent enough to do well and I'll look like a fool. I'm so tense and worried right now I keep wanting to just drop the course to avoid the situation, but I've already invested 100 dollars and I want to take the course because if I do I can hang out with my friend Troy 2-3 times a week which I never get to do. I just need help calming down right now.

Ok... dream number one.. I'm working in a factory where my job is to take people's heads [already removed from the body], put them in a bag, and stack them all together.. then I have to go somewhere else and cut the spines off the remaining heads in order to have more to fill bags.. and i find my friend's head. The second dream is me being ignored by my friends and my "love interests - past and present" sleeping in a bed with my best friend, and them making me sleep on the floor.. then deserting me later. Another one - my friend castrates himself and SOMEHOW his genitals end up growing out of the back of my head and I'm running around trying to cover it all up with my hair. And finally [the last one] I'm sitting in the grass outside my friend's house, counting a big stack of money, watching a tv (that is outside.. an old school tv) with my friend.. and my past love interest comes up and asks what i'm doing.. then we all get drunk and go swimming in the back yard.. ??????

Do psychopaths have self love/esteem or faith in themselves? And if they do, what do you call one that has become a psychopath and an absurdist and has no faith in humanity based on personal experiences and the way humans go around screwing each other over and doing whatever they want?...to the point where they believe that everything is meaningless? Is their a more precise clinical term for this type of person?
