I have always been attracted to girls personalities. I only really like guys for looks, and i am sexually attracted to them. I could get turned on by seeing a guy nude, but not a girl. Only i am falling head over heels for my best friend who is also a girl like me. Its been this way for two years. I know its more than friendship but shes had plenty of boyfriends. She hasnt dated in a while because most of the guys were jerks but sometimes i think she might be bi too. She told me she has a secret that would make me and my friends think differently of her. I asked if it was something she did and she said no, it wasnt like that. She said it was something that would make us look at her in disgust. She said she really wanted to say what it was but it was best if she didnt because it would make situations with her and me and my friends awkward after that. What do you think the secret is and what should i do about all this? She said she'd say it when the time is right but i think thats never

I am pretty tough with people calling me names and things, but I can't help but cry if someone raises their voice at me or if there is a group of people around me that are being roudy and loud. Plz and thank you 4 every thing.

Sometimes I find myself anticipating too much on things. Like for example, I really want to hang out with this amazing guy this weekend or something, and I feel like I put too much pressure on myself to make it happen. I want to just sit back, relax, and let time come and do it's thing, and what happens, happens. But I feel like I'm wasting time and I just want what I want, if that makes sense. It's like I work too hard to make things happen. How can I put more faith in myself to just trust that all these good things will happen, and to stop anticipating and being anxious for the future????? Anyone else have this problem?
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm really tired of being shy. all the girls who say they think shyness is cute only think that when it's a guy with an innocent boylike apppearance. i don't have that so i am probably just seen as boring, dull, and lacking in confidence. it really isn't fair.

is there a way to stop being shy? i've heard somewhere that some people are just naturally shy. is that true? is it possible that i am just naturally like this and can't change?

Why is it that a person who has good attributes (good-looking, smart, funny, etc.) is confident and acknowledges that they have those good attributes is almost always considered conceited? Would it be better if they walked around with their head down and be ashamed of what they have?

Whats the difference? I myself am quiet until I get to know you. I hate social situation I feel uncomfortable, surly that doesn't mean I have social anxiety? I just don't like social situations, being brought up an only child I am more used to my own company and find it more comfortable, Its the same with Generalised Anxiety Disorder, am I avoiding a situation because I feel anxious or do I just not want to go, Where do you draw the line?

They say if you have to drink alcohol in social situations to feel comfortable you may have social anxiety, I mean everyone I know drinks in social situation to feel comfortable.

I'm confussed, define what social anxiety is and what Shyness is? My Psychologist put this into my head today, I am attending her for Generalised Anxiety Disorder.

I have been so stressed out for the past few months and I think I am depressed or something. I have really bad mood swing and it is affecting my work and relationship. I have a 4 month old and after a month of breast feeding I stopped and started birth control. LAst month, I stopped taking the pills in the middle to help regulate my period, so now it seems to be late. I hardly ever have sex and when we do it is protected. I think the stress is going wild. I keep getting sick and have severe mood swings. I lost a little weight, not a lot. I cry everyday. Life is just so hard. I don't know how to take this anymore and I get these feelings that I want to hurt myself severely. I have tried to deal with this stress. I have taken walks to cool down, I have written my feelings down, I have tried to relax and breath and count...nothing is working and I am going insane. I need some advice. What can I do to really chill out? I need smart answers cause I am really messed up and losing it. PLease

There's this guy I hang around with sometimes through mutual friends. He's my best friend's neighbour, and I've known him for about three years. Anyway, one of the most attractive things about me (so I'm told) is my sense of humour, and in the past, when I've said something funny, he and his friends would all laugh along. But recently - for about the past two weeks - he hasn't laughed. All his friends would, but the best he can manage is a weak smile. But if anyone else says something funny, he will laugh. It's just with me that he acts so serious all the time.

I don't think anything has changed between us in the recent past, so why has his attitude towards me changed so much?

We are always talking about ourselves. If we ask someone “who are you” ? mostly a name will be pronounced that “I am so and so” or the details about themselves. We always says “I have 2 hands” or “today I have done this or that “ or “it hurt me” etc. etc. symbolically or otherwise who is this “I” or “me” ?

i generally dont like letting people know what im going through. i see it almost as a weakness. i feel that why would you want to hang out with someone when all they do is talk about their problems. i dont know if it is right to talk about your problems or not. I have a hard time trusting people sometimes too and i dont want the whole world to know about my problems i mean everything about me i like to keep personal. i mean i almost feel like someone would use what i say against me.

Okay, so I had this dream last night where my ex boyfriend had become a best selling author and he wanted to see me. At first I was really hesitent. I didn't want to see him, and I definately didn't want him to see me. After hiding from him for awhile he found me and we reconciled things and made nice I guess you could say. We both agreed that we could have been better towards eachother and that we never should have moved in together (which we did in real life). He told me that he and his wife were going through a divorce and that his son was in his custody. that's all I remember, some background info on this particular ex: it was a really really bad relationship that ended a little over four years ago. This relationship tore apart my family and secluded me from my friends. Needless to say it was a really horrible break up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Having had many psychic experiences I am interested in what science has to say. I have watched numerous documentaries where well qualified psychologists tested subjects for psychic ability but in their tests never mentioned something I learned when studying psychology. That is, that consciousness is a construct that involves the brain selecting and editing out information. In a society that condems people who claim pschic ability isn't it likely that their brains would edit out such information before it was included in consciousness in order to comply with the prime directive of fitting in with social norms.? This is never considered by parapschologists trying to disprove the existance of psychic ability.
