Does anyone know of a legitimate controlled experiment in which the concept of telepathy has been 'proven?'

I'm standing at the end of a pier, the lateral wood planks aged, the colour of ashes. I'm aware of four or more persons behind me, in single file. [I do not think about whether I know them or not.] About twenty feet below the pier, & as far as I can see on both sides & to the far horizon, the ocean lies; unmoving under the sun & textured as dull grey hammered metal with random threads of viridian. There are no rescue boats, no helicopters. [I'm not aware of the reason there should be, or what is behind us, nor do I have a sense of fear or panic.] I'm mildly surprised; there is nowhere to go from here; whatever expectations we had haven't been met. Someone behind me communicates [not verbally] "We could jump." I comprehend this could be an irrational thought, as from a high bridge where instinct, not thought might urge them. I look at the ocean, perhaps inviting in its vast, endless solidity. I have no wish to jump. For me, there is one choice. Turn back.

And by powerful I mean stronger and more violent? If it is true then I'm not going to see a doctor.

Some people feel guilty when ditching an old 20 year old car for a new one.

Some people feel bad throwing a teddy bear into a rubbish bin.

Some people cry when they lost an earring when they can just get another pair.

Some people are reluctant to throw away something because it's too nice/beautiful despite being totally useless.

Are we humans just being too over emotional and sentimental? It is justified to behave that way? Is it worth it?

I'm not asking you to justify yourself, nor am I asking for an example of a person who does care. I am simply wondering why most of us are so selfish and self-centered, why many of us don't bother with anything to do with anyone else. Why don't we care? And what can we do to make people, ourselves included, care?

i've heard of it only a few times, and not so sure there is something actually like this, but it's where you sit down with a piece of paper and a pencil, and are able to just completely go blank; center yourself, and you just write and draw, not knowing what comes out. i dunno if that makes any sense, and i'm sorry if it don't, but i've been wanting to know if you can tell me what this is called, and where i can learn more (if it exists at all) . i've always had trouble writing, and wanted to know if this could help.

thanks!

So here's the case...
I've always been known to be smart by the people at my school since I always get really high marks for a lot of things. I really hate this reputation nowadays since it's always stopping me from asking anyone for clarification whenever I'm uncertain of the things that are being taught. Like there are times when I get really stuck on a certain question but I never go out of my way to ask people for help since I'm scared that they're going to think that I'm stupid (this actually happened when I was in grade 4) I really wish they didn't know about my past marks since they're expecting a lot from me... or maybe I'm just being too self-conscious. Like I just want to ask people whenever I'm stuck... but I can't... and I really hate myself for that... Like so many of them tell me I'm smart, and say that I know everything... but deep inside I know I don't... So how do I stop myself from worrying so much about how others think of me?

I have an intense hatred of math. I hate it with a passion. I'm good at it, and am considered gifted in it. I understand it extremely easily. But I can't stand it. It stresses me out. I pull my hair out, chew my nails to little nubs, and just stare at the page. Does anyone else feel the same way I do? I mean loathe every part of it?

I was a speech major in college and abhor filler words such as "like", "whatever", "you know," etc. I eat lunch with a group of girls at work who are a little younger than me and talk like valley girls: "Like, oh my god, I TOTALLY cried at the end of The Hills last night and whatever!" Inevitably I end up talking like them, which drives me crazy! Why does this happen and how can I avoid it?

I am trying to analyze my daily behavior & find myself to be quite fickle minded.

How can I be more consistent on a day to day basis with all my decisions & thoughts

So, Mum, Dad, friends and family were really not there, people shopping, work colleages , everything in our minds, every person you ever met were only an experiance, that you were to gain, totally unreal. All your experiances were an event in your mind, nothing is real, no one is real, we create what happens to us, or it is created for us. We are only an imaginary experiance.What if I am not here writing this. What if we are energies experiancing phsycic events.
WHAT IF ? THINK DEEP !

I went to a funeral of my friend. Next to me was this little kid that kept looking at me and then said something about my nose or some part of my face and at that moment i wanted to strangle this kid. Annoyance and Overwhelming rage overtook me. I wasnt event thinking about my dead friend just that little kid. I also had trouble sitting still in my seat and wanted to get up and walk out. Is it a normal reaction to feel that way?
