Do you ever just get random deja vu moments? I'll be sitting in a class and feel like I've already been through it in a dream or something. Or is that weird?

As far as we all know, we all could be just a pile of meat, fat, muscle, and bone. But what is missing? The main frame...aka the brain. The brain makes all of your decision making. whether or not to move this muscle or that muscle, whether or not and or when to breathe. It is the CIA of your body. Without nurishment, can we really make rational decisions? Think of it as a motor vehicle. You chose to wake up and go to work or school, do you take the bus? or do you drive your car? Your car needs gas in order to move. And to get from point A to point B your car needs to work together. Whats a car without the engine?

I get so irritated because my mother is a terrible listener. She asks leading questions where she just assumes the answer ("so, you had a busy day today?" before I even say anything on the phone, for example).

If I say I'm feeling tired and SHE is feeling down she projects it on to me ("so, you're feeling down today?"). NO, I'M JUST TIRED. Or she makes assumptions: "it's because you didn't go to bed early enough last night, right?" NO, MOM, I ACTUALLY WENT TO BED EARLY...I'M JUST TIRED!!

Feeling that the things you say are constantly misunderstood is frustrating. Is there anything I can do to help improve our communication style? I just get so annoyed by having her always ask the question in a way that assumes she knows the answer and then I have to answer, "No, actually..."

Imagine walking through a meadow in a forest with Gordon B Hinckle on a warm sunny day. You notice a bear coming toward you but still a ways away on the edge of the forest. The bear makes a definitive motion with its paw as if signaling you to follow it. The bear turns around, moves a few steps into the forest and then turns back and repeats the motion. You feel a burning in your bosom and long to experience the adventure that awaits you. However, Mr. Hinckle grabs your arm and says, "Wait, I don't think we should go." What do you do?

Would you decide to follow the bear or not?

Explain your reasoning.

My friends INSIST i do.
I mean first of all my dad says I do. I admit around him, I act like a stupid ignorant kid that doesn't respect her parents.
But around my friends, when they speak where i cant hear them i'll be "what?!" and they'll say something and i still can't hear them. Then their just like omg nevermind!!! I just say ok and walk away then they say i get mad easily?!
Hrmmm they also tell me in my face that i have anger issues and I think anyone who gets told they have some issue would get angry. When they say that and i dont talk to them cuz that hurts my feelings cuz i have to hear that at home all the time they think im easily mad AGAIN!

Its just not fair that i have 3 friends saying they hate me because im easily angered. Its really dumb. Should i droppem as a friend?

Okay, so I have this debate, and I have to agree with this statement in the debate:
Intelligence test scores should influence the resources and opportunities of an individual.
I've already come up with these reasons:
There's a kind of intelligence test that tells you where your most intelligence is utilized. Therefore, for example, if the test states that you have musical intelligence, you may want to go into music and should have more opportunities through music.
If you score lower on an IQ test or any kind of test, you should have more resources than someone who scored higher, because the person who scored higher can apply themselves more.
Intelligence tests create order by separating people with less intelligence than more intelligence so that those with less can learn better and those with more can be challenged.
I don't exactly agree with all those things, but do you have any more ideas? Thanks!

I am a teenager living my life day by day...but every day is the same. Life is a blur and I am confused as to where I stand. I am self-conscious about things as simple as my normal facial expressions. I may say "hi" to people or talk with others but they never seem that interested in me. I don`t really know who my friends are anymore. One group I am in but I don`t "fit" in, one group I want to be in but I barely know the kids. I have no fun. I can`t remember the last time I actually laughed with someone my own age. I am not depressed, but "unalive." My visible character is shy, sweet, nice, smart...blah blah blah. The person I really am is dynamic and almost totally opposite. My voice, my smile, the way I walk...none of these things portray my true identity. How can I be a part of the group of laughing girls during Math class? How can I share in the whispering of a secret crush at a slumber party Friday night? How can I become a "real" person, and not a facade?

Like why don't serial killers kill the detectives and cops, and do knowing how killers operate lessens a person's chance to get killed or is it unexpected luck of the draw in alot of cases. You can be walking down the street on your usual routine and someone come up behind you.

i've spent my whole life trying to be a people pleaser (example: i find what makes a friend/family member happy, and i try to be that for them so that they are happy around me). i know i need to learn to make myself happy, i just feel so guilty being happy knowing that the people i love the most aren't happy (my whole family is going through a hard time right now, and there is nothing i can do. i live on the other end of the country). i know in this situation, i am helpless to make them happy. thus, i have been forced to face my codependency issues. it is making me miserable that i can't cheer them up and have a happy conversation with them, and it is affecting my emotional stability. i'm sure my family blows off my problems (i have a lot of financial problems being an out of state student) like they are nothing compared to thier problems, but now i am left with nobody to talk to and help me sort through my problems.

and advice is greatly appreciated :o)

It usto to happen more when i live din this one house but happens very few times now. I thought it possibly was a ghost..spirit. just messing with me.

Well somtimes when I am sleeping I have a very Lucid type dream..well kind of dream. I am awake and in my bed and it feels so real..what happens is I CANT MOVE I am parolized and someone (cant see them) starts to move my arms aorund uncontrollably and then (cant really explain it too well) but I start to have breathing problems and I start to go into some kind of warp stage where im being pulled rapidly...and I can not really breath well at all and it is so horrible that in order for me to wake up I literally have to pop my jaw and shake it over and over again in order to wake up. its the weirdest thing...while all that there is massive pressure in my chest. and sometimes i see scary people. in order for me not to have that expirence over and over again I have to get up walk around have a dirnk of juice and then go back to sleep

It seems to me almost everyone I meet is obsessed with money, and the desire to have more of it. At work, there are people who actually start at 3am and work to 8pm, we are only supposed to do 8 hrs a day, they end up working something like 70 hours a week, they are hungry for money.

I rarely do overtime, off course working in a place that has people who do 70 hours a week you soon get tared with the lazy brush, but its nothing to do with being lazy, I am happy and content with what I have in life,I don't need more money, as long as you have a roof over your head and food what more do you need? People make the wrong association in linking Money=Happiness when it doesn't, people usually say then "Well you must be loaded if money doesn't bother you" I'm far from it, I'm not on min wage but I'm not earing alot more, I've been on benefits and also happy.

Have I got the wrong attitude regarding money? Or should I be hungry for it?

I am asking this because lately I have been so feeling so overwhelmed with depression and my lack of motivation for anything, that I don't even bother going to school anymore, even though I am supposed to graduate this year.
(and from college too)

and my parents keep screaming at me for being a failure and messing up my life and they insist that I get a job at least if I am not going to go to school anymore.
This just adds to my stress.

I know that I want to end this pain and do something with my life but how can I if I can't even get out of my bed in the morning and I don't have any emotional support from anybody..??
I don't have any friends either.


I want to get help but how can I if nobody understands ??
