[I'm 18yrs old] I've been trying to resolve my shyness for quiet a while now, and still looks like im the hole, today I have come to the conclusion that one of the strongest points of my shyness is my low self-steem, i dont talk/talk low because im scared of someone making fun of my adcent , i always take a look at my clothes to check for any stain, i dont talk to very social friends because i feel kinda inferior than them, when i hear someone laugh when i pass by them i think they are laughing at me, and i always avoid participation in something. These are the main thing i see, but i know there are more, Evryday i try to look confident by walking straight, chin up, and barely look down, but inside im still the low-self steem self, Im trying to beat this but i dont have support, [ithink] i need someone to push me, someone that check my progress, My goal is to beat it because im really scared of this affecting my future.

My English teacher spoke of a condition in class that sounded like "McCollum's syndrome" or something similar. It's when a person is kidnapped and at first hates their captors and their cause, but after a while becomes sympathetic to their cause after spending so much time in captivity with them. Please help, I want to mention this condition in my paper for tomorrow and look smart :) Thanks

I dont try to act aggressive, or be loud, i try not to be an A**h*le, I dont think that I have to be the best at everything, And i am happy w/ my height at 5'2".

Some people tell me I have Napoleon Complex b/c I like taller women, I try to force myself to be attracted to women shorter than me, but i never find them attractive. I dont care how we look together, i mean somebody has to be taller, if my woman was taller i would let her wear high-heels if she wanted.

this are the questions: why do you think of someone who doesn't think of you? why do you care for someone who doesn't care for you? why do you love someone who doesn't love you?

i noticed this strange look with two guys already. hard to describe it; it was not warm and pleasant (it actually felt a little bit "evil") but rather deep and curious but not in a loving/romantic way. anyways, i liked them both but i guess they just didn't feel the same, right, :) basically, i'd like to know what they felt at that time if anything cause it was interesting. ps) by the way i'm a girl and they're not homosexual. thanx

IT seems people don't take their words very seriously these days. They continually make excuses for why they didn't call or show up or write or whatever. We have every means of communication now, yet people seem to have more difficulty communicating. Why?

I hate everything. I have this feeling all the time, I guess I'm just good at hiding my feelings, but when things come up I realize how unhappy I am. The only thing that makes me happy is my friends and realizing how much they care about me. The number one thing that always makes me depressed and reminds me of how sad I am within is my family. I don't talk to them about anything, because theres really no trust between us. I always get these suicidal thoughts too. I just don't know what to do anymore. And I'm not very open about my emotions, so no I won't talk to anyone about this. Can you help cheer me up?

A lot of people get aggressive when I say something about their stereotyping ideas. I don't like stereotpying and I correct those who do but they never admit and say that I overreact and THEN explain things to me which I don't need to know. Why is it that they are trying to convince me when they clearly generalized thereby stereotpying the problem from the start? I don't understand why people need to defend themselves like that. They clearly did not explain the issue before and then says that I misinterpret things which there was nothing much said about before. Why do people mistaken me all the time? I was just trying to say that they should not generalize things because it's not always true.

even when i receive a compliment, im always in my head " oh they didn't mean that, they were just being nice"..but when i hear someone say something mean about me, i accept it as truth, i hate this way of thinking, and when someone does say something mean i have trouble getting over it, and i keep thinking about it over and over again..

Anything that you've never told anyone else.. Anything that you're trying to hide.. Anything that you're ashamed of.

When I sit down I am constantly, and unconsciously, bouncing one or more of my legs up and down on my toes. When I try to stop, all I can think about is the tension in my legs and how I am trying to not move my legs anymore. I do this even when I am alone but this makes me look insecure in social situations and it's pissing me off quite frankly. Has anyone experienced this and have a solution? I am 5" 6 and 160 lbs if that's important. Thanks

I find it strange that those of us who have enjoyed financial success always attribute it to hard work, perserverance, and our own personal dedication that caused our good fortune.
Yet, if we experience any kind of financial failure, loss or setback, we generally attribute it to "bad luck".
Still, when we see others who are 'down on their luck' (i.e., financial losers, alcoholics, drug abusers, street bums, homeless, poor, sick, or hungry) we generally attribute their circumstances to their lack of ambition, dedication, or any kind of work ethic.
Then when one of those 'losers' lands a good job, comes in to some money, or becomes 'successful', most of us will say, "Hell, he just got lucky!"
Isn't it strange how we view our circumstances - and how we see others' circumstances as different than our own?
Why are we so afraid to admit that while we were working hard, perservering, and dedicating ourselves to the task at hand, that 'luck' might have also played a part in our 'success'?

posting personal information, opinions, and diatribes about yourself online, in a completely public forum....

would you want your mother to read every question/answer on Y! you've ever posted? your boss? you kids?

its been said before "never put in writing what you wouldn't want a judge to read"

isn't there some nefarious purposes that info about you could be used for?
