This is my second question today, because i've been thinking about this so much lately, though it's not healthy :(. Anyway, I know that I've never been very quick to judge someone. If they do or say something awful, then i might, but otherwise, I've always known that ppl are different, so disliking someone simply because they don't match a certain standard is kind of odd in my opinion. I just want to understand this better, because I often blame myself when ppl pick on me. I don't judge them, so why are they being like that?

My other question is: is it possible that a "bad vibe" from someone might just be jealousy or fear of competition with them because you sub-consciously feel that they might be better than you? Maybe an ego-threat?

I appreciate any answers, thanku

I'm 23 and I'm a horn dog, but it seems like no one else I know is. I lost my virginity when I was 17 and have been sex crazy ever since. Some guys I have met are actually turned off by what they call my "freakiness". lol no joke.

Another thing, it seems when a girl is into sex a lot...that she can't be smart as well. I hate this stereotype. I love guys, i love sex, and I love school/learning/working and being independent. Why can't all these things work hand in hand?

Also, where can I meet more attractive/outgoing/fun female friends? My friends are just ...well they are very sweet...but very conservative and plain, and that's probably another reason I always get labeled as the "wild" one.

Is my behavior destructive? Or, am i the way i am, because I grew up without a father? I know i'm paranoid...but...people have reasons for all types of behavior these days! Help! Thanks. :)

i know for a fact that i'm not pretty, but i've had some experiences where a guy on the street just tells me that i'm beautiful. i always have a feeling that they're lying to me, but then i think...why would they lie to someone they don't know? so if someone said that you, would you think that he was hitting on you, paying you a compliment, or lying for the fun of it?

I'm one of those people who thinks everyone's pretty, even if it takes some time to search for it. I haven't really thought of anyone ugly unless he/she was a terrible person.

So many people suffer from depression, anxiety, some people just worry too much, and are afraid of risk.

You only live once...so live it to the fullest.

Remember that next time you're depressed. The mind is a very powerful tool, and can overcome depression and anxiety I truly believe.

Do you think that it should be classified as a disorder or is it simply a different set of personality traits? Is it ethical to treat it? What are your opinions regarding hyperfocus?

Sources or good site recommendations would be a plus :)

Thanks for answering!

I don't know why, but I get angry so easily and then I hold on to grudges for a long time. I mean, the smallest thing sets me off. I don't think I have a temper, I just quietly get angry on the inside. I hate this about myself.

I've always had a "heavy soul" and have had problems letting go. I never know who to turn to when these problems arise, because I don't feel close to anyone- either because they're creating the problem or I just know they wouldn't understand.
This past year, I've been through extreme ups and downs- and an incredibly passionate relationship that I don't know what to make of- and all of these problems build up inside of me. I end up being paranoid about everyone and scared to death about what could happen. However, to the general public, I'm the optimistic girl that's always giggling and having a ball... deep down, I know things are going to be alright, I can't deny the part of me that's scared to death... because I really am. I feel like I'm being oppressed by society.
I want things to change- but how? I know a lot of people, and most are just shallow- the rest I just can't relate to. But I hate being so closed up, because I know that it doesn't help. How can I "hang in there"?

My Grandma always tells me to do my homework, even when I'm about to start on it. When she does, it makes me so mad. For some reason, it ruins my mood and I don't do my homework. What's wrong, and can it be fixed?

I know a kid who's parents went through a divorce and his step dad (the only dad he ever knew from 8 months old) took away his last name (when the boy was 15) claiming it wasn't "a legal adoption" and the boy wasn't acting like a (last name) because he wasn't handling the divorce so well. I believe this man with drew this boys identity the only name he ever knew. Interesting however, this step dad was adopted and this last name isn't even his by blood. I don't get how someone can do this to a child.

I have to no trust anymore for counsellors after she told me to talk to the prof about my problems in her naive believe that he would be compassionate to me. My prof was a jerk. He ended calling the police on me thinking I am must be suicidal bc my parents are ill and I have a lot of drama going on. He didn't bother to tell me it was him until after the refund date. Now, I am too depressed to do his assignments. I hate him. Why would I kill myself if I want to care for my parents? The police came and wanted me to admit to be suicidal and said they would handcuff me if I admitted to it? That is so dumb. Luckily they believe me and left but they still caused emotional stress for my parents, especially my dad who had recently had a heart attack. However, I can't forget this ordeal. The counsellor are stupid for giving me bad advice. I don't think I can trust another counsellor again. I hate the Prof and wish never see him again. I never go to class anymore.

your roommate is crying over a "bad" grade on a test?

The main difference between her and I is that she grew up in a very sheltered life. Now she's in college and doesn't know how to deal with anything. I take courses that I like because I want to learn while she is stressing out over grades, future jobs, hw, and all sorts of things. Honestly, I don't think too kindly of her. She thinks that she has a mind of her own and that she is confident, but she comes off as insecure and ignorant. She's ALWAYS stressed or hyper... I am fairly tolerant of her because I realize that we grew up in different environments. I feel as though I'm 6 years older than her in terms of emotional and mental maturity. However, this is getting a little annoying. She asked me to tell her funny jokes to cheer her up. How am I suppose to tell her anything funny when she's crying and when I'm feeling contemptuous of her (although I try not to). What would you do?

My boyfriend cannot give a compliment, although he loves to get them. When I asked why he can't do this, he replies that he has been told this before. But still, he doesn't give any compliments. I can spend an hour dressing up to go out or spend a day in the kitchen preparing a meal and he neveer says a nice thing, etc. After a while, it almost seems undermining. What is wrong with him? I thought when you love somebody you want to tell them how much you admire and appreciate them. It comes naturally. So, I don't understand him. Does anybody have any thoughts on this? Is it some kind of passive-aggressive behaviour?".
