Serious, how many times a week do you go without the cell, blackberry, iPhone and laptop? I "chitchat" via text, email and IM pretty much all day (whether is be work related to social), I find myself bored and antsy if I don't have someone to communicate with.

I am 31 years and haven't been in a relationship for 3 years. I am successful at my career and I'm well rounded. I am in decent shape. But women don't find me attractive. Most of them seem to view me from a diatance with fear and respect. Heck, I'm not even the "best friend" guy.
What do I do to remedy this?
I'm not religious, so church is out. I don't like volunteering or pets. My interests are mostly academic (philosophy, politics) and sports, and groups that deal with these are mostly dominated by men.

I'm a teetotaler, so I hate to go to bars as well.

Hi there...recently my boyfriend had a car accident, were he hit his head quite serverly.
He has now come round a bit but still cant speak as he still has a trackie in.
The probelm is when i go and visit him he knows who i am and remembers old times, but the next day when i come back and ask him if he remembers me being there yesterday he shakes his head in a no response.
Is this Normal in head trauma patients, or will he always be like this?!
Worried!!

I'm a college student with a part-time job in retail. I like my new supervisor, but she has significantly less cognitive ability than several members of her staff. I would estimate that her IQ is probably in the higher double digits (~85-95) while she has several staff members who are in the 130-160 range (students and professionals who just like working for the store.) However, she doesn't seem to realize the gap and often becomes agitated when I try to explain things to her. I find myself having to slow down and explain things to her at a much simpler level, and even then she doesn't always get it.

How to handle this?

You know those times when a song just goes into your head and stays there for a really really long time and you get annoyed by it sometimes, or at other times you like the song and maybe you get used to it and eventually getting tired of it... But it still plays in your head until another song comes along and you find yourself listening inside your head all over again... The bad part would be if you don't like the song at all.

Why do songs get stuck in our heads? Is there some kind of psychological phenomenon behind this?

My daughter and I were out for a walk in town together. We crossed a zebra crossing on which someone had dropped a carton of eggs. It was a busy crossing and no way could it have been like that for more than a few minutes. I had the strongest of deja vu sensations.which lasted for at least five minutes. I said nothing about it. When we got home my daughter said " It was so strange. When we crosed that zebra crossing. I felt as though it had all happened before " This must disprove all those theories about brain cicuits etc. Comments please.

A group of people I didn't know, including me had to walk up a lot of stairs. They were shallow steps like an opulent hotel. A baby was there with her father and uncle and she wanted to walk by herself but a woman kept picking her up. The babys dad told the woman that she was fine walking but if she wanted to help she could stand behind her and make sure she didn't fall. The woman didn't listen and picked her up again, the child struggled against her and the woman dropped her. The baby fell all the way to the bottom of the stairs and as one the group all went back down the stairs to get her. When we got to the bottom she was upset and screaming but not hurt. Could someone help me with this please, it's driving me insane! Thanks.

I know this guy at work who insists he is right about EVERYTHING. And when he sees someone else's work, he'll go over to them, and as if giving them a compliment, will say something like, "I was checking on your work, and I can tell you that I found it right on target" (with the emphasis on "I" as though now the other person should feel good because this 'genius' determined it was good). When he 'compliments' me on my work, I say 'That's nice, but I don't really care what you think' Am I being mean? This guy won't change and I just feel he needs to be told by someone that not everyone thinks he is 'brilliant' since everyone else is afraid to say so.

Im nineteen and i have everything going for me. Great grades and heading for med school, starting position on our college softball team, and a huge loving, supporting family. and yet i feel as if i have no life. Ive never been in love and i so desperatly want to. I just want to feel somthing... anything, even if it only lasts a moment. I need to do somthing, somthing has to change. Im tired of gong through the motions, i want to live. I dont really expect any answers... i just needed to tell someone. but i guess my question is... what can i do to just, feel alive?

I can't stand this anymore. I hate everyone! I hate them! I hear scream coming out of my house in the streets, and I want to scream at them to SHUT UP! but they probably shot me since they always carry guns! I hate everyone why do I always have to make the wrong mistake. What should I do, I don't want to go to school tomorrow. My therapist is leaving so I might get a new one. We are having our last meeting this tuesday. She has not seen this side of me even though I have been working with her for a year and a half. I have told her I have thought about commiting suicide but I told her that was the past and that I don't think like that no more. NOT I still do and right now more then ever. I feel like crying but I can't I don't have emotions no more. Should I go scream at the gang members outside? They might probably kill me right now and they are just going to do me a favor rather than cause me any harm. but the thing I am scared that they might go after my family. Gosh I hate livinghere

I'm 15 and i've been suspicious that i have depression because i'm constantly distracted, tired, either overeat or starve myself (depends on my "willpower"). but lately i've been having unbelievably extreme anger episodes. when i talk to my parents, i feel like i want to scream and break anything near me. i feel so horrbile because it's like another person has entered me! don't get me wrong, i'm not possessed lol i just mean that it's not like how i usually have been. i can't stand to hear their voices (and they're so wonderful to me :[ ) every little thing makes me angry, which makes me want to cut myself. i'd suspect depression, but it doesn't explain the anger issue. do i have borderline personality disorder?? what's wrong with me??

also, i feel like i lose touch with realize often. it's like nothing is real and there are no consequences. i find myself zoning out a lot. so any ideas?? i just want to get some opinions..thanks everyone in advanced.

Hello. I am a bit concerned, but I want some professional opinion or something on this. I am 17, and I have never been having the kinds of thoughts my 12 year old cousin does. Ok, maybe I did, but I just kinda encouraged myself to live every day to the max. But, recently my cousin has started thinking about how one day she will die, and she is REALLY scared...Should I be taking this seriously or is this a kind of fase that every teenager goes through? Please, answer with no sarcasm, I truly want to help her...
