Some people believe yes & others believe no. Some people believe that loneliness turns people insane & others believe that you function better alone. I have social issues with people because they think I'm out of the "norm" for society. It's not my fault I'm this way. I wasn't raised correctly & I'm an adult who has to make up for my childhood & people don't understand why I'm the way I am. Now no one wants to be around me, I can't function around people, & I can't get jobs. Am I DESTINED to be alone for the rest of my life?

Well I had to move out of my house because the foundation on my house was going to cave in on its self. And I have have insomnia and I haven't good because we have been in a hotel.

Then to top it all off after working all week and stressing over school I decided to stay at Matt's apartment someone I had been dating for a while and then were off and on again because of drinking issues and jealousy problems decides to kick me out after I get drunk dialed by my other ex Matt Williams. So there for I am a whore and had to kicked out because someone go too ******* drunk.And someone else can't trust anyone at all. So yeah....

I know half these problems I brought on myself but at the same time I feel like there is something bigger than me trying to **** me over.

I am not a bad person no matter how many people have tried to tell me in the last six months have.

It seems not to be a lack of intelligence, humans are very clever to defend their established 'personality', they are very clever to manipulate others and they are extremely clever using all their intellect to create the most sophisticated concepts on al levels. But then they are so stupid, that they destroy themselves and every thing around. They are not capable to use the possibilities to help themselves to get out of their stupidity. Humans are so stupid that they close themselves up and stay with their habits and attitudes, even though they are not happy, getting sick and desperate and punishing themselves for being so stupid by destroying themselves and the place they are living and all the other alife beings. They make laws against crime but also laws to protect their stupidity. How is it possible to be so stupid? There seems no way out. The dog is chasing his own tail and is to occupied and satisfied with it, that he can't and don’t want to find out that he is stupid!

I believe that men and women have the same reactions to their brain. Some people think differently.They say male have the left side of their brain only and only that part is usually functionally. The left side of their brain only allows them to analytically but female can use both the left and right side of their brains. So they can think analytically and emotionally. Is their any scientific proof for this?

I personally believe that men and female think and react different because of society. Society expects men and women to act so differently. The two gender, in most cultures, differ in almost everything. Expectations on men not showing emotional feeling have caused men to appear as not being able to think emotionally.And that showing emotional feelings are feminine.

So what do you think... or know? is it society or nature?

Many people simply don't know and others type phonetically, but it seems a dispropotionate number of words are showing up in correspondence with "a" for "e" or "i" for "a", etc.
Do you have to correct a lot of such typos you never had to before? When did the problem start? What do you think is the cause?

When you answer somebody's question, and then twenty or so minutes later you look and see that somebody basically copied your whole answer and used it to answer that same person's question?

I started to deviate from the path of normal life sometime during second or third grade. I began to embrace video gaming, computers, and most other aspects of the digital lifestyle much more then the other children. I started to get terrible grades and so all the adults in my life (except my mother) just assumed I was a moron. The teachers thought that I should no longer go to their school anymore because I was not under their definition of intelligent (I went to a G.A.T.E. school at the time). They gave me a test to see where I stood on the “Smart Scale”, as it turned out I ended up having the same overall brainpower as the average middle school student, and the reading comprehension of a sophomore. From that point on I was watched closely all throughout my life during elementary school and got different treatment then the rest of my peers. I was allowed (encouraged actually) to interact with the other students during lunch and recess without the staff hovering over me, although even then I would be monitored from afar. Other children often rejected me because I didn’t like to participate in physical activities and also because I enjoyed having conversations about things they didn’t (and shouldn’t) grasp like politics. I was very socially blunt and would inform someone of something without easing into it, for example, if I felt attracted to a girl I would simply tell her as opposed to trying to construct a relationship with her first, which is why I was never able to build a healthy relationship with any girls at that time. I kept spiraling downward emotionally because I was constantly rejected; the pain eventually began to smother me. I completely isolated myself from outside life and dwelled on all the negativity flowing in my mind. I was depressed, and cried myself to sleep night after night, after a while my sadness turned into anger, then hate started to accompany my anger. Compassion was switched with fear in the hearts of those who tried to support me. By middle school I was completely devoured by hatred. I loathed the kids around me; I wanted them to murder them all. Teachers at my charter middle school started to get concerned because I was so anti-social and because they would occasionally find my grotesquely violent drawings and overwhelmingly disturbing writings depicting the killing of others with a variety of firearms. I did not associate the drawings and stories with one or two students, because they weren’t the only ones I wished were dead. I wanted a mass slaughter, the death of all mankind. I wanted my revenge distributed unto all people because it was humans who filled me with suffering. I would take my anger out upon the only person who loved me to no end, my mother. I would shout at her, tell her I hated her, make her weep, and felt no guilt for doing so. Guilt was not something I felt, because I believed that all the pain I delivered to others was completely justified. My history teacher would ask me “What do you think would help solve some of the problems across the globe?” every day after school even though I never gave a response. After about a month of him doing this I decided to answer him, I walked towards the exit, stopped right in front if the door, let out a sigh as I looked down at my feet, I rested my hand on the doorknob, turned and stared my teacher straight in the eyes. He again asked me “What do you think would help solve some of the problems across the globe?” and then met his eyes with mine, I thought for a second and then replied “violence solves all problems; no people, no problem” (I later learned that I had actually quoted Stalin).
