If you're at a party and an attractive drunk girl comes up to you and starts feelin you up and lets say you don't drink so you're 100% sober. If she says, "Lets go upstairs", would you go? Or would you say no?

that talk down to me still like im a child only.

i regret to say ive always been this way......its like i lose the will to be assertive...and are afraid any assertiveness might hurt their feelings...plus if i assert myself...it could turn into an argument.

i feel extremely angry with myself...like ive let myself down when i fail to be assertive.....i disappear and dont contact nobody.
i feel ridiculous to because im 30 years old.

i have borderline personality and have suffered alot of trauma in my life including : prolonged bullying....sexual abuse....assaults....muggings...head injuries...victimization.....ive been very unfortunate and missed out greatly.
i know that i can assert myself...but some times its like i lose the will and im afraid to.......especially to these controlling family members that talk to me like a child...like i should assume the role of one.

what is the answer to this ?

thankyou

This has been bugging me for months... I need someone to tell me that I'm not going crazy. To make this post short, I will use numbers:

1. Someone I really care about is dying. I can't seem to accept it, and I always put it out of my mind and live my life normally, such as having fun and having a social life. Sometimes I forget about it altogether...
2. When my grandma had a stroke, I failed to show emotion or be upset. I was about 9 years old when it happened. When we were at the hospital, I was more worried about just getting home.
3. My grandma also had a heart attack a couple of years ago, and when I was told, I failed to bring myself to feel any pain. Of course I care about her, but it felt like I didn't.

Does that make me cold and inhuman? More than anything, I want to show more of a reaction, but I'm so numb. I tend to carry on with life as normal, but it's not the way it should be.

Say you don't see your crush for a week or two, does absence make the heart grow fonder?

Why or why not?
And give an example if you have one?
(Did it make you make a move the next time you saw them?)

Do you think morality comes from religion? Do you think it comes from a social need? Or maybe both?

If it doesn't come from religion, then why is "sleeping around" something immoral? Then why is arguing with your parents something immoral? Or is it not?

I am not a religious person, I am just trying to define this word as more accurate as I can and understand what really is moral and what isn't

my friend has told me that he wants to commit suicide. he has been depressed all year, and its quite heavily my fault. not only mine, for instance alot of people he knew (eg. uncle, other relations, friend) died in quick succession. last year his parents got a divorce. Just a bad year for him. He's in love with me, but its not mutual and I only like him as a friend. he has tried to commit suicide once before, the night he found out that I'd had sex with my girlfriend. He's gone to China for three weeks during the christmas holidays (he's 16) with his mum and his brother. he told me that if i try and contact his mum then he would commit suicide instantly, he's adamant that he doesn't want ehr to know. he's said he won't do ti before christmas but he might never come back to London. I don't know what to do. I've told our mutual best friend, but I'm at a loss. he feels he's a burden to everyone, and he knows how much ppl luv him, and thats the only thing keeping him alive. what can i do??

Alright my friend told me yesterday something really private, she said her uncle slept in the same bed twice with her. Asked if she liked to fool around and knew any prostitutes. And she said he used to play a game w/her made her close her eyes and supposal put his finger in her mouth saying he’s a dentists. Happened like 10 yrs ago though.
I didn’t know what to say she’s really upset about it.

I live in South Africa which is now one of the Worlds most dangerous countries from a crime perspective. Sadly the crime is brutal (they threatened to put my friends baby in the oven if she did not co-operate) and our lives are filled with stories of 18month babies being raped, people being murdered for a cell phone, etc. My 14 yr old sister is constantly scared that something might happen to her and its getting to the point where its always on her mind.
What can u honestly say to her to make her stop all this worrying? Honestly, I think she is robbing herself of her happiness.

I am 25 , I am emtionally stable ,I hate my mom deeply . I tried hardly to settle down the whole thing but she rejects me each time . she is though , she lived a misrable childhood which affected her attitude towards the others . she is so emotionally strict . for example after a minor quarrel when i was 19 she igrored me for 2 successive years . when i do simple mistake she just ignores me so long and so complete that she don't even give an eye contact and stays like that for months , and although i try to talk to her she further ignores me . she prefers my eldest sister , and she is not making that secret she told me loud and clear that i shouldn'expect equal love like my sister .
from the little i know in psychiatry that is not normal at all , I don't even care about her , all i want now is to know wether my relatioship with her would affect my relation with females?
is there any link in psychaitry between parents and sexual relations of sons?

I'm 18 and thinking of going to see a therapist or something like that. I'm insecure from my experiences at school. I was bullied really badly, all my friends turned out to be two-faced, and now I don't trust anybody. I'm hate being like this as I know not everyone is bad, and want to do something about my problems. But does therapy or anything like that actually work? Has anyone here had any experiences?

I do agree you should not talk about death all the time because it will make life miserable,but shouldnt we have frequent discussions about it.Death will get you wherever you are and trying to avoid the question may not help.Death has no age,sex and its going to get us one day or another.
Dont we realise that in the year 2108 ninety nine percent of the 6 billion people currently living on earth will be dead.

Ok, I hate how I have such bad anger management at points, I usually mainly let out anger with myself. Though since I live with my mom and she seems to be a big cause of why I get angry a lot of times, I end up yelling at her a whole lot because she yells at me about like every little thing and i HATE it so much. Can anybody please give me some advice on how I can deal with my anger management problems effectively since I don't even have a punching bag and my mom won't let me get one, which is really gay!!! Because of that, I take all my anger management out on this photo albums box that is in my basement, I recently started doing this and I completely like tore up the box so badly now from punching and kicking it so hard and throwing it around. My knuckles have gotten blood on them from punching them so hard and all as well. I just don't know what to do and my mom already threatened to kick me out of her house because of these problems she is really concerned about. F*** this!!!
