Tell me please, because I've unsuccessfully tried many times.
I talk to a person one time and then they stop talking to me? I don't understand. Maybe it's because I make them feel uncomfortable, but I can't help that. I think I smile too much or something, but that's only because I'm TRYING to be friendly. It's like people try to avoid me because they think that I don't like them... or something. But really, I want to make friends because at this moment, I don't have many. So tell me, how do you make friends? What seems so easy for others seem so hard for me.

I am a professional and travel for work. I stayed at a hotel where 3 of the hotel staff disliked me for petty reasons & constantly bad mouthed me in a very jr. high school way. In my work environment, I cannot fathom that kind of behavior. What causes this behavior as adults? Is it jealousy? Envy? Do they think that I'm better than them?

i am veeery shy, some jokes people make at my school seem to me pretty stupid and yet everybody else seems to laugh. i cant focus on anything because im constantly thinking of how i look, what my posture is etc.. so when some1 asks me something they throw me completly off balance. people make me nerveous. i know im not stupid so why dont i get their jokes... it takes a lot for me to be entertained so i try to smile so people dont think im boring. i know im not boring because i talk to myself... whenever theres a mirror my confidence grows.. i am also very lazy which makes me even more unfocused. HELP i just dont know what to do anymore.. i dont think i care about anything other than myself and my own needs...i know im fun because when nobody is around thats the real time i let my true self out. i wish i was like that aroun other people but im too busy worring about what their opinions of me are and that stops me. please help me out. any suggestions??

I've been in social services for 6 years now and am running into some serious burnout. I set up interviews for people and they don't show up. Or they decide they didn't want to work after all. Or they decide they don't like to have to be at work on time. Plus there is all the inefficiency, red tape, and bureacracy. Everyone that comes in for services has a barcode and is scanned in. The people are just numbers. Should I remain involved in a system like this or just let it go?

seriously.i think the entire debate over whether god exists or not is kind of ridiculous and pointless. im a christian but i do believe religion is theory not fact . religion may be divinely inspired -i dont know for sure. but its man made as far as whats printed in a book goes - i believe religion is inspired by god but that doesnt mean that the society in biblical times wasnt corrupt and biased - it was. and i dont believe religion was ever meant to be as organized and hypocritical as it is today.

anyway - my bf is athiest and we talk about what we believe and thats fine. but what i dont tolerate is when self righteous people - ATHIEST AND RELIGIOUS - get in my face about how much 'proof' they have that their side is right. shut the **** up! i dont give a ****. when you die and find out the truth then call me. in the mean time: i dont believe for a ******* second that the big bang happened and we are here by chance. and i sure as hell dont believe being homosexual is a sin...

Females, do you feel a biological clock inside of you that tells you that you have to settle down and have children? Or is it just a social effect, what society tells you that you have to do, and that it is supposed to be your role in life? I have just never understood why woman are always so eager to have children.

Do you think that within a year some one can change?
Change their tendancies and the way they treat certain people?

Say if someone treated someone badly in the past, but that person hadn't treated them so well before either, but time passes and the relationship between the two becomes more light-hearted; there are great changes in the way of communication (less shy to much more outgoing)...

You always read about homophobes who kill gay people or attack gay people physically. Is this because a typical homophobe is more prone to criminal behavior? If so, what can be done to protect innocent people from these scumbags?
