I was going to write about how video games have affected the way I think and interact with people and percieve things.
Is it good or is it a little too nerdy?Is this a good college essay topic?
Well, did they ask you write about something or someone who has made an impact on your life? or you just decided for yourself that this topic was a good choice? What ever works for you. If you feel that this topic has merit go for it! Is this a good college essay topic?
Yeah it's somewhat nerdy. But it's very true, and this has happened to a lot of people in the U.S.
So, I say, Write about it!
its a good topic, its something that you know about personally and have a lot of studies to back up whatever veiw you take on it

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can I get rid of excessive armpit sweat?
I've been having a real bad problem with excessive sweating from my armpit, I don't know what to do and I just really want to get rid of it for good. It is very embarassing even because I don't do anything it my armpits get soaked in sweat. I'm starting a new job where I am going to be interacting with people and I really need help. Please someone, how can I get rid of my bad sweat problem. And please no answers about undershirts or staying in front of the air conditioner because it doesn't work. Please tell me what I can use. I really appreciate your help.SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can I get rid of excessive armpit sweat?
If antiperspirants don't work, you might consider seeing a dermatologist for Botox injections. I don't know exactly why it works, but it does.SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can I get rid of excessive armpit sweat?
trust me...try ceratin-dri! it really works after the first couple treatments you do. people say it burns but it feels more itchy. you can always find it in wal-mart in the deo. section it is about $5 but i got the liquid roll on. and there is a deo. stick of it for the morning to freshen up.
HAVE YOU TRIED SHAVING YOUR ARMPITS, SOME TIMES ALOT OF HAIR UNDER THERE WILL HOLD HEAT AND CAUSE YOU TO SWEAT MORE... TRY IT AND SEE...
BOUNCIN OUT~*
Wide range of possibilites, that range from wearing a pad, to better deoderant. There some common prescriptions that can be used, one of the hottest ones lately is to use Botox. The final/ultimate solution is for a plastic surgeon to resect and reconstruct your armit, removing the sweat glands in the process.
Always talk to your doctor first about your health issues. Hyperhidrosis (over sweating) could have serious underlying causes that may require surgery or antibiotics in severe cases. Only your health care provider can diagnose these types of issues.
Check your local drug store or grocery store for an antiperspirant/deodorant. Make sure it says antiperspirant on the label. Try a few and determine if any of them reduce the amount you sweat.
Should your doctor deem your sweating is normal ask him/her about Drysol. Drysol is aluminum cholride and when applied to the underarms works to shrink the sweat glands. It is a prescription medication and should only be used with a doctor's guidance.
Try wearing a plain white t-shirt underneath your normal shirts. This will be your first line of defense against sweat puddles forming on your outer shirt. Also, the white t-shirts are easy to bleach/oxy-clean the stains out of. However, this may have the opposite of the desired effect, especially if the shirt makes you too hot or gets bunched in your armpits.
Make sure you shower/bathe regularly. This will help to minimize effects of oversweating.
Drink plenty of water. it both dilutes the concentration of the your bodily effluents and it cleanses the whole system.
If you don't want it to show, wear a black shirt.
Try Certain Dri, It's either in the deodorant section or behind the pharmacy counter. It works really well, as long as you follow the directions (use it at night, not right after a shower). It can work for up to 72 hours. It's great!
the Dr can give you a prescription for special deodorant,but theres also a new one that is over the counter,that is supposed to be prescription strength.i have heard there is surgery to correct that,but it would probably have to be really severe.
try Certain Dri. It's about $5 at most drugstores. It says 72 hour protection but a lot of people (including me) have to use it every night. Try not to use it right after you shave, though. It mioght burn. (yeah I am serious)
there is a prescription med your doc or dermatologist can prescribe to remedy this! depending on the severity you APPLY it everyday for a week or more then back of to once or twice a week. product name is Hypercare. there are also surgical options...but I'd try this out first!
good luck!
Try ';Certain Dri'; which can be found at the store in the deoderant section. It has a different ingredient than deo. It is made to reduce sweat/sweat gland production. You apply it at night before bed. Usually you can use it every other night and it still works. Apply certain dri at night and then deoderant in the morning. It works.
See the doctor.
Well, do you use an antiperspirant deodorant? Thats first, and if it continues, shave your armpits, and if that doesn't work, try seeing a doctor.

My dog is agressive. How can we change that?
We've had our dog for 5 years. In the past 3, he's been aggressive to the point that sometimes we're scared of him. He'll bite and always growls. We don't let him interact with people, but one day I want him to be like the day we got him. How can we make him a kinder dog without going to a therapist?My dog is agressive. How can we change that?
well you have to get your Domination, and you have to earn his trust so he knows he has no reason to bite or growl. ill give examples of things you may try, but if its that bad you may want to go see someone about it for the dog...
you need to buy a collar similar to a choke collar and place this on the dog, and a short leash maybe 2 feet max. This way the dog walks right next to you. NEVER let the dog walk in front of you The dog will feel more dominant. So either right next to you or behind you a bit.
Also have your dog spayed/nutered This is proven to make a dog a lot more calm and sociable. I have learned first hand. I have rescued many pit bulls who were used for fighting and these are the things i have done with them!
Interact with the dog a lot more. I would give the dog a nice bath...i know this may be hard but give the dog a nice bath and then towel dry him...dogs love this and hate being wet so they realize they need you to get dry. then give a bone To chew on to settle back down. and give lots of praises!!
Make a point to walk the dog every day with the short leash and collar this will get out extra energy and will allow less energy for aggression!! email me if you need more help ill do all i can

You need to go to a trainer and get Professional help if your not experienced with aggressive dogs
i had a shih tzu like that and i had to get a Professional trainer to help me but make sure they work with you and not just the dog!!
You MUST go to a professional dog trainer. It isn't wise to take opinions of such a situation off of the internet.
Dealing with aggressie dogs isn't a 'easy fix.' Contact a dog trainer. Plain and Simple.
Good Luck!
Please DO NOT try the Cesar Milan-type dominance training on your dog. It may work on TV but you can get badly bitten if you try this yourself. Dominance training, if done wrong, can make your dog MORE aggressive.
What I'd suggest instead is the NILF (Nothing in life is free) program. Don't take your dog on walks, feed, or pet him unless he does a trick for you (sitting, laying down). This will teach him that he needs to earn things from you, and he will learn to respect you. You can hand-feed him his entire dinner, making him sit or do a trick for each handful of food.
I would suggest an obedience class if you can afford it. Humane societies often offer them for $60-$80. It might be worth it since it might keep you from needing to put your dog down.

How the heck do you get over social anxiaty?

Fing social anxiaty is that i have truble with that! if you dont start a converstation a usually will not talk. Is there is there another way to get over it?Do i just need to talk to random people in the street or what?How the heck do you get over social anxiaty?
Dark, dark sunglasses and a friendly smile.How the heck do you get over social anxiaty?
Being social is very rewarding, and some advice if you try to talk to random people. . . people LOVE to talk about themselves. . .
be yourself
If you like to be quite, just be quiet
Not everybody have to talk all the time
just be natural
Well, if you are talking about a social anxiety disorder/social phobia, the best thing to do would be to talk to a psychologist about it. They could help find methods of getting you past it and hopefully putting the disorder into remission. I myself had social anxiety disorder, along with slight agoraphobia (because of the panic attacks I had when being around larger crowds). I saw a psychologist for a while, and she taught me some breathing exercises to help me relax when I felt a panic attack coming on. She also helped to get me on Paxil (she couldn't write out a perscription herself since she wasn't a psychiatrist), which worked wonders. My disorder has remitted, and I no longer need medications. So I would strongly recommend that you talk to a councelor or a psychologist if you think your anxiety is a problem and is interfering with any aspect of your life.
you need to realize that Jesus Christ loves you and accepts you.If you can be accepted by someone as great as he,and your focus is pleasing your God first and fore most,does it really matter if another human being does not accept you,when you realize Jesus accepts you just as I am.you will find your self worth,and you will quit doubting yourself,you will know you are Worthy of social acceptance,
1) START SIMPLE. Say ';Hi';, ';Thank you';, or ';Good Morning,'; to every ';service'; person you meet: waiter, bus driver, mailman, cashier, etc. + all your neighbors. Remember to make eye contact %26amp; a friendly smile!!!!!!! (Even a ';shy'; smile is OK, if you can't do a happy one yet)
When you can do this comfortably %26amp; all the time, then you can add a sentence or question: ';You look a little tired today. Is everything OK?'; (for someone you see often). ';That's a really beautiful shirt.'; (It has to be true, and you have to sound like you mean it. If they are happy you said it, you can ask, ';Where did you get it?'; If there is little positive reaction, let it go.) Stick with compliments, caring questions, or perhaps job-related questions (';How often do you change the menu?'; or ';What's the most popular dish?'; at a restaurant.
2) START SMALL. For conversations, start with 1 FRIEND at a time. When you can talk with 1 friend for an hour (that means you also speaking %26amp; not just listening, maybe 50-50).... then, add 1 MORE FRIEND. When you can talk with 2 friends comfortably, then add 1 more, etc......
This may take some time. Give your self some time!
3) LEARN HOW TO ASK GOOD QUESTIONS. Since people like to talk about themselves, learn to ask questions that allow you (or even the other person) to understand more about them. Remember, for every question, there is an answer. And for every answer, there is a follow-up question. If you can't think of a question, it's because you didn't discover it yet. This takes practice.
4) LEARN MORE PSYCHOLOGY %26amp; HOW TO INCREASE YOUR EQ. This means, studying other people more. Anxious people focus on themselves; one way to feel less anxious, is to focus your attention on other people. Try to understand them, what they are feeling, and offer either agreement, empathy, support, encouragement, comfort... it depends on what they want.... you'll have to sharpen your 6th sense. Most people are unhappy about something (or many things) in their lives. When you truly see %26amp; realize this more %26amp; more, you will feel less anxious about your self.adjectives proof

Why are Black Women so mean to the nice Black Guys?
As a young African American Man who works in a very conservative corporate environment - were there are very few African American males, I’m sometimes asked by African American people, if I experience racism in my office, (I assume they’re referring to the White people in the office). I tell them, “Actually, no, I don’t.” There may be one or two people who may have some issues, but they don’t bother me. They don’t say anything to me, and I don’t say anything to them. But over all, they, (meaning the White people in the office) are very, very nice, they are all very educated and they respect me in the same sense. But I continue to expound on the question by informing them that I do experience problems, but I get them from the Black Women in my office. A number of them are very rude, harassing and provoking towards me, although I’m always doing my work and minding my business. They make comments such as: “I don’t act black, I act like I think I’m white, etc. I’m told by some of my African American friends, men and women, that these Black Women behave like this towards me because they like me and they are trying to get my attention. Personally, I think these type of women are crazy and sick because no other women, White, Asian, etc… behaves like that towards me. I’m sometimes asked by my White and Asian women friends, “why are Black Women so mean to the nice Black Guys?; or, why do Black Women hate the nice Black Guys?” Some of the women who have asked me these questions have themselves, witness Black Women attack and harass me, as well as other African American guys like myself. White and other cultures of women in my work environment, as well as in other social environments often tell me, “You are so nice, you are so nice; you are so sweet, you are so nice”. Meanwhile, these White and Asian women watch the Black Women - although unprovoked - harass and attack me for no apparent reason, when I’m always simply just minding my business; and then they hear these very same Black Women make up crazy, sick, irrational excuses for their behavior. I explain to these White, Asian and other cultures of women that many Black Women hate the nice African American Men because they can’t pin their problems and issues on us like they are so notorious for doing, but instead have to take the challenge of responsibility for their own faults, failures and other issues. The nice guys have an education, we have good jobs, we don’t have children or owe child support, which means we have no responsibility to accompany their misery, because misery loves company, and our content and happiness makes them jealous and angry. Black Women can’t accuse us for their many problems and issues in an attempt to gain pity and sympathy from the rest of the world like they are so known to do. When nice guys are around, we make Black Women look bad and weaken their argument when ever they try to make negative and degrading statements about African American Men, and then, what makes them hate us even more is, the nice guys usually date White, Asian or other cultures of women. This leaves the question that I’ve heard other cultures ask: “Okay, we know about all the bad Black Men, but why can’t Black Women get the Good Ones?” I’m often told by some of my White and Asian Women friends, “I could never imagine you with a Black Women, you are too nice, you are not for Black Women, the other kind of Black Guys are for Black Women, you are too nice.” Black Women seem to not be aware that other cultures are very observant as to how African American people interact with each other. Often after watching Black Women harass me when I’m minding my business, my White, Asian and other cultures of women friends have said “Black Women are crazy, why do they threat the nice Black Guys bad, then get mad when they date White or Asian women?” My response is, “It-is sought of a craziness.”Why are Black Women so mean to the nice Black Guys?
Sad but true . I have seen it and pointed it out to some sisters. As you mentioned other women from different cultures are simply watching and studying us. Then when these confused sisters turn their backs, the other types of women are ready to pounce and pour salt in the wounds. We as Black women must recognize our faults and come to grips with this insanity.Why are Black Women so mean to the nice Black Guys?
if you have a nice kind white woman, why even waste your time posting this question?
I've actually experienced the same thing as a black woman from both sexes. Some people have a presence that is intimidating. If these black women get along with every other black man and not you then you may need to change something. Try talking to them instead of waiting on them to speak first.
I completely agree with Don Don!!
Kinda funny how you didnt post an avatar, let alone a picture.
First off I'm also a young black men and I completely disagree with you because your a ignorant idiot who generalize everything, I have met Some black women who are like that but most black women are not.
i have no words for this stupidity...
why do you assume all black women do that? not all black women are crazy
I don't care what anyone says, this man is telling the truth.
Sisters get it together!
The problem is that once they hook up with the thug bastard after getting her pregnant with mutiple children %26amp; walks out on her leaving her with the responsibilities;she get's fustrated %26amp; start blaming all black men for her troubles,including the nice black men.
IDK. I'm mixed and they are so rude to me. They say that i act white when really, I am just educated and don't believe in saying,';Yo, my *****'; because that just sounds very uneducated.
I think your question is wayy too long to read, so i'm just gonna tell you to stop talking about black people in that way. All races and cultures and so forth have their problems, it's NOT JUST BLACK PEOPLE. white people do it too, ya shocking eh?
that is sooooo long. there's no way I'm reading all that crap, but I don't like you - just because you generalize and stereotype. bye!
p.s. now I see why I don't date people like you - I wouldn't give you the time of day!
I'm sorry about giving you ';thumbs up';. I wanted to give you ';thumbs down';.
I have the solution to your problem though.... make an ';L'; shape with your hand. Now, place it on your forehead...... Loser!
I can't begin to understand why those women would act that way. I just dream of the day that we only see each other as either Good or Bad, with skin, religion or gender not getting in the way.
I hope you find happiness, and don't give a second thought to those that interfere with that happiness.
Ok whoa- after reading that whole thing i had to take a break. But either way. I understand what you are talking about except I am looking from the womans point of view. I moved to a basically all white community about 4 years ago. When i got up here, the black men were very rude, disrespectful and just plain jerky to me. They would turn up their noses at me (which i feel i looked darn good by the way, not model type but attractive nonetheless) and run to an oversize white woman. That bothered me for a while until white men started to pay attention to me. After that started to happen, the same guys who were rude to me in the beginning would come up to me and ask me why I was being saditty(sp?). I was totally offended by that because I felt I had always went out of my way to be around them.
I started to see what you were talking about at some point later, with AA women treating AA men crappy. I could not understand it but they broke it down like this- most of them have been in bad relationships with a man or two in their lives that have skewed their opinion of all black males. The guy who approaches her might be the nicest guy in the world, but if she had been treated like crap before, odds are she wont want anything to do with you. I say ignore them and get yourself around those who will accept you for you. You arent doing anything wrong- it is just them placing all the worlds blame on you. It is on them completely.
Just please dont wear open toe sandals, wear khaki shorts or sing to pop music. that will turn anyone off....
Because they have been taught that being white is everything and they have become just as racists as the most white people..
They will also learn that they too will have to suffer the same fate that all racists will face in the end..................... And that's the fiery pit will burn for a very long time....................................…
Not all black women are like that. So far you have not met the others. Perhaps it is the company you keep?
Happens to me. I don't know why. They're just real moody or something.
Notice how all the black women posting here are giving you an attitude? This is exactly what you're talking about.
What in the HELL? Did you copy and paste this NOVEL from a jet magazine article. You should have it published. Better yet, divide it into twenty parts and call it a series!
Oh, and no one cares what your white American, and Asian American female friends think!!!!!!!!
Either you hate your black mother, or a woman who happens to be black has just dumped you or shot down your advances. Cut it out man! You are no prize. I can tell by how you lumped the whole black race of women into one mindset because a few may, and I say may because you are hard to believe, have disrespected you.
Get over yourself. You are not the first successful black man and you won't be the last. Many a black woman is looking for and knows how to treat a good black man. When you become one, maybe you'll find one.
You're an embarassment to yourself; not the race.
OK, I read your whole story. What I got out of it was that there are a couple of black women in your office that say things like, ';I don’t act black, I act like I think I’m white';.
It isn't an attack, it's a fact. Don't take it in a bad way. I know plenty of white people who act like they are black. There isn't any normal way for ANY race to behave these days.
You act like an up tight white guy instead of a jive talking brother. For those women, that may make you a sell out in their mind. For you, it is a professional way to act in the office.
I'm sure those women are not your superiors at the office. I'm sure they are on one of the lower rungs of the corporate ladder. When they learn to act professional for an office situation, they may move up the ladder. Their attitude not only shows to you, but I'm sure their boss also sees their unprofessional behavior.
Just remember to be yourself. Don't fall into a racial stereo type. Mostly, don't worry about what those black women say at work, or the white and asian women either. I got the impression they are playing you.
As I read your question, I begin to wonder if you examined yourself. Maybe you are treating the black women differently.You claim that the women would harass you for no reason, but have you examined your behavior. Maybe you are giving negative non verbal signals.
The comments that you made about you asking other women( make me wonder about what type of person you are. If you see that there is a problem with the black women in your office, why not ask them why they treat you the way they do. I think that you want to complain about black women just so you would have an excuse for dating other women. If you want to date other women then fine, but stop trying to down black women.
If you were so good, I am sure that you can find a nice black woman. Many women like myself would like to find a nice black man. Not just educated, but really a good person. I know many men who are educated and appear to be a ';good'; person, but after being around them for a while their true nature comes out.
is your mother black? if so, do you think that she is crazy? well sometimes we forget here we came from because we have gotten a few steps ahead of minimum wage. have you ever dated a black woman? well if not how would you know anything about us (black woman). so you a strong, black, educated man would rather take advice from a white or Asian woman. well you don't even fit the destruction of a black man. I'm not prejudice but your not really black, you don't know your roots. the sisters probably are just joking with you. you probably been around white people so long you don't know your own people. don't down us like we are the only race that get child support. I've slept with white guys who know sisters better than you. my true white sisters wouldn't even mess with you because you are downing your own mom. i can understand a bum on the street begging for change. they are trying to make a living just like you.
Hey NICE GUY,
ME think thou dost protest too much. If you were really a nine Guy I don't think the women would be so mean to you. Maybe you should check yourself and see what you're doing to make them so angry.
I'm a nice guy and I've never had a woman of any race be excessivly mean to me without reason.
Maybe you should stop looking for the negative things, and look at the positive. Lots of African American women have had to be strong for many, many years and take care of their families alone. Many of them had to be Mother and Father. The system was set up to keep the African American families apart. When they see you dating outside of your race and badmouthing them at the same time you become a huge part of the problem.
African American women are not crazy! They are just tired of all the crap that they have to handle alone, and not being praised for being the Queens that they really are, and always will be!
Remember that you came from one of those Queens!
I am a black woman, and I know the type that you are talking about they are mean to everybody as far as I know, even if your friends are right about them liking you run the other way those ladies are crazy
^ one of the crazy ones --- aaghh!
OMG ! You have just told the story of my life in corporate America. I always knew there had to be other Black men out there dealing with the same foolishness. First off the majority of Black women who responded to your question were hostile and attacked you; which is ironic. I believe if you're educated and focused on legitamate success ,you will receive hostility from certain types of Black women in corporate America. Mainly because they aren't accustom to dealing with these types of Black men. They can't talk to you like a child and take on some assumed authoritative role. You're not on the run from the police or asking them for money. You are independent and not relying on them for credit or a place to live. You have your act together far better then they do and it intimidates them.
It's sad because I've seen them denigrate Black men to other types of women in hopes of making us unattractive . Then these other types of women will turn around and go right after these same Black men when the Black women's backs are turned . Then Black women wonder why they are losing out. I could go on and on . It's a major problem with our women in the work place and no one is talking about it .Instead Ophra wants to talk about Black women dating White men. So damn foolish.These people are watching us and studying how we interact with ourselves. The bottom line is you are not alone ,just ignore those women who harass you but don't give up on all the sisters. When those Asian and White girls try to add fuel to the fire by saying '; I can't see you with a Black woman ';, just realize deep down they don't want Black men and women to get together anyway. Black women please wake up.
I just don't understand what it mean to ';act black';. The only thing I can think of is not to act LIKE THE REST OF SOCIETY. Do white people really act white? Do you think that French, Dutch, Russan, etc.....really like to act English in America? You bet your bottom dollar they do. You know why? They worked hard and long to be a part of America. They understand where they came from and where they are going.
Please read some of Top P's other questions and then decide who really has the problem: Top P or African American women.
It's their way to compensate. But to me it's childish anyway.
more than likely you're an uncle tom
so they resent you.....just be and don't worry about them
im just gonna assume your right,because i skimmed your novel and its just too boring.
Who cares, why did you type all that crap
I'm sorry you have endured this type of harassment from women of your own background. Some people say that black men only want us white women because we are docile and easy to control. That happens to not be the case in my situation. It's all in how you are raised and your general personality. I'm sure that there are lots of women of all races who would love to have a man like you (and if I weren't already happily married, i'd say give me a call). So, try not to be too judgemental , even though that seems to be a dominant behavior of black ladies. Maybe you will find a nice lady (no matter what race) and she will give you the kind of respect that a man like you deserves. Just keep your head up and trust your heart, she'll be along one day! Good Luck and I want to say that I am very proud that there are men like you still out there! =D
Long question...
So here goes it.
I am a white female living in a african american community. I was raised in a very rich town that only had 7 or 8 black people in my High School out of hundreds. I confided in two of the females because they were very interesting and fun to be around. Even though they were ';whiterized and educated'; they still fit that mindset. They were mean to brothers and hispanics but not to white men.
Why?
From living in this area for only 2 months I pretty much discovered what the culture is like. There are two classes and I have been told this by black people and I AM NOT RACIST. So here goes it '; there are educated black people and uneducated black people';. The educated ones are understanding, and the others from what I have seen are just NuTs. But the females in both classes have one common factor. They dispise black men. The majority of black men are quiet and reserved but still independent, unique, and short tempered. The thing about black culture, is african american men believe that ';sluttifying'; black woman and hispanic woman is okay. Ever sense im guessing the 70s it has been a learned ';habit'; to treat the females this way.
Why?
Woman outnumber men by outrageous amounts. Sense african americans are still a minority the community and men available is very little. Woman slutify themselves and let themselves be slutified and fight over the men. They treat the men badly in turn because of the way they are objectified. If they weren't so objectified and ';played'; they would be much sweeter toward black males. They know white men aren't ';checking out their goods every 4 seconds'; but dispite if black males are or not they believe they are. Because there are very few men many of them turn into players, because there are so many easy black woman out there.
It is hard for black woman to believe that there are good ';brothers'; out there because, when they find one they are usually very good players with bank accounts and educations. This is a reason for some much mixing of colors.
Have you ever noticed it is acceptable for black woman to be fat, because it's still thought of as sexy wheras white woman cannot be fat because its not sexy? Black woman have beautiful bodies and take weight on well, they also have very few cracks and lines as they age. They are beautiful, and also vain.
This is why they treat you poorly. Many white womany will treat you with more respect than they treat white men with for the fact that you are black. They don't want to offend you in anyways, because it is important to impress and like you.
I am not racist, this is observation and what I have learned.
actually I read your entire post....%26amp; I agree with you....I'm a southern white girl....%26amp; here I see issues on both sides...but I see more agression come from the black women....I have black friends...most of which are black male...%26amp; maybe 1 or 2 black women....a lot of it....I would say comes from the way they are raised.....you were raised that education %26amp; a job is important...for any color....that should be the proper way.
here....most of the black women have several kids...all from different dads....%26amp; they all want that state check....%26amp; will pick a fight over anything.....
I don't have a problem with the race as a whole....I just wish the women would shut up.
You seem like a pleasant person. %26amp; I am sorry for your bad experiences....but then again...I'm white %26amp; I feel like I'd just be repeating what your current white friends say to you. but I bet there is a black womam out there with a good education %26amp; a sweet disposition....you just haven't met her yet.
Take Care
Sad but true . I have seen it and pointed it out to some sisters. As you mentioned other women from different cultures are simply watching and studying us. Then when these confused sisters turn their backs, the other types of women are ready to pounce and pour salt in the wounds. We as Black women must recognize our faults and come to grips with this insanity.Why are Black Women so mean to the nice Black Guys?
if you have a nice kind white woman, why even waste your time posting this question?
Report Abuse
I've actually experienced the same thing as a black woman from both sexes. Some people have a presence that is intimidating. If these black women get along with every other black man and not you then you may need to change something. Try talking to them instead of waiting on them to speak first.

IDK. I'm mixed and they are so rude to me. They say that i act white when really, I am just educated and don't believe in saying,';Yo, my *****'; because that just sounds very uneducated.

I think your question is wayy too long to read, so i'm just gonna tell you to stop talking about black people in that way. All races and cultures and so forth have their problems, it's NOT JUST BLACK PEOPLE. white people do it too, ya shocking eh?
that is sooooo long. there's no way I'm reading all that crap, but I don't like you - just because you generalize and stereotype. bye!
p.s. now I see why I don't date people like you - I wouldn't give you the time of day!
I'm sorry about giving you ';thumbs up';. I wanted to give you ';thumbs down';.
I have the solution to your problem though.... make an ';L'; shape with your hand. Now, place it on your forehead...... Loser!
I can't begin to understand why those women would act that way. I just dream of the day that we only see each other as either Good or Bad, with skin, religion or gender not getting in the way.
I hope you find happiness, and don't give a second thought to those that interfere with that happiness.
Ok whoa- after reading that whole thing i had to take a break. But either way. I understand what you are talking about except I am looking from the womans point of view. I moved to a basically all white community about 4 years ago. When i got up here, the black men were very rude, disrespectful and just plain jerky to me. They would turn up their noses at me (which i feel i looked darn good by the way, not model type but attractive nonetheless) and run to an oversize white woman. That bothered me for a while until white men started to pay attention to me. After that started to happen, the same guys who were rude to me in the beginning would come up to me and ask me why I was being saditty(sp?). I was totally offended by that because I felt I had always went out of my way to be around them.
I started to see what you were talking about at some point later, with AA women treating AA men crappy. I could not understand it but they broke it down like this- most of them have been in bad relationships with a man or two in their lives that have skewed their opinion of all black males. The guy who approaches her might be the nicest guy in the world, but if she had been treated like crap before, odds are she wont want anything to do with you. I say ignore them and get yourself around those who will accept you for you. You arent doing anything wrong- it is just them placing all the worlds blame on you. It is on them completely.
Just please dont wear open toe sandals, wear khaki shorts or sing to pop music. that will turn anyone off....
Because they have been taught that being white is everything and they have become just as racists as the most white people..
They will also learn that they too will have to suffer the same fate that all racists will face in the end..................... And that's the fiery pit will burn for a very long time....................................…
Not all black women are like that. So far you have not met the others. Perhaps it is the company you keep?
Happens to me. I don't know why. They're just real moody or something.
Notice how all the black women posting here are giving you an attitude? This is exactly what you're talking about.
What in the HELL? Did you copy and paste this NOVEL from a jet magazine article. You should have it published. Better yet, divide it into twenty parts and call it a series!
Oh, and no one cares what your white American, and Asian American female friends think!!!!!!!!
Either you hate your black mother, or a woman who happens to be black has just dumped you or shot down your advances. Cut it out man! You are no prize. I can tell by how you lumped the whole black race of women into one mindset because a few may, and I say may because you are hard to believe, have disrespected you.
Get over yourself. You are not the first successful black man and you won't be the last. Many a black woman is looking for and knows how to treat a good black man. When you become one, maybe you'll find one.
You're an embarassment to yourself; not the race.
OK, I read your whole story. What I got out of it was that there are a couple of black women in your office that say things like, ';I don’t act black, I act like I think I’m white';.
It isn't an attack, it's a fact. Don't take it in a bad way. I know plenty of white people who act like they are black. There isn't any normal way for ANY race to behave these days.
You act like an up tight white guy instead of a jive talking brother. For those women, that may make you a sell out in their mind. For you, it is a professional way to act in the office.
I'm sure those women are not your superiors at the office. I'm sure they are on one of the lower rungs of the corporate ladder. When they learn to act professional for an office situation, they may move up the ladder. Their attitude not only shows to you, but I'm sure their boss also sees their unprofessional behavior.
Just remember to be yourself. Don't fall into a racial stereo type. Mostly, don't worry about what those black women say at work, or the white and asian women either. I got the impression they are playing you.
As I read your question, I begin to wonder if you examined yourself. Maybe you are treating the black women differently.You claim that the women would harass you for no reason, but have you examined your behavior. Maybe you are giving negative non verbal signals.

Well i am 26 year old and since last 2 years have been sitting at home because of an accident.i didn't suffer?
i didn't suffer any head injuries in the accident ,but the thing is since last month or so i have noticed decline in my intelligence ,i am very worried about it,is this decline permanent,how do i overcome it. i try to keep my self active by reading books,playing chess and interacting with people online and giving answers online ,solving puzzles,is that enough to ward off mental decline.thanks for your answers
i am asking this question again because i didn't get proper replies before.Well i am 26 year old and since last 2 years have been sitting at home because of an accident.i didn't suffer?
You Should See A Licensed Mental Health Consluoer they are good at these type of situationsWell i am 26 year old and since last 2 years have been sitting at home because of an accident.i didn't suffer?
Can you add in some more details about the accident?
Try to read books, get out of the house, socialize with other people, just stuff to stimulate the mind.
well maybe physically you didnt get damaged, maybe mentally.
But it could be permant it depends wat kind of accident you where in.
its good to keep yourself active, just keep doing that.
And im better sure of you went to the doctor if they didnt find anything wrong with you, then its probably not permant at all.

Could you marry someone of a different political persuasion?
..Or date someone who is at the other end of the political spectrum?
Do you find major differences between conservatives and liberals? (lifestyle, interacting with people, outlook on life, etc). I ask because I usually find conservative %26amp; liberal women to be signifigantly different in many ways. Sometimes in ways that really effect how they go through life..
OpinionsCould you marry someone of a different political persuasion?
As long as she believes the world is older than 5000 years and doesn't watch Glenn Beck.
Politics do not matter, but I couldn't stand someone who has their head in the sand.
I've never found a single person with the exact views as myself. However when I date someone our views tend to meld over time. I like debating in a civil way. It makes life more interesting.
EDIT: To the person below me: ';There is NO evidence supporting an OLD earth and much to imply a young earth';
There is mountains and mountains of evidence, and not one example that contradicts evolution or a planet which is billions of years old. I understand the chemistry, biology, and mathematics behind evolution. It is not a dissenting view, it is the only view that an educated and person can possibly have if they don't delude themselves. It's like not believing in cell theory, or the theory of gravity.
All I have ever seen in support of 'young' Earth is pseudoscience by hacks who are relying on their audience's ignorance.Could you marry someone of a different political persuasion?
No. I'm too much of a political junkie for that to work.
Uh yeah... I don't care that much. As long as she's not one of those wacky bible thumping cons, we wouldn't have a problem. I also need her to know evolution is fact because I don't like dating idiots.
It depends, if they are too into politics than no. but if they are not that into it that yea
I as an atheist dated a religious catholic conservative girl.
Didn't seem to bother us that much really
I did once around the time of Nam. He was a tree hugging liberal who burned a draft card. He called it conscientious objection, I call it cowardice. I met a real man and followed him to Nam. Glad I did.
My friend recently commented ';I find liberals to be annoying and conservatives selfish';. I don't really see a difference in personality but I can tell by the way they look. If you show me some one when they are tired or frustrated I can tell you their political leanings (in American politics). Libs and conservatives just get look different in those conditions. Its really quite neat,
Of course nobody will ever agree on everything, but I do feel it is important to at least share some of the same values, outlooks and morals in order to have a healthy relationship with anyone.
Sure can my husband and I are on the complete opposite side politically, we hardly ever see eye to eye and just agree to disagree.
Communists and socialists are the scum of the earth !
It depends why you hold that political persuasion,.
If your political views spring from deeply-held moral convictions, then most likely you would not tolerate a soulmate who advocated against those beliefs and fought against everything you believed to be good and proper.
I have seen enough of the gestation and birth process to know that life begins at conception and is human and sentient from the start. This, for anyone who understands it, would require that any medical procedure on a pregnant woman be aimed at preserving BOTH the mother AND the child. I could never consider being good friends with -- much less marrying -- an abortion activist.
If my wife had aborted our child, I would probably never have touched her again. Our marriage would have soon become untenable.
Take the evolution debate, for example, as posters answering this question have pointed out....
By their own admission they cannot tolerate a dissenting point of view in their households on certain issues. There is NO evidence supporting an OLD earth and much to imply a young earth, yet you get this ';evolution is a fact'; rhetoric a lot.
I had a dear friend who was Chinese and a devout communist, though she didn't really understand the term communism... , and we wanted very much to seek each other's affection, but there is a problem. She is an Atheist, and I was a Sunday School teacher at the time. It could never have worked out well. Who would teach the children why we have morals? or even what those morals are?
During that time, I met a young lady who had recently returned from teaching school for missionaries' kids in South America. We started chatting in various languages, and eventually we married. Today, we have a 5-year-old girl who is well-advanced in school and wants to give away some of her favorite dresses to children she will never meet in foreign countries, just because she wants them to hear about Jesus. I couldn't be more pleased.
No, I really don't think left could marry right, or vice versa, unless one or both were just looking for a political view to fit the way they wanted to live. Then, ANYthing goes.
As long as she cooks and cleans who cares
If a republican man dated a liberal girl it may work out. This year may be different, it seems mostly all liberals hate conservatives no matter what. Liberal females are more needy, Liberal men are more needy. Conservatives are more independent .
It really depends on if they are willing to listen. I make sure to listen to everything the people on the opposite side say in an unbiased manor, seeing it from their perspective before debating or agreeing with it. Therefore, I would expect my significant other to be able to do the same. As long as we can actually debate, and find a way to meet in the middle rather than arguing, it doesn't bother me much, because someone who realizes how to do this truly cares for America first, and their political preferences second. That's the way it should be.
Love doesn't have political aspirations.
I hope you know this. :0)
Do you find major differences between conservatives and liberals? (lifestyle, interacting with people, outlook on life, etc). I ask because I usually find conservative %26amp; liberal women to be signifigantly different in many ways. Sometimes in ways that really effect how they go through life..
OpinionsCould you marry someone of a different political persuasion?
As long as she believes the world is older than 5000 years and doesn't watch Glenn Beck.
Politics do not matter, but I couldn't stand someone who has their head in the sand.
I've never found a single person with the exact views as myself. However when I date someone our views tend to meld over time. I like debating in a civil way. It makes life more interesting.
EDIT: To the person below me: ';There is NO evidence supporting an OLD earth and much to imply a young earth';
There is mountains and mountains of evidence, and not one example that contradicts evolution or a planet which is billions of years old. I understand the chemistry, biology, and mathematics behind evolution. It is not a dissenting view, it is the only view that an educated and person can possibly have if they don't delude themselves. It's like not believing in cell theory, or the theory of gravity.
All I have ever seen in support of 'young' Earth is pseudoscience by hacks who are relying on their audience's ignorance.Could you marry someone of a different political persuasion?
No. I'm too much of a political junkie for that to work.
Uh yeah... I don't care that much. As long as she's not one of those wacky bible thumping cons, we wouldn't have a problem. I also need her to know evolution is fact because I don't like dating idiots.
It depends, if they are too into politics than no. but if they are not that into it that yea
I as an atheist dated a religious catholic conservative girl.
Didn't seem to bother us that much really
I did once around the time of Nam. He was a tree hugging liberal who burned a draft card. He called it conscientious objection, I call it cowardice. I met a real man and followed him to Nam. Glad I did.
My friend recently commented ';I find liberals to be annoying and conservatives selfish';. I don't really see a difference in personality but I can tell by the way they look. If you show me some one when they are tired or frustrated I can tell you their political leanings (in American politics). Libs and conservatives just get look different in those conditions. Its really quite neat,
Of course nobody will ever agree on everything, but I do feel it is important to at least share some of the same values, outlooks and morals in order to have a healthy relationship with anyone.
Sure can my husband and I are on the complete opposite side politically, we hardly ever see eye to eye and just agree to disagree.
Communists and socialists are the scum of the earth !
It depends why you hold that political persuasion,.
If your political views spring from deeply-held moral convictions, then most likely you would not tolerate a soulmate who advocated against those beliefs and fought against everything you believed to be good and proper.
I have seen enough of the gestation and birth process to know that life begins at conception and is human and sentient from the start. This, for anyone who understands it, would require that any medical procedure on a pregnant woman be aimed at preserving BOTH the mother AND the child. I could never consider being good friends with -- much less marrying -- an abortion activist.
If my wife had aborted our child, I would probably never have touched her again. Our marriage would have soon become untenable.
Take the evolution debate, for example, as posters answering this question have pointed out....
By their own admission they cannot tolerate a dissenting point of view in their households on certain issues. There is NO evidence supporting an OLD earth and much to imply a young earth, yet you get this ';evolution is a fact'; rhetoric a lot.
I had a dear friend who was Chinese and a devout communist, though she didn't really understand the term communism... , and we wanted very much to seek each other's affection, but there is a problem. She is an Atheist, and I was a Sunday School teacher at the time. It could never have worked out well. Who would teach the children why we have morals? or even what those morals are?

I茅 played all the Sims 1 and Sims 2 games, and am now awaiting the Sims 3. It is gong to be soooo freaking awesome man, you should get it. I am, and am soo excited. Anyways, it's really simple, they speak simlish, but what they say is not important, so you dont need to understand their language. Enjoy the Sims 3. Happy Simming

How can I make interacting with people less stressful?
I am in the communications field ... I just kind of fell into it. I have excellent written communications skills and good judgement, as well as good technical know-how. So, I DO have many skills that are vital in my department. HOWEVER, networking, public speaking and talking to media all make me really stressed out. I can do it if I must, but I hate it every single time and it generally makes my life miserable when I have to do these things. How can I get rid of the anxiety so its easier to do this part of my job?How can I make interacting with people less stressful?

Can you please tell me about Africa in the year, 1400?

*education
*family life
*class structure (poor, rich, nobles, slaves, etc...)

G'day Heiress,
Thank you for your question.
With the exception of North Africa, little is known about Africa at approximately 1400. There are certainly few written sources. If I were you, I would start looking through books for the information. There probably aren't many websites on the topic.
In the 8th, 9th and 10th centuries the Arabs in Africa were numerically weak, holding the countries they had conquered only by military superiority; but in the 11th century there was a great Arab immigration, resulting in a large absorption of Berber culture. Even before this the Berbers had very generally adopted the speech and religion of their conquerors. Arab influence and the Islamic religion thus became indelibly stamped on northern Africa. Together they spread southward across the Sahara. They also became firmly established along the eastern seaboard, where Arabs, Persians and Indians planted flourishing colonies, such as Mombasa, Malindi and Sofala, playing a role, maritime and commercial, analogous to that filled in earlier centuries by the Carthaginians on the northern seaboard. Until the 14th century, Europe and the Arabs of North Africa were both ignorant of these eastern cities and states.
The first Arab invaders had recognized the authority of the caliphs of Baghdad, and the Aghlabite dynasty鈥攆ounded by Aghlab, one of Haroun al-Raschid's generals, at the close of the 8th century鈥攔uled as vassals of the caliphate. However, early in the 10th century the Fatimid dynasty established itself in Egypt, where Cairo had been founded AD 968, and from there ruled as far west as the Atlantic. Later still arose other dynasties such as the Almoravides and Almohades. Eventually the Turks, who had conquered Constantinople in 1453, and had seized Egypt in 1517, established the regencies of Algeria, Tunisia and Tripoli (between 1519 and 1551), Morocco remaining an independent Arabized Berber state under the Sharifan dynasty, which had its beginnings at the end of the 13th century.
Under the earlier dynasties Arabian or Moorish culture had attained a high degree of excellence, while the spirit of adventure and the proselytizing zeal of the followers of Islam led to a considerable extension of the knowledge of the continent. This was rendered more easy by their use of the camel (first introduced into Africa by the Persian conquerors of Egypt), which enabled the Arabs to traverse the desert. In this way Senegambia and the middle Niger regions fell under the influence of the Arabs and Berbers.
Islam also spread through the interior of West Africa, as the religion of the mansas of the Mali Empire (c. 1235-1400) and many rulers of the Songhai Empire (c. 1460-1591). Following the fabled 1324 hajj of Kankan Musa I, Timbuktu became renowned as a center of Islamic scholarship as sub-Saharan Africa's first university. That city had been reached in 1352 by the great Arab traveller Ibn Battuta, whose journey to Mombasa and Quiloa (Kilwa) provided the first accurate knowledge of those flourishing Muslim cities on the east African seaboards.
Except along this seaboard, which was colonized directly from Asia, Arab progress southward was stopped by the broad belt of dense forest, stretching almost across the continent somewhat south of 10掳 North latitude, which barred their advance much as the Sahara had proved an obstacle to their predecessors. The rainforest cut them off from knowledge of the Guinea coast and of all Africa beyond. One of the regions which was the last to come under Arab rule was that of Nubia, which had been controlled by Christians up to the 14th century.
For a time the African Muslim conquests in South Europe had virtually made of the Mediterranean a Muslim lake, but the expulsion in the 11th century of the Saracens from Sicily and southern Italy by the Normans was followed by descents of the conquerors on Tunisia and Tripoli. Somewhat later a busy trade with the African coastlands, and especially with Egypt, was developed by Venice, Pisa, Genoa and other cities of North Italy. By the end of the 15th century Spain had completely removed the Muslims, but even while the Moors were still in Granada, Portugal was strong enough to carry the war into Africa. In 1415 a Portuguese force captured the citadel of Ceuta on the Moorish coast. From that time onward Portugal repeatedly interfered in the affairs of Morocco, while Spain acquired many ports in Algeria and Tunisia.
Portugal, however, suffered a crushing defeat in 1578 at al Kasr al Kebir, the Moors being led by Abd el Malek I of the then recently established Saadi Dynasty. By that time the Spaniards had lost almost all their African possessions. The Barbary states, primarily from the example of the Moors expelled from Spain, degenerated into mere communities of pirates, and under Turkish influence civilization and commerce declined. The story of these states from the beginning of the 16th century to the third decade of the 19th century is largely made up of piratical exploits on the one hand and of ineffectual reprisals on the other. In Algiers, Tunis and other cities were thousands of Christian slaves.
As for southern and eastern Africa, there is little available on the Internet. If I were you, I would speak to your university library or your lecturer/tutor.
I have attached sources for your reference.
RegardsCan you please tell me about Africa in the year, 1400?
continent not a county but they did have nobles and slaves, in some parts of africa at least
Look it up on wikipedia and you'll have more of a definitive answer than here. Also, I'm not going to do your homework for you.
hey, cremedelacreme gave some good insights, but we do know of many things that happened in Africa around1400 before the Europeans started pushing for the coasts of Africa slowly after the 1500s led by the Portuguese and followed by others. Firstly there is wide resoruces about North Africa, so I'll leave that out, you can find your own way there.
West Africa, the ruling Empire in Ghana was the Ashantis who had gained power from slightly northern empires as the Ashantis had gold on their lands and sold it off to the arab traders. also the hausas were powerful in northern nigeria, not to mention the fulanis, etc, just look at the history of some of these peoples. The strength of these kingdoms, and their numerical force made it impossible for West Africa to be colonised (like for example accross the Atlantic, Brazil was fastly being settled by the Portuguese).
the Ashantis are still matrilinear in heritabe and power, check them out for gender roles in your study. this means that it's the mother's blood line that is the royal line, though kigs rule, queen mothers are the king makers.
Education is easiest to discuss, since only in the arab influenced areas of Africa and in Ethiopia was there a written educational system of both religious and other teachings. All other parts of Africa were based on oral tradition, natural religions and various religious and medical orders that were passed on. Some crafts were taught within the royal towns, such as cloth weaving (all accross africa), jewelry, bronze making etc.
but I still say better find out yourself, there are lots of books on the subject if you venture deep enough.

I just got live journal, where do I start?
I know how live journal works, as I often looked through it without having an account.
I recently made an account, but I'm not sure how to start doing things (like interacting with people).
None of my friends have Live Journal, so I don't have any people to add.
Should I join a community? Should I look up people on interests and add them?
Thank you in advance :)I just got live journal, where do I start?
Don't just add random people based on common interests. They may report you in suspicion that you are a spambot. Random adds are highly frowned upon.
If you're looking for friends, there are several ways to find some that will actually be interested in you and interact with you.
1. First try joining some ';add me'; communities. Search for ';add me'; in the interests, pick a few active communities, and follow the directions on the profile.
2. Look for active communities related to your favorite music and/or television shows that you would like to get updates about. Every few months, many (but not all) of these communities often have what's called a ';friending meme.'; This is a post where you can post a little profile of yourself and your interests in the comments of a post. People will reply and ask to friend you, and you can reply to other people's comments. This is a great way of finding friends because you get a chance to be friends with people who are actively interested in what you are.
Aside from finding friends, join any interesting communities in general. Comment on recent posts in those communities. Lurk around for a month or two to get a sense of LiveJournal etiquette and culture before making any posts yourself.

How much time do you devote to Yahoo Answers on a daily basis & why?
I LOVE to interact with people, so I devote my break time from webmastering to it when I can. I LOVE to hear answers of others, their views are so rich. I also like to help others, especially in Home %26amp; Garden, Health, and other areas.How much time do you devote to Yahoo Answers on a daily basis %26amp; why?
I spent 6 hours a day in here. I'm hoping to learn something I didn't know about.How much time do you devote to Yahoo Answers on a daily basis %26amp; why?
lol i dont rele devote time or anything but i go on it wen im bored..and thats a lot
At least an hour a day. I enjoy it.
not really much. i go on myspace forever is wat my friends think.
I don't ';devote'; time to it, but I'm on here a lot. I get bored at work and spend most of my work day on here. How sad, huh?
sometimes 20min sometimes an hour, depends on how board i am
I don't devote a specific time to Yahoo - just when I happen to be bored and the moment strikes me.
5 minutes. just for kicks.
well, if i do go on between 10-30min, only when i am bored thoe
When I get bored, I go onto Yahoo Answers. Unfortunatly, I become addicted and stay on for several hours.
same as you
I don't actually devote time daily. I do like to check on answers I have on my watch list. I am also trying to reach level 4 since I am so close. I usually log on when I'm bored. I live in a new town and don't have much else to do since work has kept me from exploring my new environment much.
How much time I spend here varies. Right now I'm taking a break from paperwork. I plan to only spend about 30 minutes or so. Other times I'll stay on until I'm cut off! Depends on the quality of the questions. Some days there is nothing but nonsense and it isn't even humorous.
I couldn't say really. It's not a definite thing to me.
Maybe about 20-30 minutes a day.
I've really become hooked on answering questions in the ';education'; division. As a teacher, it is so easy to get caught up in listening to all the negative P.R%26gt; the education sysytem recieves. If I can use one of my outlets to pass on a little bit of ';positive outlook'; about teaching, hey!, what a deal.
No time devoted really, just when I'm waiting for a phone call or nothing better to do ... things of that nature
I would say 1 to 2 hours it's kind of addictive, it's so interesting.

How much time I spend here varies. Right now I'm taking a break from paperwork. I plan to only spend about 30 minutes or so. Other times I'll stay on until I'm cut off! Depends on the quality of the questions. Some days there is nothing but nonsense and it isn't even humorous.
I couldn't say really. It's not a definite thing to me.
Maybe about 20-30 minutes a day.
I've really become hooked on answering questions in the ';education'; division. As a teacher, it is so easy to get caught up in listening to all the negative P.R%26gt; the education sysytem recieves. If I can use one of my outlets to pass on a little bit of ';positive outlook'; about teaching, hey!, what a deal.
No time devoted really, just when I'm waiting for a phone call or nothing better to do ... things of that nature
I would say 1 to 2 hours it's kind of addictive, it's so interesting.
Seriously considering isolating myself from people...help?
I'm not going to deny that I've always found it hard to establish friends from as long as I can remember. And I'm not going to whine that I don't have any friends whatsoever, because that's not entirely true. But I find that I don't actually have that many, at least ones that I trust. I feel as though that the majority of my ';friends'; are only interested in making me the butt of their jokes and ganging up on me due to my body shape. I know that they don't do it spitefully, but they always go way too far to the point where they start actually hurting me, physically and mentally, and once very nearly drowned because of it. I'm seriously considering shutting myself away at home and interacting with people as little as possible. I know it's not the right thing, but at the moment it's what I'd really like to do. If anyone knows how to deal with these friends, or how to go about keeping myself to myself, either suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I can't cope much longer anymore.Seriously considering isolating myself from people...help?
I understand what you're saying, about the joking and teasing. Try to go along with it and joke back, don't take things too seriously or they'll do it for the reaction from you. If they really do it in excess, talk to them and let them know how it is effecting you. If they tease you more when you do this; they're not your friend and definitely not worth your time. Shutting yourself away will only make things worse, and if it gets to the point where you really feel that way, you might consider going to a therapist, it really does make thing better. Try to build up your self confidence in the meantime and don't let yourself be friends with people that hurt you.Seriously considering isolating myself from people...help?
tell those pieces of spit that your body type is just fine with you and they need to mind their business
the next time something wrong comes out their mouthes not only will the relationship be over but so will their lives
you need to threaten people
get what you want with violence
mild violence
dont like go to school with a gun or knife but shake them up a bit
and listen to redrum is murder by a beautiful lotus and bodies by drowning pool
theyll know to be respectful
Those friends aren't right for you. Don't stay at home. Ditch the friends you have now...go out and find some new ones. I'll be your friend! :-)
It isn't that you should isolate yourself from everyone, just the people that harass and bully you.
99% of people out there may not like you, but that 1% or even .1% could be very fun to hang around.
you just have to find them.
I understand how you feel and I suffer from depression and it is always easier to be indoors but I have a big family and the medication helps and being alone and isolated gets to you its safer but its really unhealthy because you need to get outdoors and interact with people and the bullying part I suffered also as a child and through my adult life I have left friends because they have used me and taken advantage I would suggest volunteering or church they need you and god loves you even if you don't believe it want to hear it therapy for you and change your life I believe you will find a happy medium and schooling is important its life lessons that you learn everyday and there are really good people out there
All of them sound like a bunch of losers who take pride in makin fun of people. Don't isolate yourself from everyone because of a few random idiots.
Your REAL friends, wouldn't make you the butt of their jokes and ganging up on you. They may think it's funny and they are only playing around, but you need to speak up for yourself and tell them exactly how you feel. If you loose them as friends, what has that told you -- they were'nt your real friends in the first place. We all go through this, and it does hurt; my son does it to his friends, and he says ';Mom, he knows we're only kidding';. I know it hurts, been there, so I told him, you may see him laughing and going along with it, but it really hurts his spirit and how he perceives himself. You need to find positive friends who like you for you and things you have in common with them. Join some clubs, find a hobby. Sooner or later, you will find the ';right'; people to hang with you will like you for you.hair gel

Found cat, and how many days to wait before calling a shelter鈥?
For the past two days a cat has been hanging around the back of the house. We believe it is the same cat that was found by neighbors in the area. The sign for it was taken down so not sure. The cat seems to be very friendly, and interacting with people. Looked in the paper, and online found nothing yet of anyone missing a cat like this. Wondering what to do to bring it to a No Kill Shelter? How many days should we wait? Thanks for the feedback.Found cat, and how many days to wait before calling a shelter鈥?
Could you put up signs saying you found it? Seems like that would be a good way to 'advertise'. I think I'd do that before taking it to the shelter since shelters are normally so crowded to begin with. They may not want another mouth to feed.Found cat, and how many days to wait before calling a shelter鈥?
If it's a no-kill shelter I'd bring it there right away. That's the first place the owners would come looking for it. Plus it might be microchipped so they could get it quickly back to its owners. And if no one comes looking for him at least someone can adopt him and get him off the streets. How would you feel if you saw his dead body in the street because you waited?

Is this fact about women true?
Women are not actually attracted to men. There is a vague idea of what a man is physically, and some are better than others aesthetically speaking, but the purely physical appearance of a man is almost inconsequential unless he is horribly ugly or outrageously attractive.
Women are attracted to status, money, how much a man smiles and laughs, how many friends and resources a man has, how full a man's life is--how many ';cool,'; ';exciting'; and prestigious things he is doing or connected to.
They are interested in how other people view him--how many people want to be around him, how other people interact with him and whether their interactions convey that he is special and amazing. They want him to be extremely outgoing and aggressive, they want him to demonstrate his status over other people by dominating them in various non-violent ways.
A woman's attraction to a man is a function of her jealousy at the thought of another woman having that man. She doesn't care who he actually is or EXACTLY what he looks like physically, she only cares about the VALUE of the life he has constructed around himself.
A woman basically is a greedy materialistic prostitute. Although that sounds vulgar, it's true. She trades her physical self to buy into the success a man has created for himself.Is this fact about women true?
Depends on the woman. Different people are attracted to different things, even when it comes to personality, appearance, and financial situations. As for this whole ';women not actually attracted to men'; thing, that's bogus (unless she's a lesbian, but I'm assuming you're referring to straight women here). All people are susceptible to what they find beautiful, what one person finds attractive might be mediocre or repulsive to another. But woman are attracted to a man's physical appearance as well as his personality. And about this money thing, only gold diggers would run with someone based purely off cash. Not all women are whores.Is this fact about women true?
Sure, and men are attracted to brains, not boobs.
Yeah, your name really tells what you are...
Untrue and incredibly offensive.
ha, that was quite interesting to read.
But I cant agree with it.
Well what are you going to do without them?

For teachers or other academic/smart people... what do you think of my essay?
This is an essay based on a passage from ';Moral Man and Immoral Society';. The questions that needed to be addressed are:
What is your reaction to Niebuhr’s perception of the relationship between individuals and society? Do you agree with his “highest ideals” of each; if not, what might they be? How would you propose addressing the tensions and aspirations he articulates? How might this apply to your experience reconciling your inner life with a community of which you are or have been part?
If you want the passage it is:
“A realistic analysis of the problems of human society reveals a constant and seemingly irreconcilable conflict between the needs of society and the imperatives of a sensitive conscience. This conflict, which could be most briefly defined as the conflict between ethics and politics, is made inevitable by the double focus of the moral life. One focus is in the inner life of the individual, and the other in the necessities of man’s social life. From the perspective of society the highest moral ideal is justice. From the perspective of the individual the highest ideal is unselfishness. Society must strive for justice even if it is forced to use means, such as self-assertion, resistance, coercion and perhaps resentment, which cannot gain the moral sanction of the most sensitive moral spirit. The individual must strive to realize his life by losing and finding himself in something greater than himself.”
I disagree with Niebuhr when he says that the “highest ideal” of the individual is unselfishness and that of the society is justice. This is an oversimplification, in which he places everyone into two groups, “the society” and “the individual”. He describes them as two separate entities, when in fact the society is comprised entirely of individuals. If every individual had the same goal of unselfishness, and pursued it with any success, then that would be the collective state of the society. I believe that everyone has different ideals and goals, which is why the “irreconcilable conflict between the needs of society and the imperatives of the individual conscience” exists. If not, then the leaders of the society could simply tell the individuals what to believe, and all conflict would cease. Of course this has been attempted time and time again, which is central to Niebuhr’s reference to the “inner life of the individual and… the necessities of a man’s social life” being separate. The society can try to push its ideals and goals on an individual, in which case he will never truly adopt them as his own. This begins the conflict between the natural inclinations of humans and what they profess to strive for in the name of society.
On a larger scale, not all societies have the same ideals either. But where does one society end and another begin? Every individual belongs to several societies that all preach different beliefs. For instance, a child might be Christian, and belong to that society, which teaches him one set of beliefs that may be completely conflicting of the ideals he is taught by his peers at school, a different society. On one hand he is influenced by people at church, who teach him to believe in God, Jesus, and Heaven. He believes that if he breaks the Ten Commandments, and sins, he will be damned to an eternity in Hell. This idea is reinforced by his parents and family, another society. However, when he goes to school, he interacts with people of different religions and beliefs that inevitably and unconsciously penetrate his state of thought and belief.
The conflict between inner goals and societal rules exists everywhere, in almost everyone, on different levels. For example, I am not an athlete. Being on a sports team is fun, and I enjoy the camaraderie and friendship that comes with being on a team, but I do not plan to be an athlete, or continue competitive sports after high school. So why do I play them? Although I find it to be time better spent pursuing music, or something I am truly passionate about, the society tells me that I have to play sports to get into college. Society says that if I don’t play sports, I don’t have a “normal” teenage, high school experience. Adults believe that I am essentially marking a giant, red, “X” on my application for all potential colleges. As a result, I have always conformed to the societal ideal of playing sports, and fitting in.
In another scenario, a devout Christian is elected as ruler of a country, and it is his job to unite the society over which he presides. This doesn’t seem like a difficult task, but it is, because the large society is comprised of multitudinous smaller societies, whose beliefs and ideas conflict. There are too many divisions characterized by religion, economic class, ethnicity, etc. that all teach different values. The leader has few options. One is to force all of the citizens to convert to Christianity. This has been attempted several times throughout history, and the resulFor teachers or other academic/smart people... what do you think of my essay?
Well, I'm actually applying to Bard College at Simon's rock, too. And to be honest your essay wasn't so bad since it did go out side of the box for ahat was being asked. Yet it was way to philosophical and you should add more detail. But over all not bad... Good Luck on getting accepted :-)

Does your baby like been held by other people? please help :-(?
Particularly people they don't see often?
I ask because im getting quite worried about my daughter, she is 22 weeks old. She is such a happy girl, full of smiles and giggles and coos etc but as soon as anyone holds her she gets hysterical!!!!
She has been like this since about 12 weeks old. We don't have any family so she has never had the whole been passed about by family etc. We do have friends but most of the visits where when she was younger and didn't understand anyway. Anyway im out and about everyday visiting friends, shopping, baby group and start swimming this week but i don't see what else i can do to help her?
She will quite happily sit with me or daddy and smile at people and chat to them but as soon as they hold her she gets so upset, i have tried walking out of the room and letting her cry it out but she gets to the point where she is hysterical and no body likes seeing there baby like this.
I don't think she is clingy because i can leave her to play on her own sometimes for up to 1 hour without so much as a moan, she is very good like that and doesn't really like to be held a lot apart from when tired.
I was a very shy kid, i never interacted with people but surely that shouldn't be affecting her at this age!!?
I just don't know what to do to help her. Its getting me down a bit as i know i cant ever leave her with a babysitter and i feel like im totally alone in this as all the baby's i have met have no problems with been picked up.
Are any of your baby's like this or where like this? How can i or did you combat it?
Im so stressed about it and i also feel guilty for the person who is holding her as they think its them and its not!!!
I know i cant have the perfect baby she sleeps through and loves her food and is so happy if left alone but i don't want her to be scared of everyone she meets!!!! HELP please :-( thankyou xxDoes your baby like been held by other people? please help :-(?
it might just be because she doesn't know them very well. my daughter is almost 8 months and she will cry like crazy with people she has only seen a few times. she might not trust them. it's very normal for babies to cry when people hold them. let them continue to hold them more and more as long as they are okay with it. my daughter would cry a lot and want me to hold her. but i walk away and she stops. she is very close with me. so i guess try to walk away so she can't see you and if she stops she prob just wants you to hold her. but if you let the person hold them more she can start to trust them and know they wont hurt her. other then that i don't know what other reasons it could be.Does your baby like been held by other people? please help :-(?
my son was like that also,he didnt want anyone to hold him
when i give him to myfreinds he would start crying and wanted to come back to me
i know that you want your daughter to be hold my your freinds but i dont think its bad at all that she doesnt want people to be holding her
she feels safe with in your arms the first person she saw was you and thats why i think shes acting like that shes doesnt want any one else to hold her but you ( hope that helps )
my daughter was the same way for a little while she only wanted me to hold her and she would scream if anyone else did. it's normal she just wants her mom. pretty soon your baby will want anyone else when your baby gets older and more curious. enjoy it.
u should go out to motherclub and meet other mother and other babys my litter one was the same untill i went out to baby club i hope this help
In your baby's world, there are only two people:
Momma
and
Not-the-momma.
She likes the way you hold her, the way you smell, the way you talk--no one else does it like you.
If she doesn't want others to hold her, who can blame her? No one holds her like mommy! (except maybe daddy!)
Don't force her to go to others. She has the right to determine who holds her. Eventually, she may decide some other people are OK but until she learns to trust them, let her flirt and wave and coo at others from the comforting place in your arms.
My son was like this at first too. He needed to be held ALL the time, and *only* I could hold him, no one else. I never thought I would get anything done. I finally got a HotSling, and was able to get some things done. But, he eventually grew out of it. At about three months he was much more content to be left alone, or held by others.
Well, this is actually shows that she has a healthy attachment to you, frustrating as it may be. My son is and has always been pretty social, but he would and will wail if a someone besides my parent sor the ladies at daycare comes in and grabs him, as people tend to do with babies. He will accept a friend/family member holding him if they let him get used to him first. Also, maybe she is going to be shy-its not so bad, you said you were and you turned out fine. You shouldn;t feel bad. Babies want their parents, if they have kids they should know that. If you want to use a sitter, let a friend come over and spend time with her before you leave her with them.
I doubt other babies are as cool with being passed around as it seems, when we are frustrated everyone's lives seem easier. People tell me how friendly my kid is, and he prefers mommy!

it might just be because she doesn't know them very well. my daughter is almost 8 months and she will cry like crazy with people she has only seen a few times. she might not trust them. it's very normal for babies to cry when people hold them. let them continue to hold them more and more as long as they are okay with it. my daughter would cry a lot and want me to hold her. but i walk away and she stops. she is very close with me. so i guess try to walk away so she can't see you and if she stops she prob just wants you to hold her. but if you let the person hold them more she can start to trust them and know they wont hurt her. other then that i don't know what other reasons it could be.Does your baby like been held by other people? please help :-(?
my son was like that also,he didnt want anyone to hold him
when i give him to myfreinds he would start crying and wanted to come back to me
i know that you want your daughter to be hold my your freinds but i dont think its bad at all that she doesnt want people to be holding her
she feels safe with in your arms the first person she saw was you and thats why i think shes acting like that shes doesnt want any one else to hold her but you ( hope that helps )
my daughter was the same way for a little while she only wanted me to hold her and she would scream if anyone else did. it's normal she just wants her mom. pretty soon your baby will want anyone else when your baby gets older and more curious. enjoy it.
u should go out to motherclub and meet other mother and other babys my litter one was the same untill i went out to baby club i hope this help
In your baby's world, there are only two people:
Momma
and
Not-the-momma.
She likes the way you hold her, the way you smell, the way you talk--no one else does it like you.
If she doesn't want others to hold her, who can blame her? No one holds her like mommy! (except maybe daddy!)
Don't force her to go to others. She has the right to determine who holds her. Eventually, she may decide some other people are OK but until she learns to trust them, let her flirt and wave and coo at others from the comforting place in your arms.
My son was like this at first too. He needed to be held ALL the time, and *only* I could hold him, no one else. I never thought I would get anything done. I finally got a HotSling, and was able to get some things done. But, he eventually grew out of it. At about three months he was much more content to be left alone, or held by others.
Well, this is actually shows that she has a healthy attachment to you, frustrating as it may be. My son is and has always been pretty social, but he would and will wail if a someone besides my parent sor the ladies at daycare comes in and grabs him, as people tend to do with babies. He will accept a friend/family member holding him if they let him get used to him first. Also, maybe she is going to be shy-its not so bad, you said you were and you turned out fine. You shouldn;t feel bad. Babies want their parents, if they have kids they should know that. If you want to use a sitter, let a friend come over and spend time with her before you leave her with them.
I doubt other babies are as cool with being passed around as it seems, when we are frustrated everyone's lives seem easier. People tell me how friendly my kid is, and he prefers mommy!
my friends baby always falls asleep when i hold her
For outgoing people/people who aren't very shy?
How would you feel if you had been extremely shy all your life and it affected pretty much everything that had to do with socially interacting with people, like something so simple as asking for a piece of paper would make you nervous? Or getting very nervous and mixed up if someone asks you a question?For outgoing people/people who aren't very shy?
I used to be like that...it is anxiety and shaped the person that I became. You can outgrow it by forcing yourself to become more involved and you will see that those things you describe arent so terrible after all. There are anti-anxiety meds that work wonders and social anxiety therapy as well if you need it.For outgoing people/people who aren't very shy?
I'm one of the shy ones - oh how I would love to rid myself of shyness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!鈥?br>
BTW great question - I can't wait to read the answers!!
Hello people?????
As a small child up until I was about 16 I was very sky and hardly talked. Once I got out of the house and made friends. My shyness went away and now sometimes I can't shut up LOL

I have social anxiety how do other people deal with this problem ?
I have a social phobia that has gotten worse recently and not better. I used to very out going, I use to enjoy meeting new people and now I hate it. If I'm interacting with people related to my work, asking someone for directions, ect. . . no problem. But if it's a social situation I feel completely uncomfortable the whole time and can't wait to leave. This isn't how I used to be at all. I've been in therapy for other reasons and we have discussed this alot actually and I've taken medication. Nothing is really helping at the moment. My wife wanted to invite some people over to the house for dinner today I thought I was going to panic. I had to tell her no. What do other people do to help themselves?I have social anxiety how do other people deal with this problem ?
Maybe you need to identify what is bothering you when a social interaction occurs. What are you insecure about when a group of people approaches you? Are you maybe afraid of what they might say to you? Are you maybe avoiding the crowd because you're afraid of what they think of you? Considering you had therapy, you may have went over alot of things that we can offer you here. But nonetheless, identifying these can bring one step closer to getting over your social phobia. Only you would be able to know how it scares you.
edit: here's what I found:
Overcoming Social Phobia
Dealing with social phobia takes patience, courage to face fears and try new things, and the willingness to practice. It takes a commitment to go forward rather than back away when feeling shy.
Little by little, someone who decides to deal with extreme shyness can learn to be more comfortable. Each small step forward helps build enough confidence to take the next small step. As shyness and fears begin to melt, confidence and positive feelings build. Pretty soon, the person is thinking less about what might feel uncomfortable and more about what might be fun.

Well, one of my family members has the same problem and what she does a lot is role playing, or practicing for the upcoming social events. For some people it helps them feel more prepared for the event and acting it out first might help.
Good luck! :)
Whether you spas out or not you need to expose yourself to other groups of people. It's an essential part of life. The less you do it the worse you are going to get. Do the best you can. If you get stuck and don't know what to do follow what your wife does.
Has anything happened at a previous social gathering that might have affected you? Or has there been some event in your personal life? There must be some sort of trigger for this. I used to suffer badly from real panic attacks. An elderly lady I knew said that I should just think that I was no more or less interesting than anyone else in the room, and weirdly it seemed to help!

Medical Career that helps people (Nurses! Help)?
I want to help people out. I like interacting with people and seeing actual results. Is nursing a really good opportunity to give back and help the people? Anything else?
*Not one issue*
--parents want me to go out of state where I am not sure if I can get in the nursing program there
--good well known nursing program in state
--father doesnt know I consider nursing as career...just embarrassed as it is considered feminine
--is it looked badly upon guys as RNs?? I dont want to go into a career I can love but have everyone think I'm gay or not manly
So how bad are the stereotypes now adays?Medical Career that helps people (Nurses! Help)?
Hate stereotypes my dads best friend is a nurse hes one of the manlyest (i cnt spell lol) men iv ever met he was an EMT but went to nursing. Nursing is such a good profession theres so much need for it an always will I'm going to school for my RN i would say go for it i dont know where your located but theres a good nursing school in Chicago IL. if you dont want to go out of state go to a university in your state theres lots of university that have RN, LPN, LVN, MSN, BSN. you could always go get your MSN masters in science of nursing and become a nurse practitioner they can write prescriptions and can diagnose acute illnesses so you dont have to go to med school, talk to your dad about it its a great career. good luckMedical Career that helps people (Nurses! Help)?
Nurses are important and make good money. They also have the potential to exceed in the healthcare field. Your father should be proud that are considering a career in nursing. The thing is to get the experience first. I started out by being a cna. I work with elderly people with dementia and alzheimer's. I have learned so much. You might want to start off as that and see where it takes you. I wouldn't stay in that positions, just because the pay is little and the work is hard. This would be a perfect starter position, if you want to continue with your schooling.

Why do people act awkwardly around me?
can it be me? are they intimidated? how come i always feel like people feel and act awkward around me? i always feel like people are talking bad about me and thinking negative or just don't like me or pretend to..i honestly don't think its just insecurities, im a decent looking girl and i accept how i look and who i am..im a little shy though and tend to act ditsy.. i just lost my boyfriend and i have few friends i rarely go out anymore i just work 3 jobs. some days are better than others and ive never been so depressed and unhappy and its affecting me my life my relationships and my work( i work at a gym, a tanning salon and i waitress) so i am constantly interacting with people..how do i get out of this..Why do people act awkwardly around me?
i think your life is lacking direction.
and you are way to stressed with the break up and your jobs. why do you work so many?? why not just get one really gud job and stick with it. Maybe try change your body language and deff change your outlook on your self :D
hang out with the friends that you can be completely comfortable around and laugh alot with and build your relationships up. id say if possible quit atleast one of the three jobs and or get a really gud paying job. i also rekkon you should try and take time off and relax after the whole break up to.
xWhy do people act awkwardly around me?
It's how you choose to perceive them and their actions.
I think you're imagining some of this.
Throw caution to the wind, go out and meet some new friends. They don't have to be guys. Just find people to hang out with.
Self confidence is key. People react to the energy you put out. This may sound dumb, but look at yourself in the mirror or on a web cam and see what your normal facial expression looks like. You may be surprised. Smile more often than not. Play around and experiment. It can't hurt.
relax, if it seems like its everyone else, then its you. sorry to say it, maybe you just need to calm down just from you little message uptop you seem tightly wound.
I think you're doing too much. Jeez 3 jobs. Cut it down to 2 so that you have some personal time to yourself.
If your life is all about working its not balanced. You need time to rest, relax, and enjoy yourself. When your life is balanced there is time for work, play, friends, and romance. Find ways to make your life more balanced and not a slave to your paycheck. Strive to make yourself and your life happier.
Well because your shy they might act like that. I had the same problem when I went out and the way I got out of it was by saying hi and talking to people and it helped.
What do you want them to do?
you NEED to have a lot of self esteem and just don't think those things. if you have friends there your friends. if it is possible...quit one or your jobs and get out there a little more
People can pick up on these feelings. That maybe why they are acting different. If your feeling depressed, you give off an emotion, even though you don't notice it. Once you come to an understanding with your situation and start being happy with yourself, things will get better. I know that is easier said than done, but don't give up. You are a special person, even if you don't always feel like it. Don't work your life away. Take time to get some enjoyment and fulfillment in your life. Then things will turn around for you. Good Luck.
I read this once in a book: some ppl work alot and dont wanna just set and have nothing to do not to give them selves a chance and a time to thing about the past and prevent those bad memories from poping up in ther head by chance not to make it take over them and ruin ther moment.Dont worry everyone suffer from a problem and they dont wanna even try to change.So good for u tht u asked someone to help solving this problem:)

I'm 21 years old studying mba. but i'm very silent in nature. i'm unable to interact with the people around ?
me. regarding marriage i dnt hve special intrest on it. i'm not motivated to the boys of my class but motivated 2 one of my faculties who is of 26 yrs. i want him 2 concentrate me and also want 2 b friendly with him, but the situation is quite opposite i hve very less interaction with him. In between he left the job for doing his further studies, at the same time one of my frnd has been close 2 him. seeing her i too sent mails to him. and also sent missed calls by mistake. this created a bad impression of mine. now he returned to our collage and is taking our classes as a guest faculty but not my papers. i'm not interacting with him now. i feel depressed. i'm sure i'm not in love but some other liking. i want his attention towards me but how?I'm 21 years old studying mba. but i'm very silent in nature. i'm unable to interact with the people around ?
seduce him for sex then he will concentrate on youI'm 21 years old studying mba. but i'm very silent in nature. i'm unable to interact with the people around ?
You are over thinking. A miss call doesnt create bad impression.
If you want him to concentrate on you, you will need to interact with him. Find out academic questions and problems and just go to him. Dont feel shy.
All faculties love to listen to their students and pay attention to them.
well i guess ur r trying to woo a married guy .. b sure of tat first
if not
then get to ur nerves .. send him a mail stating that ur sorry if he'd a bad impression on u .. and tell him tat u wud lik to talk to him in person
if the result is positive
then go ahead try your ways to attract him
or leave him alone
pray god u get a guy lik u who'll neither talk to anyone nor know how to woo ..
anyways
wishes and good lucks
your silent nature is your beauty. make it your strength. you are as i think in love with him, but not focused, as you think you are silent. take it easy, as you have to be on your career. i suggest you straight talk him and make him your friend. just invite him on coffee and start saying that you need help on the study and project.

By not worrying what people think. 1st you don't really know what people are thinking. A lot of what others are and think are based off of their own insecurities. 2nd you can't really control what others think anyway.
You seem like a good person. You obviously are motivated, and seem ethical and want to do the right thing. That's all you can ask from yourself. Enjoy the different interactions with the people at work. You obviously interact with a variety of people and if that isn't entertaining I don't know what is :oP
Give a callout out to one of the friends you would like to see and take some time to enjoy yourself.
I only have a few friends, but they are people I trust and know that if there is a prob, we are all there. Its not the quantity, go for quality.
I think you deserve to pat yourself on the back, and say you are proud of yourself for being someone who wants to do the right thing.
Find a direction for yourself, and get busy :o)Why do people act akward around me?
be of what you are, don't let anybody affects or control you! live by what you are don't mind people around it can't!

Depressed people- Is this a normal response?
First, I have been depressed for many years. But I always managed.
Over the past year, my life changed. I lost a lot of people close to me in various ways (death; some just left me; etc). My job suddenly became more stressful and aggravating. I had some other personal issues. I'm not coping well. I've made plans on how I would get my sh!t together.
I haven't done it yet but I find that I'm scared of interacting with people now. It sounds paranoid but I fear someone taking advantage of me, using me, or somehow abandoning me. It's kind of understandable why I feel like this because it's what has happened all my life.
I know what I have to do to get out there. But I'm scared of doing it. When I meet someone new, a little voice in the back of my mind tells me to keep the person at bay. Be nice but stay distant. I am constantly spending my time trying to figure out what people's motives are and second guessing myself. Do other people go through this?Depressed people- Is this a normal response?
YES I think a lot of people feel that way sounds like you need to change your job, do something that you love to do and people can pay you for your education like a Hairdresser or Nail Tech a self-employed job......these jobs can be rewarding. Let your wall down and let people come in and take them for good and bad. Maybe you can help someone and that will be rewarding in itself.Depressed people- Is this a normal response?
u should make an appointment with a psychiatrist. you might need to be put on medicine. such as an anti depressant. anti depressants not only help with depression but they help with anxiety and worry.
I went through a period in my life where I was depressed. I was put on meds and now that I look back I feel like they made me worse. I have been through death and dealt with people that I feel screwed me over. Be who you are and keep your distance (its not a bad thing!) These days, the older you get, the harder it is to trust people. You are not alone and you are not crazy!

You've been my contact for a long time and during that time I've read a lot of your Q's %26amp; A's -as you have no doubt read my stuff %26gt;Over the past 6 months or so your Q's have gotten sadder and lonelier and caused me to worry about your safety and well being .
I have asked you to write me and you exercised your perogative and choose not to .OK
I cannot emphasize strongly enough to you how critically important it is to the rest of your life that you seek -out immediate treatment from a competent mental health professional for the issues that are causing you so much pain
MML%26gt;B-day sharer
There are a lot of good people in this section who honestly and truly feel your pain and worry about you as a result but as well meaning as we may all be we are not a substitute for a competent therapist%26gt;nor should we be
Good luck on your journey
since you have bad experience in the past and that seems to be holding you down, i think you are suffering from PTSD. or perhaps generalized anxiety disorder. do you have flash backs of bad memories and anticipative worry about how thing can go bad? that can be a sign of PTSD.

You've been my contact for a long time and during that time I've read a lot of your Q's %26amp; A's -as you have no doubt read my stuff %26gt;Over the past 6 months or so your Q's have gotten sadder and lonelier and caused me to worry about your safety and well being .
I have asked you to write me and you exercised your perogative and choose not to .OK
I cannot emphasize strongly enough to you how critically important it is to the rest of your life that you seek -out immediate treatment from a competent mental health professional for the issues that are causing you so much pain

There are a lot of good people in this section who honestly and truly feel your pain and worry about you as a result but as well meaning as we may all be we are not a substitute for a competent therapist%26gt;nor should we be
Good luck on your journey
since you have bad experience in the past and that seems to be holding you down, i think you are suffering from PTSD. or perhaps generalized anxiety disorder. do you have flash backs of bad memories and anticipative worry about how thing can go bad? that can be a sign of PTSD.

to make good friends that u can trust on is by being true to yourself and to that specific person, by being honest, by knowing the particular person before making him/her a friend/hanging out with that particular person.
First you should be a good friend to others.

Help! What is your opinion on this? Do you have any suggestions? Please!?
Plutarch’s belief of history is the most powerful over all the rest. He believed that character shaped history with the way people reacted to events and those around them. I believe in Plutarch’s view because, in my opinion, history is destiny. The destiny of our world is created by how people interact with others, how people act on rising issues, and how people respond to events - which all fall underneath the category of character. All in all, Plutarch’s stand on the basis of history is the most agreeable and sensible in my opinion.
First, the character of people affects the way people interact with others. This is true because character determines someone’s ability to get along or cooperate when in disagreement. If two groups of people can’t get along, it is because their negative character is coming in the way. With this kind of character, a rising issue is caused and a pretty good chance of a controversy begins. However, if two groups of people can get along and show respect for one another, it is because their character allows them to be positive and flexible- which both often help in creating a close to flawless history Either way, character determines whether or not an event occurs. The way two people or two groups of people interact with one another determines this as well as the future of themselves and those around them.Help! What is your opinion on this?

Your question did NOT ask for the information you wanted ... your asker's rating did however! If you want us to judge how well you wrote .. that's what you need to ask! Also, tell us your level of education so we can judge.
I'm totally with Beth, but want to add something: Asking our opinion on ';this'; was completely misleading. We needed orientation as to what it WAS, something like what you added after choosing the Best Answer!
I think Plutarch was a master of stating the obvious.
