Open Question: What can I tell this girl when she says this? Are there any contradictions?
There's this majorly attractive, witty, smart, friendly, understanding girl I know who has lots of friends. However, she makes things horrid for herself by always spouting she just isn't enough. Her motto? "There's always room for improvement." And this is her excuse to not recognize any of her qualities and make everyone else feel horrid purposely. She's extremely superficial and always points out who's "fat" (even though they're not), etc. I remember her saying how this annorexic boy we knew was "beautiful" and how he had "such form". And I said, "Well, do you think HE'S fat?" and she simply replies with, "there's always room for improvement." She's even superficial like this towards her own boyfriend. Come on, there's GOT to be some theory that eases up this harsh quote. Now, why would I waste my time on a person like this, you may ask? I honestly have no idea, but the contradictory vibe I am getting from her demands an explanation and possible solution. I guess in a sense she is correct, but there is a difference between progressive ambition and simply spouting self-hatred in order to get more compliments than she already does on a constant basis. Nothing and nobody is perfect, but there is always a point of satisfaction, and the concept of self-satisfaction does and will always exist. "There is always room for improvement..." I hate that quote for some reason. It may be partially true, but something seems wrong with it. Are there any legitimate arguments that may go against this or explain its' boundaries? Or is it just a matter of not being able to handle "the truth" on my part? Please and thanks. moreOpen Question: Would you do me a favor, pleease?

Last year I started dating my girlfriend. I met her my freshman year of college, and she was a senior in the local highschool. Stuff was great between us last year, but once half of the summer passed, we ran into problems. My Dad is a friend not just a father, so i vented to him about the issues. My girlfriend made some choices that even I was upset about, and I ended things with her. The first semester of school started, and we were not together. Her and I talked everything out, and have spent the first two months of this spring semester together. She is in college now, and I have to say that between my improvement on communication and her maturity from going to college, everything has been great. Its lke we can get down to the friendship and love we knew was there. I could not feel more confident or be more happy about what we have. I am home for spring break, and my Dad and I just got in a fight about my relationship. He said he doesn't trust her, that she is a whore, that I should make the right choice and dump her, that she is out to get me and has a grasp on me, and that he is extremely upset about my choices. He said that our father son relationship is fundamentally different now that I'm back with her. I spend so much wonderful time with my girl, she respects me, I get plenty of time with friends, we make choices from both sides of the relationship, and I know everything is going in a good direction. My Dad has cut off people for years. He rarely agrees with any of my relationships or sister's relationships. He has no social friends, and neither does my Mom, outside of work. I value my relationship with my Dad, but his level of aggression and disapproval with the situation scares me. Im afraid to lose his support as a person. I cannot and will not lose what I have with my girlfriend, she means the world to me. I have a good GPA, im going to Quantico to train to be a Marine Officer, Im self motivated, and every choice I have made in the past five years has been approved and praised by my parents. I don't know why their approval is so conditional, I hate that their love has standards, and that my Dad won't step out of his own shoes for a minute. I know he is looking out for me, but I am confident I am making the right choice. HOW DO I BALANCE EVERYTHING, WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY DAD. SHOULD I TELL MY GIRLFRIEND THE SITUATION? I HURT HER BY TELLING HER LAST YEAR THEY DIDNT LIKE HER, I DONT WANT TO DO IT AGAIN, BUT I WANT TO BE HONEST WITH HER. WHAT SHOULD I SAY TO MY DAD, OR SHOULD I JUST SEPERATE THAT PART OF MY LIFE AND LET TIME SHOW THAT I HAVE AN AMAZING GIRL WHO DESERVES TO BE FORGIVEN AND ACCEPTED. I ADMIRE AND LOVE HER SO MUCH. WHAT DO I DO??? moreResolved Question: My Dad hates my girlfriend, what do I do?

I'm wanting to join the army for many reasons but one of them is self improvement and to develop strong leadership skills. However I'm nor sure if I want to just be an infantry solider or an officer, it really depends on how my life goes if stay in the military or not. My question is basically how officer duties differs from solider duties, will there be any potential for leadership promotions as just an normal infantry solider and how will being an officer affect my relations with my fellow military personal(both higher and lower ranks). moreVoting Question: Does this sound more like Bipolar Disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder?
I am soon going to be going to a therapist to hopefully start getting me on a road to recovery, or improvement from my many mental problems I've had for the past few years. I'm almost 18 years old. From reading symptoms, I think I am BP or BPD. I have the following problems that are noticable by myself and some others: 1. rapid mood swings (6 or 7 a day, from "normal" to anger to euphoria and occasionally depression 2. I don't like being alone and try to control what other people do to try to avoid that 3. I self harm sometimes with anger (no, I don't cut or burn) 4. I have a terrible temper and get angry at everything thst gives me a problem but I can somehow do a 360 in a minute and calm down totally. 5. I am very paranoid 6. I get bored with most people easily and cut off contact with them after a while, they lose importance to me 7. I have terrible self esteem but will have surges in it sometimes and feel great about myself for a little while 8. I blow through money sometimes if not controlled, I just get urges to spend 9. I lose interest in activities/hobbies easily 10. I can't make my mind up on anything, I change political and religious views weekly sometimes, as well as career paths and future plans, and like for others to make decisions for me. To top this off I have unbearable anxiety and panic that almost prevents me from any public or social setting lately. Is this more like BPD or BP? The two seem so similar, I'm confused and would just like some opinions before I try to get a diagnosis. I don't want a diagnosis, just would be curious to know if I could possibly have one of these disorders, and which one it could possibly be. thanks..Another issue I have that seems wrong is that I can't take criticism. If I am criticized, it hits me for days and makes me feel worse about myself. moreVoting Question: A Reflective Self-Evaluation - Academic Engagement?

Hello people i would like to ask a question about the probationary period. It happens that 3 day after the end of my probationary period my manager extend it period for three more month. He asked me to sign a paper that i received the letter that talk about the extension of it. The date on the letter report the date of the end of probationary period. And i also sign a stu*id form bout a self-evaluation and any improvement during my probationary period. on it I wrote that I agree that i still have a some little thing to improve but i think that i am suitable for that job. The reason that he gave to me is bout it are that he need more time to get known me (during my probationary period more exactly one week before the end of it the former manger left and another one came instead of him) and that he consider unfair to decide for yes or not after a only week working together. I did not sign any new contract or anything which explicitly say that i agree with that extension of probationary period. i would like to add that during the period of new management everything changed, non of us feel comfortable to work with him, and it seem ( I said IT SEEM coz no one can really understand what is happening or what r his plan for the shop ) that his plans are to replace the current staff with the ones where he used to work before and that a staff member who worked almost 1 year with us resign after having a "quick talk" with him. the things i want to ask are 2 Is allowed to do what i did with me? and which trick he can play to kick me out? thanks. P.S. I am sorry for my English. AndreaIs he allowed to do what i did (extending the probationary period)? moreResolved Question: I won't be able to date until I turn 28. Would this be a problem?
This question might be pretty unusual to you, but I consider this as a serious problem. I am currently a premedical student preparing for medical school. Due to the excessive amount of studying, volunteering and researching, I wasn't able to have a relationship though I am 22 years old already. I briefly hung out with a girl when I was a sophomore (20 years old). Back then, I was too immature to date. We studied and ate together almost everyday for three months. There were many moments when this girl was sending me signals to kiss her, so we could move up to dating or perhaps a relationship from just hanging out, but I couldn't catch any of them. I was just utterly ignorant and immature about dating and having a relationship. After three months of effort, she was still with me, but I did something extremely foolish and immature, so she left me, and I learned my painful lesson. If I try to find a cause of my ignorance, it would be from my conservative family background, because I never saw my parents kissing or even hugging. Showing affection to someone is part of human behavior that needs to be taught by parents during one's childhood, but I didn't get to learn this behavior. I understand my problem and willing to work on this by meeting girls, but I am concerned about my age and maturity. By the time when I finish my preparation for medical school, I would be 23, and most girls who are in this age would be way more mature than I am. In fact, once I am in medical school, I may not be able to date girls because of heavy load of studying. I just don't know what to do.. I wish that I am a genius who can do dating and studying both at the same time, but I had to make a lot of self-improvement to become a competitive applicant for medical school. How would you deal with this problem if you are in my shoes? moreResolved Question: I am 22 and never had a relationship before. Would this be a problem?

Brain “Size 0” When women are put under pressure to become a size zero, they starve themselves thin. But it seems that they don’t just shed pounds, they shed brain cells as well. By allowing the media to control our body image, we give up on all ability to think for ourselves. The media always sets the bar too high, but not in the right way. They try to get women to achieve unrealistic goals. Trying to achieve the “perfect” body image isn’t only unhealthy, but it damages self-esteem and destroys your perception of your own body permanently. Almost every commercial or ad that we see today has a women’s body portrayed as an object, something that the viewer can obtain by buying the right diet pill or slimming black dress. Maybe buying that dress isn’t so bad; after all, it doesn’t alter your body physically. Plastic surgeons have experienced a business boom. Women are like kids in a candy store when it comes to the extensive array of “self-improvements.” From liposuction to tummy tucks to gastric bypass. Plastic surgeons are making promises only the Fairy Godmother could fulfill. Women get so much work done in the outside, that they leave their insides hallow. And as they grow more and more vain air begins to replace brain mass and mirrors begin to replace books. Women are never measured by intelligence, but by smallest waist size, most dazzling tan, and by the way our butt looks in those jeans. We chase that size zero not because we want to feel good in our own skin, but because we don’t know how not to. Beauty doesn’t come with looking like everybody else, and I know this is a cliché, but it comes from within. No woman is safe from the patriarchy. No matter who or where we are, it devastates us. When are we all going to see that, and come together to change it? moreVoting Question: TMJ assymetry and can't open more then 3 fingers.?
I am 18 years old now and have had tmj problems for about 2 and a half years. It started with clicking and cracking sounds and now I can't open my mouth more then three fingers and I see some assymetry in my mandible towards the affected side. Im depressed and this is supposed to be a happy time. I haven't gone to the dentist yet, I know thats stupid, but I have been to afraid that he will say I need surgery and I refuse to have it after everything I have read about it. I don't have any pain (knock on wood) but its starting to affect my life because I'm having a hard time eating and my self esteem is low because I notice an assymetry in the mirror. I dont want to live with this and I can't. I just don't know what to do. It all evolved from me biting my nails over a couple of years. If I just could turn back time.. Im missing out on so much and I constantly, every 5 second think about my jaw. I live in southern sweden and I don't know how well known TMJ is here. I want to know how much of an improvement I can have and what measures that have to be taken to get them. I am using hot and cold packs on my jaw and trying to do some exercises but I realize I need to go to the dentist. Nobody knows I have this problem, not even my mom dad or twin brother..

I have no motivation at all to lose weight. I used to care about losing weight, never gave up and maintained it between a 10 pound range.But I realize what's the point anymore. Why do I fret so much about my weight. So lately, I wasn't checking my habits, didn't care much about what I'm putting in, and it went increasingly over. People used to treat me badly so I started to lose weight. Now, I don't receive it so much now that I am older. But i still want to lose weight because I want to feel beautiful, I want to feel free that I can do anything in this world without the burden thought of my fatness that impedes me from it. I'm afraid of being thin. I'm afraid that once I become thin, I'll be this mean girl who thinks she's so beautiful and have so much pride in herself and will look down and compare herself to other girls. I'm afraid guys will start checking me out more just because I'm beautiful. I'm very aware the mind is powerful and it is how we perceive things to be. I'm wondering if my thinking is all wrong.Do I need a change of mind? If I continue my eating habits, I'm afraid I would be obese, unable to fit into my clothes, low energy. But I haven't gotten up there yet. So if I aim for fatness, I might feel so miserable that I would start to lose weight again. But I'm also thinking, if I should prevent it before it happens so my health won't decline. However, I have no motivation to do so. I want self-improvement for my health yet I have no motivation to do so. I don't care about guys and I don't care if I die. Is there something I can do? I don't understand my mind. moreResolved Question: is being a perfectionist or striving for too many things a bad mix with being married with 2 kids?
I am married with 2 kids and I always find myself thinking about how I can better myself- get in better shape, get bigger muscles, make more money, get another masters degree, get some type of certification that will help my career? Do you think that in general it is a mistake for such inward focused people that are constantly striving to do more and more and be better and better to get married and have kids when marriage and kids requires so much sacrifice? I love my family and I often find myself feeling bad about myself for the selfish feelings I have towards my own self improvement. Its too late now, but I wonder how you would advise people like me as to whether marriage and kids are a good fit for people with personalities like mine. moreResolved Question: I have a little extra tummy fat on the bottom of my tummy.?
I have been running for the past 3 months, a mile every morning and some ab workouts. I have seen improvements but I am still going crazy that it is there. I always have been self conscious about it and really want it gone before summer. Any extra advice or extra workouts I can do to help speed along the process would be awesome! Also, I am only 15 so please no diet pills or anything I would need to buy. moreResolved Question: Does love blossom in PhD programs? Or is everyone already married?
I am 31 yrs old. I have a BA and an MA. And its hard to meet women outside of bars (not my scene). Meeting women in school was relatively easy (at least in comparison to everywhere else). But now that I've been out for 3 yrs, its not so easy. I am always up for self improvement so I was thinking about going for my PhD. Is this a good way to meet women? Are they likely already married? Would I be better off just going back for another Masters? moreVoting Question: Depressed boyfriend using Oxycontin as self medication. What to do?
My boyfriend of 4 years has recently started using Oxycontin (and Roxies) this past September. At first, I thought that he was just doing it with his friends because they were giving it to him and it was a way for him to look "cool" in front of them. At first, on occasion, I would do some with him here and there but not nearly as much as he has been. I do not do them at all anymore. His friends give it to him for "free" or it seems to me that he sits around waiting for someone to just say "Here take some" As far as I've seen, he rarely asks but it's as if he expects it. I attempted to help him with an at-home detox the past 3 days. He had the typical withdrawal symptoms like RLS, insomnia, aches and pains and overall just feeling like shit. Just this morning (The 3rd day of detox) he began to really open up to me as to why he does the drugs. He told me that when he's not on them, he doesn't give a crap about anything. When he is on them, he's more productive, he eats, he goes to school etc. I have even noticed an improvement in the way that he treats me when he's on them. He expressed to me that he wants to still do them and he wants to do them so he can get through his day and be able to sit through school and get a degree. I sense he is seriously depressed. I suggested that he go see his doctor, tell him exactly how the Oxycontin makes him feel and how exactly he feels off of it and the doctor may be able to provide to him a better route of dealing with his obvious depression. (Which he doesn't think it is depression, he just calls it as not giving a shit...In which my response is, "That IS depression sweetie") He wants to continue the use until he sees the doctor this week. I have a really hard time determining what I should be doing about this. I don't want to sit back and watch him get deeper and deeper into the drugs. On the other hand, I want him to be successful. Has anyone had a similar experience as this either with a loved one OR have you been in my boyfriends shoes before? I need some insight from people that have been through this before. I love him dearly but I hope that he can face his real problems head on rather than sedating them. What can I do? moreResolved Question: Where is your Parts of Fortune? Is this true about you?
Part of Fortune in 1st House Part of Fortune in the First House suggests that your greatest success will come by developing independence and self-sufficiency - meeting life experience with individual initiative and not being dependent on the views of others.

Developing the ability to think clearly is what will bring your greatest fortune. Part of Fortune in 4th House The feeling for home and roots will be strong.

I am having problems in my marriage.?
Some of the problems are over the fact that he has two grown children (boy age 21 and girl age 19) and we sre still paying for their cell phones and the insurance on his daughter's car. The son has a good job and is out on his own (and recently bought a motorcycle) and the daughter refuses to get a job. My husband has went behind my back several times to get them what they want; first time took money that we needed and bought his son a car (at age 16), second co-signed for his son a lease on an apartment and the third time co-signed on his daughter a car. It seems there is no end and when I ask when we are going to stop paying for some of it, he brushes me off. The second part is that I am trying to do self improvement for myself like going to church, back to school and losing weight. He started accusing me of talking to a guy at school (i wasn't), he told me not to let the church come between me and him (I never push this on him). But worst of all when my father passed away here recently he accused me of flirting with the funeral director that a couple of days later got irate about me talking to my brother-in-law on the phone. I have been a very loving wife and have tried to the right thing in my marriage. I don't hang out with friends or party. Oh and the last thing was the other night he got a call that his son was very upset and acting nad over a breakup and he ask me to go with him. When we arrived at his son's place I got out of the car and his daughter said to me (yelling) "What the *@#* are you doing here, this has nothing to do with you it is between my brother, me, my dad and mom. You don't belong here you need to leave." I didn't say anything to her but started walking home. Later after a lot of commotion he dad pursued her to tell me she was sorry. Although I love his kids she has always kept her distance. I have tried to be good to her but I have always felt that she resented me, so I did not feel she was heartfelt. I understand that he is very protective of his kids but I feel that i'm being taking advantage of. I feel just saying sorry isn't good enough you have to prove yourself. I have been with my husband for seven years now and I'm not sure if this is fixable. Please give me some input. I want to forgive him but I don't feel like things are going to change.There are more details but this is the most of the issues. Thank you. moreVoting Question: Should I stay or should I go?
Thanks for reading. So it's come down to Yahoo answers... I feel like I can't ask any friends because they're all mutual friends. I've been with my boyfriend for almost two years now, but it's been quite... dramatic. I basically moved across the country to be with him after a few months of long-distance, and we moved in together at his suggestion in July (a year and a few months into the relationship). In the time before we moved in, I suffered severe depression (due to homesickness, hereditary depression and mild Asperger's Syndrome causing me to get incredibly upset over a large change). He was helpful although extremely critical, but I eventually got out of it myself. Although I rented my own place at this time, I was always round his house that he shared with other students and we all got on, so it's not like we didn't have a clue as to what living together would be like. Very very gradually, since we've moved in together, I've noticed more and more little annoyances about the relationship. Up until about two months ago, they were tolerable, but as I said it's been a steady increase so don't take that time mark as solid. In the last couple of months or so, I have become so upset about the relationship (usually after a row, once he's out of sight/earshot) that I have been overwhelmed by desperation and hopelessness that I have hysterically cried at great length, vomited and even self-harmed. It's not for his attention, in fact I keep a cool facade around him as best I can, I just feel that I must release it some way. I think about the relationship all the time and it can affect my concentration, depending on whether we're being friends or it's a really bad, hateful day. He is VERY stubborn and VERY critical, that is just the way he is to everybody but it seems to hit me the hardest and most often. Anyway, here are the basic condensed reasons I have to leave the relationship: His stubbornness. He is very hard to bend on things, and has an air of unfaltering self-righteousness. We argue. Lots. He is very good at arguing, be it about politics, gender differences (often in reference to ourselves), whatever. He gets quite aggressive, will not back down and will criticise me when I want to leave the argument to just keep the peace. He is incredibly quick to criticise me. Many a complaint I happen to bring up, even in passing conversation, is down to my personal fault. As I said before, he is very self-righteous, has clearly put a huge amount of thought into his opinions and morals and is so into self-improvement that it seems I am not allowed to even talk about anything I haven't completely thought over and considered to the point that I have as cast-iron and prophet-like a view on it as he does. He doesn't understand me. I know I sound like a teenage boy, but he really doesn't. I told him from the start that if he was going to get involved with even a mildly autistic person, he needs to do his research as there are some things that I'm not aware of that I can't just explain to him. He has not. A lot of the time we have conflicts that I am quite certain boil down to something that is to him, a social deficit, and to me, just the way I am. He's very ready to instead dub me as immature, neurotic etc etc. and basically hasn't bothered to learn how to effectively communicate with his own girlfriend, which can't be hard as I'm not a total Christopher Boone. I don't enjoy the sex any more. I feel uncomfortable looking or being "sexy" around him, and would rather just watch a film with him in my PJs than have sex (which is far too often based around his weird little fantasies which I far too often play along with). We only do it about once every week or two anyway, and when I try to talk about it he blames it on my being "adamant" not to be sexy. He told me a couple of weeks ago, when we were lying in bed about to go to Morocco together, that he didn't love me as much as he used to. He used to be crazy about me, but now it's just not as strong. He was being honest and sad about it, and for the record we got on wonderfully in Morocco, none of this negativity, but then our friend was also with us. We have nothing in common any more. I want to go to the pub, he wants to stay in. He wants to watch some shooty film, I want to watch some Danish art-house film. I hate Tool, he loves them and will play them and other music that actually makes me angry very often in my presence, over and over and over... Linked to this, it's the little things that really grind my gears. A silly example, he'll say the word "correct" with a loud T, and it will make me really annoyed! Lastly (as I can think of now) I yearn for singledom. I don't want to go out clubbing, I don't want to sleep around, I just want my life to be my own. I want my own bed and my own music and my own possessions and the feeling of going out for a walk and basking in glorious solitude and going back to my own haven. The reasons I want to stay: It moreResolved Question: Tell me I look like Brad Pitt. Or otherwise lather me with praise. Please?
If it's not obvious, the title of this question is slightly sarcastic in nature. Rather than asking to be rated, I'd like to ask *why* people ask to be rated - and then delete their question after receiving all around negative results. You're obviously confident enough to post pictures of yourself up on the Internet, so why are backing off because other people disagree with your own perception of yourself? I mean, the answer is relatively clear. People don't like negativity directed at themselves. They think that so long as they shrug off the answers they received before deleting their question as the responses of nasty, nasty "cyber-bullies", then they're absolved of their own physical deficiencies. What do other people think, though? Please, please, please! Don't misinterpret what I'm saying! I've got no problem with people who are actually insecure about themselves, who are actually seeking self-improvement in terms of their physical appearance and their fashion sense. The people I do have a problem with are the vain little twits who ask for nothing more than a 1-10 rating, and the moment they receive lower than a six, immediately send off their question to the vast vacuum of cyberspace. Apologies if it seems like I'm whining, or ranting, or using up precious room in here.It's nice to know that you think I'm a huge "dusher". I think you're an unoriginal moron, but hey - what can you do?Person with about half a dozen Ls in front of your name - I disagree. Most people can receive serious ego boosts (or receive very serious blows to their ego that can take a long time to recover from) from a random person off the Internet giving them an overinflated compliment. Some people on here think I'm mean because I actually answer honestly when somebody wants to be evaluated.

Question about REBT-CBT and BPD? Hello, my husband was diagnosed with BPD over a year ago (and I can tell you as his wife of 6 years, he does indeed have it). The med he is taking works very well (Trileptal); probably an 85% improvement over his behavior without meds. He has a new therapist now who wants to do REBT with him and I can see the potential for it's success, as it does address the exact problems he has. My issue is that the therapist has seen him twice so far and has already stated that he doesn't believe BPD is a real illness and is trying to diagnose him with something else. So far he has it narrowed down to "mood disorder." He doesn't seem to understand the severity of my husband's illness at all. Such as, he sent him "homework" home that required my husband to evaluate his own behavior and decide himself if he used any of these cognitive distortions on a list, using a 1-10 rating system. My husband cannot do this. He cannot evaluate his own behavior in any way. I didn't think he would be able to (of course, I did not tell him that) but wanted him to go ahead and try (you never know, right?). He was unable to understand most of the questions and the ones he did answer, he answered unrealistically (such as giving a "5" rating to a behavior he engages in every single day or the majority of the time). After seeing the immense difficulty he was having and realizing the therapist was going to get the wrong idea about how severe my husband's illness actually is, I finally had to explain the questions to him and give him examples of the behavior the question is referring to. How is this him evaluating himself? It feels like I am evaluating HIM and telling him what the answers are. This is not going to help. If the therapist does not believe BPD is a real illness, how can I get him to understand how severe my husband's problems are? And how can we make this therapist understand that at this point in therapy (2 sessions in), my husband is not able to evaluate himself? *I understand that the point of all the various forms of CBT is self-realization. However, at this time it is just not possible.Oh no question about that at all. I don't think this therapist really understands what is going on here and I'm not sure he is actually interested to learn. moreResolved Question: How good is it? Room for any improvements?
I could hear the horn of the car from my room, like a trumpet sounding the finalization of my mortal life. It was time. A fraction of me felt relieved I was finally leaving this place, but another part of me was afraid of where I was going afterward. I was relieved to leave this place because I was already getting attached and if I stayed longer I wouldn’t be able to depart. On the other hand, I’ve known that I would one day have to leave, but I wished that one day wasn’t today. Only when I saw the shaky diamonds that reflected on the wall from my earrings did I realize I was trembling. I felt like my heart would burst open any minute. Leaving my filthy rich life in Beverly Hills didn’t really affect me. I was just too fond of to people here. I hate my life. I felt like crying. No! Keep it together, Keep it together! I shouted in my head. Stopping me before I could get a major headache, the car horn went off again. Now I would have to go down in front of my family and friends and say goodbye. I said my farewell to my room which had always been my place of escape and I left to face my fate. Everyone who knew me acknowledged that I was chosen to be a vampire and I would have to leave sometime and go to a vampire school. Now after seventeen years of mortality I would have to start learning my duties as a bloodsucker. People think, being a vampire is a great way of "having more lifetime opportunities" as it said on some magazine, but I think it’s a great way of having a life full of ripping peoples throats out. I wasn’t affected by that crimson liquid – yet. I knew I would someday (somehow). I walked down the steps deliberately ignoring the photo of my family. Two years ago my sister, stepfather and mother had died in a house fire. My mother wanted my biological father to look after me. I lived in England. It was hard, having to move half way round the world. I’d never seen my father before because he had abandoned my mother when she was thirteen after she just found out she was pregnant with me. So he didn’t want me. Following that, my stepdad Joel came and picked up the pieces. He was like the dad I never had (which is accurate in a way).I made my way down the first flight of stairs. My father Kyle is thirty now. His wife, Agnes, is thirty-one. She is really pretty and chirpy. She has this arrogant self-obsessed son, Tanner. He isn’t Kyle’s son, so I guess we’re not blood-related. We’re both seventeen. He has half the girls in school wrapped around his little finger. Me and Tanner never get on and never will. Kyle keeps on suggesting ways we could bond but then I give him this look and he knows to back off. When Tanner does talk to me he’s always teasing my English accent. I was on the last flight of stairs. I’d always moaned about how long the staircase was but, strangely, today I wished it were longer. I inhaled profoundly. I walked past the imaginary boundary line to the living room. Conversation stopped and all eyes shifted on me. I rolled my own eyes. There were, it seemed like, a million people from my school and some people I wasn’t even familiar with. Tanner and his friends were situated at the heart of the room. As customary, he was the centre of attention. Where they hiding something? I made a huge error. Something I wished were a pencil mark I could just erase but it wasn’t as easy as that. I had shifted my long brown hair away from my face and exposed my neck to everyone. Every vampire had a special mark on their necks. It was like this dark star shape and it was all black (You were born with it and it identified you as a vampire). I glanced around the room. Hell, with everyone looking at me I could feel myself becoming claustrophobic in the otherwise large room. They all looked so mystified. I always kept my neck covered and this was a shock to them. “What am I, a science project?” I regretted saying that. Now was not an ideal time to use humour. Kyle and Agnes had faces of anxiousness painted on them. “That’s my Deena, trying to crack jokes at a time like this, just like her mother.” Someone joked. I couldn’t believe it. The best voice on the planet was calling to me. My Aunt Adele was here. Beside her were my Aunt Dakota, Uncle Allen and Grandpa Rio. I was so overwhelmed with happiness; it felt as if my heart was on a rollercoaster. I felt myself becoming out of breath. “Hello, hello and hello.” I said it in my usual smart ass tone. “I can’t believe you’re here Aunt Ade –“ “What have I told you? It’s just Adele without the Aunt. It makes me sound youthful.” Everyone in the room relaxed a little and I even saw people smiling. This crazy lady was my mum’s sister. She always had a calm aura around her. “But how did you make this journey all the way from Europe? It’s really expensive to travel now.” I didn’t want to sound disrespectful so I smiled in disbelief while I said it. “Thank that young boy over there.” She went rigErm. . .not all of the first chapter seemed to load.

Our golden ages were not created by the modern equivalent of how to fix a car but of the equivalent of how to design one. What is currently developing in Sri Lanka is not an improvement on our civilization post colonialism it is just a repeat of marginalizing persons along caste lines or for whatever reason to benefit self-interest instead the interest of Our Nation.

My bf and I have been together for 4 years. We've been living together for 3 years, both have full time jobs and we adopted a cat that we both love. My bf is very sweet....he cooks for me and treats me like a queen. The problem is that our sex life is becoming more and more non-existant. He said that he has low testostorone levels and this has been diagnosed by a doctor. I gained 20 lbs since we met...i went from 105lbs to 125lbs (i'm only 5'1")...He says this has nothing to do with my looks but he admitted that he liked me better when I was thinner...This problem has made me very self concious about myself! I've always been confident in the way i look but when it comes to him, I'm not anymore! He's always been attracted to thin, tanned, asian girls...I'm a light skinned latina with a boody! He said he loves me for me but I really think there's more going on here than the health issue. He's been taking medication for over a year now, and no improvements! Is it possible that my weight gain is turning him off? I've been having sex once every 6 weeks or so...When it comes to oral sex, he LOVES it and could have it everyday! I have to add that when we first met and I was thinner, we had a GREAT sex life! Do you think if I lost the weight he would be more interested? Is it possible that he went back to wanting his usual thin, tanned, asian girl and no longer has interest in me? moreResolved Question: Am I still a premature ejaculator?
Alright, so a little history: I used to have MAJOR premature ejaculation issues. My first 3 partners, I'd literally come on the first stroke or, on the best occasions, within the first 5 to 10 seconds. Obviously this was super embarrassing . . . but I really worked at it; first by getting super good at oral sex and things like that so I wouldn't totally disappoint me partners, and then but doing a lot of research to learn techniques that would help and just as importantly got more experience and plenty "self practice". At this point, I've made a LOT of improvement and think I've pretty much conquered the MENTAL aspect of the issue. That said, I think I'm just naturally prone to be a little on the quick side; physically just super sensitive. So while intercourse lasts much longer, I'm never able to keep continually thrusting for longer than about 20-30 seconds at a time. I have the control to stop when I'm getting close so intercourse lasts a lot longer (and i still take care of my partner's orgasms in other ways) . . . but I feel like I've reached the peak of how much I can improve my stamina. So, my question is . . . is this common and appropriate: thrusting for 20 to 30 seconds, pausing (sometimes switching positions) and just continuing to do that until the periods of thrusting get shorter and shorter as things progress and eventually I finish. Or are most people able to continually thrust for longer periods of time? thanks for your answers and your honesty. moreVoting Question: help please! self improvement here?

I know its not very good, so could you please make some suggestions for improvement, im having some trouble making this good. The future was a mystery to the characters in Rome and Juliet. But the reader watched their slow descent into their own demise, knowing what would inevitably happen. This is because of foreshadowing. Right from the start the reader knew that Romeo and Juliet were meant going to do. This is apparent even in the Prologue which states “A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life” (Shakespeare 1) and later when Romeo and Juliet see each other as ghosts of their former selves. This is done by Shakespeare to show the irony of their deaths, and to create the inevitability of their demise.I have already done the basic editing thing, so basically im looking for something to add and make it better. moreResolved Question: Passing judgment on to others? Need Zen/Psychological advice.?
The way of Zen is improve one’s well-being / happiness / life by letting improvement within one’s self flow, not be forced. As in, when you have a destructive thought or procrastinate or do something that’s just not helping you become a better you, you don’t scold yourself for it, you say “okay. I did that. Moving on…” This is because when you scold yourself for something like procrastinating in typing up a report , just as an example, your mentally establishing this idea that you aren’t good enough; you were built with faults you MUST fix; you must reinvent yourself. But with Zen, when one catches themselves procrastinating , back to that example , one takes a second to address themselves, “I’m procrastinating because I had a habit of doing this when I was younger but now I can’t get away with it; Now it’s catching up to me.” <- here, you realize that you’re not built wrong; the way you procrastinate is because of the way you live, and essentially, the idea of Zen is that all things can be explained, and that we’re all “perfect” (by the ability to explain one’s actions with reasoning) . But here is my problem: I want to take people for who they are, without judging them. But how can I do this. How can I change myself that much. Naturally, I don’t think about it until after the conversation, to realize that I just judged someone’s actions, or narrowed in on someone’s shortcomings (and not looked at them as a whole.), and it’s really a bother. Emotions are just excessively more complex than I feel like I take them for, like when I’m flustered in public, it’s a lot harder to just take the mental time to dwell on my Zen strategies of how to address and accept why I’m upset, and flow with it, and move on. In such cases as being aggravated in public, and by public, I mean school or work or an office or a party; place where people are talking to you and things are going on that you should be putting your mental thoughts into, not Zen.

All my questions here are because of obsession w/ this dilemma. First, if you are going to cut into for hating my friends, don't...go on you're merry way. Most likely you are an extrovert who can't understand the need to work out deep feelings...shoo! I know this is MY problem. No, I'm not a bad person for having negative emotions. It's better to say, "I'm angry" than to say "I'm a good person...I never get angry." It's a huge snag on my spiritual journey and I'm trying to get to the bottom of my problem. I've tried not thinking about them, but like any other problem it won't just go away. I hate the fact that they are all extroverts w/ no thoughts of changing the world through self-improvement (to them the problem is everyone else) and that they are scientifically challenged. moreVoting Question: Failed In Love 3 times?
I'm a 24 yr old guy from Mumbai and am into business ever since the past 7 years. Well when i was around 17 yrs old i joined merchant navy and qualified as a second office on board and then started my business. 7 years ago I had an american girl friend who was suffering from Cerebral Palsy and she could barely move around and i made sure that when she was in india everything best would be right at the moment. I did all the therapies for her possible and there was a major improvement that one could see. She started walking for atleast 15 mins a day with a limp and could also move out of the house freely. Months down the lane there was an excellent improvement in her and her fingers and hands opened up and she could write better too. Well alot of people told me that i am not doing a good thing by engaging my self with a girl like that. However my thinking was that human is a human and there's no doubt about it. So i got engaged to that girl and we were living in Mumbai. Well according to our Indian customs we believe that we're not allowed to (have sex / make out) before marriage and that is what i was following. So we never made out and didnt even talk about sex. One day i took her out to clubbing with my friends whom she knew very well. In the club i really didnt realize what was going on in her mind. She got me slaushed with drinks and also made me consume 3 erection tablets saying that those were paracetamols. When I got back home i was knocked out. The next day morning what i find is that she had made out with me while i was asleep and least did i realize that it really had happened. When i asked her why did she do this, her reply was that you never satisfy me and couldnt even do me well. I was in a shocked state and consulted my friend who's a doctor. She told me that people who have Celebral Palsy have hormones which are much stronger than anyother and hence this might be the case. So i accepted it and requested her not to do it again. The story took a turn when she broke her promise and asked me to live with her in United States Of America, cause i'd told her that i cannot leave my business and come to US. Well she quit this relationship and backed off. That was an ADIOS to my first relationship where in i knew this girl for 8 long years. I was single and stayed unsearching until 1yr 2 months back when i found another girl who came to know about my life through one of my closest friends. We met each other and decided to get married. Our parents opposed the relationship and even then we got married in the court of law. Two months after marriage when we made out my wife tells me the same thing that i cannot satisfy her and that i should hunt for another women and not divorce her. My f****ng shit i really didnt have no words when she said such a thing. Ever since that day, i mean ever since a year there is a fight. My business schedules are so tight that i get to sleep only on Saturday's and Sunday's, and just to mess out with me she'll purposely turn out loud music all over the house and start bang crash. I cannot even divorce her as 49% of all my market shares and property is on her name single handed and unconvertible. Well i've seeked for attorney help through the High Court but i do not think anything will happen for the next 4 years. Now recently i got in touch with another girl on a chat server programme and she lives around 600-700 miles away from me. I told her about my situation and also that i was looking around for a person who could really understand my situation and could be with me in all ways. It so happened out that somehow our views and ideas matched and both our feelings matched. In just 3 hours of our conversation on the internet i thought that honestly she's the right one. Though she didnt completely agree with our relationship we just said "lets forget about what the confusion is and lets carry on". Now 7 months back i had a massive heart attack due to the pressure and another mild stroke 3 months ago. I'm under no influence of alcohol, cigg's or drugs. Yesterday, i.e. February 13th 2010, i recieved a message from her on my cell phone saying that we cannot continue this relationship and that we can be good friends. Well at that very same moment i was in a shock again and my blood pressure went extremely low. I had a telephonic conversation with her and she said that we've to stop it there. Again i was taken to the hospital in the morning and was given tranqulizers and all god knows what, but i demanded to be home. Even now i'm just pretending that i like her as my friend but am just not able to give it up. At times i feel suicidal but then i wonder what would my parents do without me. Without her i feel like a looser. I feel that someone taking away my part of oxygen and i feel breathless. Even now i'm on Saline and glucose as i'm typing this. But i'm seriously unable to understand what do i do. All i know is that i cannot go against her free will and her parents wish and force heher to do stuff. That isnt me. I just dont know what to do.

OK all 7th and 8th grade there was this girl I looked up to with everything I had. She was a huge role model for me. Every single day I brought her either candy, snacks and stuff I knew she liked. When I gave her this stuff she seemed extremely appreciative. The thing is while we were friends she did some things to me that at the time I was in denial because I wanted her to be my friend so bad and I didn't want it to be true. For example in 8th grade she told me to skip class with her and she eventually talked me into it. Anyways we were in the bath room and she told me she wanted to go to her locker and get home work to work on. Instead of doing that she went and told she teacher I was in the bath room skipping and that I tried to talk her into it. Then she told me she told the teacher by accident. Another time I told her I liked this boy so she told me she would ask him out for me. So she did and unfortunetly he said no. That was bad enough but then she gave me that he said yes and I should go get his phone number. She did so many more things to me much worse than that. Like at lunch she told me I had something on my butt so she wipped it off but she put a paper on it saying F**** me here N******So she was never my friend but at the time I was in denial. Although because of some of the things she did to me I am afraid to talk to guys, i stutter, I have major trust issues, and a lot more. I also think about this everyday three quarters of my day. Those are things I will never beable to change for the rest of my life. She dos'nt even know what she did to me and I see her every day in school and just try to avoid her. I have to hold in tears so people won't look at me. I trusted this girl, looked up to this girl with everything and she did this to me. What do I do. How do I handle this?
