Hi Basically I suffer from SA pretty bad, but my main issue is I feel embarrassed about a lot of stuff about myself and it stops me moving forward and taking risks with other people. Like being 24 and never having had a gf, a social life all that stuff. I still have no idea what to do with my...

Does a part of you like seeming mysterious to people? I've always thought with people generally, but more w/girls I have more chance of being liked if I just don't say much. Mainly because I've been asked out a few times in my life and it was from being quiet, not revealing much about myself...

Who's in tonight? I'll be watching DVDs and trying to ignore the outside world Edit: messed up the poll, sorry!

Hey all, I posted this on another thread but thought I'd give it it's own just to see if people are interested in the idea. My proposed idea for the self-help co-operative, or sharing scheme goes like this: Someone owns a (self-help/therapy) book, and if it has helped them then rather than let...

Whether it's humour, general conversation or whatever, I feel like I'm on a different planet...what's the point of anything if you can't make connections with people? It's a basic human need...constant social rejection and your brain starts shutting down :roll:

Whats the point?? Will humans ever evolve towards open-mindedness? Why does it take most of a person's life to be able to see through their prejudices? (and many never do!) S.A. is caused by prejudice, as are all wars and injustices...and it's the reason we are over-consuming and destroying our...

Think I need to give up all forms of self-help- books, articles etc...I spend wayy too much time reading this stuff and doesn't really help..just reinforces good feelings when I'm up and comforts when I'm down. but I'm starting to realise it's not translating into real-life change at all ...

Lol...numerous updates and changes to the site but it survives :p

Just trying something out here, personally I was born 2 weeks premature and placed in an incubator for a long time. I went to a counsellor the other day who told me that this has a profound affect on a person's personal development into later life, not just this but life in the womb also. She...

I say the most boring, obvious things. The people I work with don't bother making eye contact when I'm talking to them, like they don't care, when people say "hey, been up to anything lately" they're just going through the motions as they know Im not gonna say anything interesting! I think it's...

Really nervous! I'm gonna be working over there till august, I'm doing it through WWOOF (www.wwoofjapan.com) anyone done anything similar? I've got no idea what to expect! Can't believe I'm doing it actually!

Any ideas on how to do this?? For me the thoughts come automatically, I can't even identify them let alone change them :?
