I'm guessing this has had a positive net effect on your life. Despite this, and contrary to you not giving a shit, not even to contemplate it... aren't you at all somewhat worried that you might be missing something that might actually be correct by the judgement of others if you decide to...

In all likelihood, yeah, it's probably not your diet. But, if I recall correctly, your diet can have an effect on your gut bacteria, and your gut bacteria can have an effect on your mood. Might be worth googling.

I can't connect with people. I am unable to "banter" with the guys without putting forth a massive effort. I feel like people don't respect me and I am ignored. I am not a funny person, and my attempts to be are shrugged off as weird or inappropriate. I am not smart. I am not attractive. I am...

I always appreciate your input lily. :)

Yeah, I feel like it's gotten worse recently.

Maybe it's all three.

I can't remember if I've ever mentioned this before here, but I think WAY too much. Being lost in thought manifests in me several different outcomes depending on the situation: A) I am trying to learn something and I become distracted by thoughts that have nothing to do with the task at hand...

I was going through some boxes of old clothes and remembering the memories associated with that clothing. Some were old favorites, others were nothing special. Some evoked feelings of childhood nostalgia and good times, while others brought about rumination and regret. I had to throw out some...

I've been analyzing here and there what it means to "be yourself." I think it means to not try so hard, as may already be evident to others. For me, trying hard has been trying to be an intellectual far too often, sounding smart or cool, or forcing topics, all in order to appease others or show...

Thoughts on this? My biggest issue lately has been a lack of smiling I think, mostly because life is in the gutter. And if I do smile, people tend to think I'm weak and treat me accordingly (or maybe that's in my head). https://www.quora.com/What-are-examples-of-bad-people-social-skills

I haven't had a drink in months until tonight, but used to drink quite heavily. Something I noticed in particular tonight was a slowing of my ability to form coherent thoughts when talking. My memory was affected after just one, regular drink of liquor, so expressing myself while talking to a...

What's up guys? Been a while since I posted here. I've been feeling pretty down lately. Been feeling like a nobody and I don't know where I'm headed in life. I feel like I'm never going to find someone to love--or trust--for that matter. I fear that a family might be a pipe dream, along with...

I've been trying this out recently. You talk to yourself 5-10 minutes at a time daily, literally about ANYTHING. By doing so you are training yourself to freely talk about whatever, and make connections to different topics more easily. This state of conversational flow can be applied to...

I come from a divorced family. Sometimes, well a lot of the time, I feel like I missed out on something. Like how to have a functioning relationship with another person, which is undoubtedly first learned by example from one's parents. How to have a healthy image of a father figure and mother...

Pride and ego make us think we are something important. They make us puff up our chests and think to ourselves that we deserve respect, praise, admiration, and whatever else leads to feelings of self-satisfaction. And when our pride and egos are challenged, when we feel slighted and are hurt by...

Chris Cornell passed away a couple of days ago at only age 52. I found serenity in his beautiful music growing up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mbBbFH9fAg

Pets have always been a source of comfort for me. Unconditional love from happy, non-judgmental cutie pies. Anyone feel the same way?

I was lying in bed last night trying to get to sleep when, as usual, my brain triggered me into remembering a no longer relevant humiliating and self-deprecating event. Of course, I started to cringe and smack my forehead about this event that must have happened 10 or more years ago, trying to...

People judge, and will always judge other people by what they can practically do. By what their merits are. A person could be well-read; a person could be a morally good person; a person could be amiable; a person could have interesting hobbies. But if that person doesn't have a tangible...
