I was talking to someone about an author that she met, and that led to me thinking about an author I once wrote to, which made me think of cool letters/emails in general, and I thought I'd make a thread for it. I'm sure some of you here have written to someone notable and received a response...

Alright, I'm sick of this. I've been eating more healthily for a month now (maybe longer), but I'm still hungry more than I was when I was eating crap food. I do not by any means starve myself, I actually feel like I snack too often for my liking, but I try to keep it to fresh produce. Apple...

Read this article. It's not very long so it won't take much time. It's from 2007 but it is still relevant today from what I can tell: http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/DiabetesResource/story?id=4021965&page=1#.UWXZDoX4eOg Basically the article is pointing out the problem of the rising cost of...

Do you think the Western world would be better off if we were a more communal society and less of an individualistic one? It makes sense to me that more communal societies would have higher overall levels of happiness. I don't have a source citing that is the case, but I've heard it more than...

...is a human being! Who knew? But really. You don't need ME to tell you that you have a personality that is separate from your social phobia and related issues. My question is... do you like that person? The person you are when you are anxiety-free. Even if you are only relaxed when you are...

I overheard a conversation on the bus the other day and I forgot about it until just now. It got me thinking about something that really frustrates me. These two women were sitting in front of me, speaking loudly enough that I couldn't really concentrate on the book I had in my hands. One of...

Okay. I posted about this in the random thoughts thread, but I was so excited and think this is SO FREAKING COOL that I had to make a new thread. https://www.edx.org/courses They're completely free, they provide you with all the materials. Taught by real professors, many courses are from MIT...

In the spirit of all things depressing, pessimistic, and gray - let's have a sad song contest! Post a song or two you think is the most tear-jerking (is that a legit word?) you've ever heard. I can think of lots, but the one I have in mind right now is the song Charlotte the spider sings...

I've made a lot of threads this week. But whatever. I like you guys. Not that my opinion matters, but. This is probably the most tightly-knit forum I've ever participated in. The other ones I've signed up for have all been either too big or just not very welcoming. I never felt a part of the...

Are any of you sensitive to caffeine? What do you find aggravates your anxiety the most? Just coffee, or can tea have an affect on you? What about chocolate? Just asking because I heard from a few people that most tea doesn't have enough caffeine to do much to you, but I had one cup of...

Hellooo What's up? How ya doing? Anything on your mind? Not sure how to respond to this thread? That's okay. I really don't know why I made it. But here it is. Comment away.

Now that I have your attention... ;) If you clicked hoping to see naughty pics, I am sorry to have to disappoint you. Not only is that not permitted on this site, but I have a serious topic to discuss. I am curious as to why people feel safe enough to text each other sexual or revealing...

Good article that explains how some people who seem socially competent can still have SAD. It also touches upon the myth that people with SA are narcissists (in fact, the article explains that we have "reverse narcissism"). Social Phobia I think I am sort of like what the article is...

Do you catch yourself when you're feeling sorry for yourself? What, if anything, do you do to get yourself out of that mindset? Anything that really works well for you? I hate self-pity in others and even myself, but I do catch myself behaving that way anyway. I'm sick of it. I don't think it's...

I've lately had some problems figuring out how I'm going to achieve a stable career of any sort with no money and a wasted college scholarship. The USA is obviously in a pretty severe recession right now, and that is making finding employment very hard for those with a Bachelors degree, never...

It's basically pictionary. Just go to isketch.net and click "play now", enter a username and password (I think you can just make one up - yeah makes a lot of sense). We can use this thread to coordinate what room to join. You can just use a public room or make your own and then tell people the...

Just curious. Be honest ;) I aim for every night. Sometimes I skip it if I'm too tired or whatever, but lately I have been pretty consistent.

Well, do ya? I'm hooked on them. Rebus puzzles, unscramblers, homophone games, crosswords, etc.

I've started rereading Resident Evil: The Umbrella Conspiracy (book 1): I believe there are 7 books, and I own 6. Or maybe there are 8 and I own 7. Or maybe... ah, I can't remember. But I own most of them. They're really good if you're a Resident Evil fan. I've been watching RE Let's Play's...

Space heater :/ reeeaaallll helpful. I suppose I could burn some of them.
