One of my referee's for a job application that I am putting together is my counsellor. Should I be honest and admit that she is my counsellor or should I just say that she is a friend? She told me to lie and tell them that we're friends but the thing is that the only contact details I have of...

I really want a girlfriend at the moment but I don't have a salary and I can't drive which isn't helpful. I don't know where to find the kind of girl that I am looking for; I'm not into pubs/clubs etc. I have offered my services to volunteer for a charity working with animals close to me but...

If you can if I PM'ed you would you be willing to translate a very short message for me please?

Apologies for my long opening post. They won't all be this long :) Various members of the forum have suggested that I start one of these things so, here it is: I'll start off with a brief summary of my life: For some reason I've suffered from anxiety for as long as I can remember. My mum also...

I just told a guy my life story online. That I am 22 years old, had a tough life, never had a girlfriend and got this response from him: Wow....unconfident loser. That's what type of man this world needs. You're supposed to be a man. Suck it up and stop bitching. Here's what I want you to do...

My university has offered me disability allowance but I have never thought of myself as being disabled. I would feel that I would have a stigma attached to me if I accepted it. Do you consider yourself to be disabled?

As time goes by I think my understanding and awareness of why I am anxious in social situations becoems more apparent to me. The latest thing that I have realised is that I don't think I am capable of looking after myself once I leave my parents' house. I don't have a clue how to do basic...

I've just written my first ever poem. It's only short but it's my first ever one. It's called 'If only you knew'. I really like the first stanza but I feel that it goes downhill after that. I want to cringe when I read back over it and I think it is really cheesy. In fact I have no idea why I am...

For the first time in my life a girl has just told me that I'm a lovely guy :D The sad thing is that she is already in a relationship. Edit: Forgot to add she also said that she wishes that there were more people like me.

Ok, so in hindsight I made a mistake when I used the word chivalry in my other thread; I meant romance rather than chivalry. I have lazily copy-and-pasted my opening post from the other thread but altered it to make sense in this one. I was just wondering what your opinions are on romance...

Firstly, I'm not very experienced in relationships with the opposite sex and the following may provide some reasoning as to why. I was just wondering what your opinions are on it; both guys and gals. I think part of the problem why I suffer from social anxiety is that I feel that I don't fit...

My counsellor gave me a number to phone for a local charity that supports people with mental health problems. She advised me to attend a building self-esteem course. I rang up this charity and the person on the other said "Hello, Wendy speaking from Community Wellbeing". I replied by telling her...

I'm sure this will sound trivial but it's really bothering me. I don't get much social interaction so online is the only way for me to speak to people. I don't play video games that much but there is one franchise that I am really into at the moment: Assassin's Creed. Anyway, I post on the...

My cat woke me up at 3.50 this morning by dropping a live mouse on my face :eek:. I think she was probably giving it to me as her way of showing her affection for me; I'm quite happy with just a cuddle though. Oh and the mouse is fine; I picked it up and released it back into the garden.

Not many of you will have heard this comment because it was on the Football (Soccer) League Show in England. To cut a long story short a French-born Malian player was accused of showboating because he rolled up his socks whilst in possession of the ball and in a comfortable lead. An...

I'm 22 and desperate for a job. I have never had one nor even any work experience but I want money. I live with my parents and I want to become independent but I am anxious about having to communicate with other people as much as I would have to in a working environment. I also really want a...

Has anybody read anything or seen that video of that complete **** who taped a kitten to a broomstick and drowned it in his bath. Some people are beyond redemption. Apparently he has history after he put a kitten on his bed where a Burmese Python was waiting under the bedsheets and ate it...

I started a thread some months ago about a counsellor that I used to see (people who read that thread will know that I developed strog feelings for her). She really helped me and I gave her a thank you card before she left. My intention was to let her know how grateful I was for her help...

I am a male and adore women just as much as the next guy. However, I have damaged myself possibly permanently, and I was wondering if I am the only one in this situation. I find myself physically attracted to many women but I have always felt disrespectful when thinking of them sexually and...

I seem to get confused very easily as well as forgetful. I was wondering whether it is just me as I am only 21 and these things shouldn't be afflicting me just yet. Earlier today I had a hospital appointment but my train was cancelled so I couldn't make it. I dialled 118 118 and told them that...
