Tears sometimes come to my eyes when I'm upset and nervous about talking to someone about whatever is upsetting me. These can be totally tiny things, like where I sit in the classroom. I just can't keep the tears back. It's ridiculous and obviously extremely embarrassing. Then, sometimes...

Again, I'm trying to counter our natural pessimism. I know most people's hope and fear are flip sides of the same coin - getting over this and staying this way - but let's look at the upside. My greatest hope is to become well-known enough (as an author) for people to pay attention and listen...

Someone complained that listing disorders is depressing. So here we are. What are your talents?? What are you good at doing? What things do you have about you that are helpful and that other people don't have? I'm very good at academics, especially history. I play flute and piano. I don't...

So my mom was talking about something I shouldn't have said. This topic really disturbs me. More than anything else, I go over and over in my head what people have said to me or I have said to them. Then, she went on to a second thing that I said wrong, and that really upset me. Someone made...

Long story. I had an unusually busy 10th grade year. Near the end, I pretty much lost all my energy. My mom took me to the doctor after about a month because I had been so energetic all year. She wanted me to be tested for mono and a hormone imbalance. (I still denied that anything was...

I'm 17, female, of course, and I don't get it. It seems like everyone on this site but me is obsessed with sex. I'm just not interested. I wonder sometimes, is something wrong with me?

I've heard that there are people on this site that just "lurk" rather than post. Sooo..... calling all lurkers! Here's your chance to say 'hi'! That's all, just two letters: hi. You don't even have to capitalize it. If you haven't registered yet, do it for these two letters: hi POST! POST...

It seems to me that there are more men than women posting, but that might be because the men talk about sex/relationships/gender-specific subjects more, so they're more obvious. Anyway, just wondering...

I never even knew about this before I came to this forum, so I'm not sure if this is entirely right, but I thought of something recently.... I don't spend my life fearing criticism. I look all the time for something that shows that people like or respect me. I don't overreact to criticism...

So my brother came over today. He's in college, and he still lives in town, but he moved to an apartment two years ago and I don't see him often. It seems like practically every time he comes over, I'm grumpy and don't want to talk or listen to anyone else talk. I try to get in my room alone...

I’m not really socially phobic, so I almost feel like I shouldn’t be on this site, but here I am! I am a bit shy and anxious. I used to be very shy as a young child, starting from age three, but I got over that during fifth grade and middle school. I had some lax teachers in seventh grade and...
