    Dog Anxiety

    I've come to the realization that I don't like dogs, and it makes me feel like a bad person. I find them to be extremely frustrating, and everything they do I find infuriating. I hate that they will sit when I tell them to sit, and if they don't sit then that's even worse. I hate the way they...

    OC without the D

    I sometimes describe myself to people as "OC without the D." Meaning, I display some classic symptoms of OCD, but it doesn't disrupt my life in any way. In highschool, yes, the obsessive thoughts caused me a lot of unhappiness, but these days I find them to be only slightly annoying, and not...

    Don't Wanna Go

    I thought I'd start a thread about this to see what you guys think, because I don't know if I'm just being crazy or what. Two of my older sisters want to take me on a vacation, expenses paid, to celebrate my upcoming milestone birthday (it's still a ways away, but they're planning ahead). They...

    Love As A Choice

    I read an article tonight which states that love is, simply, a choice that you make, rather than an emotion which comes and goes at whim. Your feelings for a spouse or partner may fade over time, but you can choose to continue loving them more, through respecting them, caring for them, and...

    My Platonic Boyfriend

    Sorry if this is TMI, but I really need to get this off my chest. My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over two years now. We moved in together 18 months ago, at which point in time our sex life flat-lined. I was upset about this for a while, but then I completely lost my libido...

    Digital vs Analog(ue)

    These days it seems like there is a digital option for everything: tvs, cameras, music players, watches, pianos, even pets. Do you go for digital devices, or do you prefer old-school methods? Which is superior, in your opinion? Just curious. :)

    Multiple Intelligences

    I've always been intrigued by the idea of multiple intelligences. Basically, it's a theory stating that, instead of one general measurement of intelligence (like IQ), there are many types of intelligence that a person can have. With social anxiety, I think it's particularly important to remember...

    Downgrading

    Society is so geared toward upgrading your life to the next biggest and best thing---but do you ever feel like downgrading, even if it's just in a small way? Trading in your vehicle lease for a reliable clunker? Chucking your iphone for the cheapest plastic thing that will transmit a signal...

    See You Around

    I'm finding that the anxiety I feel when I visit this forum is starting to outweigh the benefits of coming here often. So, I think that I will say my farewells for the time being, and come back around to check in every so often. Best of luck to all of you; you have made a huge difference in my...

    If you're lonely on Thanksgiving...

    Consider visiting others who are lonely as well. I'm sure many nursing homes will be accepting visitors, or head out to your local animal shelter to hang out with the homeless animals. Whoever you end up visiting, I'm sure they will be very grateful!

    Taking His Name

    Since we're talking about weddings and marriage here on the forum, I'd like to ask: How do you feel about a woman taking a man's name when they are married? Men, do you prefer it? Women, do you think it is old-fashioned, or a traditional part of the union? What are your thoughts, pro or con?

    Yeah, Thanksgiving in the States is fast approaching, and most people are thinking about what they want for Christmas, not what they are grateful for already having. :) So, what are you thankful for?

    If you were an ice cream flavor...

    What would you be? Why? I was obsessing over this last night when I couldn't get to sleep, and I'm just curious to see everyone's answers, lol. Me, I'd be butter pecan. It's like a slightly more exciting version of vanilla. It has a consistent, reliable flavor that most people haven't even...
