    Sociopaths

    Ok I'll admit I'm in a very mysanthropic time of my life, but still, humankind is NOT a great specie. Not compared to what it could be. I might be a sociopath magnet because I look naive, but to me it seems that every man who approaches me just want something from me and will lie and manipulate...

    What we think people expect from us

    Hellooo so I was sitting and thinking because it's one of my favorite hobbies and I realized that, one of the reasons I like solitude so much is that when I'm with people, I always feel like they expect something from me, that I'm not giving to them (competency at work, entertainment with...

    American Politics

    Excuse me, but I'm confused, maybe some American people here have some answers. We all know by now that you elected a clown and made your politic scene a big circus. It's been funny. But now that the time has come to pull your sh*t together, it's like you forgot where you put the collective...

    What is "The Ego" and "True self"

    Ok so, since the 21th century is all about showing off that we're the coolest person in the world on social media, people keep writing books and blogs about new lifestyles allowing us to "let go of our ego" and "be our true self" in order to be happier (books and blogs which, by the way, often...

    Venting, dopamine and psychotherapy addiction

    Sooo... I'm not sure this is going to interest anyone, but I've been wondering (and doing some research) about why people who talks a lot about their problems sometimes just can't seem to stop, and is it really such a good idea to do so. I know most people say that it makes them feel better. But...

    Being a loner......

    I would like to know how many of you here are loners (people who enjoy being alone and need it), what is your opinion on being a loner in such an extrovert society and how you think it is perceived by fellow human beings. Why I want to know is because, after I made some amazing progress in...

    Adventure stories and biographical account

    One of my big problem in life has been that I always thought I was too dumb and worthless to achieve anything - I've been raised to think that about myself. So most of the time when I was trying to achieve something, I would give up because I would think I'm too slow, I'm not doing it right and...

    Calories

    Ok... There is something that keeps bugging me and I would like to know other people's opinion, if you don't mind sharing it. Everytime I hear people talking about calories, my ears bleed. In my world, calories are fuel. Energy. Why on earth would you choose to feed your body with the food...

    Commitment and making plans

    I hate making plans. I hate when people ask me to do something with them days in advance, even the day before, because it makes me feel trapped. What if the day comes and I don't feel like going? I hate bringing people along on trips because it means if I'm driving east and in the middle of...

    I need help from computer geeks

    Ok I have to buy a laptop, preferably today or tomorrow. Online. I don't know anything about computers. All I know is I need something good enough to watch movies and do video montage (filmmaking). Ideally good enough to use Autocad as well. I'm told I should get intel instead of AMD. I'm told...

    Are you afflicted with the "who cares what I say" syndrome?

    On which ratio do you delete your posts here? Or just don't click "post"? Do you do it because you're afraid to be judged or because you think nobody cares what you're saying? Do you do it in real life as well? About 9 times on 10, I don't post what I write or I delete it immediately after...

    Who do you think you are

    Not really looking for advice here, I'm just wondering if anyone relate to this and curious how you deal with it. I've made very important progress in the last 3 years, social-phobia-wise (and health wise at the same time). I would say the last 3 years were a constant chain of small (and...

    Anger management

    Hello... So I'd like to start a conversation about how you deal with anger and frustration, more precisely, will you explode, will you keep it all inside, or do you have the ability to demonstrate it while keeping it under control? I'm asking because today I've been angry in a way I haven't...

    The Ultimate Motivational Playlist

    It might sound silly, but I'm trying to make a playlist for someone who is sick and really needs motivation to go on and fight and, first I need more songs, and second, I thought a lot of people here could really use that playlist. So, you know, when your entire life is falling apart and...

    Post a picture of a place where you feel at peace

    I was thinking it could be cool to share pictures of places we go when we are seeking peace of mind, places that make you feel at peace with yourself, where you go to recharge, or for shelter. Whether it being a spot by the sea, a cabin in the woods, your roof or under your bed. So I guess...

    Making lists ALL the time

    I hate making threads and it's going to be a silly one, but I really want to know if there is other people doing this: So as the title say, is there anyone else here who has to make lists ALL the time, about everything, to be able to function? I mean not only at work, where I do countless of...

    Forgiveness

    I realized recently that, while one thing that has greatly contributed to my downfall along the years was shame, the one thing that has really contributed to my uprising in the last years, was forgiveness. I think the fact that I was able to let go of the anger or hard feelings not only towards...

    Did you have any weird beliefs as a child?

    I've been thinking about starting this thread since a while because I had some strange ones myself and I'm curious to know at which level they are recurrent among kids. So here's the main examples that come to my mind: I had this phase when I thought maybe my house was in fact somebody's...
