Sadly, I can personally relate to that article. So, it was interesting but difficult reading. Story of my life (almost).

me too, actually : /

I never realized until I got older though. WHen i was younger I thought I had so many issues but it turns out pretty much all of it was fabricated by my mom...I dont think SHE even knew she was doing it though.

anyway, now im basically just doing damage control...

Same here. Though I'm still living with my mum, but tryin' to put some distance between us. Since we still can't openly talking about how my mum and family's treatment of me contributed to my depression, anxiety and self-esteem issues.

I seriously believe there should be a book published in the "An Idiots Guide To..............." series called "An Idiots Guide To Empathy". :thumbup:

It's funny how you only started to take what I've been saying seriously, after someone who works in a hospital confirms what I've been tellin' you for years.

Why do we have the automatic impulse to talk to other animals like human babies? Is it because they can't understand us? Then why talk to them at all? Is it only the cute ones, like furry mammals, that we do it to?

I think it's a internal backup to spoken language when communicating with creatures we deem vulnerable that don't speak the same language.

Because while we talk, we also exert volumes worth of body language that is for the most part appreciated subconsciously. While animals don't understand the spoken language, they pick up (to an extent) on the body language and smells (both of which are conveyed whilst talking.)

The compulsive talking part, I believe, is to keep the body language earnest and true.

Though, baby talk towards animals isn't always a great idea. Because it's a humble and gentle form of communication, which conveys weakness. You see this a lot in smaller dogs that become ill mannered and generally dominant.

Just like those older kids who don't want to be treated like kids any more and become angsty teenagers.

Hot weather is here, let harassment of females commence.

Had the pleasure of walking by a group of guys and a girl and being pestered by two of them. The girl with them didn't even try to stop them but she didn't join in thankfully, that somehow feels like betrayal :p Telling them off is so satisfying if nervewracking.

There is a spider on the lose in my bedroom. I was so freaked out I think I only got 4 hours of sleep. **** spiders.

Get a puppy. It will bark at the spider for a while then gobble it up and try to kiss you with it's gross spider mouth.

Or you could gobble up the spider yourself
