Hi Seeker1, I guess what might help is to understand that while cutting might cause short-term release from stress and anxiety, that in the long term it can be a damaging road to go down to, and I don't mean that in th purely physical sense. Also, have you spoke about this with your girlfriend, or a...

Hi, Maybeokay I think 'meaning of life' of life is a bit of a broad denominator. I'm a Muslim, so religion will certainly be part of it for me, but I like to think it's not limited to that. I posted a thread here earlier about nihilism and the existence of objective morality cause I was in a bit of ...

Hi Kindergarten is were kids usually learn social skill (check out the documentaries 'secret of a 4year old'). So if you decided to be a loner and not participate in social experimenting, you're more than likely missing some finer details in your social skill-set. Luckily if you have the ambition fo...

I've downloaded Atlas shrugged yesterday and read the first few pages, might pick it up from the local library on my next visit, since I don't like reading pdf's....

Don't get me wrong, it's in the best interest of the relationship to get the truth out in the open and discuss it so you both can get passed it. But if she's really withholding information that's for her to share when she feels ready for it. Perhaps once you've accepted that possibility, and she fee...

Maybe she did more, maybe she didn't. In the grand scheme of things, how high a priority is this knowledge? Does it make her love for you less real? Does it make your love for her less real? After all, she is the gal where you've been trough so much with, who decided to stick with you when you were ...

Two things I learned when I lost dear ones: 1) Only people who have actually lost someone know how to offer condolences. 2) Everybody mourns in his/her own way, yet most people expect you to mourn the same way as they do. When I lost my father I didn't want to talk about with anyone either, so I can...

When I was 18 years old my father was dying from lung cancer. When he died I was relieved. Not because his suffering had ended or something altruistic like that. But merely for personal reasons, because I could finally start to mourn, because I finally didn't have this impending doom hanging over ou...

I don't think you're being silly, quite the opposite. It shows maturity that you don't just brush it off and understand the severity of this incident and that things could have gone allot worse. Just because nobody was hurt, doesn't mean the incident is meaningless. As for the guilt. Luckily all you...

What's first, the chicken or the egg? Do you think it's possible that things started with you being detached to people, and the idea that you're the only real person came afterwards? For me, the times that I'm most aware of people's individuality, is when I have an emotional connection to them. If y...

Yeah the famous trolley problem, rember that from school. I also remember always having a perfect (subjective) answer in my head when discussing such problems in class :p

Maybe see someone specialized in that field? Go to a sleep clinic where they can monitor your sleeping pattern? From your stories, seems like enough of a nuisance to get help over.

Hi Keenan, I hear you, live can be very bleak at moments. But no, it doesn't necessarily need to stay like this. I'm not going to lie to you, there's always the possibility it could, but for most people in a similar situation, you see that after a while they find relieve from their situation. But th...

@Richard@DecisionSkills Well those who go about killing in the name of morality usually don't take their own subjectiveness and fallibility into account. And there's probably even more than just that. So yes if you limit it down to those two options, accepting that there is no ultimate moral code i...

Well those who go about killing in the name of morality usually don't take their own subjectiveness and fallibility into account. And there's probably even more than just that. So yes if you limit it down to those two options, accepting that there is no ultimate moral code is better. But that is a f...
