I can already build a list of a few ideas some would say why children and teenagers love destruction or rude/hurtful behavior: Bad upbringing, excessive energy, abuse, boredom, "just a phase." But is it really always one of those things? Sometimes even adults partake in childish behavior l...

You can mimic the physical signs of empathy, learn not to jump topics or dominate the conversation, and how to recognise when someone has made a significant statement about her- or himself While I am highly empathetic internally, I display very little. I don't know, it just seems like pointless eff...

As a human you can learn, you can grow, you can get stronger. I suppose I've proven that. A metal link doesn't have a choice. You do. If you get rejected you will not break. That's probably why I made the choices to never put myself in a place to get rejected, panic attacks definitely aren't fun, b...

You're not exactly forthcoming yourself, are you? Not traditionally. I've struggled with debilitating social anxiety but I've fought against it. If you told me that I've successfully initiated talking to a woman I was interested in for the first time, I would be in disbelief. It took me 6 months to...

This saying gained currency in the Seventies: If you love someone, set her free. If she comes back, she's yours. If she doesn't, she never was. Incidentally, today's woman isn't shy about letting a guy know she wants him. That's a nice saying that one never hears the second half to. Though I feel w...

I had already confronted her and she (I presume) lied that she was simply stressed due to private matters. Not good fella.. you don't confront someone just because she doesn't respond to your advances. She may have lied because she was freaked out. Your first post was very desperate in content and ...

I'm no practitioner, doctor, or nurse, but COVID-19 can't be contracted via the digestive system (eating). It's a respiratory disease (breathing) after all. You can't breathe while you eat, so that helps with protection from eating infected foods if that be the case. To infect the food, you'd have t...

She's sending me mixed signals. My concern is that if I'm understanding her incorrectly and end up scaring her off even more trying to confront her. She is not sending mixed signals. She sent a clear initial signal that she might be interested. That is normal. She engaged with you to find out a bit...

Trying to keep this short: there is this girl at school I'm interested in. She's beautiful. The typical thing to say, I know. She seems like a delightful personality as far as I know about her. I've talked to her a few times. Note: I myself suffered/suffer from debilitating social anxiety, but as ye...

I did a quick look over all the posts. To me, it seems like she wants to keep people around to fuel her ego and selfish needs. However, that's a very frank and hard assumption. More realistically, she's probably not mentally developed enough (through self-assessment) to act more mature. I've come ac...

I thank you for replying to this post. It's been a while since I've made it but not said a thing afterwards which I apologize for. Similar to your other threads, you are focused on how you expect other people need to behave. Fair enough...but why? I try bettering myself as much as I can and sometime...

I've come to finally detach from this person, mostly, because of their narcissism. It destroys everyone around them. Someone is always the punching bag, and it's been like this for years. But recently since last year, they've been going through episodes of depression followed by targeted anger, or v...

But mostly I think here in UK it would be interpreted as "oh, maybe this person is weird", especially when all the other vibes being given off aren't 'open'. And especially a 30yo male stranger saying hello to children. That would be more like "oh, maybe this person is a ****". ...

Hello, I'm almost 32 yo and still haven't a relationship with a girl,this makes me feel so awkward,always beenlonely,shy, not much talkative, not attractive and struggling with social anxiety,fear of rejection,i hate social media,issues with self confidence and low esteem. I can't control emotions....

It is very common. It is increasingly more and more common in the digital age in societies where poverty is at historic lows and options on how to use any available leisure time near infinite. Too many choices and instant dopamine make it hard to regulate emotions. Social media is a a huge distract...
