There is not much I can add besides agreeing completely with the following: "Regarding speaking to a crowd, one thing I've found to help is NOT TO SPEAK TO ONE PERSON! If you're nervous then do not make direct, prolonged, eye contact with ANYBODY!" But, I want to agree from the other perso...

I'd like to login and be able to click directly on posts that I have done. Like, a record of my posts of something. It gets hard to remember and it's a hassle to have to go through email when I'm already here anyway.

I have a silly way of diffusing verbal attacks.

I will say something like, "save the drama for yo mama." It's so unexpected that they just stop at look you. Sometimes they even laugh and all is well.

I am glad that I have made you laugh, as you have done the same for me! :) I'm still not sure how you are in denial about how your opinion about women is wrong. Your reference about the lottery only helps prove my point. Yet, you still deny that it does so? I was hoping your new response would actua...

I think mollysmama has some good points. I, too, was wondering more about the violence. It could be that the conflict in your relationship is because of both you and him, but it is just as likely (if not MORE likely) that he is demonstrating signs of an abuser. Just up and leaving a relationship is ...

Just a simple haircut, hair dye, or a free makeover at the mall. Just do something to doll yourself up, even if you don't go anywhere...

Your situation sounds really difficult and complex. I hope that you are able to get on/continue on your path to healing. Opinions and attitudes about cheating really depend on the individual. I think it takes a lot for someone to forgive a cheater, and if you are able to find it in your heart to do ...

It is disheartening that men continue to brush women off as "venting" or having "anger problems" when we try to show men the gender inequality that exists. Rather than actually listen to what we say, you just toss it aside. Or, men respond with hatred and personal, Ad Hominem, at...

CZ, Yes, I agree. I'll clarify what I meant (It was about 2am when I posted my response here!) about sex expectations of marriage. Of course when you marry there is an expectation of sex. Absolutely! But, what I meant was more of that just because you are married does not mean that one partner is re...

Hi Trout, Are you trying to argue that I have a weak grasp on reality because I have "attacked" your advice? That sounds pretty arrogant to me. Have I attacked your advice and "insight"? I never noticed, actually. I don't pay attention to names of posters besides the first person...

My husband can spend hours on the computer searching car news and posting at car forums. I finally just asked him about how/why he does it because I get bored on the computer after 15 minutes. He just talked about it and I asked him if there was a psych forum. He googled it and I checked it out and ...

Hello, JAKJRF...that was a very thorough response. All I have to add is this: The first step to changing your behavior is to stop minimizing what you are doing. You are only accepting partial blame for YOUR violent behavior. You attempt to justify your reaction twice: "it quickly escalated when...

Dramatic change

That sounds like a very significant behavior/personality change in your daughter. It does not sound like some sort of duty training--it sounds like something happened to her, something traumatic. It could be something as "small" as a traumatic experience in a social setting--she was humili...
