    Alex's Drawings

    These are great. I have always wished I could draw, tried and dismally failed. And to be able to produce these with a mouse is even more amazing. I can't even write my name neatly with a mouse lol. Keep posting them :)

    I bet you're a leader ...

    I totally agree that most people are fake. In fact I know for a fact that a hell of a lot of people are. "I didn't want to go out last night but they wanted me to" "I quite like that but if you say so they think you're weird" "I'll have to try that, everyone says it's great" "You don't want...

    Scams That Prey On the Lonely

    It's more a case of preying on people being gullible, rather than lonely. The vast majority of scams have 'scam' written all over them, and if you stop to think you can quickly identify these. I could never be taken in because I'm too selfish anyway. No matter how lonely I was, or how much the...

    Partial Suicide?

    I'm sorry, but the two paragraphs you quote just sound like something someone slung together because it sounded arty, and has no real meaning. I would certainly not consider shedding the materialistic and focusing on the spiritual to be any kind of suicide, personally. Perhaps shedding your...

    controlling people/partners..

    It sounds like he is experiencing some of the classic symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder. I respect the original poster as the only thing I hate more than people who abuse or try to control their partners, is the partners themselves who allow it to happen. Unless they're into BDSM and...

    What did you do to Raise your self esteem?

    For me, the reason I clicked on that option is because I decided to simply live with my low self-esteem, rather than try to fight it. Someone who often thinks he's inferior is part of who I am - and to try to change that is to deny my problems. With my condition the way it is, there is often no...

    Imagine the person in your life you most admire...

    I have never admired anyone, so I can't pretend to know exactly what you're feeling. I did have a friend once who cut me off after knowing each other for about 20 years, simply because my depressive condition was getting worse and I wasn't fun to be around any more (this is not me speculating...

    Triggered by FB...How do some people create such a huge social life?

    One of the reasons that I hate Facebook is that the whole thing is so fake to me. It breeds a culture and a society of phoneys, people who have 500 people in their 'friends' list but in reality they've probably only ever met about a dozen of them. For many people it's just a competition, see who...

    My Story

    The main thing I can say in response to this is, perhaps you could try to befriend that inner demon rather than fighting against it. I live in harmony with mine now, and I've accepted all the negative things it tells me as being a part of who I am, and I'm a lot more content.

    online dating sites

    @putter65, If it makes you feel slightly better, you would probably find that an alarmingly high number of the 'women' on there were actually confidence tricksters. So the odds of finding a real woman interested are probably quite slim to start with. I have tried online dating sites in the...

    how do you explain to someone your social anxiety?

    The reason I'm so negative about this particular situation is that, I have found in life, there are three possible responses to attempting to explain depression or anxiety to someone- A) From the fellow sufferer - "I know exactly how you feel". Which makes the conversation a bit of a waste of...

    Someone mentioning sex

    Sorry, by 'interested', I meant genuinely interested in someone as a person romantically. Apologies for the ambiguity! @DoubttheRabbit I agree, you can generally tell when something is being mentioned suggestively by watching the eyes more than anything. Personally I've never known a girl bring...

    Someone mentioning sex

    As a general rule I have normally found that the girls who act interested, are the ones who aren't. The ones who are interested, won't say anything. And the ones who slip sex 'casually' into a conversation, do so because that's what they want. Obviously not a 100% clear-cut rule, but this has...
