Quote button isn't working as well as I'd have liked it to. Moving on... I agree completely. However, the other night I was reading about something I hadn't heard of before: Learned helplessness. To make the explanation a little easier, I'll just post a link so it can be long-winded for me...

The most relevant question involving sex is its relevance in the grand sense of life: What does physical affection, relayed in its utmost intensity and shared between two people, offer to self-actualization and contentedness before death? From my point of view this is how I see the foregoing...

That's it in a nutshell; although I do think that in order to be complete, some sense of closeness has to have existed at one point or another. Basically, people need to be able to function as individuals and realize that the individual is the only one who can complete his or her own life, and...

That is pretty weird! I'm not entirely sure...if that's true, though, I'm going to have to get back at my parents. ;)

Warren Zevon: Indifference Of Heaven I've been listening to him a lot lately; I go in phases, and I've settled on about four artists now. "Mutineer" is also one of my 'favorite' songs (although 'favorite' depends on the context of my mood...which is oddly enough heavily influenced by what I'm...

Kurt Vonnegut?

I clicked this button after completing my last post, and a girl still hasn't appeared beside me?...

Jimi Hendrix fits into this REALLY well: There's this biography written by his fiancee, Monika Danneman, and in it there is a picture that Hendrix had drawn of those numbers. The 6 and the 9 are one, the circles of each head shared and the tails protruding on the top and bottom; he saw a lot...

I second what FriskyMarmot has said. Your experience might be one of the subconscious reasons I stopped watching TV long ago :P Seriously, though, I have had a lot of similar breakdowns. Usually when I hit things or throw things or yell it's because I'm angry at someone or similarly spiteful...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. I don't know what to say; this really did uplift me, however, and everything you had to say was wonderfully portrayed and got me thinking about a lot of things -- mainly how success is actually possible, as is love. At my age I couldn't know either of...

I was just thinking the same thing. The other day I was looking through the pictures of the people here, and it was a very touching experience. Just seeing the faces and expressions of all of these people that are going through so much pain and have so much to offer to humanity; even if we...

IgnoredOne: Thanks immensely for the comment. You have a clear and eloquent succinctness to your writing that I really admire, more so now for the fact that you've shed further light on the subject for everyone's benefit...and particularly my own, after having calmed down after my rant...

I'm trying to figure that out :) Ideally, my need to be love and my need to love would be equal, but I don't know if I can say that that's the case right now. I really do want someone to reciprocate with; a girl whom I can share my ideas with and who could share her ideas with me. In short, I...

How did I miss this before?...Sorry about that. If I had known this was up here I would've read it straight away. I hate gushing, but honestly, this is an absolutely excellent example of fine writing. I was able to relate to everything you said, the imagery was perfect, the dialogue gave it...

I can't understand this concept for the life of me. Earlier today I posted on another forum, trying to make peace with everyone -- I had a lot of pent up resentment, so I spoke my mind and got everything off my chest. The forum had a section where it said to do just that -- get "anything else"...

10 more points than me :D OHHHH NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The results do seem unnecessarily harsh, though... On the overall affectedness scale you are probably anxious and or depressed much of the time, which would be fitting as you really are one of the most pathetic excuses for a human being...

Yes, I do, and at the same time I don't. That's what I'm struggling with -- what else is there? It's definitely a primal urge, no matter how sophisticated it is; I've said on multiple occasions that I don't care at all about sex, but I would like physical affection. I would also like to...

LMAO!! Oh God, I'm afraid I'm losing my mind. This was my original post up until I caught myself... "I don't know how to use the quote thing, so I'm just going to do it the old fashioned way ;) Guest: There really is too much pain in the world. Either that, or just enough; either way...

Chris, I don't know you very well, but assuming that most people who are completely bereft of physical affection, friends, and in-person human contact in general have similar perceptions of the world, I'd like to think otherwise. I've only been here for a short while, and I don't plan on...

Guess I'm giving this thread a significant bump. Oh well :) The results were frighteningly accurate; it's pretty impressive how close to the mark they were. Your Existing Situation Pursues his objectives and his own-self-interest with stubborn determination; refuses to compromise or make...
