Anyone interested? It would kind of be a study of the cards. Or to consult each other if a confusing reading came up.

The details aren't important but I've been burning some bridges lately. I have isolated myself from my social networking sites where people know me by name and turned my phone off. Wanting to isolate from the people who know me in real life. Been in a really bad place and gotten some help for...

This can apply to any self improvement, though in my experience it has been limited to acquiring more education (and therefore autonomy) and weight loss. Whenever I announce that I am trying to improve myself they support me. Then, when I actually do the thing, they start to get very nervous...

Would it be game over for you? What if they were willing to be sexual with you, but you knew that they didn't really enjoy it as much as you did (in no way your fault) or had the same sexual needs as you? For an asexual or gray-asexual, when is the best time to disclose this info? Before you...

We were working together and I was going to let her have it anyway considering it was a small tip that would have been hard to split and she has a family to support. I was shocked when she took it because we get on well together. I know she is desperate and I'm not mad but now I feel like I...

If both siblings are minors and close in age, is it the responsibility of the older one to be a good role model for the younger one, or is that the responsibility of the parent? I ask this because recently my sister (only 2 years younger than me) has criticized me for being a poor role model...

Can anyone relate? It's like the meaninglessness of life has totally taken over. But this thread isn't about finding or creating meaning in life. It's about realizing that money, status, degrees, excess are not a route to happiness like society promises they are. Yet I cling to these empty...

I think it does. Especially because so many ads promise the consumer that if they buy the product it will lead to popularity, success and love. What do you think? Do you have to be especially mindful in order to not get sucked into the false promises featured in these types of ads? I do...

Or will attempting this only cause me to repress them, sending me into some sort of psychosis later, when the repressed memories resurface, and in the meantime, torturing me from the depths of my psyche. What happens when you have confronted your bad memories but they refuse to let you alone?

Soon my school schedule is going to change so that I will come in contact with way more people than basically ever before. I am struggling because I am painfully shy and afraid of people. I want to meet people and make friends but I am literally terrified of people. They are so confusing and...

Has anyone picked up any new hobbies (or are you planning to)? Do you already have a couple? I find that hobbies are invaluable for lonely people because they help us to refocus our energy on more positive things and can serve as a comfort and distraction during rough times. They also help me...

Since I have been on this site I have not been able to rep anyone. I have experimented with different browsers and signing in and out of my account but these things don't help. Maybe I have to turn cookies off to rep? But I don't know how to do that.

Both in dress and mannerisms. I was running errands this morning and noticed a patron at the bank wearing PJ bottoms. Students often wear PJ bottoms to classes and baggy sweats, torn jeans, etc...* As for slack manners, no one seems to properly introduce people anymore, or greet each other...

Does your college consider severe anxiety (actual anxiety disorders) to be a learning disability? I'm not talking about testing anxiety, but the anxiety that can cause one to have panic attacks in class and need to leave, or for people who miss classes because of anxiety.

How do you deal with the build up of anxiety before a social event that you are obligated to attend? Ex: a family gathering, holiday event, or work/school/church party? Meditation, exercise, meds?......

Does being lonely make you less concerned with how you present to others or does it push you to be your best in the hopes of attracting people? I have been at both extremes and was wondering what other people felt.

Yes. I have a personality disorder. No. I'm not going to kill/stalk/manipulate/use you. But no one believes me. It seems that if you have a personality disorder (mine happens to be avoidant personality) and you are honest about it, people are terrified of you. Why?

Does anyone else struggle with this condition? I blush almost every time I meet someone new or have to talk to someone I don't know very well. It's a social anxiety thing, not because I'm embarassed which is the reason most people blush. Sometimes it happens for no reason even. I could be...

Just this night I found myself thinking about my upcoming therapy session and how utterly creepy it is that I don't know a thing about the person I have been telling some of the most personal and intimate details of my life to, for over two years. I told a relative this and they found my...
