I'd be surprised to learn if there wasn't a thread on this somewhere on here already. But who here is afraid that you, or even worse, you and your family, will wind up homeless?

So, this a favorite topic for a few stand up comedians: Dennis Leary and George Carlin are the two that come to mind the quickest. Basically I'd like everyone to come up with a list of words that piss them off to no end for reasons that are beyond your understanding. I hate: 'eatery' - this is...

So, we have let's see the faces, baby faces, and pet faces threads. I figure it's about time. It doesn't have to be a picture totally topless, mind you. So....who wants to start?

Lot's of people likely welcome the Spring with lot's of joy....the trees and flowers start to bloom again, the sun shines, the weather is nice and, if you're still in school, you get some time off. And who wouldn't like to go out there and enjoy a beautiful Spring day while you can? Even a...

So, this is gonna lead us into meaning of life, God, etc. territory. That's ok. What do you think death is? What happens when we die? Is the universe completely uncaring and just totally absurd? Is there a God? If so, does he care at all about us? Why does life suck? WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE?!?

So, I really don't know what I want to do with my life. If my mom dies soon, then I'd like to get a job working on a farm. If she hangs on for a while, I'll need to support her which means I'd need to make more than a farmer does. However, since work sucks, it's horrible that you should have to...

So this thread should be sort of ineresting. The idea is to describe your earliest memories that you can dig up. They can be totally fragmentary ones too whose context are completly forgotten. For instance, I remember being very small and underneith, and also being bounced around on top of, a...

So today I was sitting by the river reading a book. It was so nice and pleasant. Normally I feel sorta sad that I don't get to share these trips I take with somebody else, but today it looks like such things will remain just a pipe dream. The incident was trivial enough. I was on th bench and a...

So, I've been growing this bad boy out since December and have at times felt self-conscious about it...the only person who has registered a complaint about it has been my mom since she wants her smooth-faced little baby boy back. What say ye? Beards or no beards? Let's be sure to hear from the...

Ok, I've been kicking around this idea for a while. Like two years ago, when I was really in the depths of 'social anxiety', as fear of people and all the honeysuckle that goes with it was the dominant aspect in my life, I would go online and read all I could about it. I'm not sure what I was looking...

If you're looking for an actual penpal the German post office has this really cool program that can hook you up with pen pals from all around the world. It's really great if you're not too good with the social skills cuz all you have to do is to go on their website, list what your interessts and...

Alright, I'm 22 and my time at the university is almost over. What's freaking me out is that, even though I've had a miserable time functioning in the school environment, school is probably the best place to make friends and get away with poor socialization skills (so long as you pay your...

So, in my many years of social isolation I've come up with many postulations about how I got where I am, why I am indeed this way, etc. I have also gone through many different phases of how I perceive and react to the isolation: self-pity to intense fear of, but longing for, people. Then on to...

During the last few months there have been a few instances where I've felt like a prisoner confined in a cell. The first instance was actually at school. I'm a tutor, but nobody ever comes by my room for tutoring, so basically I get a paid study-hall 3 hours a week, which, don't get me wrong, is...

Not having a social life of any kind does afford me quite a bit of time to kill. Often that time gets spend just stagnating in my room staring off into space and thinking a lot, but reading is something I do enjoy so whenever I start to feel a screw coming loose in my head from complete lack of...

I was reading a thread here about how good looking, happy people are disagreeable to many people here and one of the comments really jumped out at me. One person posted that there was some kind of study where people were showed pictures of other people and those that were more attractive looking...

Ok, so since I'm incredibly self-conscious I tend to pour over every minute little thing that I do whenever I'm around people, and some of them are quite strange. The point of this thread is for you to share some of the bizare quirks of yours that you think are somehow related to your social...

I've had an account here for several months now but I never posted, so here's my first hello. I've been freindless since I was 16--I'm 21 now--and I'm thinking that this is always how it's going to be. I used to be in a really bad way. I was terrified to take the bus or to just sit in class with...
