It's your choice to refuse to accept it, but why? Why not give it a try and experience it for yourself before deciding whether or not to believe it? Why do you associate accepting part of reality with becoming intimidating? While there's no denying certain truths or facts about life, such as...

You must not be a fan of Tillich then. ;) To me it means that being alone can be painful or glorious, depending on how you choose to look at it. "It is only when we silent the blaring sounds of our daily existence that we can finally hear the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, as it...

Hmm... You have friends, right? Family, teachers, etc? Do you behave the same way with everyone? Probably not. Which is the real you? All of them. Certainly, there are roles in which you are more comfortable or like more, but you are capable of behaving in different ways. Same as a social...

Nice!:)

I don't think you realize that it does. As humans, we have multi-faceted personalities. We are thinking, sensing, feeling and intuiting creatures. Generally, certain people are more naturally adept at one facet, and they often tend to ignore the other facets with excuses like "that's not me" or...

When you switch yourself on, you don't have to behave in a pre-determined way. That's the beauty of it. When I let go of my inhibitions, I'm fully ME. That's your gift to the world: allowing yourself to be you.

Just finished "Illusions" by Richard Baxh. Now rereading a book on REBT by Albert Ellis and Honoring The Self by Nathaniel Branden.

Then conflict is inevitable. Incidentally, there's considerable evidence to show that "that time of the month" is a myth. Even if it isn't, dealing with the challenges of a romantic relationship can be one of the most rewarding adventures a person can ever embark on. Once you leave the comfort...

Will never be the complete product? Do you feel like you have to be switched on at all times? What's wrong with being multi-faceted? I'm an introvert as well. I just realized a deep seated curiosity and love for people I have and decided to work on my social skills. It was definitely worth it.

The Bled - Mouth Breather [video=youtube] Dunno if this is "metal", per se, but I like it, and it's pretty heavy.

Some of the dumbest, ugliest, most unsuccessful and otherwise "useless" guys have the most phenomenal success with women. Trust me, I should know. ;) And vice versa. It's a skillset unto itself. Oh, and there will always be something "missing" from your life. The journey never ends...

I think you probably are clinging to some common misconceptions about relationships. It's not like a test at high school where if you get the "A" you "pass." A relationship is a dynamic thing; there is a lot going on under the surface that isn't obvious at first. If you haven't worked on...

Exactly.

I wrote my mom a letter thanking her for the various things she's done for me in my life.

I have no idea how to overcome physical addiction; no experience with that and no knowledge of it. There are ways to attack psychological addiction though. My problem with the word "failure" is the way people define it. In that sense that you are going to make mistakes and you are going to...

"Intelligent" people can do the dumbest things. And vice versa.;)

The key is that you took action. Good for you. Remember, appearances can be deceiving, ESPECIALLY on the net. Just because a person's text (words) construe the image that they're handling things fine, doesn't mean that they are actually okay. Take me, for instance. Right now I'm extremely...

I would say this is an inner belief problem. You seem to be making unrealistic demands on yourself about who you should be and what you should do. Take a look at what you're telling yourself about your life, particularly what it means if you LOST anything. You may gain some insight.

Interesting analogy with the star athlete. And just how do you think the star athlete was able to reach the level he reached? By accepting "who he was" and sitting on his butt? You think he was dealt "star athlete" cards? I highly doubt it. In fact, that seems highly disrespectful to all...
