I'm a very sensitive person… sometimes I feel like I'm acting overly sensitive… whenever something sad happens in a book, movie,TV show, graphic novel,etc. I start to cry big crocodile tears. For example, when my mom tells me storys about abused children, and shows pictures of dead baby's body dumped in garbage cans,I cry for 2 hours. Whenever I watch those commercials about starving children and abused animals I start crying. When I watched a video with children seeing their dad's come back from the military and run to them so happy,I start crying. As I'm writing this I'm crying. It can be stuff like that, or dumb stuff like in the lion king, when Mufasa died and Simba was upset,I started crying. In the hunger games when Ru got shot I started crying. When I read in a book a kid started to die because he saved his friends from zombies I started to cry. When I hear about how slaves are treated I cry. When I heard a story about a girl and boy in India who got raped and beat up, then were slowly dying on the streets but no one would help them I cried. I recognize and depressed over things that others don't even notice, like the Yanomami tribe, when I read about them,I cried a bit. But when I told my friends, they just said that was sad. Am I too sensitive?????? (link)
There is no such thing as being "too sensitive." Some people have stronger reactions to certain situations than others. Some react in anger, some cry, some get really happy. I myself, am a very sensitive person and I cry over everything also so I can relate to how you're feeling. Never question or doubt yourself, you are who you are, embrace it!


I am a 25 year old female and for somr reason people seem to think me abd my cousin are dating some people even think wr are married and I dont know why. Its not like we flirt or anything or act like we are . We just hang out all the time because even though we are cousins him and I are likr best friends we are super close. I will give you sn example . The other day we went todairy queen to go eat and we told the lafy who was taking our order we were paying seperate and the lady gave us a funny look and kept asking my cousin if he sure he wasn't paying for mine and he said yes and then gave him a dirty look. Why do people think we are in a relationship together? (link)
Some people see two people, and automatically make assumptions. That's the beauty of judgement. This will happen all the time. Try not to take it too personally, and brush it off. They don't know you, you don't know them, disreguard their opinions.


I'm trying to wrap my head around this. I've read why men have affairs, and this man does not fall into any category. He's in his 50's, I'm in my 40's, so it's not like I'm some young, hot, woman. In fact, I am not attractive at all (even worse with out clothes on). He loves his wife, he's told me many times, he would never leave her. I'm not exciting, I am not confident and have very low self-esteem, so, it's not like I bring anything to the table. He and his wife still have an active sex life, she doesn't make him mad, they have two wonderful sons and are the perfect couple. He says he has never cheated on his wife and feels guilty doing it (which I know I'm going to hear in the comments, he's lying, but for sake of argument, assume he is telling the truth). Yet, we've met a few times for sex, talked and spent the day together, so you can't say it was just for the sex. He and his wife still go out, he talks fondly of her, they don't have any financial problems. It's not like he wants to leave her. I would think, if a man is going to have an affair, he would reach for the sky, not for some loser. (link)
Guys who look mainly for sex in women actually TARGET insecure women. They can sense it. My advice, stay clear of this man. Wait for the guy that wants more than just sexual intercourse, but one that wants you for you. One that can see past your insecurities, and knows how to bring you higher. Now you said you're in your 40's, and I understand it may get lonely, you want company, and you want that sense of love and support-be confident. Confidence is sexy. Try to stay out of this unfaithful marriage situation, it'll only leave you in the dirt. At the end of the day, when you catch feelings, who will he choose, his wife of many years, or a fling? Think about it.


hi! im a 13 year old girl, and i have these two best friends who I love hanging out with, but they don't really like each other. I want to do things with both of them but I don't want them getting into conflict. should I just hang out with them separately? what do I do? (link)
Your best bet would be to encourage both of your friends that you're supportive of them. You never want one friend thinking that you're choosing one over the other. If they don't agree to make ammends and hangout with you as a group, inform them that you're going to need to seperate time in your schedule for the both of them. Split it so they both have your time equally so there are no arguements. Also, you may want to try and encourage them to work out their differences so you can all become close and do things together.


13/m
So i am taller than most people in my grade but my best freind is taller than me. He always says im short for my age and my moms boyfreinds son says the same thing. So i want your opinion. Im roughly 5'8 and like i said 13. Thanks for you response (link)
Size doesn't matter, at all. Whether you're 16 and 5"8 or 13 and 5"8. Personally, i'm 5"2, and I'm much other than 13. You're taller than most 13 year olds, but once again, size shouldn't matter. Be happy within yourself.


I have a project in school and I don't have a good group. I'm afraid we're going to fail. My dad said I could get digitour tickets if I get a grade higher than 90 or 90. I really want to go and the project is due tomorrow. What do I do?

(P.S. I went to my friends and they keep on saying "Do your best then if you don't get it there will always be a next year!" (link)
The best thing to do in groups, is to give it all you've got. Your teacher/advisor may see your effort, and give you an individual grade. Encourage your group memebrs that you NEED this grade, and it is really important to you. Be sure to use communication. "Communication is key." Also, if that doesn't work. Try and speak with your teacher/advisor and let them know of the problems in the group.
