why do we seem to care
Posted Friday May 20 2011, 10:46 am
if a singular thought process is nothing more than a chemical reaction that occurs within the walls of our skull then what is so special about them? why do thoughts or feelings hold relevance they're just chemicals. and all we are is an even larger conglomeration of chemicals then why do we hold value on human life? is the chemical composition that makes my body more important that the thousands of other organisms that die every time i take a breath? why should my choice in the regards to the span of my life hold relevance to anyone?

Totally messed up from too much time on the internet during childhood
Posted Thursday May 12 2011, 7:35 pm
I feel like I'm totally messed up from too much time on the internet during childhood & teenage years!
I feel like I've learned a lot of things because of it, but I also feel like I've missed out a lot and now have pretty poor social skills. I've made better friends online than with people I know IRL, ugh. But nobody ever really invites me to things or w/e IRL and I do have some activities, but just, yeah. And I'm also a terrible procrastinator. I'd do so much better in school if internet (music, forums, news articles) wasn't distracting me all the time.
How could this impact me in the long run? I'm worried. Like pros and cons wise. I really want to make up for this loss of life experiences when I'm in coll...

The Ugly Truth?
Posted Monday May 9 2011, 12:30 am
I have never been called ugly, but I've also never been called beautiful. I'm not sure. I mean, I've liked guys but none of them have ever liked me back. In the 5th grade I told a guy I used to like him but don't anymore. (It wasn't true that I didn't like him, I just wanted to test the waters. I wanted ti see his reaction.) That was thhe biggest mistake of my life because after I said I didn't like him anymore, I heard him say, "Good." My mom also once told me that the only guys that would want to hit on me would be pedophiles, (I'm really short so I look like I'm 14 even though I turned 18 in February.) the sad part is that I think she might be right. The only guys that have ever "liked" me are old guys and some of the...

Should I Smoke Again?
Posted Wednesday May 4 2011, 8:19 pm
I'm really not sure whether I should try smoking pot again. I will absolutely, never, ever become a "pot head" but I'm not completely against doing it once in a while. I'm just a bit torn because my first experience with pot wasn't the best
My first experience with alcohol was fine. I was nervous at first being the sort of uptight, kind of anxious person I am, but it did nothing to me but made me giddy and kind of hyper. No crazy, unexpected feelings. Now, I probably drink, like once a week with friends. I went up to visit my older brother in college one weekend and he told me he wanted me to try smoking pot. I was very, very excited because I'd always wanted to feel what it's like to be high. My brother and his fri...

Why do I feel less confident in myself now that I'm prettier?
Posted Tuesday April 26 2011, 6:11 pm
when I was younger I was pretty ugly.. but I felt a lot better about myself than I do now. Like it's weird, I now think in my mind that I'm ugly and everything until I look in a mirror and I'm always surprised that I actually look good.. so why do I feel so bad about myself? I feel like I'm a lot harder on myself than I am with others. I feel awkward and self conscious.. I wish I could just be more confident but idk what to do.

Is it normal? And why do I feel so gross?
Posted Monday April 25 2011, 9:50 pm
I'm sixteen and a female.
This is weird for me to post advice about this on here, but whatever.
I masturbate frequently. I mean, not crazy, like to the point it runs my life, but about two or three times a day. Sometimes it's because I'm turned on for a random reason, or just because it feels good. But sometimes I just feel so gross afterwards.
I also watched some porn last night and today. I feel so nasty afterwards and I don't want to feel that way because it is normal, right? So why do I feel so disgusted after I do those types of things?
Thanks a lot!

why dont i like getting high?
Posted Sunday April 24 2011, 1:50 am
I smoked weed a lot this summer. I enjoyed it a LOT. I'd smoke two or three times a week and I just loved it. I had a bad high once or twice but it wasn't a big deal (I have generalized anxiety disorder so I figured this would happen sometimes).
My anxiety got really bad after that summer (I'm talking panic attacks and depersonalization, which I'd never had before), so I stopped smoking for the three months that my anxiety was very bad for. After it cleared up I tried smoking again, and it was nice, but it wasn't that great content feeling I'd had before. I mean I laughed and had fun, etc, but it wasn't that great.
I don't look forward to smoking and honestly I don't want to do it much, maybe on occasion at a ...

Disordered thoughts about Food.
Posted Wednesday April 20 2011, 8:55 pm
20/F
For the past two years I've had disordered thoughts about food. I don't vomit and I don't starve. I always eat at least 1200 calories, but sometimes more. I don't binge like I used to, but some days I may eat over 2000 calories and it's unnecessary considering that I'm not physically active. How do I stop eating when I'm not hungry?
