Only feel anger/boredom, contempt for others.
Posted Thursday August 27 2009, 2:25 am
The entire extent of my emotional range is comprised of anger and contempt, and boredom and neutrality. I don't feel sadness, happiness, longing, grief or contentment. I'm described by others as brilliant, an analogical thinker, skillful and talented. Also described as distant, untrusting, uncaring and hateful by anyone I allow the mask to slip around.
I find most other humans to be naive, short-sighted, dim-witted, and stubborn fools. I am very perceptive, and I can read people very well. This almost always leads to the inevitable discovery that each person is a selfish beast who has no idea how things really work and therefore no clue about the world around them. This leads to a lot of contempt for most people. Contempt is ...

I may have Asperger's syndrome...where can I find help?
Posted Monday August 24 2009, 12:14 am
I lack decent communication skills, I'm very shy, I don't like making eye contact or smiling at people, and I have difficulty making new friends and creating relationships. Such tasks as dating are very difficult for me and I'm only 21 years old. It feels like I'm never able to talk about things other people are interested in. I tried examining myself with a DSM book and I think I might have "Asperger's" but I don't know for sure since I haven't seen a doctor about these problems. Where can I get help?

I am really afraid of insects...ALL bugs...even butterflies...
Posted Sunday August 23 2009, 11:20 pm
I am SO incredibly afraid of bugs. Any type of bug can really freak me out. Usually I end up crying and feel like I am going to pass out. I end up with wanting to throw up, too.
I know most people aren't so afraid of insects. I mean, my fears goes as far as harmless bugs like butterflies. I simply do not want their legs to touch me. It freaks me out to even think about their legs crawling on my skin.
The most I could come up with was a fear since infancy, as I was taken to the hospital because I had SO many insect bites on me. The doctors just informed them that I was more allergic than most people to these bites and needed to be kept away from times I would come in contact with bugs. Of course, I don't...

Death
Posted Sunday August 23 2009, 8:25 am
18/M. I usually come to advicenators to ask about girls, always preoccupied with my life. But my head's in a different place.
About three months ago, I was staying up way later than I should have been, as usual, and the thought of death crossed my mind. I think that was the first time I really comprehended death, my own death. Ever since then, I've been trying to live my life normally, and usually it's not a problem, but I can't get it out of my head. And, lying alone in the dark, I can't stop thinking about it. I've lost a lot of sleep, just trying to avoid lying alone in the dark. How can I go back to the way I was three months ago, without the constant thought hanging over my head? I know I have no business worrying about ...

Should I seek therapy? Who should I believe?
Posted Thursday August 20 2009, 1:27 am
I am 28 years old and at a crossroads in my life.
While I can appreciate that I am not truly impoverished, I feel I have lost much of my livelihood in the last 10 years.
I can't seem to get started in life, not with a career, not with a romance, not with a passion or search for spiritual meaning... and now I'm starting to gain weight and worried that I will become obese and trapped like my mother in a dysfunctional marriage, complacent in a constant state of denial.
I am unstable in so many ways at this point, I feel I need professional help - yet others still seem to think I have everything going for me...well mostly anyway. They say I'm still young, pretty, talented, college-educated, living re...

Nervous
Posted Wednesday August 19 2009, 11:42 pm
I get so nervous if I go into something new or with any kind of big change. Nervous to the point where I throw up. I feel sick at my stomach and get nervous and I stress out to my breaking point over things that shouldn't do this to me. It has happened to me before..and this time I'm starting college in a few days..leaving my friends and family and its scaring me.
Has anyone else ever felt this much anxiety over something as small as this? Any advice to calm the nerves and better adjust to any new situations?

Posted Wednesday August 19 2009, 1:04 pm
I really feel like im going to kill myself because I am never happy anymore. And I'm just a 13 years old girl. I want to change to a online school because I figure I won't get teased as much, but they are already closed for the school year. I can't go to my school and I don't want to run away. Maybe I'm a coward but I really do need help.

Home alone and bored...ideas for good entertainment?
Posted Friday August 14 2009, 10:53 pm
I'm stuck home this weekend all alone and I'm so bored. My parents went on a business trip and they let me stay home but there's nothing to do! I really don't feel like going out either because I'm on my period and I'm tired a lot. Is there anything fun to do without leaving the house? I thought maybe some sort of neat free internet game or something? I can't think of anything. I don't know...

How can I relax when driving? I'm afraid to drive...
Posted Friday August 14 2009, 6:40 pm
I got in a car accident when I was really young and I always get very nervous when I'm in a vehicle. Well, I'm getting older now and I know I need to learn how to drive so I can go places and find a job. I was thinking about taking driver's ed this year in school but I am afraid I will get too nervous and fail or do something stupid. The thought of being behind the wheel is REALLY scary for me. Are there any ways to relax while driving or anything? Suggestions, at least? Thanks.

ive been cutting myself for about two years. its not constant, in fact i stopped for about seix months, but lately ive kindof picked up where i left off and ive been cutting every few days now. i really really want to stop, but everytime i look it up online, i see things like "take a warm bath, go for a run, blahblahblah." and i really dont think that taking a bath or running is going to help me to stop cutting. i need ways on how to stop.

Stuck in a rut...or something...honestly I have no idea
Posted Monday August 10 2009, 7:51 pm
This is a little long but its very important to me, soplease take the time to read;
So, background info,I am 19 years old, I am someone who gives alot of advice, in fact I have had a column on this site for sometime, so believe me I have thought this through in my head times, in most of the ways I would recommend to others. Secondly, when about 2-3 years ago, I went through a reasonably long period of on again off again depression, never saw a doctor or anything but did get some councilling and they said it was most likely mild bipolar depression. Anyway you don't really need to know much about that to answer the question.
The problem is I can feel myself going into some kind of rut, similar to the way i would feel two year...

Is he real?
Posted Saturday August 8 2009, 12:41 am
Ok, so i am a day dreamer and lately i have been day dreaming about this gorgeous guy that i made up and now he is all i can think about. I draw what he is supposed to look like. I think about him CONSTANTLY. Well, earlier today i saw him. It sounds crazy because i made him up, but i saw him a party. And he looked at me like he knew me but he didnt know from where. When i saw him i thought i was dreaming but i wasnt. It turned out we are going to the same school in fall so i went to talk to him but after that i couldn't find him and someone told me he left. What should i do? Should i pursue him in the fall and try to date him or do you think it was my mind just playing with me?
