| Very Wrong in my opinion. I have never had a relationship for very long or had many at all but one thing I have always had trouble understanding is affairs or cheating. I think in a relationship, it's completely normal to look at other people and think they are attractive, that's natural and you can... |

| Does anyone else have this issue? I can't say no when asked to do something that I don't want to do, such as a favour and It leads to me being constantly used over and over again, mostly by the same people, including my own parents. I'm constantly asked to do things for people that sometimes I shoul... |

| Roo95, Wow... just wow. When I was younger, my gullibility got me taken advantage a number of times. I hope you quit that job. I would of likely reacted the same way. When I'm about to blow up, I always feel like the walls are closing, I'm drowning in a rip tide, and someone is playing Rap music cr... |

| My experience sounds similar to yours. Im 24 and I currently work as a detailer for 6 years at a car dealership. I had a few meltdowns during my time at a certain ford dealership due to poor treatment. I had to work with this guy who would tell manager he's busy and needs my help. Id end up having t... |

| I understand what you mean. I'm high functioning but the worry, anxiety and stress from change are what are holding me back. I feel stuck in life because of this. I could find a better, well paying job and finally move out of my flat that resembles a crack den but the fear of change and how it might... |

I can completely relate to this. I bought a really nice 2011 volvo c30 r design a few weeks ago, absolutely love it but... |
