| I think most psychopathic behaviours, such as the ones of your average bully, are wired. There are lots of cases in which those people had decent education and people that cared about them, but they turned out to be violent douchebags. Still, they should be held responsible of their actions, or else... |

As long as he doesn't do it in public, I wouldn't bother much. His penis will be his best friend for the rest of his life.
Until it stops working, of course. Then it'll ruin his life. |

| Carrey's character is a complete loner. He's supposed to have a couple of friends, but that part of his character didn't feel believeable to me. He spends most of his time drawing or writing in notebooks when he's not swallowed by the rutine of his nondescript job. He never knows what to say, becaus... |

| He was a fantastic writer, but not so much of long stories. He worked without an outline and never knowing where he was going to end up, which is interesting in a experimental way, but not so much if you're after a cohesive novel. I couldn't finish neither The castle nor The Process; his biography i... |

| I loved Slaughterhouse-Five. It resonated emotionally with me. I'm still struggling with self-doubts and general anxiety about something that happened a year ago, so its message of calmness facing the inevitable gave me strength. I finished Cat's Cradle today, but it was lazily written and most of t... |

| I loved my last girlfriend, or at least I believed I did, and I thought she did too, until she decided to fall for another guy she knew for barely a month, because, after four years, "relationships aren't that important after all". No matter what I do, I can't find that happiness on my own. I wouldn... |

| My current therapist thinks I have major depression on top of it, yes. I see how all the symptoms fit. But he's the kind of professional that doesn't believe in meds, so he tries to snap people out of it by correcting their viewpoints, assumptions, etc. I don't think this is something that can be fi... |

| My brother has severe autism. He's twenty seven years old and the mind of a ten years old. He doesn't seem to be able to control things like gass, saliva, anger, etc. He breathes heavily, as if he's slurping. I shared the room with him for ten years until we had a big fight and I got my own. I know ... |

| My abysmal ability to trust others disappeared when my ex left me a year ago. I used to believe I would be better in the long run if I tried to put up with classmates and co-workers with a smile, forcing myself to engange in their chatter and try to care about their inanities. It pleased her, and sh... |
