| This happens to me all the time with handheld electronics. I spend a lot of time cleaning the screen of my 3DS only to have it eventually get a small scratch on the touch screen. Barely noticeable but drives me crazy knowing it's there. One time I went to the beach with my mother and she told me to ... |

| Congratulations on your discovery. I believe you're trying to describe how you're able to separate your 'self' from your emotions and impulses, analyse them and exercise your freedom to choose them. To control them. At least that's what I feel self awareness is. |

| Outwardly, I'm getting older but inside I still feel like a gawky teenager. My chronological age is much more than my emotional age. Inside I feel like I'm stuck at 13 or 15, and get surprised when I realise I'm driving a car or hear my adult voice. Some days feel like I'm the main character in the... |

| At least I'm not alone with this problem. Maybe I just need more practice with the telephone. Even when I know a phone call is important I keep putting it off. It's the same kind of thing with Skype (I don't really use it at all now). When my friends showed it to me I thought the computer was talking. |

| Although I've gotten a little better at this over the years, it's still a problem for me. I can't see the person's face so I don't know how to respond. Usually I have to plan a whole speech out before I make a phone call. If the call doesn't go as planned I have to think up a new speech while talkin... |

| Maybe the diploma at the end will be worth it. No one will employ someone without a diploma, right? It depends on what field of work you want to get into. If you REALLY can't tolerate college and are at the end of your rope, then maybe dropping out is best. However, if you've spent 4 years working ... |

For me, high school sucked but everything got SO much better in college. They give you the freedom to organize your own life. Some of my teachers were really funny and I even had days with no classes!
Also NO BULLIES! |

The person on the phone then said they knew m... |

I really want to go work somewhere that has a shop front or office because it's not healthy for me to work at home in isol... |

It's something I've tried to put up with for years, but I keep getting more and more annoyed by his presence in my house. He NEVER cleans up after himself (and always leaves a mess, which gets... |

| It's not your dad's fault, or your great gran dads fault. No one can take responsibility for their genes. You want to blame someone blame God. And if you don't believe in him......awesome. You're right about that. Luckily I don't physically go up to my dad and blame him. Yes, it is genetic, but it ... |

| I find Christmas shopping difficult, mostly because I don't know what to get people. Usually I make it easier for everyone else by making a Christmas list and suggest everyone else in the family do the same but then they don't do it and I'm the only one that's easy to buy for. So I'm left searching ... |

Don't think I have a favorite. I really love Homer and the trouble he gets in, and then when Marge has to clean up the mess. Some... |
