| I did some work in wafer fab as well as thin film metallization. I have since moved into failure analysis of electronic components. Microelectronics and more specifically materials engineering has been my line of work over 25 years. I don't have a college degree, but most of my work is on an enginee... |

| Sounds to me like the director was a bit exploititive in his relationship with the film's main character. His "friend" becomes too intense and the director walks away from him. His "friend" commits suicide and the director continues to publish the movie; not doubt earning Ooohs and Ahhs from the fil... |

| You've made it man! You've got a career, a wife and kids! Be proud of that! Take your family somewhere it will be just you and them, like a vacation cabin in the forest or by the lake. Make sure there's no TV/Radio/Internet/Cell Phone etc. Just your and your loved ones. Spend time talking to one ano... |

| I'm absolutely terrible at starting conversations. Like others have stated, listen first. Listen to what the prevailing chatter is in a room. If I'm in room and the people are talking about sports or TV shows, I know that I can't start a conversation about my special interests of trains, aviation an... |

Does your agoraphobia allow you to step outside like say into your backyard or some other small outdoo... |

| Real friends are rare, most people in your life will be aquaintances. Glad you stuck with the class. Try and get some contact information from some of your classmates before it ends, that way you can keep in touch through social media. I find social media a much easier way of communicating. Sometime... |

If you can't acccept me the way I am, well that's your loss. I'm not going to change to fit into socia... |

| Bravo! You broke the ice! Take one small step at a time. Many people your age are new to a college campus and are looking for friends too. Does this school have any clubs you might be interested in? There will be people with similar interests. That's how I met my wife 25 years ago. Here are some wor... |

| Here's something to chew on: Colleges are one of the few places where the paying customer has to park the furthest from the door. When I went to college in the mid-1980s, customer service was not one of the university's strong points. I've always looked at the student/university relationship as a cu... |

Back in 1986, I was dismissed from the university for poor grades. Sputtered around in the community college scene for a semester and entered the Wonderful W... |

| To the OP: Do you have to take a shower or can you soak in a bath tub? I'm not a big fan of showers but I do like to relax the muscles in a hot bath tub. You might want to try that instead and you'll get clean. You don't have to douse yourself with perfume and there are unscented deodorants. I use m... |

You are one of God's magnificent creations. Be fearless and proud! While I don't have a diagnosis, I was somewhat relieved when my t... |

| It is always in the middle of the night when we feel the loneliest or the most anxiety. I would stay away from dark and somber music near bedtime. Funny thing, when I was a teen, I too had problems of feeling lonely in the middle of the night. I tried getting up and getting dressed to go outside. Ou... |

I called and called for him and then found his body. Sometimes, I think nature just takes its toll. 14 years is with... |

| If you can't get outside, try doing some excercises in the house to get your heart pumping. It could something as simple as going up and down steps. Increased metabolic rates will have a positive effect on your mood. Play some invigorating music while you're excercising. Holts' piece "Mars the Bring... |
