Now I find myself spending hours walking around campus trying to find a quiet place to study, usually wi... |

| I've fasted before, the longest I've done it is two weeks. Mainly they were tea, water and juice fasts (that is, I drink all of these on a fast, I've never done just exclusively one of these.) I've found the first 1-2 days are the hardest, the rest of the days are easier for a while until the deep ... |

| I think men have basically been emasculated. They're treated like dirt. Like women don't need them. I still like having doors opened for me, chairs pulled out, etc. But it seems women now a days are contemptuous of those behaviors as though they feel men are treating them as "inferior" and "incapab... |

| You are asking for honest feedback, so I will give you some. I think that the crux of your issues might be portrayed in your following statement: I've noted that people are offended easily and when they feel offended they proceed to do one of two things: 1) Cut off all contact with said person who ... |

| I don't think you're an ass. If you didn't know what to say to comfort your friend, then it's understandable that you behaved the way you did. |

This happens very often to me - not only in real life, but online as well - I keep getting banned and blacklisted, without knowing what I did wrong. you need to ask people what you're doing wrong. someone will be wi... |

It became a "taboo" for me correcting other people, and it makes me so anxious that I can't breath. I had to leave some ... |

| I would get it done while she is still a child. I dont know where you are from but here in the UK there is no funding for adults so you would have to go private and it costs about £300 just for diagnosis, then there is very little help after that. So if you want a dsiagnosis get it now :) Good luck... |

| If these are people paid to instruct others on facts - then you have every right to be angry if they get something wrong (and voice it - it's no use if you just *think* that they're wrong). I am unabashed about that - I had an Iranian teacher once who made spelling mistakes all over. Granted, she w... |
