| I have read lots of cases in which authoritarian governments that have violently repressed any opposition even non-violent opposition. I don't know why but I seem to feel torn when I read about government repressing violent opposition as though its doing it to defend itself and I seem to think that ... |

| I don't know why but I seem to feel more motivated to go out to places when I have appointments to go to, errands to run or after a short shift at work. I do a 10 hour contract at my workplace and I don't have another job other than this one. But if there are none of those things going on my days of... |

| I have heard the phrase: Another man's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter. I don't know if the same can be said of those people in a time of war who maybe are heroes to some but war criminals to others. When I think of a war hero, I tend think of someone who for example, saves or tries to... |

| You're too hard on yourself mate. I'm 52 and haven't had any kids yet but don't beat myself up over it. (although I do beat myself up over the many mistakes I've made in my life). I keep being told there are more older people having kids than ever before and for some reason that doesn't reassure me... |

| I seem to feel as though 20 year olds have all the time in the world to think about having kids but 30 year olds haven't. I worry about it because I may not want them right but that I might change my mind maybe 10 years from and that to do it then is not worth considering by then because the 20s and... |

I only feel like I'm missing out because I feel like I'm seein... |

But since we've had stuff like price rises, rises in people's bills, wars in Ukraine, Gaza etc.... |

But obviously because I hadn't signed on to WhatsApp I didn't know it had changed as my rota said I started at 10. I seem to think the telling off made me feel annoyed at myself and had ... |

| I sometimes feel as though because I wasn't in a relationship in the 20s, it feels like I've ''wasted my time'' and that I should be experienced with things such as sex by now when it comes to new relationships. I seem to think that men feel as though they ''have to be promiscuous'' when it comes to... |

| If you are a dude, I would not worry about this at all. You do not have a clock ticking. I am a woman and I had my only child right after I turned 37. I had already finished all the adventurous stuff I wanted to do, so I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. My kid is a handful. I would n... |

| It surprises me as a non American and a citizen of the UK that most states in the US have the death penalty alongside more authoritarian regimes such as North Korea, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia etc. Russia doesn't even have the death penalty. The UK abolished it in the 1960s because of many miscarriag... |

I don't seem to think that Russia has any interest in wanting to invade the rest of Europe including the UK and we can't really make Putin seem like he... |
