That's a very good point. The swastika was originally a (Native American?) sign of peace. Then that asshole Hitler had to go and fuck things up for everybody else.

I try not to be "insensitive" to all people I meet.\n\nI try to understand if they are having a bad day, then they may need to "vent" on some one and I have broad shoulders to listen to thier troubles.\n\nIf they are cutting me short, then they have so much to say, and cant find enough time in which to say it, or that I am boring them to tears and its best for me to shut up an listen to what they have to say.  Or, make myself more interesting and knowledgeable so that they will "want" to listen to me.\n\nPeople being loud, could be a hearing deficiency, and may need to have hearing aides, but may not be able to afford them or think that there is stigma attached to people with them on and so they dont know how loud they sound, or, are around people who were hard of hearing and have talked that way for years, and dont know any other ways of talking!\n\n(yep, I have a relative that shouts all the time, but his mother was half deaf, and couldnt hear anyone, so, when she passed away, he continued to shout to everyone even after all these years... I ask him to tone it down because I can hear him fine...he does for awhile until he forgets, then I gently ask him again.. it works out fine)...\n\nAll we have to be is more understanding to everyone, and think of all the disabilities that can be seen and unseen, and we would know each others situation and wanted to be treated kindly by others...\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

I can't hide my feelings from most people once they get to know me

i have almost exactly the same problem. what i'm trying to do is to be more talkative and loud around my friends so that i get comfortable with it, then i hope i'll be more talkative in general, even with people who arent my really good friends.

Sounds like me. But what I do is think about whats important and think about the decisions that I and it will affect my life. If you are religious talk to God.  Talk to you family or close freinds for advise no matter how many people youv'e asked usally the more repeated advise you get is probably the best answers to you problems. This might sound funny but talk to yourself at night when your alone and try to re-play whatever is bothering you like if your really there, that usally works for me.

This is what i do.. I call a friend up and tell her to call me later on in the day and ask me what i got done that day and i would do the same for her,  somehow it works, i guess because i don't want to tell her i did nothing .  Try it

hey... its good that ur calling out like that, it only shows u truly do have ambition despite the people/circumstances around u that hold you back. why dont u write to me, jammiecon@yahoo... i'm going through the same problem but my reasons are different, i've had a bad life and it seems like when i really want to do something, sh1t gets in the way and just beats me down. i need to talk too and like really get some motivation boosts. we should email, seriously, we'll set our goals together n challenge each other n stuff.\n\ntheres too many lecture-therapeutic-type things to stay to you i cant just post it here... generally, good luck, and remember its a v good thing u asked. i hope this, and everybody else's answers, helps.

You are not crazy. Therapy won't help. You know what your doing why you do it is because you love to test people and see how much they will believe! It's fun! But on the other hand you may just be looking for attention all I really know is I make up completly rediculous stories and people believe them! It cracks me up! Then I come clean and tell the truth and laugh at them for believing me! But if you really want to justify your problem just remind yourself that It's not a lie if you believe it!

omg I'm quiet and shy too! People think I'm a snob and that I think I'm too good for them. One of the reasons they do that is because I dont smile. I know its hard, people tell shy people to just go up and talk to someone but its not that easy. I would try talking more to your friends (that would help you not to be as quiet and show people that you can talk to other people as well) thats what I am working on now. Good Luck!

Totally know what you mean...  Depending on what you're telling them, they may be finding it too difficult or awkward to deal with on the spot, and so their natural reaction is to walk away.  And there's a fair chance they just don't know what to say to you and feel really really awkward.  Also, keep in mind that, while being told people are going to pray for you can get annoying really fast, that they say it because they want you to know they care, and they generally don't know how else to say it.\nHope things work out for you, and I hope you find someone you can share your thoughts with when you want to, and I hope you get over your depression and feel better.

i understand u.. i hate it when people dont tell me the truth or hide everything behind a lie.. but u know what? it's no me the one lying.. it's not me being dishonest.. i know i deserve something better.. i know i wont change ... it hurts.. like it always does in any type of situation.. but things only happen for the bettter... we have to learn to deal with that cause it's going to happen a lot of times... we have to keep on going with what we have.. with what we care for... i'm listening to some cool songs and laughing at my assistant here... he's listening to blues and sings like he's the best but he sucks ass!!... :P
