Did our lithium prescription run out??? No, really, I don't think you're on drugs but I think perhaps you may need to be. ;-)

Argggh......there is this thing called stereotyping....eh??\n\nDon't worry, people assume I'm a dumb blonde. We just have to show them who we really are and be patient with their little narrow minds. :)

People find comfort in believing others are like them. They created a "normal" way of acting outwardly but inside everyone is still unique. (being different isn't the bad thing though, lying to yourself to "fit in" is)

I think everyone has faults they do not acknowledge. No one wants to admit something is their fault. So many people use the victim stance. I.E. Addiction is not the addicts fault the drug dealers, bartenders, spouses, parents fault never theirs. Most times when someone gets arrested they usually blame everyone but themselves. In relationships it is always the partners fault.  It takes two pople to make or break a relationship. Even in my divorce I know there were so many things I did wrong. Things I had control over. Things I allowed to happen.

What were you smoking? \nMost people (I'm not saying I personally KNOW this fact, ok?) but most people get really mellow and they just have this , how can I describe it...'wow, man' type of vibe. You just 'get it'. \nFor others, it's not even fun, it's a drag, your all paranoid and it's no fun.\nDrugs are different with each person. You just didn't respond to it in a positive way, which was probably a good thing. Saved you a lot of wasted time right! \ngood question!

What is normal? we all have things about us that make us different. That is why we are all unique, because we are our own individuals. I would NEVER want to be labeled, and definitely not labeled as normal.

Everyone is different. I'm the same way where I like to learn things at my own pace. And yes, I don't like people pointing out my wrong doings. I am a bit slow cause of the medication I am on.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE PARANOID WHEN YOU THINK OTHER PEOPLE ARE TALIKNG ABOUT YOU. SOMETIMES YOU FEEL EVERYONE IS LOOKING AT YOU ONLY. AT TIMES, ON THE BUS AND TRAIN, WHEN I GET THAT CRAZY FEELING I LOOK AWAY OR GET REALLY DEEP INTO MY MUSIC. I TRY TO GET AWAY  FROM PEOPLE'S GAZES. PART OF THE REASON PEOPLE MIGHT THINK YOU ARE, IS CUZ YOU ACT NERVOUS AROUND CROWDS. I DO BUT I TRY TO FOCUS ON SOMETHING PLEASANT WHEN I FEEL LIKE THAT.

MAYBE HE IS BI-POLAR OR MANIC DEPRESSANT. THEY GET VERY PARANOID TO WHERE YOU DO THINK THEY ARE ON DRUGS. GET HIM TO A DOCTOR AND GET TESTED.  GOOD LUCK!

People will think what they think, and you can't stop them.  Clearly you are having fun and enjoying yourself, that's all that counts!\n\nHowever, if they care enough to ask you, or even better, to not pry around in stuff that isn't their business, they are the good ones.  \n\nDon't let what people think stop you from living life the way you want to live it!

For several reasons.  One, taking drugs alters your perceptions.  A person who takes drugs is profoundly altering their world-view.  They are "learning/experiencing" things that others don't and it alters them.\n\nSecond, many people take drugs as a form of self-medication.  Ex.  They are emotionally hurting over something and take drugs to feel better; or it is a cry for help.\n\nRegardless, taking recreational drugs can potentially harmful.  Before ingesting substances that could harm you, you should research exactly what it will do for you.\n\nI work as an ER nurse and have seen the dangers of drug abuse.  Marijuana is pretty much harmless, but things like crystal meth are insane.  I wish people could see what "tweakers" look like when they wig out.  I wish they could see the PET scans of tweakers brains... the ones where the brains look like swiss cheese.

I have my own personal nightmares due to drug use in my teens and 20's...i thought i was using socially and had everything under control...actually the drugs were controlling me and influenced my decisions, attitudes and behaviors....in the end, I was so low...I had done a lot of things I never thought I would do, stayed out longer than I had wanted to stay and was around a lot of people I didn't even like...TODAY, I am HIGH ON LIFE...I have accepted my mistakes and changed the way I look at life...I stay away from people, places and things that remind me of where I used to be...I have a relationship with God today, other people who encourage me and support me...people who call me on my stuff cause I always want things my way...but today it's about doing the right thing for the right reasons...I know today that no matter what, I don't have to use drugs ...Using is not the solution.

Hi, Apparently they do have something to prove if their peers think of them the way you do.  You are stereotyping by saying all Mexicans drink and womanize.  Those characteristics can be found in all races and all nationalities, including yours.  I think it is very racist and prejudicial to think like you do.  I feel sorry for you and hope that you can someday be more compassionate with  people of all races.

Do you believe in yourself or not? Seems you're quite comfortable with who you are, so why should you care what others, especially people you say you have nothing in common with, think of you?\n\nIf you don't go, you're just sorta proving to them that their opinion about you is right. It isn't like you've to continue seein them or anythin, it's just one night. So go, brace yourself for some bitchy comments, but keep your smile in place....have fun, and return to your life after that.

This is true. People are more comfortable expressing their feelings if they are drunk or a little tipsy. It takes the edge off. Usually when people are drunk, they tend to tell the truth.

What a load of tripe.\n\nI enjoy a drink when I go out, but I dont drink to get drunk, I drink because I like the taste and it helps me to lose my inhibitions - and not because I am 'conscious' of the people around me and not because someone has died nor because I want to forget something bad has happened, but because I WANT to -  however, I have never been so drunk that I havent remember what I got up to the night before, nor have I have been so drunk that I wasnt in control of myself   -  (but even if I had - thats my look out).  \n\nI think the only time people make fools of themselves when they are drunk (or even sober) are when they become aggressive and/or verbally abusive - anything else (i.e. dancing on tables, on the podium, singing etc etc) is just fun (and who needs drink to do that - however, I think it can enhance your performance lol!!)  and I dont think these people make fools of themselves - life is meant to be fun - what YOU find fun might not be someone elses idea of fun   -  live and let live, as long as no one is hurt then its alllllllll gooooood!!!
