Recently I have been having trouble staying positive. I've always been a very optimistic, encouraging person, but recently I have had a lot of trouble with pessimism.

I can go into detail explaining different things that have happened in my life that probably contributed to the feeling, but it's more of a life story and a series of events that are just too long for one Yahoo Answers question. What I'm more interested in is your opinion.

What is very important is that last night is when I realized it. A girl that I've had feelings for (blah blah blah) anyways, I was really sad and told her that we could never talk again. In the morning I realized that I wanted to know her still, I don't really know why I ever said "bye" to her in the first place. It was a completely illogical decision, and I told her today that I didn't mean it, and we are talking again.

What is bothering me is that once again I'm getting that feeling of sadness. It seems to be a feeling that occurs nightly as things start to quiet down. When my cat ran away a few years ago, I had anxiety issues at night for quite some time. The anxiety led to somewhat panic attacks and I went to see a therapist for a short while before I was able to move on from it.

Since then I have grown up significantly (it happened in elementary school, I'm in grade 12 now) but I feel like maybe those anxiety issues are starting to return. There is a certain amount of stress that goes into being a teenager, and I don't have nearly as much as others, nor do I consider my life to be all that stressful, but I wonder if the stress and worries that I do have is causing me to have this anxiety.

The most direction question I can ask is: what is the best way to deal with anxiety, and chronic worry?

Thanks if you took the time to read!

In the game Smite you can choose to buy a Ward or Sentry Ward. A Sentry Ward does what a Ward does, but also detects enemy Wards for the same price. Why not always buy a Sentry Ward????

It's a bit of writing, but it's not dry.

I have a laptop and I went to systemrequirementslab.com to see if I could run the game Smite. The website tested my computer and said that my computer failed to meet the minimum requirements. Specifically, the website said that my video card was not strong enough - everything else met the standards.

I downloaded the game to see if I truly could not run it and I was, in fact, able to. It was very laggy however, so I brought the screen size down to a significantly smaller window. This made the lag significantly less and I was able to play multiple consecutive games of Smite while on Skype with no problems. After about a month of this however, my computer began to crash while playing Smite and on Skype. It would say that it entered a "Thermal Shutdown" due to overheating. I decided to not run Skype while running Smite (I actually ran no background programs at all) and that worked. I was able to play Smite in my small windowed version without crashing.

Now, however, my game is crashing during the middle of just my first match due to overheating. I know that my fan is not broken, and it sometimes is barely even on when I crash.

Could this constant inability to play the game really be due to my video card? Thank you for your assistance.

For some reason whenever I find a song that I like, I suddenly get an urge to share it with others... XD. Give it a rating out of 5, 10, 20, a general opinion, whatever ya like! :D

Is there a Singleplayer Commands mod updated to 1.5.1 (redstone update) that I can download yet? I have found a few downloads, but all of them have ended unsuccessfully. Any help is appreciated, because I would really like the mod. Thank you.

I have met some people online, and we've sort of become pen pals. They tell me that they go to school in Japan at an American military camp, as their families are involved with the navy. I am wondering what kind of a style of life that is like. I mean, are there many other American students that go to the school? Is it mainly Japanese? Is it a mix? I am just curious as to what kind of a micro-culture exists there- if any at all. Thanks!

Brief backstory:

I've known a girl for 2 years. I didn't start developing strong feelings for her until roughly May, but I'm a really big idiot and never did anything about it, we just stayed friends. Time went on, and in October she got a boyfriend. I felt super jealous, and panicked, lost, and confused. I had to tell her that I loved her, because that's how I feel about her, so I did (along with other things). She didn't really treat it like a big deal, and for Christmas I wanted to get her a gift. I told her I would, and she started asking me not to. I thought she was just being humble or whatever, so I brushed it off, but when it came time to give it to her I missed her at school, so I went to her house the day after boxing day. She didn't answer her phone, or the door, so I went home, and we texted that night and she was offended that I showed up at her house. We had an argument, but now she says she's forgiven me.

I was talking to her a few days ago, and I mentioned to her that we don't talk enough, I want to see her more, etc. and she said that we're friends. I told her that we weren't really, and she said that she considers me her friend, but I said that friends talk. She told me through text, "I dunno, I guess I just need time. Ya."

She has reassured me multiple times that she likes me as a friend, cares about me, and enjoys talking to me, so why would she say this? I understand that she might find things weird since I like her and she knows and she has a boyfriend, but she genuinely says that she cares about me a lot, so why should it matter? I would be so happy if she would just talk to me, because the last 3 months of my life have been a haze, and I feel like I'm going a little bit crazy. I just want to talk to her so badly, and it seems like she doesn't care about me. What can I do? Why is she feeling this way?

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I appreciate it.

At the end of October a girl I know told me she had a bf and I really, really like her. I've always had feelings for her and now they've only gotten stronger. In mid-November we talked more about it, like I told her how I feel (I really care about her, want her to be happy, etc.) and she said that I would "get over it" or that "it will pass". In other words, she doesn't really want me to feel this way. She's still super nice, understanding, and caring, but I can tell that this guy really makes her happy- not me.

I don't look at any other girls the same way as I look at her, but there is a girl I just met who is pretty cute, she's smart, athletic, full of smiles, and I think that she might like me. Should I already be moving on from the girl I've had feelings for for a long time? I feel like me saying that I care about her a lot and then going off and being with some other girl is really hypocritical. Any advice? Thanks for reading, have a good day!

Is the traffic a WordPress website experiences similar to the traffic a YouTube video experiences? I have been posting a blog every day for the past few days, but literally no one has seen it. How do I make it easier for people to find my blog? Is there a way? Wanna read it yourself? :P haha. Thanks, any help is appreciated :).

Firstly, I just want to make it clear that at the end of the day it's just Twitter- I'm just curious and thinking that perhaps I'm missing something obvious... you tell me.

There is a girl I've known for about 2 years now, and we talk a lot (texting more than in person but that's a different story) and about a month and a half ago I professed my love for her. I'm 16, so most won't believe that I love a girl at this age, but the fact is I absolutely adore every little thing about her and love everything about her, so love is the best word I got. Anyways, I'm following her on Twitter (for obvious reasons) and I've favouited a few of her tweets, replied to some, and retweeted some, but she doesn't follow me. I'm just curious as to why she won't follow me. I don't spam, she said that she's ok with what I told her (ie. things aren't awkward between us) and I'm always friendly on Twitter.

Like I said, it's really not that big of a deal, but is there any reason why she isn't following me? Thanks :)

This song is considered drumstep, which is essentially a variation of dubstep. Rate it between 1 (absolutely terrible) - 10 (absolutely amazing). I'm curious to see. Personally I rate it at about a 7 or 8 :D.

So needless to say I've recently been friendzoned by a girl. I want her to know how I feel- which is pretty bad about the whole situation, but I don't want to get angry with her or straight up tell her because that's just not the mature thing to do. That being said, it would be so relieving if she knew. Is there any way that I can somehow hint at it so that she'll know how I feel, without me having to come right out and say it?

So there's this girl :P. I posted another question before that may give you some backstory if you care to read it- but what you need to know is that I love this girl. I'm in highschool, and I pretty much never believe people my age when they say they are in love (or love their bf/gf) but I have thought about this a long time and love is the best word I have. Anyways, she has a boyfriend, but I want to tell her how I feel about her. There's this author's contest at my school and I wrote a poem for it, that seems like it's about life but it's secretly about her. I want to get her to read it and after she does tell her that it's about her, and tell her how I feel about her in more depth.

My question is: is this a good idea? Might this be too much of a shock? Should I do something different? I'm just looking for a bit of guidance if anyone has some to offer :)

Thanks for reading, have a great day!

***It looks like a lot but I wrote it very clear and it's actually a quick read if you care enough :)***.

Brief backstory:

-I'm 16 (gr.11)

-Male

-Living in Canada

In gr.9 I met a girl (we'll call her Brittany), and we talked a lot in class. We never really talked outside of class, and I tried a lot but she was either shy or idk but she never opened up to me/talked to me like she did in class. I enjoyed talking to her though, so I cherished that one class of the day. Last year we barely talked in person, but texted a lot, and I've wanted to talk to her and hang out with her but I guess I sort of gave up.

Last year we both told each other that we had feelings for each other, but I wasn't ready for a relationship. I told myself that I wouldn't get a girlfriend until I had a job. Well I got a job, and didn't ask her out. Idk, I was confused about my feelings about her I suppose.

Now I've tried to convince myself that I don't like her. I've told myself over and over that I don't like her, trying to teach my brain to stop thinking that way- but every time I see her I want to get closer to her- I can't help myself. There are aspects about her that I don't like- but that just means she isn't perfect- which I like!

Well recently I don't have a job, and I've been trying to talk to her in person more, and she told me something (through text -_-) something I didn't expect. A guy she knows from another town (we'll call him John) asked her out and she said yes. I started talking to her about it, and she told me some of the details, including that he kissed her. For some reason I read that and felt jealous as hell. I've never been kissed and thought that she hasn't either, but I'm now obviously wrong. I convinced myself that I didn't like her, yet reading that made me feel like an idiot for every trying that.

Now she'll probably be going out with that guy for a while, because she describes him as nice, caring, thoughtful, good-listener, funny, sweet, and pretty much everything else that I think I am- but he has what I don't. He knew what he wanted and had the balls to get it whereas me, I sat back.

Ultimately I want her to be happy, and if that means sucking it up and letting this guy have her so be it. I would rather her never see me again and her be happy than her know me and not be happy.

I'm typing all of this because I need some advice. What should I do? Is there anything I can do? What would you do? Anything will help.

Thank you for reading this, and please e-mail me if answering standard way doesn't help.

I am 16, male and have a question. There's a girl I know (I posted a question earlier that has some detail about my specific case) and some people that I've shared my story with say that it sounds like I love her- but do I? How do I know what love is when it seems like sooo many teenagers keep falling in love? What are some characteristics that truly say that I love someone?

We talk for any amount of time with no issues, but yesterday he starting appearing Idle. It only says it for a few seconds (maybe 10 or 15) then goes away. During that time I can type messages and they appear in the chat, but it does not say "John is typing..." or "John has entered text" until he appears green again. He is not setting himself to idle, so what is going on here and can I fix it?
